Moving back to Mojave and Mojave to dab page. If consensus is for Mojave and Mojave (people) you can do that yourselves too. Rich   Farmbrough 00:44, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Please note that Mohave and Mojave are both correct; when Fort Mohave was built and the Mohave reservation created, southern Macaves followed the advice of their Head Men (such as Chooksa homar and Yara tav) and relocated to the reservation. Northern Macaves resisted the reservation and are generally referred to as the Mojaves.
I am a bit ashamed of myself for having ignored this page for an entire year (to the day) without making the changed and additions I had promissed myself I would do. It has been mere laziness on my part.

message: The Mohave did have a wonderous appetite for ariel. They shared it when unweary guests were visiting.
What is "ariel"? In our Ariel disambiguation page, the only thing that could be considered food is Dorcas Gazelle, which is only in the middle east. Dictionary.com gives a few other ariel animals: a "squirrel-like Australian marsupial", a "beautiful Brazilian toucan", and the "ariel petrel" (which I couldn't find any information on, but petrels are mostly southern hemisphere). I think maybe this line (added here) may have been vandalism. I'll remove it unless anyone knows what "ariel" is referring to? -kotra (talk) 18:51, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I just want to note that the etymology of Mohave < hamook habi is certainly older than the 1917 handbook referred to in the article. It was apparently the accepted interpretation of that name in 1886, featuring in J.P. Dunn's Massacres of the mountains of that year. Zwart (talk) 22:14, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hamok means "three" and "habi" is a bastardization of "'avii" meaning "mountain," but it also has a root element meaning "stone" and "place." So "'avii" is generally used in conjunction with a place name that is noted for rocks or boulders. Whipple (and Ives) got the name wrong on his 1854 map, though: in the Yuman, one would speak of "'Avii hamok" and not "Hamok 'avii" or "Hamok habi." For example, a mountain was named after Whipple, and its Mojave name is "'Avii Kur'utat." --Desertphile (talk) 00:15, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: The unsigned contrib was at the bottom of the page when added, and was appropriately pushed away from the 23 April 2010 contrib that it immediately followed by a remark clearly responsive to what had preceded it. It was the IP contributor's first edit on :en:WP, and so far their last.     Oh, yeah, please start your contrib with a heading, unless you are saying something in response to the section that precedes it! --Jerzy•t 07:55, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

HIGHLAND PARK, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90042.  He footnotes his own pamphlet from his articles, but this is clearly a violation of Wikipedia policy to present this way. I am deleting the material.Parkwells (talk) 01:29, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I moved a little overly specific info from the lead (about the tribe headquarters, etc) to a current status subsection. It was too specific to a particular part of the article (i.e. the semi-related details about the organization of tribes to which the Mojave belong) to be in the lead.12.11.127.253 (talk) 20:12, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

message: Whilst both spellings appear to be acceptable, it's strange for both variations to appear throughout the article, switching back and forth depending on the section. It would make sense to settle on one to use consistently here, wouldn't it? 80.193.25.91 (talk) 22:15, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
