Quote Attribution to Alanis Obosawin

I am about to remove the dubious marking on the quote in the article. This appears to have been carefully investigated by Quote Investigator. It seems from (admittedly internet) references that I have found that the quote is correctly attributed to Obomsawin. It is implied that it is very possible, that it is based on an older saying however that however requires further sources more reputable than the ones Quote Investigator gives.

If someone disagrees with this please give a clear explanation why here on the talk page. StacksofHoy (talk) 14:05, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for your efforts but I still wonder if the whole thing shouldn't simply be moved to Wikiquote, where it more belongs. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 00:05, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

DoneI've done so. The attributed quote and the controversy over its attribution has been moved here. I simply don't see much benefit to the article to hosting this discussion over the quote's origins. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:56, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Alanis Obomsawin. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
