Hi Kootenayvolcano. I don't think that we keep articles on elementary schools as a general rule, barring some special notability. Herostratus 02:31, 20 May 2007 (UTC) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:NewPages
hi, I reverted your edits. Although many of your minor edits are fine they are bundled with deleting content and refs which isn't fine and introducing new content which seems wonky (feminists authors). As a suggestion do the minor grammar fixes first as no one will be bothered on those. Then introduce new material, then look to deleting material. I'm sorry I reversed them all as you did some good work in there - I just couldn't separate it from the not so good edits. Benjiboi 13:29, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
I've removed the deletion tag from the article in order to give you an opportunity to make improvements that might (or might not) prevent it from being deleted. At present, I think it's a sure bet that the article will be nominated for the WP:AFD process (Articles for Deletion), which is a longer process than the "prod" tag previously applied, involving discussion & polling of other editors, but which still may lead to deletion. I've made suggestions at Talk:Lesbiphobia about some of the things you can do to improve the article. Also, please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by using four tildes <wiki> Yksin 16:40, 7 August 2007 (UTC)</nowiki> -- this automatically adds your username & the date/time of your post so that other users will know who/when a post was written, in case they want to respond to you.

Just so you know, Wikipedia's rule for North American radio stations is that they go at their call signs. The commonly known brand name can be a redirect, if it's unique (which it certainly is in this case), but we do have to keep the station at its CXXX-format call sign. The main motivation behind this is so that there's some consistency in how radio stations are presented — it would look really sloppy if we had a random and disorganized mixture of call signs and brand names coexisting in the same radio categories.

Hello! You are of course welcome to recreate the article if you can prove the notability of the subject, alternatively, you can request an overturn of the deletion here. Thanks for your time! Best, Keilana talk 00:11, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Combahee River Collective Statement requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
A tag has been placed on Beverly Smith requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from
Separatist feminism. When removing text, please specify a reason in the
edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's
talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the
page history. Take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the

I saw your edits over at Cherríe Moraga, and I follwed them over to the Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press article, where I realized that there was no article on This Bridge Called My Back, so I created one. It's just a little stub right now and doesn't have much there, but, seeing your history, I thought you might be interested in working on it if you get the chance.-- Irn ( talk) 01:12, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello! I've seen with interest some of your contributions to this topic, which you seem to know fairly closely. It would be great if you could link related entries to the main article Black feminism; maybe the creation of a Category:Black feminism would be a good idea if you know who to include in it. Cheers!

I hope you're still working on the article.

Thanks for uploading Image:Onair.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. StewieGriffin! • Talk 18:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi; I see you have lots of Sinixt sources/resources; a missing element in Wikipedia's coverage of BC First Nations langauge is a language article; no linguist has started one yet (as is the case with most language articles) and all I could myself pull off is a stub saying hte language exists, but it won't survive unless it has a cite or two. This in the wake of an edit to Incomappleux River where Okanagan language was taken out by an IP user who subtituted Interior Salish as "correct" - which it's not as Interior Salish is a language group, not a language. The BCGNIS source says Incommapleux is of Okanagan origin; if you have a different cite saying it's Sinixt then by all means....why I came to you, other than your very evident focus on the Sinixt article, is the IP user who made that "correction" also made an edit to your talkpage (the section titled "Article").

I edited your submission to the Dorothy E. Smith article for accuracy. You had the two phrases of the title reversed, properly it should be "Women Look at Psychiatry: I'm Not Mad I'm Angry".

