The IP's bizarre behavior and insistence/request to block certain editors from certain pages, as the recent named user was only blocked from those exact pages, and the IP only being able to edit the talk pages, seems a clear indication that the IP was evading that account's partial block. Increasing the block parameters on the named user should take care of it. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 20:53, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Do you think wee need a semiprotect at Cheraw? That's 3 different IPs in the same range making the identical edit over the last 4-5 days. Leaving messages and warnings at their talks and in edit summaries is obviously doing no good, as so far no response or change in behavior. He iro 04:53, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
Of course, there are solutions. For instance, I just purchased Recognition, Sovereignty Struggles, and Indigenous Rights in the United States: A Sourcebook. And with the Sappony article, the problem was not that I lacked a published academic source, it's that the SPA was trying to delete the book they didn't agree with. But I am troubled by your suggestion that materials by the US federal and state governments are compromised. WP:Independent is mainly concerned about sources writing about themselves for promotional purposes. While secondary sources are typically preferable to primary and tertiary sources, primary sources can be used in certain situations. For instance the Federal Register is cited throughout Wikipedia and is the main source of List of federally recognized tribes in the United States (which needs one more edit).

There's such a wide array of government documents, that some of them would be wp:self-published, say if the EPA sent out a press release about the success of a clean-up effort. But the Federal Register is a published, periodical. But if a problem ever arises, I'll deal with it then. 15:12, 15 February 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown

Hi Yuchitown. Thanks for your improvements to Melungeon. I don't see any reliable source for religions of Baptist and Pentecostal. The only reference to Baptist is a reference to a woman in a Baptist church being offended at being called a Melungeon, which doesn't seem to confirm Baptist religion among Melungeons. Pentecostal isn't discussed at all. I know many people in that region are Baptists and Pentecostals, but at this point I don't think we have any information about Melungeons and religion. I would guess that their ancestors had a variety of religious affiliations. Some may have had no religious affiliation. Perhaps you are seeking reliable sources, but should we place a "citation needed" tag for religion? Thanks. Sundayclose ( talk) 14:56, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
If you haven't already, take a look at WP:WARN. Numerous warning templates are described. Although the templates for unsourced additions or introducing factual errors do not specifially mention misprepresenting sources, an edit is not properly sourced if the edit is not fully confirmed by the cited source.

I was finally able to write Beverly Horse, who has been on my radar for a long time. It took figuring out her maiden name, Johnson, to dig out enough sources. Unfortunately I don't have access to many sources in Lawton/Andadarko, but enough to establish her notability, I think. Perhaps someone down there can find more.
I also finished Dorothy Davids. I am toying with nominating it for GA and would appreciate any guidance you might have before I nominate it. Thank you for always having I collaborative spirit. I appreciate your help. If you don't have time, no worries. SusunW ( talk) 17:38, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
I was amazed she did not already have an article, but it is done. I'd appreciate you looking it over. That said, I think there is a problem with linking her. I would like to link her to her father Miguel and brother Michael, but the article we have for her father Michael Trujillo seems to have used the brother's name. I am 100% sure dad wasn't Michael. He appears on the Pueblo of Isleta census as Miguel and then there are all of these: [1], [2], [3],( pt 1 and pt 2), ( pt1, pt2). The brother, Michael also has a ton of sources [4], [5], [6] ( pt 1, [7], pt 2, pt 3), just as an example. Not exactly sure if the current article should just be moved to Miguel and a new article for Michael written or if the current article should be rewritten containing the information on Michael and Miguel's article created. I am happy to provide sources, but I'd rather move on to a woman. Your thoughts? SusunW ( talk) 18:04, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
I hope I am not overburdening you. This one was crazy confusing. Not only did her last name change (3 times) but her first name changed as well. I was not able to find either she or her siblings on the Santee, Sisseton, or Yankton rolls. The Native American Indian Center of Central Ohio says she was enrolled as part of the Yankton tribe and while I concur that she was born there, that seems unusual. But, that said, her mother Cora's records clearly show that while she was enumerated on the census of the Sisseton Agency for the Lake Traverse Indian Reservation, she lived on and was enrolled as a Sisseton at the Yankton Reservation. Very confusing. Perhaps you could give it a glance and see if I handled it okay. SusunW ( talk) 20:32, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

I don't know why that really got to me this morning. I know the intention is in good faith but it just feels like another marginalization. Why people see Native American and immediately think there is anyway you could ever put all in a single "box" and do justice by it but not any other ethnic group, is beyond me.

Hello Yuchitown. I was given your name by SusunW when I asked her for the name of an editor with lived experience of Indigenous peoples of the North American continent. You see, I have drafted a page on Victoria Howard, a Chinook storyteller. I am anxious to get the tone of the page right. I wonder if you might look at it and tell me if I have made any mistakes in the way I have described things? I have used a capital I at the start of the word Indigenous for example, just as I might use a capital B at the start of the phrase Black people in the UK context. I might have got other things wrong. If you are too busy, I will quite understand and might then approach ARoseWolf who SusunW thought might have some ideas too?

