WPLouisville project inclusion

At time of the occurrence, this was in Clark County, and is still close to the border of Clark still, although I do believe it is actually in Scott County. Does it still belong in WP Louisville, as Stevie has been deleting WP Louisville status from other Scott County places?-- Bedford 07:06, 19 June 2007 (UTC) reply

I left it unchanged because I couldn't tell whether it was in Clark County or not. Scott County isn't inside the current Louisville MSA, and this is why I'm dropping Scott County subjects -- nothing against Scott County. Stevie is the man! TalkWork 14:00, 19 June 2007 (UTC) reply
The site is well into Scott County, 1.3 km from the Clark County line. Greghahn ( talk) 23:55, 3 July 2022 (UTC) reply

Infobox?

I was thinking of adding an infobox for the massacre, but I'm not sure what it should look like, exactly. A normal battle infobox would probably work, as there were two distinct sides, each with some casualties. But would I list it as a part of the War of 1812?

Indians

The use of "Native Americans" throughout this article is incredibly awkward. Political correctness is getting in the way of flow. Could someone please consider reverting this?

Indians

I am reverting "Native Americans" back to "Indians." This is standard throughout Wikipedia. The article on the Battle of Little Bighorn uses "Indians" throughout. There is literally an article titled "Plains Indians." Back in March of 2018, someone with "R4dic4l" (radical) in his name changed every instance to the incredibly awkward and rather Canadian "First Nations Peoples." Someone later softened this to the slightly less awkward "Native Americans," but "Indians" is really most appropriate in this context. History books do not refer to a "French and Native Americans War" or a "French and First Nations Peoples War." DescendentOfMassacredAncestors ( talk) 20:45, 20 March 2020 (UTC) reply

Both terms are common. See Native_American_name_controversy. Some people have very strong feelings about this, so just do the best you can and know that there will always be someone who wants to change it. Canute ( talk) 12:49, 23 March 2020 (UTC) reply