Hi; figured given your username you're a good person to ask to drop by Talk:Kootenays#Pron.. Skookum1 ( talk) 21:43, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi, wanted to get your opinion on the East Kootenay/West Kootenay division point; the Kootenays article has two possible versions, I can see the logic of the one that says Creston is in the East Kootenay, because of the time zone thing and also because it never used to be road-linked to Nelson/Trail/Castlegar except by the Balfour ferry....it seems odd to view Riondel as in the East Kootenay, though, as I associate that term with Kimberly-Cranbrook and beyond, maybe starting at Yahk (if not at Creston). You seem to be much more a Kootenay person than I am so I thought I'd ask.....reason being I I just went and created Category:Settlements in the West Kootenay and Category:Settlements in the Slocan and Category:Settlements in the Boundary Country and wanted to start Category:Settlements in the East Kootenay with Elk Valley and Columbia Valley subcats maybe.....I've never liked using the regional district cats to classify anything, especially ghost towns, Indian Reserves and basically anything that's not directly part of RD jurisdiction/governance, so I do "end runs" on those cats with things like Category:Settlements in the Chilcotin etc...anyway your thoughts on this appreciated; the term "Central Kootenay" just grates on me because it's of such recent coinage, and it's almost like the government made it to "usurp the identity" of the West Kootenay, with all its cultural and political baggage/history....

Hello Kootenayvolcano! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 868 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Hi; tossed your name out in a discussion re the huge overlap between these two articles; see here; User:Shannon1 has been busy on the river article as you'll see.... Also on my mind for a while, other than an East/West split (and how you would define that division), is I've never liked that map on the Kootenays page, your thoughts on the boundaries shown welcome (best reply on that article's talkpage), and on how to approach a Silvery Slocan article on the silver rush....it's almost like there should be a Kootenay workgroup, but the same could be said about the Omineca or Cariboo or Skeena or VI huh?

The article Gemma (organization) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach

Thanks for the kind words. As I also mentioned just now to SeMelmoth, I'd be very happy to set up a workgroup page for LGBT issues in Canada. Although I know I'm not the only Canadian editor with an interest in LGBT topics, a little too often it's felt like I was because there's not much active coordination going on, with the result that a lot of stuff we really should have has fallen through the cracks. The workgroup wouldn't be a full WikiProject in its own right, but just a subpage of Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada and Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies, where we could do things like keeping a list of article topics that people might want to tackle creating or cleaning up, compiling a list of resources that can be used, and other discussion that might be warranted. So I'll try to set that up in the next few days, and once it's up and running feel free to consult and or contribute to it as much or as little as you want :-) Bearcat ( talk) 18:52, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi; figured I should let you know I've created a few articles for places in the Kootenays as part of working up/filling out List of communities in British Columbia. Among them, so far, are Erickson, British Columbia, Lemon Creek, British Columbia and Appledale, British Columbia.

On the same general topic of "coverage of the Kootenays", this has been a redlink on {{ Steamboats British Columbia}} for a while, I did some research on this with the author of Steamboats of the Upper Fraser River and have been meaning for a while, if not for all the crossfire on inanities and endless maintenance edits and CfDs and such, to get at Steamboats of Harrison Lake and the Lower Fraser River and Steamboats of Kamloops Lake and Shuswap Lake (or Steamboats of the Thompson River and Shuswap Lake maybe) but just haven't had time. The Kootenay/Kootenai title as presented was the result of long discussions about how to cover those routes; editors from WP:WikiProject Idaho and WP:WikiProject Montana may be around to help on the Kootenai River material.

Just after you added the Sinixt version of the name of Nakusp there came a change obliterating mention of the Ktunaxa version and of the territorial claims of the Ktunaxa and Secwepemc. I fixed that just now but it's clear that User:Sinkalip has an agenda; another change was on the Rock Creek or Rock Creek Gold Rush page where "Kettle Indians" were changed to "Sinixt Indians" and on other articles where mention of the Okanagan people was also removed. I suspect you may be more diplomatic dealing with Sinixt activism than I am, and may be able to deal with User:Sinkalip's activities in less strong language than I might use; obliterating someone else's history to assert your own is not acceptable in Wikipedia. There's a history for me with "them", via an old argument on The Tyee (which actually brought threats of violence to my email if I "didn't leave the Sinixt alone".

