@Moxy:: Promoted to Good Article on March 23, previously had been redirect to Military history of Canada#Participation in peacekeeping missions, DYK check reports over 10,000 characters, well cited, neutral, earwig reports violation unlikely (23.7%), QPQ not needed, hooks interesting, length checked ok.
- Issue: The reference for the first sentence (until 1989) in the lede does not support the 1989 claim and is not the same as the one given above (Rudderham) for ALT0 and the one given in the Canadian peacekeeping#Peacekeeping efforts section. The first reference in the article should be changed to Rudderham, or removed. See MOS:LEADCITE. Also check the Military history of Canada#Participation in peacekeeping missions section reference. ALT1 cite checks ok. Thanks, Zeete (talk) 18:50, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
