Dates
Can someone update the dates for 2020? I would do so, except I am a volunteer for the organisation, which means I shouldn’t be updating the article myself. — Preceding

Heh... You added this here right as I added it to the actual article. :) There are some articles on Anime News Network too (since Otakuthon is Chris Macdonald's home con) but that site appears to be down at the moment. --

One other place to look are the Montreal newspapers. Unfortunately, I don't know where to look for those papers or if they will even be English friendly. --Farix (

Yeah, I found some web pages in French. Unfortunately, I'm too tired at the moment to remember my high school French. C'est la vie. --

Go ahead and put the sources on here. Maybe someone else will take the trouble to translate and add them to the article. --Farix (

Dubious source
I have tagged the information that is reported to come directly from the convention chairperson. Unfortunately, the convention chairperson is not a
published source and the information that comes directly from him or her cannot be
verified. If a reliable published source is not found, then the information will be removed within one week. --Farix (
Talk) 22:28, 10 July 2008 (UTC)reply
A FAQ should be uploaded in the next website update. I'll link the info to there when the page will be online. --

So in other words, it is unpublished and therefore
unverifiable. Well that means the information need to be removed. --Farix (

Are you the one writing the FAQ? Because if so, the info needs to be taken down do to a
conflict of interest. --Farix (

There's always meeting minutes, but these are not published publicly. The problem is that, with things like attendance figures, they're coming from the chairperson one way or another. You can grab the numbers off animecons (where I'd guess the previous editions' figures came from), but that's us who puts it there after the chairperson tells us. That's no different than me publishing a text file with all the information, and then using that as the published source. And, I mean, I can do that if it's required, publish an information page about Otakuthon with such figures and statistics... But how does taking what the chairperson says, putting it on a website, and THEN putting it on Wikipedia change anything?

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
Otakuthon'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.
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.
