British Columbia Aviation Figures Without WikiTree Profiles

You can add profiles for British Columbia notables starting with information from:

The Canadian Encyclopedia

The Dictionary of Canadian Biography

Wikipedia

or other sources.

Name	Notable As
William Munroe Archibald	Pilot
Russ Baker	Bush pilot and co-founder of Pacific Western Airlines
Frederick Howard Buller	Aeronautical Engineer
Helen Harrison-Bristol	Aviation instructor and Canadian Air Transport Auxiliary ferry pilot
Fred Lasby (no WikiPedia page)	Oldest pilot to fly around the world solo
George Bayliss Lothian	Pilot
George Thomson	World War I flying ace
John Henry Tudhope	World War I flying ace
Douglas Warren	RCAF pilot and commander

Please list each person's date and place of birth and death and at least a short biography explaining why the person is important.

Once a profile for a BC Notable has been added to WikiTree, there are a few things which need to be added:

Sticker: {{British Columbian Sticker}} The British Columbian sticker marks this person as an early or significant British Columbian.

Privacy: The privacy level should be set to "Open" for deceased notables. (Please do not add living notables. Contact the leaders of the Canada Project for guidance on this issue.)

Sources: There should be a link under "See also:" to that person's entry in Wikipedia, the Canadian Encyclopedia, the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, KnowBC, or some similar source (and, in the case of people who are listed on Wikipedia, there needs to be a link to their Wikidata entry, and the WikiTree ID needs to be entered into their Wikidata entry). Use these to create Wikipedia links:

• * Wikipedia: [[wikipedia:Person_Name|Person Name]]
• * {{Wikidata|Q1234567|enwiki}}

Categories: The appropriate categories should be added: places of birth, longtime residence, and death, occupation(s), honours received, etc.

British Columbia Notable Aviation Figures In Need Of Improvement

Even once a profile has been added to WikiTree, it often needs further improvement:

a narrative biography

at least one primary source

at least one non-copyrighted picture of that person

and a connection to the global tree.

(If you see links at the bottom of the profile listing how many degrees that person is from King Henry VIII and two other people, then their profile is connected to the main tree. To find out more about getting a profile connected to the main tree, see the Connectors Project page.)

Please review the list below and see if you can assist by improving upon one or more of the profiles.

Name	Biography?	Sources?	Image?	Connected?
Charles Robert Reeves Hickey DFC	Yes	Needs more	Yes	Yes
Herbert (Kenyon) Hollick-Kenyon	Yes	Needs better citations	Yes	Yes
George William Grant McConachie	Yes	Needs more	Yes	Yes
James Henry Whalen DFC	Yes	Needs more	Yes	Yes

Each profile should meet all of the requirements detailed on the: Profile Quality Levels page.
