Your idea sounds good; I figured it probably wasn't shell-tempered, or I would have linked the Mississippian pottery article. I know nothing about the production of pottery, or I'd be willing to help write an article about it.
Meanwhile, you should be getting your Fulton County KY photos after all. I have more time this week than any other, so I'm hoping to leave early Thursday and get back late Saturday; the extra day means that I'll have time to go farther south, so I'm looking to get some photos around Blytheville, Arkansas and travel northward along the eastern side of the Mississippi. Of course those three days are the only non-warm days according to this (but I have things scheduled at the start of each week, and I can't wait for the end of next week), but at least I won't have as many problems with inconvenient shadows. No time to go all the way down to Nodena, but Eaker is on my list (the air force base is now a municipal park), and I'm hoping to get Turk, Marshall, Twin Mounds, and Adams that day, and it's my goal to pick up Rowlandton when I go through Paducah on Saturday.

On 9 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Mound 72, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Mound 72 (pictured) at Cahokia in pre-Columbian western Illinois was the site of ritual human sacrifice, including a pit burial containing 53 young women? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mound 72. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hey, just with regards to the saucier article. Saucier is a position in a kitchen. It's the person with overall responsibility for sauce preparation. A saucière is a vessel used to hold and pour sauce at the table. Similar spelling, but completely different things. As saucière has its own article, I can't see any reason for including information on it in the saucier article, aside from the mention in the disambig at the top. 46.7.236.155 ( talk) 22:13, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

I just received your message regarding citing personal interviews. The policy you cite makes perfect sense. Considering wikipedia's 5th pillar regarding "Wikipedia does not have firm rules," and considering that I don't want to teach my young charges to lie, can you help me find a way to bridge the gap between what the students did and what wikipedia allows? Is there some way to cite an oral history? Someway to acknowledge a local expert?
I understand this is not the only thing for you to concern yourself with, I just want to be forthright with the students when I speak to them. I also want to reinforce citing sources. Please, any help would be appreciated.

Hello there,
We have been in touch years ago, so I am not sure if you recall me.
Anyway, I have a question for you as an expert. Do you think what is seen on the last photos in this category ( Wikimedia - Mound City, AR) is an Indian mound? I have searched a bit but could not find anything on this specific location. Indians were abundant in this area not far from the Mississippi River but do you have detail information about Mound City?
I know that Mound City was named for the Indian mounds but nowadays after decades of farming, they may all be destroyed after having been farmed over.
The photos were taken in Mound City, near West Memphis, Arkansas.

The original research tag was not the tag I meant to add. It should have been the NPOV tag. The section is almost all a reiteration of this McGeough guy's veiw, and 3⁄5 of the sections refs are in the last line.
Please don't accuse of "Drive by tagging", though. It's annoying enough to make a mistake, I don't want to be called names too.-- 75 * 17:13, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello Heironymous,
As a Native American, I thank you for your Native American contributions to Wikipedia.
I posted this on Tbhotch's page, but just now realized that I should also reach out to you as well, since obviously the Olmec is very important to you too.
I just want to add the photo I took at the Tuxteco Regional Museum Santiago Tuxtla, Veracruz to the Olmec site. It is published on the commons and free for anyone to see. How do we get the image up there following all of your rules?
Here is a version of the photo I took without the text - if the text was bothering you:
If you can add it to the Olmec page for me - following all your rules, I would appreciate it. That would certainly be better than battling with you forever - since you obviously spend quite a lot of your time on Wikipedia.

Sorry all, I'm new to this. I promise I'm not a spammer.
The Holocene calendar is a non judaeo christian dating system that makes it easier to relate current times with ancient times. It's not meant to replace already standard dating systems but helps people relate better. You can read all about it on it's wikipedia page.
The best example of the benefits can be seen on the Mastodon page.
It says that the Mastodon was killed out about 10,500 years ago and that people entered the americas about 13,000 years ago. On it's own this info tells us how long ago these things happened. But if we also include the Holocene Calendar date you will see that the mastodon was killed out only 1500 years after the first humans built the first settlements. And that people got to America a short 980 years after.
This not only ties those events together and to us in the year 12,018 but also ties the events to our very beginnings.
Another example is that people started building the pyramids 7,300 years after the first settlements. also they were constructed from the 3rd century BC to the 9th century AD. It's hard to do the math on that because the 3rd century BC was in -800 and the ninth century was in 1000. But if we add the holocene calendar it looks like this: 9,800-10,800 HE.
All this historical clarity just by adding an additional date for those who care to use it. I get really excited thinking about it.

