List of American Indian NationsHi there. I caught your list in the New Pages queue this morning. I was sort of surprised to learn such a listing was not already on Wikipedia, but that does seem to be the case. Thanks for your efforts and do keep working on this — it is a huge topic but a very important list if you can power through and get it done. I have taken the liberty of changing the name to List of Native American peoples in the United States which is in closer conformity to our naming conventions (a: calling List articles "List of" and b: calling the various Native American tribal groupings "peoples" rather than "nations.") I wish you the best with this project, I reiterate that it's a potentially EXTREMELY valuable page for Wikipedia. best regards, —tim /// Carrite (talk) 14:35, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
A first barnstar!
Well, damn it, I'm sorry...I was starting to put up a set of redirects to your article and found an already-existing listing: Classification of indigenous peoples of the Americas. Your new start is what we call a "fork" of this and the second section needs to go away for sure. The alphabetical listing remains valuable and you should continue to work on that if you are able. Be sure to use the existing WP article as source material for the alphabetical listing since it has a ton of links to standing WP articles. Drop me a line if you have any questions, either on my talk page or by email at ShoeHutch@gmail.com. —tim /// Carrite (talk) 15:05, 29 August 2017 (UTC) Thank youOk, sorry I haven't been on in a while & thank you all for the input. I had checked for such a page beforehand and was having difficulty finding one. The main issue I wanted to do something like this was because a large amount of the native american pages are a bit confusing and difficult to follow. I will definitely try to keep my work going here. Mostly, I've just been editing state information involving native peoples and trying to get it all updated to the best of my ability. Thank you again. Bobbotronica (talk) 17:18, 10 September 2017 (UTC) Reliable sources needed

Ok, then. I'll leave it alone. Bobbotronica (talk) 14:23, 18 September 2017 (UTC) I feel like I ought to point out, though, that even if the information is incorrect, there's not currently a whole lot of well known information about this area from the 16th century & putting it out in the open may make it easier to tell what is or isn't correct. From the title, the guy apparently got it from other Archaeologists (it definitely reads like he did) & it made a lot of things that weren't making a whole lot of sense to me in the accepted-known history click, (Not necessarily concerning the Mascouten, but the Beaver Wars in general. Ironically, it also played into other information from the West Virginia pages, where actual archaeologists & historians have been compiling a ridiculous amount of information.) so I would be inclined to believe the article. As to the Illinois Confederacy remark, that actually came from their Wiki page, but nothing on there is cited. I had to try to wing it. Personally, there's still something bugging me on exactly how they play into the history of the era, but it's not something I'm particularly focusing on right now. I'm not going to tell you what to do with your article, especially if you think it's going to cause problems, but I wrote down what I trust is correct. Sorry to bother you.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons. You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing I can appreciate that, but it's definitely not done yet. It took me weeks to do that other one, so I hope people will bear in mind with me in the meantime. Bobbotronica (talk) 14:18, 28 September 2017 (UTC) September 2017 Thank you for your recent contributions, such as List of native american peoples of Canada & Greenland. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Hi! Also try to not copy/paste information from your previous article, List of American Indian Nations. Thanks! ɯɐɔ 💬 19:56, 27 September 2017 (UTC) WikiProject Canada 10,000 Challenge submissionsThe 10,000 Challenge of WikiProject Canada will soon be reaching its first-anniversary.

"See also" lists should point readers to wikipedia articles that are specific expansions on the topic at hand - otherwise you could have 10,000 "see also"s on virtually every article. That's why I and others have removed them. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 22:32, 21 November 2017 (UTC) ArbCom 2017 election voter message Hello, Bobbotronica.

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 09:50, 22 April 2018 (UTC) Questionable material you added to History of FloridaLast September you added over 6,000 bytes to History of Florida in one edit. I find that material to be highly questionable, and improperly sourced. Where did you get it from? Please provide full citations for Marquardt 2004 and McMahon and Marquardt. I have a copy of John Hann's Indians of Central and South Florida: 1513-1763, which I presume is what is cited as Hann 2003 in the material you added, and I can assure you it does not support that material. - Donald Albury 23:48, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
Do you understand that sources must directly support the text?We can't interpret, we can't build an argument using several sources not all of which are directly discussing the topic. Please see WP:NOR. Doug Weller talk 14:06, 17 June 2018 (UTC) Major difference between your edit and your sourceYesterday you made an edit[1] stating that "The United States, misinterpreting the situation, illegally crossed the border and declared war on the Seminole for "stealing American property" in the First Seminole War (1816-1819)." The source says "In the early 1800s, the Seminole were friends of other runaways—escaped African-American slaves. They hid the slaves and welcomed them into their families. General Andrew Jackson used the runaway slaves as an excuse to lead an army out of Georgia against the Seminole, starting the First Seminole War of 1817-18." That's very different, and in any case anything we say about the First Seminole War needs to match text in that article, we shouldn't have different reasons for the war in different articles. Doug Weller talk 14:13, 17 June 2018 (UTC) My Previous Edits & Resources (as of July 1, 2018)In lieu of the issues with my Florida edits, I am going to go ahead and, to the best of my recollection, detail any significant edits I have made, answer questions & give the resources used.

With the 3 above questions, I already answered Donald Albury on the History of Florida talk page. To Doug Weller: It took me a while to get exactly what you were having issue with, but I got it now. I come from a background, moreso, of creative writing, not researching or informative works. When I used the phrase "stealing American property," I was not straight-quoting anyone or thing. I was being mildly sarcastic and trying to get the reader into the mindset of the attacking American soldiers. I apologize. It really didn't occur to me that there would be that kind of problem from a potential reader. Anyway, it has been taken down and I'm sure you probably figured as much out by now, regardless. Now, I will go ahead & stop editing for a time. Other than references I lifted from other pages (I admit, I did do that a lot, at first.) the vast majority of all the above resources are actually public documents which I was able to find and download through google searches-- with the exception of Wind Eagle, Lakota Myth & Dakota Star Map, those three being physical books I own, and Lakota Society, which I borrowed from a Library. So, If you want them in order to double check, they are there. But, I will note that, for whatever reason, the Forward for the digital copy of Catawba Texts comes separately from the rest of the book. This does not, however, mean that all information I have added is factual. I will admit that I could have made further mistakes. If anyone has any further questions, go ahead & ask, but it may take a few days for me to respond.

Also, the file sizes tend to be oddly erratic & hard to guess. I bought an RPG that only requires 16MB, & a point-&-click game that requires 4GB. You know. I wish I had this info to go on, I'd assume others do too. But, it doesn't say on Wikipedia, fan wikis, store ads, old press bulletins. Nothing.

Thank you for your contributions to this article! I kindly ask that you proofread them and conform them to the Manual of Style. Ampersands are inappropriate in article text, as are casual abbreviations ("N & S America" should be "North and South America"; we have plenty of room here and abbreviations are unencyclopedically colloquial). Common names of plants should not be capitalized; "Buffalo Gourd" should be "buffalo gourd" (or, at the beginning of a sentence or list item, "Buffalo gourd"). Thanks for making these corrections. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 22:54, 15 December 2020 (UTC) February 2021
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Did you read the message I left you in December? Correct capitalization and punctuation don't take any time at all and prevent volunteers from having to clean up after you. More critically, though: You must provide appropriate references, in an appropriate format, for any contribution you make. Edit summaries aren't the place to do this. Nor is YouTube a reliable source. Please be more conscientious with your contributions in the future. Thanks. Julietdeltalima (talk) 21:37, 8 February 2021 (UTC) ArbCom 2021 Elections voter message
