Talk:Tuskaloosa

message: There are some serious issues with this article. For example, the spelling of the city of Tuscaloosa is used in some places as his name, in others the alternative spelling is used. The article needs to be renamed and we need better consistency throughout. Obviously there is a need for attribution. I'll be back to it soon. JodyB 20:46, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Serious Issues 

message: I've just re-written the majority of this page, with a significant expansions, citations, illustrations. I've included the de Soto chronicle description of the various towns of the province of Tuskalusa, as well as the battle of Mabila, with it's consequences for the Mabilians and the Spanish. Any thoughts or suggestions? Heironymous Rowe (talk) 04:26, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the article is supposed to be about Tuscaloosa, rather than the de Soto expedition, I think it would be better to present descriptions of his villages as a summary, rather than in the chronicle form - i.e, and on this day they were here, then they went there, etc. The latter format makes the article seem too much an account of the movements of the expedition. Also, it seems as if there is too much information about the chief of Mabila, who likely deserves his own article.Parkwells (talk) 14:49, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Re-write and expansion

message: It would have been more than the people of Tuskaloosa's chiefdom who were likely ancestors to the Choctaw and Creek.Parkwells (talk) 18:05, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: If you are referring to the mention in the lede, it is explained further and cited in the article here in this section Tuskaloosa#Mabilians. Heiro 18:35, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the reminder of the latter section; yes, I thought the Lede might have been misleading.Parkwells (talk) 18:52, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Mississippian culture as ancestors

message: In the article on Hernando de Soto, it says that Charles Hudson's projection/theory about de Soto's route after Mabila is not the consensus of academics and the government. Why are we accepting it as the basis of the map here? (Great map, by the way.) Parkwells (talk) 18:52, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Consensus on route

message: Noted that there is a main article on Mabila and the battle, which suggests that the section on the battle should be summarized more here.Parkwells (talk) 23:20, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Article on Mabila and battle

message: The infobox says Tuskaloosa was the chief of Tuskaloosa. Is this a mistake? Was there definitely a city or province that was also named Tuskaloosa (which seems odd as the name Tuskaloosa specifically means black warrior)? If so, which was named first, or was it a descriptive title (e.g. "Tuskaloosa's domain") instead of an official name? As far as I know, De Soto's account mentions only that Tuskaloosa lived in Atahachi. Any clarification would be appreciated.108.46.147.132 (talk) 19:54, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