[undent] Language articles have their own set formats and such; WP:WikiProject Languages prob has templates. Within NorthAmNative a number of years ago, some parameters were set out for coverage; different articles for governments and organizations, people/ethno/history material, reserves/reservations, and languages all have separate articles and should ultimately in every case have separate articles; soemtimes seems redundant and difficult to sort out in other parts of Canada for various reasons, but "out here" (including the PacNW portion of the US, most of that's now in place. With the Sinixt of course there's no government article to be made, though there is one for their council or whatever it's called. There was a reserve mentioned in one of the cites I read last night, maybe Dawson, not sure, about a reserve on South Arrow Lake (1902) that now no longer exists; what's described and Sinkalip will probably dispute is that it was about half-Sinixt, half-Shuswap.....another of those anthro sources, maybe Boas, says that the Sinixt originated from intermarriage between the Shuswap and Ktunaxa, but that wouldn't be the first time Boas is in error. Teit's supplementary work probably says different. Skookum1 ( talk) 03:30, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
It's cites like these that make me wary of relying only on social science 'conclusions'; I realize that makes no difference in WP:RS but think about it....does this author have actual case data to back up that claim? Any surveys? And kinda sweeping and negative as an assumption huh? Whatever, it's just stuff like this comment that's quoted that makes me turn up my nose at "the New History"; no scientific data, just moralizing based on what amounts to hearsay. Skookum1 ( talk) 17:08, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
By the way- if you were uncomfortable with using the Pearkes quote in particular I'd be willing to take it out of the article. I live in the region, and happen to agree with her, based on my personal experience, but that doesn't mean it's objectively true. Please let me know. Kootenayvolcano ( talk) 18:06, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
I know I can, and it's nowhere near as hard as Nlaka'pamux that's for sure......there's a Requested Move back to Ktunaxa from Kutenai people, where User:Kwamikagami moved it, with no regard to Canadian English norms and a stated disregard for indigenous preferences, that's underway that could use your input; Talk:Kutenai_people#Requested_move_2 and there's similar on Talk:Lillooet people, Talk:Chilcotin people, Talk:Shuswap people and Thompson people. That changing Skwxwu7mesh to Squamish people has resulted in the Category:Squamish (see the CfD there) is where all these will go unless this nonsense is put to a stop.

Hi Kootenayvolcano. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! -- Another Believer ( Talk) 16:06, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Kootenayvolcano,
I saw your name on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Discrimination#Participants listing.
There is a discussion at Template talk:Infobox person#Citizenship suggesting a change of emphasis to a Citizenship entry from the Nationality entry.
The idea is to give more facilitation to Patriotism instead of Nationalism and also to allow more freedom of expression in regards to terminologies used.
Contributions are welcomed.

Hi Kootenayvolcano. I don't think that we keep articles on elementary schools as a general rule, barring some special notability. Herostratus 02:31, 20 May 2007 (UTC) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:NewPages
hi, I reverted your edits. Although many of your minor edits are fine they are bundled with deleting content and refs which isn't fine and introducing new content which seems wonky (feminists authors). As a suggestion do the minor grammar fixes first as no one will be bothered on those. Then introduce new material, then look to deleting material. I'm sorry I reversed them all as you did some good work in there - I just couldn't separate it from the not so good edits. Benjiboi 13:29, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
I've removed the deletion tag from the article in order to give you an opportunity to make improvements that might (or might not) prevent it from being deleted. At present, I think it's a sure bet that the article will be nominated for the WP:AFD process (Articles for Deletion), which is a longer process than the "prod" tag previously applied, involving discussion & polling of other editors, but which still may lead to deletion. I've made suggestions at Talk:Lesbiphobia about some of the things you can do to improve the article. Also, please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by using four tildes <wiki> Yksin 16:40, 7 August 2007 (UTC)</nowiki> -- this automatically adds your username & the date/time of your post so that other users will know who/when a post was written, in case they want to respond to you.

Just so you know, Wikipedia's rule for North American radio stations is that they go at their call signs. The commonly known brand name can be a redirect, if it's unique (which it certainly is in this case), but we do have to keep the station at its CXXX-format call sign. The main motivation behind this is so that there's some consistency in how radio stations are presented — it would look really sloppy if we had a random and disorganized mixture of call signs and brand names coexisting in the same radio categories.

