Talk:Ndaba kaMageba

message: None of the reliable sources say anything about kaMageba. I think the article should be moved to Ndaba unless some reliable source can be provided that shows kaMageba is part of his name.  —Chris Capoccia  T⁄C 13:36, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Colenso, ka means "son of" or "daughter of" so maybe kaMageba is not an actual surname. And maybe it should be "ka'Mageba" instead of "kaMageba". See   —Chris Capoccia  T⁄C 14:50, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Nimerigar

message: Shoshone mythology seems to have several names for the little people/dwarves. Nimerigar seems to be the least common - in fact I can't find anything that looks like a reliable source for it. On the other hand, I see a number of sources for "nynymbi", eg . Ninumbee is also found  as are other variations. Another book  goes into some detail about the little people calling them "Nimimbe" while this academic book uses "Nin'am-bea".
And this reliable source has:
Ninimbe
Little People of the western United States.
Etymology: Shoshoni (Uto-Aztecan), "mountain man."
Variant names: Nimerigar (Arapaho Algonquian), Ninimhcb, Ninimpi, Ninumbo (Bannock/Uto-Aztecan), Nu'numbi (Northernt
Paiute/Uto-Aztecan), Toyanum (Goshute/Uto Aztecan), U-nu'-pits (Paiute/Uto-Aztecan).
So this article needs a new title and a bunch of redirects - and expansion. Dougweller (talk) 16:09, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Should Hawaiians be considered Native Americans? 

message: This is a mess, so many variants. Another from a University press book. "They were the homes of the Ninnimbe, the Little Demons or Little People. Here are some former beliefs about them. ^Thhe Little People were two or three feet high, strong and fear-Jjess. They wore clothing of goatskin and always carried a large quiver of arrows on their backs. They were stealthy stalkers, expert hunters, and good fighters, also, but they sometimes fell prey to eagles. Their poisoned arrows, shot with deadly aim, picked off many of the early Shoshonis. Their arrows were invisible."
And in Ideology and Identity: Western Shoshoni "Cannibal" Myth as Ethnonational Narrative Author(s): Richard O. Clemmer  Source: Journal of Anthropological Research, Vol. 52, No. 2 (Summer, 1996), pp. 207-223I found "A fragment of a legend about cannibals who were also giants and lived area of Jarbidge, Nevada, survives in current Shoshoni lore, and human-eating giants are recorded for the Owens Valley Paiute by (1936a:424-25) and for the Southern Ute by Lowie (1924:74). In stories, "water babies"---Nunumbi or Nenewe in Shoshoni--drown the giants." Interesting that this is an article about a "white cannibal" myth. We don't have an article on this.

message: An anon. IP is rewriting the article. Although I have not reviewed everything, I did check into the Edo script. This is not found in the source that anon. used to justify the edit. In fact, it would appear to be a hoax: I have been unable to verify it from any Edo cultural organization. So, unless anon. can provide verifiable references for the Edo script, I can only assume that his edits as a whole are not reliable. I have therefore reverted them pending such sourcing.

Talk:Queen Sylvia of Buganda

message: Yet again I have reverted two unexplained and incorrect changes made on the article page to the name of Sylvia Nagginda, Queen Sylvia of Buganda. Both of these most recent instances of vandalism originate from a single IP address (196.0.54.83) apparently located within Uganda (established via http://www.iplocation.net/index.php), and occurred within one minute of each other on 6 January 2014‎. The first of these changes was to the name text in the article page's Infobox (person), which triggered the edit to be tagged by a filter as suspicious (possible BLP issue or vandalism). Adequate verification of the correct name to be used in this article can be found on various external web sites, e.g. http://www.nnabagereka.org/.

message: *  The poet Maurice Manning is incorrectly linked to the Irish politician. [User:129.79.116.81]
*In 1947 MacLeish was succeeded by W. H. Auden, who was in the process of becoming an American citizen; Auden stayed editor for thirteen years, longer than anyone else. If Benét's choices put the Yale series on the map, Auden's choices garnered pages in the atlas. They included, among others, W. S. Merwin, Adrienne Rich, John Ashbery, John Hollander, and James Wright. Auden also chose twice to select nobody.

thread_title:  Date Line 

message: I have also posted this to Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents Please continue the discussion there to resolve the problem.
I am trying to contribute to history and size of population of Muslims in articles such as Islam in Asia. I have several peer-reviewed articles in scientific conference proceedings and journals and a recent 600 page book []. So I added some results in Islam in Asia and other continent and cited by book. Interestingly, some editors such as AndyTheGrump, Jreferee and Dolescum keep reverting my contribution (basically deleting all of it and the source). They keep citing COI or self-publishing, none of which applies here. In fact, Self-citations are allowed per Wikipedia:SELFCITE#Citing_yourself. When I refute their allegations they come up with another excuse and keep threatening of blocking my account. Such "referees" or "editors" may have other motives that they are not disclosing. The job of an editor or contributor is to make the article better, not deleting all sources and information. Better means: checking facts, better reference, etc. May be mis-understanding is promoting such ill-informed editors to go to war! Someone needs to stop this as it degrades the content of articles. Experts like me will not put up with this and will give up easily (they are busy doing real research and real publications). However, bloggers and those who know less, in the long term will control the quality and content of WP articles. Something that no one wants for WP. Hkettani (talk) 17:01, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
