Lucille Dumont

- ... that Canadian singer and radio/television host Lucille Dumont (pictured) first performed under the name Micheline Lalonde to hide her real identity?

Although the hook is stated in the article, I ran the two sources given through Google translate, and neither source mentions the name Micheline Lalonde. — Maile (talk) 22:20, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
- Maile, I apologize - I accidentally inserted the wrong sources for the inline citations. I've corrected the mistake & have cited the correct sources (5 in total). Thank you for pointing this out. Howkafkaesque (talk) 04:11, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
- The fact seems to be stated in source 2 bio.starquebec.net, on which this article is most heavily reliant. However, the authorship of this source is not clear to me; I'm not sure it is reliable, and this is a BLP. In the section entitled Crédits et liens (Sources and links), there is a link back to Wikipedia. I speak French; ping me and would be happy to review any French-language sources.

- Intelligentsium, thanks for raising your concerns. I initially shared your concerns about the reliability of the source; however, after having reviewed the Crédits et liens section, I believe the source is reliable because the information on the page appears to be drawn from the books and audio-visual documents cited ("Credits") & the Internet links ("liens") are simply included as external links for the audience's exploration. Also, I've changed the inline citations for the hook fact to include 4 sources in addition to the bio.starquebec.net resource. Howkafkaesque (talk) 04:11, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
New reviewer needed to check the sourcing and hook issues before putting this back in prep. — Maile (talk) 11:48, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Howkafkaesque: The site should probably be regarded as a tertiary source. However, besides their sources, tertiary sources must also independently meet the requirement of a "reputation for fact-checking and accuracy", which generally comes from an author who is a professional in the field or a reliable publisher such as a news organ. Do you know anything about the authorship of the site that would confirm such a reputation? Intelligentsium 02:39, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, Intelligentsium, I haven't been able to determine the authorship of the site. As a workaround, I'm currently going through the reliable sources used by the site (e.g. the documentary associated with CBC, Canada's national TV broadcaster) & will use those as sources to replace the site. I'll update here once finished. Howkafkaesque (talk) 21:59, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
- I've eliminated bio.starquebec.net as a source for the article & would like to submit this for review. Howkafkaesque (talk) 21:24, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
Hook, length, and date verified. No close paraphrasing detected. Thanks for the hard work! Intelligentsium 22:12, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