A tag has been placed on Combahee River Collective Statement requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

Hello! I've seen with interest some of your contributions to this topic, which you seem to know fairly closely.

Thanks for uploading Image:Onair.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC).

Hi; I see you have lots of Sinixt sources/resources; a missing element in Wikipedia's coverage of BC First Nations langauge is a language article; no linguist has started one yet (as is the case with most language articles) and all I could myself pull off is a stub saying hte language exists, but it won't survive unless it has a cite or two. This in the wake of an edit to Incomappleux River where Okanagan language was taken out by an IP user who subtituted Interior Salish as "correct" - which it's not as Interior Salish is a language group, not a language. The BCGNIS source says Incommapleux is of Okanagan origin; if you have a different cite saying it's Sinixt then by all means....why I came to you, other than your very evident focus on the Sinixt article, is the IP user who made that "correction" also made an edit to your talkpage (the section titled "Article").

Hi, wanted to get your opinion on the East Kootenay/West Kootenay division point; the Kootenays article has two possible versions, I can see the logic of the one that says Creston is in the East Kootenay, because of the time zone thing and also because it never used to be road-linked to Nelson/Trail/Castlegar except by the Balfour ferry....it seems odd to view Riondel as in the East Kootenay, though, as I associate that term with Kimberly-Cranbrook and beyond, maybe starting at Yahk (if not at Creston). You seem to be much more a Kootenay person than I am so I thought I'd ask.....reason being I I just went and created Category:Settlements in the West Kootenay and Category:Settlements in the Slocan and Category:Settlements in the Boundary Country and wanted to start Category:Settlements in the East Kootenay with Elk Valley and Columbia Valley subcats maybe.....I've never liked using the regional district cats to classify anything, especially ghost towns, Indian Reserves and basically anything that's not directly part of RD jurisdiction/governance, so I do "end runs" on those cats with things like Category:Settlements in the Chilcotin etc...anyway your thoughts on this appreciated; the term "Central Kootenay" just grates on me because it's of such recent coinage, and it's almost like the government made it to "usurp the identity" of the West Kootenay, with all its cultural and political baggage/history....

Hi; tossed your name out in a discussion re the huge overlap between these two articles; see here; User:Shannon1 has been busy on the river article as you'll see.... Also on my mind for a while, other than an East/West split (and how you would define that division), is I've never liked that map on the Kootenays page, your thoughts on the boundaries shown welcome (best reply on that article's talkpage), and on how to approach a Silvery Slocan article on the silver rush....it's almost like there should be a Kootenay workgroup, but the same could be said about the Omineca or Cariboo or Skeena or VI huh?

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks for the kind words. As I also mentioned just now to SeMelmoth, I'd be very happy to set up a workgroup page for LGBT issues in Canada. Although I know I'm not the only Canadian editor with an interest in LGBT topics, a little too often it's felt like I was because there's not much active coordination going on, with the result that a lot of stuff we really should have has fallen through the cracks. The workgroup wouldn't be a full WikiProject in its own right, but just a subpage of Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada and Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies, where we could do things like keeping a list of article topics that people might want to tackle creating or cleaning up, compiling a list of resources that can be used, and other discussion that might be warranted. So I'll try to set that up in the next few days, and once it's up and running feel free to consult and or contribute to it as much or as little as you want :-) Bearcat ( talk) 18:52, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi; figured I should let you know I've created a few articles for places in the Kootenays as part of working up/filling out List of communities in British Columbia. Among them, so far, are Erickson, British Columbia, Lemon Creek, British Columbia and Appledale, British Columbia. There's a {{ WikiProject Okanagan}} now, kinda wondering if there's enough people to make a Wikipedia:WikiProject Kootenays worthwhile. Skookum1 ( talk) 07:22, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
On the same general topic of "coverage of the Kootenays", this has been a redlink on {{ Steamboats British Columbia}} for a while, I did some research on this with the author of Steamboats of the Upper Fraser River and have been meaning for a while, if not for all the crossfire on inanities and endless maintenance edits and CfDs and such, to get at Steamboats of Harrison Lake and the Lower Fraser River and Steamboats of Kamloops Lake and Shuswap Lake (or Steamboats of the Thompson River and Shuswap Lake maybe) but just haven't had time. The Kootenay/Kootenai title as presented was the result of long discussions about how to cover those routes; editors from WP:WikiProject Idaho and WP:WikiProject Montana may be around to help on the Kootenai River material.