Not worried about it. But in future, when you insert something like this: "heavily slandered the farmer Olof Ohman, who had originally found the stone on his property. He went so far as to befriend Olof Ohman's daughter Amanda after Ohman's death, under false pretenses, only to find more evidence to indite the farmer. Even though neither Holvik, nor anyone else ever found any wrongdoing by Ohman, the family was subject to heavy slander for decades. As a result, Ohman's daughter Amanda took her own life in 1949" [8], I suggest you have a very, very good source. He iro 19:34, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

I think you were quite confused. Your recent self-revert does not touch the "See also" section. I initially put New World into the "See also" section and you subsequently removed it citing "unnecessary" in the edit summary. I then added it to the lede (trying to provide a better context than just an unspecified link in "See also"; perhaps your confusion came about as I also cleaned up some whitespace elsewhere in the article in the same edit) and you reverted it but subsequently reverted yourself (so it effectively is the same as when I last edited it, leaving New World in the lede and not in "See also").
I believe New World is a link relevant to the article (since it refers to the Americas and the term was actually coined by Amerigo Vespucci) but I feel it was better in "See also" than the lede, however, apparently you were against that so I tried to adding it another way providing more information on why it is relevant (so it wasn't curtly removed like you did). If the article was not about naming, I might agree that New World was not highly relevant (e.g., I would not recommend Indigenous peoples of the Americas be renamed towards using "New World" unless that name becomes considerably more used and notable in the future) but it is about naming and considerably more obscure naming is also mentioned in the article.
I hope this explanation helps. Uzume ( talk) 21:06, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Also as a student, I submit that not all my changes will always be perfect. In the event that you have a comment, concern, or edit that can help improve the information please do so.
To remove all changes indiscriminately is a negation of the good elements that are being contributed.

Hey I made a small change to the Mound Builders article which you undid. I changed "Some Mormon writers have considered the Book of Mormon narrative a description of the mound-building cultures;[38] other Mormon apologists argue for a Mesoamerican or South American setting." to "Some Mormon writers have considered the Book of Mormon narrative a description of the mound-building cultures;[38] others argue for a Mesoamerican or South American setting."
As this article never discusses what a "Mormon apologist" is and doesn't link to a page defining what one is, I think it is better to exclude the term entirely. Additionally, the sentence begins by talking about "Mormon writers" and goes on to talk about "Mormon apologists" without any additional information. Are all Mormon writers apologists? Or are they a separate group? If they are a separate group the sentence should be changed to express the idea that two separate forms of Mormon writers are commenting on the subject, one of which can be called apologists. If you think all Mormon writers are apologists the sentence would better read as: "Some Mormon apologists have considered the Book of Mormon narrative a description of the mound-building cultures;[38] others argue for a Mesoamerican or South American setting." However, I think that labeling the Mormon writers who comment on this subject as apologists goes beyond the scope of this article and is an expression of bias that is unnecessary.

I don't know when Wikipedia revised their stance on BCE-CE dating versus that of the traditional BC-AD dating, but the modern dating format (BCE-CE) used to be unacceptable in an earlier phase of Wikipedia's evolution.

There is a Story Mound in Chillicothe, OH and this article somehow got mixed up with a mound of construction dirt in Sayler Park. I tried to make an edit to the article with a reference from a reliable source and also based on a personal visit on 10/21/2020, but apparently that is not the correct procedure. I was told: " doing shit like that is indistinguishable from garden variety vandalism by bored 12 years old in their moms basement. " Here is the info and contact from the president of the Sayler Park Historical Society.
The mound Wikipedia is referring to is the dirt pile that formed when they dug up the area that became the new gymnasium at Sayler Park school. We have asked Wikipedia to remove the information since it is not factual for years but they refuse. Thank you for asking.
Jackie Apted President Sayler Park Historical Society racinrev44@aol.com
If the information from a college professor and the President of the local historical society is not a "verifiable source, a good academic one", then try using Google Maps and see the visual evidence that the only mound in the area is a pitchers mound.

