Talk:Washoe people

message: The name of the article is currently "Washoe people", but the article text mostly uses "Washo", and the language article is "Washo language". What appears to be the tribe's website spells it "Washoe".

There are scholarly articles in the sources without an e, but before adding it as an alternative name in the lede, it'd be good if someone could check that they aren't referring to the language group but the actual people. -LlywelynII (talk) 20:47, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Republika Srpska dinar

message: Dinar of Serbia and Montenegro was also used in Repbublika Srpska until Bosnian Marka was introduced. Bosnian dinar was never used in territory of Republika Srpska.
I can find no evidence for issues by the Republika Srpska of the "1994 dinar" or the novi dinar and have rewritten this article accordingly, taking into account the unsigned comment above.Dove1950 22:20, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The "1994 Republika Srpska dinar" was the mistake on my part. So if the above unsigned comment is true, besides changing "1993 RS dinar -> Yugo dinar" here, we must also make the change on Yugo dinar, as well as B&H dinar, to remove the "1993 RS dinar -> B&H dinar" relationship that is allegedly mistaken. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 14:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Yokuts language

message: From the article:
:Callaghan (1997) provides strong evidence uniting Yokutsan and Utian as sub-families within a single Yok-Utian language family.
This represents a gross misrepresentation of the cited text. Quoting from Callaghan's conclusion:
"In answer to the question of genetic kinship between Yokuts and Utian, I would say that the preponderance of evidence argues in favor of such a relationship, but it cannot be called true beyond a reasonable doubt, especially since speakers may have lived side by side from the time of the proto-languages."

Talk:Goshute

message: I think we should keep this page’s current citation to the "Goshute Indians" article in the Utah History Encyclopedia (1994). This citation links to an older copy of that article on the (possibly impermanent) historytogo.utah.gov website, rather than the Encyclopedia’s true current home at uen.org (the Utah Education Network). The text of both articles is identical, but the older version includes a photo of a Goshute mother and fairly young child. I don’t know why this compelling photo didn’t make it into the newer version, but I also believe it makes the older version stronger: it gives the article an element of humanity that is sometimes lacking in Wikipedia citations dealing with ethnological or anthropological topics.
Please note that many of the Wikipedia citations to Utah History Encyclopedia articles which had URLs on the historytogo.utah.gov website have turned into dead links. Just in case that should happen to this “Goshute Indians” article, I expanded the citation to add an archived copy of the older article (including the photo) from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. That way, if the original turns into a dead link, the main citation link will still connect to the archived copy with the photo.
I think we should drop the older article that includes the photo if it turns out that the mother and child are not actually Goshutes or something similar. If an ethnologist, an anthropologist, someone from the Utah Historical Society or some other similarly authoritative Wikipedian tells us to drop the photo, we should defer to their judgment. Just remember that the usual Wikipedia rules about community consensus apply here: many more people are interested in this article than just me, and most of them (presumably) know more about this topic than I do.
Anyway, I’m leaving the older archived article (and the photo) in the citation for now.

Talk:Duwamish people

message: The sentence "The tribe is of moderate size with respect to moderately-sized federally-recognized Washington tribes" is marked as "vague", but it simply repeats what the source says. Since we have a ban on original research, I don't see how it can be made less vague. List_of_federally_recognized_tribes_by_state#Washington shows 29 recognized tribes, three of which have names that identify them as confederations of tribes. Besides being very laborious work, wouldn't it be impermissible synthesis under WP:NOR to look up the number of registered members of each of these & demonstrate that the Duwamish would fall somewhere near the median?
Therefore, I'd like to remove the "vague" tag. The vagueness is in the sources, not in the writing. - Jmabel | Talk 04:06, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Addison Baker

message: I added some detail to this entry. Because of the way the citations were awarded, some books about the low level raid did not make the connection that Jerstad and Baker were in the cockpit of the same aircraft. Eyewitnesses could not tell which was in control of the badly burning plane, and either or both may have been, so they were both awarded the MoH. I edited the opening para. in order to link Tidal Wave to the entry already in Wiki. The use of "Air Corps" is common but an error for World War II articles. The Army Air Corps was re-named the Army Air Forces on 21 June, 1941, when the Air Force became an autonomous part of the Army along with the Army Ground Forces and Army Services of Supply (later Army Service Forces). The Air Corps existed as a component of the USAAF for a short while but was discontinued in the reorganization of 9 March 1942.   Buckboard 21:44, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Ray Mabus

message: i found the recent inclusion of primary results somewhat questionable, and welcome comments.  first, the article doesn't include primary results from other races, so why this one?  it looks as if the editor wanted to put a bad spin somehow, although I am sure that wasn't the intent.  assuming that's not the case, then perhaps we need to clarify the article to make clearer that -- while the primary results may or may not be noteworthy for inclusion -- he didn't barely win the primary.  As written, "He only garnered 50.8% of the vote in the Democratic primary over Congressman Wayne Dowdy--an unusually close margin for an incumbent governor." makes it sound as if he barely won and makes a value judgment without sourcing the analysis.  But he won by 10 percentage points, a pretty good margin, and we need to make clear there was a third candidate.  Again, comments welcome. Journalist1983 (talk) 23:51, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Evidently, the name "Mabus" is mentioned in Nostradamus' quattrains as the third and ultimate anti-christ. The first two were named Paunayloron(Napoleon) and Hister(Hitler). Many have suggested that Mabus could be interpreted as "Obama". However it would be easier to point to someone actually named Mabus. Its a big coincidence that Ray Mabus is a  Cabinet member and a former ambassador to the Middle East. Ray Mabus has been mentioned as a possible anti-christ on a History Channel documentary on Nostradamus and the anti-christs mentioned in his quattrains.
