Shubinator (talk) 21:20, 10 May 2009 (UTC) Hi - I wanted to ask a question above the above article. Someone posted on the Help Desk that the county stated in the article was Sonoma County when Sherwood Valley is located in Mendocino County, California. When I went to look at the article, I found the link points to Mendocino, but is piped to say Sonoma County. I have
Cherokee Nation

How do you upload images. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Otonyona (talk • contribs) 19:13, 14 July 2009 (UTC) First Nations artHello, thanks for your comments. I will probably pick up more books on Pacific Northwest art in the future and contribute the information there into the appropriate articles.

BorgQueen (talk) 18:08, 24 July 2009 (UTC) CheersI raise a drink in your general direction. Oh, and compliments on the awesome work you're doing on that article, by the way - wish I could get it together to be of assistance. Vizjim (talk) 11:42, 28 July 2009 (UTC) Institute of American Indian ArtsI just checked and it looks like you got in before me. I reverted your original revision to get rid of the disparaging comments but was coming over to get your help making sure the correct stuff got in. Was about to go looking for the pre vandalism copy when I saw you had already finished it :) Jamesofur (talk) 01:05, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
awsomeawesome on Tahlequah, Oklahoma and Cherokee spelling. I tried my best, but don't know the language at all. Two requests...I've added a few articles to Needs Cherokee script... maybe you can do something there as well.

Once again you've popped up on my watchlist! I'd seen that page nominated for merging with Taíno and and thought of doing something about it, but what with school and all I have so little time. Anyhow, nice work and glad to see you're still around. I'll look around on Flickr for a free image of a Zemi... Lithoderm 05:18, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Orlady (talk) 20:21, 24 September 2009 (UTC) Hi Uyvsdi! Thanks for reverting the vandalism done by 75.57.173.150 at Spiro Mounds. However, his/her last warning, just a few minutes before, was a Level 3 warning, {{Uw-vandalism3}}. Thus, you should have applied a Level 4 warning, {{Uw-vandalism4}}. By not applying the correct level, you permit a vandalizing editor four more malicious edits before any recent changes patrollers, like yourself, can file a report at WP:AIV. Would you please consider deleting your Level 1 warning and replacing it with {{Uw-vandalism4}}? Thanks! — SpikeToronto (talk) 04:58, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
HelloOk no problem here.... what ever you think is best...Great job on Native American art!!
MisunderstandingSorry if I was unclear; what I was trying to say is that if this is notable, then we need to stop piping it to the college and create an article about the style itself instead. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:52, 6 November 2009 (UTC) (Inali)

Materialscientist (talk) 12:49, 17 November 2009 (UTC) John Hoover (Aleut) b. 1919No Wikipage yet, but a fine PD photo of one of his sculptures is available at http://clinton4.nara.gov/WH/Tours/Garden_Exhibit6/hoover.html --along with some others from a White House exhibit in the Clinton years. I recently posted that Willard Stone sculpture to his page. Stone was one of my Mom's favorites -- we always enjoyed seeing the Stone collection at the Gilcrease, and elsewhere around OK. Unfortunately, I didn't inherit her one Stone original. Actually, I'm not sure what the copyright status would be of a US govt photo of a sculpture by a living artist -- deceased would be OK, I think. Do you know those rules? Best, Pete Tillman (talk) 05:31, 18 November 2009 (UTC) Heh, I see he was on your to-do list too. A long-time favorite of mine & my family -- I was inspired by seeing his student work at the very fine current Wheelwright show, which you should try to get to -- runs well into 2010, ims. Catalog is a must-buy if you like the Dorothy Dunn studio style. Anyway, if you would like to add the bells & whistles, go for it -- I'm very rusty on infoboxes and project banners, but I think I got the basics. Interesting that he had a silkscreen print business with Gerald Nailor, Sr.. A pleasant surprise that he's still working, or was recently anyway. At 95, he should be able to take a break... Sad news re Michael Kabotie. I had a nice visit with him last year, after he gave a talk to the NAU group in Sedona. A nice man and a very talented artist. Makes you think. I didn't get a flu shot before they ran out, either... Best, Pete Tillman (talk) 06:05, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Calmer Waters (talk) 01:01, 20 November 2009 (UTC) RE: Spoke cardHeya, no problem :) I'm not an admin either so the best thing you can do to a repeat vandal is just escalate the warnings until they get blocked. Happy vandal hunting! Smokizzy (talk) 06:12, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Your improvements to Klamath TribesHi, I don't think we've talked before, but your name sure comes up a lot on my watchlist! I've done a somewhat adequate job of improving the content on Indian tribes in Oregon and it's nice to see someone else working in the same area. I have lots of plans and a short attention span, so I tend to work intensely in this area for a while then not work on it again for a long time. Anyway, thanks for your work on Klamath Tribes. One of my earliest (and strangest) confrontations on Wikipedia was over the water rights dispute (as seen on the talk page). Feelings certainly run high over this issue and the contributions to the topic have pretty much been slanted to one POV or another. I knew that to do it justice, I would have to spend a lot of time working on it, so I never got started. I also always thought that the topic was worthy of its own article. What do you think? I haven't followed the recent developments--is it still timely enough that a separate article is necessary? There's been some excellent work on Klamath River, Klamath Basin, etc. by a rivers enthusiast that includes some of the story. I'm just never sure where the best place to cover the water rights topic is, hence the idea that it be a separate article. It seems to overlap so many different areas, literally and figuratively.

