Talk:Louisiana Creole people

message: Hello, everyone. Excellent article. I'm a historian with a specialty in French colonial history in North America, particularly in "La Louisiane." I'd love to use my research to contribute to the article and maybe make a few very minor additions. (I'm also a writer and love copy-editing, so I'll look over the article for typos, as well.) I'll thoroughly explain any edit, to the extent that I'm able given the character limit. (Like I mentioned above, the additions should all be minor ones). Hopefully, we can discuss, as well, if any questions come up. (And of course you can revert any edit I make, but I won't be adding any content that's subjective or [to the best of my knowledge] objectionable [just a few dates and details about the early days in New France as that pertains to the topic of the article], so, hopefully, that won't be necessary.) I'm working on a different project right now. so I may not be back for awhile (it could be as long as a couple months or so before I can really start Wikipedia-ing properly!). Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up. Great job, everyone, and have a great day! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteGenevieve (talk) 17:22, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Louisiana Creole people's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

From Saint Dominicans: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 21:16, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

message: "The word is not a racial label and does not imply mixed racial origins—people of any race can and have identified as Louisiana Creoles."
Maybe in the past but not any more. An article titled What's the difference between Cajun and Creole — or is there one?  published in 2020 on the Historic New Orleans Collection site: "Today common understanding holds that Cajuns are white and Creoles are Black or mixed race; Creoles are from New Orleans, while Cajuns populate the rural parts of South Louisiana."
I know that singer Zachary Richard, who is white and born in the Lafayette area, and whose native tongue is Louisiana French, identifies himself as a Cajun, not a Creole. Lubiesque (talk) 14:19, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