In the "Mississippian Culture" article, I've tried a couple times to edit it to something other than "civilization" (the first time to culture, but since this seemed redundant I then changed it to society). This simply seems to be the right approach—as I said on the talk page of the article, far more reliable sources (as well as any other sources) call it a culture or society than a civilization. Its status as a civilization is, at best, carrying some doubt. What is not debated is that it is a culture/group of cultures. Society does carry some meaning beyond culture with it that some may also debate. This has no relation to what my view of it is. It is simply that it is better to go with what most almost all academic sources agree with rather than what a somewhat sizeable minority use. Beyond that, it is simply because of the nature of a civilization itself that Wikipedia as a whole is weary to use it unless it is almost unanimously called that, i.e. with Egyptian, Qin, Maya, etc. Historical Cartograph ( talk) 16:30, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
1. I trace my family back to 1620 in the Maritimes. 2. My family arrived in Louisiana in 1765. 3. My mother was 100% Acadian. 4. I am 50% Acadian. 5. I am sick and ggd-dsmned tired of people who seem to think that Coonass, Cajun or Cadjin are not offensive or derogatory.
Wikipedia is adding to the problem ... and certainly NOT doing anything to mitigate the usage of these offensive words (especially "Cajun").
Your feeble-minded "Heironymous Rowe," speaking out of his @nus, says that it's not offensive because it's used in Southern Louisiana. I suppose he says the same thing about offensive and derogatory words he likely uses to label other populations.

Hello, I noticed you removed links at two articles ( Sámi people and Loftur Þorsteinsson) with the comment "Not an WP:RS". Looking at the specific links neither seems to trigger any RS concerns. It's not self-published, there's an editorial board, there's a print version. It's a pop archaeology magazine that ranges into fringe theories at times (although that doesn't seem to be the case on the two links removed), but that needn't automatically mark it as non-RS. It's also not flagged at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. The removed links weren't the sole sources for the statements, so it's likely not a big deal; I'm just trying to understand the bar you're setting. Has there been discussion about it as a source on other articles? Thanks. — Carter (Tcr25) ( talk) 11:26, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
I see you have undone all of the edits I made to the article on Clan Pollock International. I would like to resolve this so we can get a better product posted. Just so I understand your role in this, may I ask if you have any particular interest in Clan Pollock itself, or are you a Wikipedia editor overseeing articles and edits when they are entered to ensure that they meet quality standards? Also - I don’t see any objection to the text of the edits that I made, just to the citations I added. May I conclude that we only need to discuss the citations? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JFPo42 ( talk • contribs) 07:06, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments. I fully appreciate the importance of reliable sources. In this case there truly are no alternative or more reliable sources that can be cited for the particular statements made in the article. First - with respect to FTDNA - I understand that they may not be regarded as a reliable source but the cited URL does not link to FTDNA. It links to the Polk-Pollock-Pogue DNA Project webpage, which is hosted at FTDNA, but is not maintained by FTDNA. It is maintained by the project. I happen to be the Project Administrator. It is the only place where the project's DNA testing results are reported, so it is the only place where the assertions made in the statement can be verified. (I didn't write that statement. I just added the source.) Second - with respect to the medieval Scottish charters that I cited - these are the primary source documents by which the existence of the cited individuals in 12th century Scotland is established. I can add the following URL where the actual text of these charters (in their original Latin) is transcribed if that will help - https://archive.org/details/registrummonaste00mait/page/n5/mode/2up Will that suffice? Here again I have just added sources that the original text of the article did not include. JFPo42 — Preceding unsigned comment added by JFPo42 ( talk • contribs) 18:00, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your opinion. I understand the concern with reliable sources. Very important but a little judgment might be appropriate in this case. A statement was made in the existing article about results of DNA testing on Pollok family members. No reference source for this statement was provided in the article. I added a URL directing readers to the website where such information is posted and from which it must have been obtained. Surely this would be in the best interests of WP readers of the article. The other citations were to specific Scottish ecclesiastical charters where the individuals cited in the WP article are very specifically mentioned, by name. These charters are probably the most basic and frequently cited sources in scholarly journals concerned with medieval Scotland. I did not include a citation referencing the work where these charters have been fully transcribed for scholarly reference, but can add that. I also added a citation from a scholarly journal of an article by G. W. Steuart Barrow, a pre-eminent authority on medieval Scotland. (See WP article on him.) This has also been rejected by the undo of my edit although it is highly relevant. Can this be restored? JFPo42 ( talk) 01:49, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
OK - I deleted the sentence drawing conclusions about DNA testing and replaced it with a factual statement and added an external link (although it looks like a footnote). I would like to improve the entire write up of Clan Pollock but don't know how to do it in a piecemeal way. It has a number of errors and statements that are not quite wrong but poorly stated, and could certainly be expanded. I don't know how to go about this other than scrapping the present text and starting over. I don't want to offend all the previous contributors but it really needs to be redone. Just so you know, I have been the Clan Historian for Clan Pollock for over 20 years and contribute a historian's article to the clan magazine 4 times a year; also have a PhD, so I bring some expertise to this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JFPo42 ( talk • contribs) 03:52, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Your idea sounds good; I figured it probably wasn't shell-tempered, or I would have linked the Mississippian pottery article. I know nothing about the production of pottery, or I'd be willing to help write an article about it.
Meanwhile, you should be getting your Fulton County KY photos after all. I have more time this week than any other, so I'm hoping to leave early Thursday and get back late Saturday; the extra day means that I'll have time to go farther south, so I'm looking to get some photos around Blytheville, Arkansas and travel northward along the eastern side of the Mississippi. Of course those three days are the only non-warm days according to this (but I have things scheduled at the start of each week, and I can't wait for the end of next week), but at least I won't have as many problems with inconvenient shadows. No time to go all the way down to Nodena, but Eaker is on my list (the air force base is now a municipal park), and I'm hoping to get Turk, Marshall, Twin Mounds, and Adams that day, and it's my goal to pick up Rowlandton when I go through Paducah on Saturday.

