There is an 'origins' section, and that's it. An origins section implies to me that there is something more to follow and perhaps an 'aftermath' section. The main events of the 'wars' occurred in the 1850s, but are not touched upon. Very strange.
For instance: from the FA of 8/oct/2012:
'Due to conflicts with the Rogue River Indians, Major J. A. Lupton gathered 35 men from Jacksonville on October 8, 1855, and attacked the Native Americans near the mouth of Little Butte Creek, killing about 30 of them. Lupton was also killed, and eleven of his men were injured. On December 24 of the same year, Captain Miles Alcorn discovered and attacked a Native American camp on the north fork, killing eight. On Christmas the following day, another band of Native Americans were attacked near Little Butte Creek's mouth; some fled, while the rest were either captured or killed.'
No point copy pasting from one article to another, and I don't have access to any references, and know nothing about the topic, so I won't edit. Anyone else want to have a go?1812ahill (talk) 16:00, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is certainly a work in progress, and much more remains to be written about the conflict. While you may not have easy access to any sources, you likely actually do through your local library, as almost all offer access to either books that cover the topic or access to online databases with articles. Plus, Google Books has a large collection of public domain history books that probably have some useful info to help fill in some of the missing info. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:25, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Trudell has been dealing with end-stage cancer. Public reports of his condition have varied, and often been incorrect. Last night there were some Facebook posts by people unrelated to Trudell who announced he had died. They did not try to contact Trudell or his family before posting these public announcements. It was also announced on an online news site. Then Trudell's publicist asked for a retraction, which was made. As of this moment there is no WP:RS source for his death, time of death, or even confirmation that he has died. His family has asked for privacy and that people wait for the family to make an official statement. If things get more murky, rather than less, there are templates we can add here to cover the fact that this is a developing story with conflicting reports. While I don't think "present" is necessarily correct to put in the lead, we can't add more info on his death until there is a WP:RS source.  - CorbieV☊☼ 19:56, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Better is that the correct reference is stated at the picture. There already the legal issue is stated. Then it is a small step to add the reference.

message: This should be merged into the article on Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople. As there is also a List of Armenian Patriarchs as well as an article on the current Patriarch there is no justification nor need for this one. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 07:03, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone with an in-depth knowledge of the Armenian Church is needed here. However, my initial thought is that the Patriarch and the Patriarchate are two different entities. The Patriarchate can continue to exist even if there is no Patriarch. So, even though there is duplicated content, there may be a good reason to have two separate articles and the addition of future content might be better served by retaining two articles. This is not a vote against merging, I could be for it, but I just wanted to indicate that the case for merging is is probably not as cut-and-dried as the above "there is no justification nor need" assertion would suggest, and that there needs to be more discussion.

Talk:Treaty with the Kalapuya, etc.

message: I won't move this article as it is on the front page at the moment, but I believe that this article is a combination of two different treaties, and I believe neither one of them was called the Kalapuya Treaty. There is the Treaty with the Kalapuya, etc. which is the one that ceded the entire Willamette Valley, and then there's the Treaty with the Umpqua and Kalapuya. The first one concerns the Willamette Valley, the second concerns land in the southern part of the state. I'm correcting the mention of the Umpqua in the lede since the rest of the article appears to be about the northern treaty. But all the facts in this article need to be checked.

Talk:Opata people

message: However, according to Opatan oral traditionalists, “Opata” is the name some Tehuima villages gave to themselves and means “iron people,” since iron ore was abundant in Opata territory, and Opata spear tips were made from iron ore. Thus, those Tehuima people were also known as “the iron spear people.”
A citation is really, really needed here (I don't know where to find one). Is this quote trying to suggest that a New World people named themselves after a metal not in known use by anyone until the arrival of Europeans? Or was there indeed a pre-Columbian culture that used iron, contrary to what modern archaeology and history believes, and nobody really cares to talk about it much?

message: Where is the evidence that Frognal is an area of Hampstead which extends beyond the long road of that name? There is a Ward which includes Frognal in its name but is a mich wider area. There are a further four or five other roads with Frognal as part of their name which have never historically been seen part of what appears to be just Estate Agents speak such as Frognal Lane, Rise, Gardens etc, let alone roads such as Greenaway Gardens, Reddington Road, Oak Hill Park etc and if Frognal Gardens included presumably so should Church Row which is clearly part of the redoubtable Hampstead Village. The lower end of Frognal, the road is not what one could call affluent. Can someone help by pointing to something out there which describes this nebulous community as Frognal rather than just Hampstead.  I would also suggest that all the notable people are included on the List of residents of Hampstead with appropriate citations which has previously been discussed as the most logical approach to ensuring consistency.Tmol42 (talk) 16:07, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
