Talk:Conocotocko I

message: There are conflicting authorities on the subject of the identity of this and other Cherokee chiefs, as well as the relevant dates. According to the 1999 book The Cherokees and Their Chiefs: In the Wake of Empire by Stan Edward Hoig, University of Arkansas Press, "Old Hop" died in 1760 and was succeeded by Kanagatucko, also known as "Standing Turkey." Similar information appears in a footnote on page 111 of the 2007 book The Memoirs of Lt. Henry Timberlake: The Story of a Soldier, Adventurer, and Emissary to the Cherokees, 1756-1765 by Duane H. King, published by the The University of North Carolina Press, which says that Williams incorrectly identified Kanagatucko (who became civil chief of Chota after Old Hop's death in December 1760) as "Old Hop." Both of these sources are contrary to the current version of this article. --Orlady (talk) 00:04, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Conflicting information in different sources

message: The name was perhaps a problem even in 1761. The Amherst letters (British Manuscript Project, reel 34/40) include a speech given by Colonel Stephen to the Cherokees, 20 November 1761. It starts with "Gonocotocko". This seems more likely to be Kanagatucko than Kunagadoga, which would suggest that Kanagatucko was alive in 1761, unless Stephen got his names mixed up. A transcription of the speech is below (any errors are mine):

message: This section is in large part lifted verbatim, without attribution, from the Mooney 1912 article, "Taensa Indians" in the The Catholic Encyclopedia. I am rectifying this by changing it to block quotes, for now. Further work can be done to return it to standard prose, but note, I will check to ensure that the plagiarism is not returned. Whether out of copyright or in, if ideas, prose, etc. are taken from a source, the standard for doing honest written work is to cite the source (regardless of what you have heard, or what other editors allow to happen here).

thread_title:  re proving genalogy 

message: " John Dimery first appeared on the Horry County Census in 1820 as a "free person of color." Historian and genealogist Virginia DeMarce and Paul Heinegg have found that 80 percent of the individuals listed as free persons of color in 1790 and 1810 were descended from African Americans free in colonial Virginia. Most of those were descended from unions and marriages between white women and African men, people who lived and worked together as free, servants, or slaves. Some of the Africans were freed as early as the mid-17th century.[10]"
It's not clear how this passage is related to the Waccamaw. Did John Dimery identify as a Waccamaw? Was he a descendant of the freed African Americans from colonial Virginia? Without context, I think the majority of this paragraph is in the wrong article. 8.19.241.10 (talk) 22:40, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Tattooed Arm

message: This article has serious sourcing problems. The Gayarré book, the only "source" provided for this article for years, relates that Bras Piqué, or "Pricked Arm", warned the French about the Natchez attack, but says nothing about what happened to her after the attack. I found the McCloud article, "Natchez Political Evolution", that was listed under External links, on line here, but it has no mention of Bras Piqué, or "Pricked Arm", or "Tattooed Arm". I therefore removed it from the article. That leaves two recently published books about the Natchez that I do not have access to. Unless someone can soon provide a reliable source for the fate of Tattooed Arm after the Natchez attacked the French, I intend to removed that part of the article. - Donald Albury 02:04, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problems 

message: I changed Category:Haitian slaves to Category:French slaves, and removed Category:People of Saint-Domingue, because, per the Barnett book, which is from an academic press, it is not clear that Tattooed Arm was sent to Saint-Domingue, and in any case we have, so far, no source indicating that she reached Saint-Domingue. Some of the Natchez prisoners may have been sold as slaves in New Orleans, or may have died in New Orleans, while some of those shipped to Saint-Domingue may have died en-route. - Donald Albury 18:51, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

message: How many Wikipedia biographies have pictures of the subject's brother and the subject's spouse but not of the subject? The bibliography contains one on-line article with a picture - Barbara Graymont's entry in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography shows the Canadian postage stamp honouring Molly Brant. True, the picture shows her with three faces (!), but presumably this is symbolism and each face resembles her as much as any 18th-century picture.

I was the Motorola project's hardware diagnostics person, and made every new prototype do its thing or figured out why it couldn't.
Here is some original research which we cannot use;  Magic CAP was Never, Ever finished.  It was released to both Motorola and Sony in what wouldn't even be an alpha state to any responsible software vendor.  GM never met their promises to either vendor with respect to ROM code size or RAM usage, and the device was It was absolutely full of memory leaks and could be depended upon to lose any information you put in it within a week of daily use.  The Motorola product, which included an ARDIS packet radio was significantly hampered by the fact that the ARDIS service was hellishly expensive to use.