Just after you added the Sinixt version of the name of Nakusp there came a change obliterating mention of the Ktunaxa version and of the territorial claims of the Ktunaxa and Secwepemc. I fixed that just now but it's clear that User:Sinkalip has an agenda; another change was on the Rock Creek or Rock Creek Gold Rush page where "Kettle Indians" were changed to "Sinixt Indians" and on other articles where mention of the Okanagan people was also removed. I suspect you may be more diplomatic dealing with Sinixt activism than I am, and may be able to deal with User:Sinkalip's activities in less strong language than I might use; obliterating someone else's history to assert your own is not acceptable in Wikipedia. There's a history for me with "them", via an old argument on The Tyee (which actually brought threats of violence to my email if I "didn't leave the Sinixt alone".

[undent] Language articles have their own set formats and such; WP:WikiProject Languages prob has templates. Within NorthAmNative a number of years ago, some parameters were set out for coverage; different articles for governments and organizations, people/ethno/history material, reserves/reservations, and languages all have separate articles and should ultimately in every case have separate articles; soemtimes seems redundant and difficult to sort out in other parts of Canada for various reasons, but "out here" (including the PacNW portion of the US, most of that's now in place. With the Sinixt of course there's no government article to be made, though there is one for their council or whatever it's called. There was a reserve mentioned in one of the cites I read last night, maybe Dawson, not sure, about a reserve on South Arrow Lake (1902) that now no longer exists; what's described and Sinkalip will probably dispute is that it was about half-Sinixt, half-Shuswap.....another of those anthro sources, maybe Boas, says that the Sinixt originated from intermarriage between the Shuswap and Ktunaxa, but that wouldn't be the first time Boas is in error. Teit's supplementary work probably says different. Skookum1 ( talk) 03:30, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
It's cites like these that make me wary of relying only on social science 'conclusions'; I realize that makes no difference in WP:RS but think about it....does this author have actual case data to back up that claim? Any surveys? And kinda sweeping and negative as an assumption huh? Whatever, it's just stuff like this comment that's quoted that makes me turn up my nose at "the New History"; no scientific data, just moralizing based on what amounts to hearsay. Skookum1 ( talk) 17:08, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
By the way- if you were uncomfortable with using the Pearkes quote in particular I'd be willing to take it out of the article. I live in the region, and happen to agree with her, based on my personal experience, but that doesn't mean it's objectively true. Please let me know. Kootenayvolcano ( talk) 18:06, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
I know I can, and it's nowhere near as hard as Nlaka'pamux that's for sure......there's a Requested Move back to Ktunaxa from Kutenai people, where User:Kwamikagami moved it, with no regard to Canadian English norms and a stated disregard for indigenous preferences, that's underway that could use your input; Talk:Kutenai_people#Requested_move_2 and there's similar on Talk:Lillooet people, Talk:Chilcotin people, Talk:Shuswap people and Thompson people. That changing Skwxwu7mesh to Squamish people has resulted in the Category:Squamish (see the CfD there) is where all these will go unless this nonsense is put to a stop.

Hi Kootenayvolcano. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! -- Another Believer ( Talk) 16:06, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Kootenayvolcano,
I saw your name on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Discrimination#Participants listing.
There is a discussion at Template talk:Infobox person#Citizenship suggesting a change of emphasis to a Citizenship entry from the Nationality entry.
The idea is to give more facilitation to Patriotism instead of Nationalism and also to allow more freedom of expression in regards to terminologies used.
Contributions are welcomed.
