thread_title:  aboriginal? 

message: Deathphoenix edited prior copy to suggest Francis Pegahmagabow was not the single most effective sniper of WWI. This is contrary to all the historical references I've seen, online and off. I've re-edited the opening line to reflect the historical reality -- which AFAIK needs no qualification. Cheers, 05:26, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)
:Okay, if that's what you want to do. I have nothing but the highest respect for Francis, but being the single most effective is a bit of a strong statement. Of all the combatants that fought in WWI as snipers, Francis was the single most effective sniper, 100% verified that he made the most kills and most captures? Historical records from WWI are incomplete. Even the number of kills (378) is unverified (hence I changed it to up to 378). Given all these inconsistencies, who's to say who was the single most effective sniper for both sides? For the Allies? For the Canadians? I am nothing short of amazed at his accomplishments (so I intend to work on this article as much as I can), but I have a hard time accepting that he was the single most effective sniper of WWI. Such a statement is POV and changes depending on who you ask. --Deathphoenix 12:33, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: BTW, you're right about Francis being the most highly decorated aboriginal soldier. I even knew that, so I have no idea what I was thinking when I corrected that. Sorry. --Deathphoenix 14:01, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: <i>not</i> the single most effective 

message: I have assessed this as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, and of mid importance given his prominence in World War I. Cheers, CP 21:41, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Assessment 

message: I was thinking about making this article my first solo review, but I on second thought, I do not think I know enough about the type of subject to judge, but I do have some thoughts.  First, the sentence "...the First Nation soldier most highly decorated for bravery in Canadian military history and the most effective sniper of World War I." makes me wonder if the wikilink should be First Nations and linked to that article rather than the aboriginal article. 
:Also might want to reword to say, "...the most highly decorated First Nation soldier for bravery in Canadian military history and the most effective sniper of World War I."  It is less confusing.  I had to read it a few times to figure out why "the" was used instead on "a".--Ishtar456 (talk) 14:38, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, more suggestions, 
1. "prior to the war", which war?
2. "Pegahmagabow preferred the much hated Ross rifle" Preferred it to what?
3. "He saw action at the" sounds crass. Maybe, saw combat?, entered combat? became engaged in combat?
I have made some minor changes, but on third thought think maybe this is a "quick fail" :( Sorry. Very interesting topic though.  Please, don't give up. --Ishtar456 (talk) 15:20, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  some suggestions 

message: One more thing:
"Autobiography: Hayes, Adrian. Pegahmagabow: legendary warrior, forgotten hero (2003 ed.). Fox Meadow Creations. . - Total pages: 95"
It is not an autobiography, unless it is written by the subject of the book.--Ishtar456 (talk) 15:31, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