Hello there,
We have been in touch years ago, so I am not sure if you recall me.
Anyway, I have a question for you as an expert. Do you think what is seen on the last photos in this category ( Wikimedia - Mound City, AR) is an Indian mound? I have searched a bit but could not find anything on this specific location. Indians were abundant in this area not far from the Mississippi River but do you have detail information about Mound City?
I know that Mound City was named for the Indian mounds but nowadays after decades of farming, they may all be destroyed after having been farmed over.
The photos were taken in Mound City, near West Memphis, Arkansas.

Sorry all, I'm new to this. I promise I'm not a spammer.
The Holocene calendar is a non judaeo christian dating system that makes it easier to relate current times with ancient times. It's not meant to replace already standard dating systems but helps people relate better. You can read all about it on it's wikipedia page.
The best example of the benefits can be seen on the Mastodon page.
It says that the Mastodon was killed out about 10,500 years ago and that people entered the americas about 13,000 years ago. On it's own this info tells us how long ago these things happened. But if we also include the Holocene Calendar date you will see that the mastodon was killed out only 1500 years after the first humans built the first settlements. And that people got to America a short 980 years after.
This not only ties those events together and to us in the year 12,018 but also ties the events to our very beginnings.
Another example is that people started building the pyramids 7,300 years after the first settlements. also they were constructed from the 3rd century BC to the 9th century AD. It's hard to do the math on that because the 3rd century BC was in -800 and the ninth century was in 1000. But if we add the holocene calendar it looks like this: 9,800-10,800 HE.
All this historical clarity just by adding an additional date for those who care to use it. I get really excited thinking about it.

Yes there is no Grand Society of the Mound Builders. But these civilizations/cultures are similar in region and history. If they shared nothing no archaeologist or historian would have coined the term "mound builder". Mangokeylime ( talk) 02:47, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
On 18 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cahokia Woodhenge, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Cahokia Woodhenge (pictured), built by the Native American Mississippian culture between 900 and 1100 CE, was a timber circle solar calendar used to observe solstices and equinoxes? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cahokia Woodhenge. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Cahokia Woodhenge), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hey Mr. Rowe. It sad but true I have a love of infoboxes :)

Not worried about it. But in future, when you insert something like this: "heavily slandered the farmer Olof Ohman, who had originally found the stone on his property. He went so far as to befriend Olof Ohman's daughter Amanda after Ohman's death, under false pretenses, only to find more evidence to indite the farmer. Even though neither Holvik, nor anyone else ever found any wrongdoing by Ohman, the family was subject to heavy slander for decades. As a result, Ohman's daughter Amanda took her own life in 1949" [8], I suggest you have a very, very good source. He iro 19:34, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

