Talk:Petrolia, Ontario

First oil well

Just wanted to lay to rest the American chauvinism: Oil Springs had the first oil well in NAm (1857), not Titusville (1859...). Trekphiler 20:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Petrolia, Ontario

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Petrolia, Ontario's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "cp2011":

• From Lambton County: "Lambton County census profile". 2011 Census of Population. Statistics Canada. Retrieved 2012-03-28.
• From Dawn-Euphemia: "Dawn-Euphemia census profile". 2011 Census of Population. Statistics Canada. Retrieved 2012-08-08.
• From Oil Springs, Ontario: "Oil Springs census profile". 2011 Census of Population. Statistics Canada. Retrieved 2012-02-09.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 22:23, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