IP edits to Indian reservationHi! This afternoon, an acquaintance of mine noticed vandalism within a Wikipedia article -- Indian reservation -- and, knowing that I was an experienced Wikipedia editor, asked me what she should do. I said that she should correct the vandalism she saw, which she did, in two edits: here and here. A short time later, I came along, looked through the article history, and restored an older, pre-vandalized version of the intro paragraph -- this edit. As you can see from her edits, they were clearly done in good faith. However, the notice you left at her IP surprised her, as she was only attempting to fix what she thought was vandalism. This message has the potential to give her the impression that attempting to make small, good-faith corrections is something that will result in harsh warnings from other editors. I'm sure she'd appreciate an apology for the harsh message that was left on her IP talk page. It reflects well on Wikipedia and the Wikipedia community when we recognize and actively try to correct our mistakes. Thanks! -- Sethant (talk) 03:11, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Black Indians PhotoHi Uyvsdi. I wanted to say thank you for finding more information on the Black Indians photo I put up. How did you find that? I couldn't find it when I was trying to find if there was something on it only thing I could find was what instituition was holding the picture.Mcelite (talk) 03:11, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
photo captionsHi, when you upload images to commons - and I know it's more work - please add details like what event, where, when, etc. This helps gives context for others on finding and using images. -- Banjeboi 19:50, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Maybe I should just raise this at NorthAmNative but I see you've been doing a lot of assessing for that WP and thought I'd field it to you; someone just removed the 2006-vintage cleanup tag from it but it needs something more than cleanup; it needs either deletion or some kind of merge/redirection...but to where? To Wakashan languages maybe, I guess. As you know the Catholic Encyclopedia is scarcely a modern source and many of its definitions are passe - this being one of them. While there is a Coast Salish peoples article, vs. Coast Salish languages, that's because there is some kind of commonality between Coast Salish peoples; that's not so much teh case here, other than linguistically (components being Makah, Nuu-chah-nulth/Ditidaht, Kwakwaka'wakw, Wuikinuxv/Oweekeno, Heiltsuk and Haisla). anyway jsut field this for your thoughts; as I recall, I think, you're a linguist so maybe you have some thoughts on how to deal with this; it may be as simple as turning this title into a redirect ot Wakashan languages; other than that it's just out-of-date.....as is, for example, the use of the term "Cowidgin" (Cowichan today) to refer to the Sto:lo and Skwxwu7mesh et al (i.e. any Salish group around the Gulf of Georgia/Puget Sound) or "Kwakiutl" to refer to the Kwakwaka'wakw (even though that's still the name for htem in other languages....so far).....btw on an inside front cover of a certain book on BC history vintage about 1958 there was an historical map which labelled Vancouver Island as "Wakish Nation".....Skookum1 (talk) 01:23, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
I saw your post on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America, and I read the discussion. I think it might be useful to get a few views or comments from editors outside the project! Anyway, I was thinking you could make a listing on Wikipedia:Requests for comment. Cheers, oncamera(t) 19:49, 8 February 2010 (UTC) Fair Use stuffThanks for the star, & the kind words. I've had mixed luck with posting FU stuff. So far, the Amerind art hasn't drawn any real flak, so maybe I'll do some more. It is nice to get illos into more articles. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 00:15, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Materialscientist (talk) 00:24, 16 February 2010 (UTC) I provided a reference. It is a link to an Appletons' article in Wikisource. Look under the "no footnotes" notice in the Notes section. Some of it also looks like it comes out of the Catholic Encyclopedia article, but I'm not going to deal with that for now. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 19:06, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
If the article happens to pass its AFD as a keep, I've tried to collect the actual possibly usable info about this group and write up what I can from it. It is here User:Heironymous Rowe/The Choctaw Nation of Florida. I would appreciate a look see at the article if you could, and feel free to edit out or in what you feel appropriate, as you have more experience working with articles on modern groups. Thanks a bunch, Heironymous Rowe (talk) 00:25, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

GreenlandThanks for help on pages about Greenland
adopting orphansHi Uyvsdi, nice work on Lotsee Patterson, I was wondering if you were aware of Wikipedia:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America/Unreferenced BLPs? PS I noticed you do some vandalism reversion, if you'd like Rollback just have a read of WP:Rollback and confirm when you would and wouldn't use it. ϢereSpielChequers 11:14, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Rollback I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

Jerome Tiger illustrationSay, we're trying to get the Tiger article listed on the Main Page under "Do You Know," which would vastly increase its viewership. I notice you added the illustration, whose copyright status is questionable. There's a discussion underway here[1] and any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.

Cherokee Casino in RolandYou rock! Thanks so much for helping me. I'm brand new at this and had no idea what I was doing even though I had read a seemingly endless number of guidelines. I would like to get articles started on Oklahoma's Indian-owned casinos because most of them are first-rate enterprises. Should I try again to start an article for the next one on the list? Or should I leave it alone? I don't have a ton of information on most of them, but the Oklahoma Tourism site (travelok.com) does have some pretty good information on the larger ones and some of our top tier casinos like the Cherokee-owned Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Catoosa or the Chickasaw-owned Winstar Casino (3rd largest in North America) aren't even on the Wikipedia list of Oklahoma casinos yet. I'm happy to do legwork and use the article you cleaned up for me as a guideline if you think it is useful. But if folks are going to get up in arms and delete them faster than I can start them, I'll focus on other areas.Jkalkman (talk) 13:36, 9 June 2010 (UTC) I noticed on your user page that you wrote a lot of articles on different tribes and bands. There are no articles on Sacagawea's band the Lehmi Shoshone. They were forced to give up their reservation in Salmon,Idaho and move south to the Fort Hall Reservation. The tribal chairman said they are "the Indian's Indian". I read about it in a Native American newspaper when I stopped at Ft. Hall. Here is there website. http://www.lemhi-shoshone.com/ 7mike5000 (talk) 00:20, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
