... that Jennifer Reid originally could not find a Canadian publisher for a book she wrote on Canadian identity? Source: Reid said she initially wanted to have her book published in Canada, but couldn’t find a publisher and settled for release in the United States. + Against the backdrop of these legendary uprisings, Jennifer Reid examines Riel’s religious background, the mythic significance that has consciously been ascribed to him, and how these elements combined to influence Canada’s search for a national identity

Both articles are long enough and moved from draft in time. Earwig found no copyright problems and spotchecks revealed no concerns. Articles are neutral and there are no BLP concerns.

Inline sourcing is provided. However, in Jennifer Reid I would strongly question the use of Ref 2 to a memorial site; even if it is adequately reliable there's nothing to indicate it is the correct Jennifer Reid. From Ref 3 I would say it is a stretch to say her father was a friend of Oscar Peterson. I'm also very worried about the use of an Academia.edu source for the CV in Ref 6, which covers much of the text; CVs should generally be hosted at an academic institution not a self-publishing site. Sourcing in Louis Riel and the Creation of Modern Canada has the problem that there is an sfn error in multiple references, but I think it's just trying to cite different pages in the book itself; otherwise sourcing is adequate for this one.

Hooks are interesting and concise. Alt1 is adequately supported by sourcing. Alt0 I'm concerned that the source for the book being about national identity is merely the book's blurb. It would be better to source this to a review.

There is no image.

Two QPQs have been done.

Other issues: in addition to the sfn error noted above, both articles could do with some light copy editing; eg there are several punctuation errors. I'll try to fix them later but I'm running late now. Espresso Addict (talk) 14:30, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Espresso Addict: Thanks for the review. Before doing the rest, just have to note first that the sfn issue is a recurring issue with Citation bot. ミラP@Miraclepine 16:36, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Espresso Addict: The parents mentioned in the ref 1 match with the couple in refs 2 and 3, which both mention a daughter named Jennifer, and ref 2 says she was in Farmington where her employer University of Maine at Farmington is in. There's also a match of the father's place Arnprior in ref 2 with her Louis Riel Day interview saying she was raised in Arnprior. I think there's a high level of confidence here. Oh, and I fixed the Oscar Peterson issue for now.

Since she is now retired, the best I could find was in the Wayback Machine, but the CV should be fine for WP:ABOUTSELF. And for the ideology part, I have added a JSTOR review ref which says that the book at base is about the role of collective memory in the production of Canadian national identity, with Riel standing as the central figure in that mnemonic production. ミラP@Miraclepine 22:51, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