I think you were quite confused. Your recent self-revert does not touch the "See also" section. I initially put New World into the "See also" section and you subsequently removed it citing "unnecessary" in the edit summary. I then added it to the lede (trying to provide a better context than just an unspecified link in "See also"; perhaps your confusion came about as I also cleaned up some whitespace elsewhere in the article in the same edit) and you reverted it but subsequently reverted yourself (so it effectively is the same as when I last edited it, leaving New World in the lede and not in "See also").
I believe New World is a link relevant to the article (since it refers to the Americas and the term was actually coined by Amerigo Vespucci) but I feel it was better in "See also" than the lede, however, apparently you were against that so I tried to adding it another way providing more information on why it is relevant (so it wasn't curtly removed like you did). If the article was not about naming, I might agree that New World was not highly relevant (e.g., I would not recommend Indigenous peoples of the Americas be renamed towards using "New World" unless that name becomes considerably more used and notable in the future) but it is about naming and considerably more obscure naming is also mentioned in the article.
I hope this explanation helps. Uzume ( talk) 21:06, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Hey I made a small change to the Mound Builders article which you undid. I changed "Some Mormon writers have considered the Book of Mormon narrative a description of the mound-building cultures;[38] other Mormon apologists argue for a Mesoamerican or South American setting." to "Some Mormon writers have considered the Book of Mormon narrative a description of the mound-building cultures;[38] others argue for a Mesoamerican or South American setting."
As this article never discusses what a "Mormon apologist" is and doesn't link to a page defining what one is, I think it is better to exclude the term entirely. Additionally, the sentence begins by talking about "Mormon writers" and goes on to talk about "Mormon apologists" without any additional information. Are all Mormon writers apologists? Or are they a separate group? If they are a separate group the sentence should be changed to express the idea that two separate forms of Mormon writers are commenting on the subject, one of which can be called apologists. If you think all Mormon writers are apologists the sentence would better read as: "Some Mormon apologists have considered the Book of Mormon narrative a description of the mound-building cultures;[38] others argue for a Mesoamerican or South American setting." However, I think that labeling the Mormon writers who comment on this subject as apologists goes beyond the scope of this article and is an expression of bias that is unnecessary.
I think the sentence is objectively better with the edit but I realize you have a long history with this article so I wanted to ask why you suggest it should be left as is. 2605:A601:A996:5000:8025:40DF:88C3:2305 ( talk) 00:35, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

There is a Story Mound in Chillicothe, OH and this article somehow got mixed up with a mound of construction dirt in Sayler Park. I tried to make an edit to the article with a reference from a reliable source and also based on a personal visit on 10/21/2020, but apparently that is not the correct procedure. I was told: " doing shit like that is indistinguishable from garden variety vandalism by bored 12 years old in their moms basement. " Here is the info and contact from the president of the Sayler Park Historical Society.
The mound Wikipedia is referring to is the dirt pile that formed when they dug up the area that became the new gymnasium at Sayler Park school. We have asked Wikipedia to remove the information since it is not factual for years but they refuse. Thank you for asking.

In the "Mississippian Culture" article, I've tried a couple times to edit it to something other than "civilization" (the first time to culture, but since this seemed redundant I then changed it to society). This simply seems to be the right approach—as I said on the talk page of the article, far more reliable sources (as well as any other sources) call it a culture or society than a civilization. Its status as a civilization is, at best, carrying some doubt. What is not debated is that it is a culture/group of cultures. Society does carry some meaning beyond culture with it that some may also debate. This has no relation to what my view of it is. It is simply that it is better to go with what most almost all academic sources agree with rather than what a somewhat sizeable minority use. Beyond that, it is simply because of the nature of a civilization itself that Wikipedia as a whole is weary to use it unless it is almost unanimously called that, i.e. with Egyptian, Qin, Maya, etc. Historical Cartograph ( talk) 16:30, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
1. I trace my family back to 1620 in the Maritimes. 2. My family arrived in Louisiana in 1765. 3. My mother was 100% Acadian. 4. I am 50% Acadian. 5. I am sick and ggd-dsmned tired of people who seem to think that Coonass, Cajun or Cadjin are not offensive or derogatory.
Wikipedia is adding to the problem ... and certainly NOT doing anything to mitigate the usage of these offensive words (especially "Cajun").
Your feeble-minded "Heironymous Rowe," speaking out of his @nus, says that it's not offensive because it's used in Southern Louisiana. I suppose he says the same thing about offensive and derogatory words he likely uses to label other populations.