Hi Yuchitown, hope all is well in your world. Thank you for your improvements to Pueblo, I will try to also do some work on it in the next few days. I did want to gently point out an error in the infobox stating there are 23 pueblos in New Mexico. There are 19 pueblos in New Mexico; the other tribes are Apache, and Navajo - not Puebloans. Netherzone ( talk) 16:36, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Yuchitown! Hope things are good with you. I saw your improvements to the Pueblo article, thanks for that, glad that the move proposal failed. ;-)
I'm wondering if it's necessary (or a good idea) to list all the feast days on the article, tho. Sometimes the dates move around from year to year, but what really concerns me is the possibility of a flood of tourists if the dates are in the encyclopedia. Not all tourists are respectful of boundaries and proper behavior, some are "yahoo types" that get rowdy and park all over the place and go into folks houses without being invited first (they think everyone's house is open), don't pack out their trash, grab or move around folding chairs that were actually intended for someone's grandma, etc. I guess I'm feeling a little nervous about including actual dates. Many of the dances that happen at some of these events are ceremonial, but not everyone gets that. If people are really interested after reading the article, they can call the respective Pueblo offices or the Pueblo Cultural Center to find out when feast days are.
Here's a thought, and I'm be happy to help or do the work...what if a small selection of these were described in prose instead of the full calendar?
Please let me know what you think when you find a moment. Best to you, Netherzone ( talk) 19:55, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Shalako is ceremonial and more private, but the pueblo feast days I posted were already on the Pueblo peoples page. I moved them but refined them based on a tourist website; will correct them further with IPCC's website (unless someone else wants too). This is all very public knowledge; I imagine tourists are more chill now than they've been in past decades. Yes, have attended several. Yuchitown ( talk) 20:42, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Yuchitown

There's a renaming discussion at Category:Mohave tribe. There's an editor asking when it is best to use "tribe" or "people" or "ethnic group" etc, particularly when referring to historical groups. Your input would be appreciated. For renaming categories that cannot be shortened, such as Category:Wichita tribe, could something like Category:Wichita (Indigenous people) work instead? In the case of categories like Category:Crow tribe where there's only one federally recognized tribe, couldn't they be merged to their name on the federal register? EG, Category:Crow Tribe or Category:Crow Tribe of Montana? Thank you. Bohemian Baltimore ( talk) 23:21, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

I feel it. This is terrible and could have been avoided. What a sad day, especially for IPNA but more specifically the Indigenous community and topics on WP. -- ARose Wolf 13:21, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

I don't know why that really got to me this morning. I know the intention is in good faith but it just feels like another marginalization. Why people see Native American and immediately think there is anyway you could ever put all in a single "box" and do justice by it but not any other ethnic group, is beyond me. I appreciate what you said. -- ARose Wolf 15:27, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello Yuchitown. I was given your name by SusunW when I asked her for the name of an editor with lived experience of Indigenous peoples of the North American continent. You see, I have drafted a page on Victoria Howard, a Chinook storyteller. I am anxious to get the tone of the page right. I wonder if you might look at it and tell me if I have made any mistakes in the way I have described things? I have used a capital I at the start of the word Indigenous for example, just as I might use a capital B at the start of the phrase Black people in the UK context. I might have got other things wrong. If you are too busy, I will quite understand and might then approach ARoseWolf who SusunW thought might have some ideas too?

Something seems to be quacking around here. There are four new editors pushing their POV, one with only 25 edits, one with only 16 edits, and two with only one edit each. Netherzone ( talk) 17:59, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
I would like to know how we can come to an agreement on the contents of my page. Peshewapope ( talk) 02:09, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Yuchitown, hope all is well in your world. Thank you for your improvements to Pueblo, I will try to also do some work on it in the next few days. I did want to gently point out an error in the infobox stating there are 23 pueblos in New Mexico. There are 19 pueblos in New Mexico; the other tribes are Apache, and Navajo - not Puebloans. Netherzone ( talk) 16:36, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
See [8] and their talk page. Wow. Doug Weller talk 12:00, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Yuchitown! Hope things are good with you. I saw your improvements to the Pueblo article, thanks for that, glad that the move proposal failed. ;-)
I'm wondering if it's necessary (or a good idea) to list all the feast days on the article, tho. Sometimes the dates move around from year to year, but what really concerns me is the possibility of a flood of tourists if the dates are in the encyclopedia. Not all tourists are respectful of boundaries and proper behavior, some are "yahoo types" that get rowdy and park all over the place and go into folks houses without being invited first (they think everyone's house is open), don't pack out their trash, grab or move around folding chairs that were actually intended for someone's grandma, etc. I guess I'm feeling a little nervous about including actual dates. Many of the dances that happen at some of these events are ceremonial, but not everyone gets that. If people are really interested after reading the article, they can call the respective Pueblo offices or the Pueblo Cultural Center to find out when feast days are.
Here's a thought, and I'm be happy to help or do the work...what if a small selection of these were described in prose instead of the full calendar?
Please let me know what you think when you find a moment. Best to you, Netherzone ( talk) 19:55, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Shalako is ceremonial and more private, but the pueblo feast days I posted were already on the Pueblo peoples page. I moved them but refined them based on a tourist website; will correct them further with IPCC's website (unless someone else wants too). This is all very public knowledge; I imagine tourists are more chill now than they've been in past decades. Yes, have attended several. Yuchitown ( talk) 20:42, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Yuchitown

There's a renaming discussion at Category:Mohave tribe. There's an editor asking when it is best to use "tribe" or "people" or "ethnic group" etc, particularly when referring to historical groups. Your input would be appreciated. For renaming categories that cannot be shortened, such as Category:Wichita tribe, could something like Category:Wichita (Indigenous people) work instead? In the case of categories like Category:Crow tribe where there's only one federally recognized tribe, couldn't they be merged to their name on the federal register? EG, Category:Crow Tribe or Category:Crow Tribe of Montana? Thank you. Bohemian Baltimore ( talk) 23:21, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