Hello, I noticed you removed links at two articles ( Sámi people and Loftur Þorsteinsson) with the comment "Not an WP:RS". Looking at the specific links neither seems to trigger any RS concerns. It's not self-published, there's an editorial board, there's a print version. It's a pop archaeology magazine that ranges into fringe theories at times (although that doesn't seem to be the case on the two links removed), but that needn't automatically mark it as non-RS. It's also not flagged at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. The removed links weren't the sole sources for the statements, so it's likely not a big deal; I'm just trying to understand the bar you're setting. Has there been discussion about it as a source on other articles? Thanks. — Carter (Tcr25) ( talk) 11:26, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments. I fully appreciate the importance of reliable sources. In this case there truly are no alternative or more reliable sources that can be cited for the particular statements made in the article. First - with respect to FTDNA - I understand that they may not be regarded as a reliable source but the cited URL does not link to FTDNA. It links to the Polk-Pollock-Pogue DNA Project webpage, which is hosted at FTDNA, but is not maintained by FTDNA. It is maintained by the project. I happen to be the Project Administrator. It is the only place where the project's DNA testing results are reported, so it is the only place where the assertions made in the statement can be verified. (I didn't write that statement. I just added the source.) Second - with respect to the medieval Scottish charters that I cited - these are the primary source documents by which the existence of the cited individuals in 12th century Scotland is established. I can add the following URL where the actual text of these charters (in their original Latin) is transcribed if that will help - https://archive.org/details/registrummonaste00mait/page/n5/mode/2up Will that suffice? Here again I have just added sources that the original text of the article did not include. JFPo42 — Preceding unsigned comment added by JFPo42 ( talk • contribs) 18:00, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your opinion. I understand the concern with reliable sources. Very important but a little judgment might be appropriate in this case. A statement was made in the existing article about results of DNA testing on Pollok family members. No reference source for this statement was provided in the article. I added a URL directing readers to the website where such information is posted and from which it must have been obtained. Surely this would be in the best interests of WP readers of the article. The other citations were to specific Scottish ecclesiastical charters where the individuals cited in the WP article are very specifically mentioned, by name. These charters are probably the most basic and frequently cited sources in scholarly journals concerned with medieval Scotland. I did not include a citation referencing the work where these charters have been fully transcribed for scholarly reference, but can add that. I also added a citation from a scholarly journal of an article by G. W. Steuart Barrow, a pre-eminent authority on medieval Scotland. (See WP article on him.) This has also been rejected by the undo of my edit although it is highly relevant. Can this be restored? JFPo42 ( talk) 01:49, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
OK - I deleted the sentence drawing conclusions about DNA testing and replaced it with a factual statement and added an external link (although it looks like a footnote). I would like to improve the entire write up of Clan Pollock but don't know how to do it in a piecemeal way. It has a number of errors and statements that are not quite wrong but poorly stated, and could certainly be expanded. I don't know how to go about this other than scrapping the present text and starting over. I don't want to offend all the previous contributors but it really needs to be redone. Just so you know, I have been the Clan Historian for Clan Pollock for over 20 years and contribute a historian's article to the clan magazine 4 times a year; also have a PhD, so I bring some expertise to this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JFPo42 ( talk • contribs) 03:52, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your edit summary re Sp. Luisiana; at least a reason is provided. I have added a few other edits after that: these are obvious errors that must be corrected. 173.77.71.234 ( talk) 18:58, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

The Native American Barnstar is given to the users who contribute cited and balanced content toward articles regarding the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Thank you for your contributions! GenQuest "scribble" 04:39, 27 March 2023 (UTC) |
You've coordinated with me several times on this article, and your critique is greatly appreciated. I'm a dilettante, but a diligent one. You're an expert. I actually have significant knowledge of early colonial times, with gaps. I make plenty of mistakes. If you have something you want to contribute, and prefer to ghost write it, sketch it out in the talk page, and I'll fill it in from my sources and integrate it into the text. All articles, this one too, need improvement. I'm working on it. Regards Sbalfour ( talk) 03:31, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
