A fact from Shikellamy appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 April 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Shikellamy, an Oneida chief, was an emissary between the Iroquois and colonial government of Pennsylvania for nearly twenty years and helped negotiate several treaties?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/April.

Off-Topic POV Voice In 'A friend to Christian Missionaries' Shikellamy entry

Hi to whomever monitors this page, but I would just point out that the swipes at general Pennsylvania practice in dealing unfairly with the Delaware tribes through the man Sasoonan kinda reads and feels really petty and off-topic for this section and this article, even as a setup for later in the section when Shikellamy is shown to have been treated and lived very differently. It just doesn't work because it isn't written as having any sort of connection. Everybody knows that there were many unfair things that happened in history; the significance of Shikellamy, much like Sacagawea, is how well he got along with the colonists.

I will leave the wording alone for 24 hours, and if I get no response, or nobody else changes it, I will change it myself. My plan is to remove it and create an entry for Sasoonan based on the information in this Shikellamy article, since Sasoonan doesn't currently appear to have a Wikipedia entry.

Hi. Never got around to it but I still plan to. Matter of time on my hands. From what I can tell so far, however, Sasoonan does not meet article requirements. Playerpage (talk) 16:48, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note concerning the quotation of Shikellamy's great-grand-son, Jesse Logan. He says that his father, John Logan, Jr., died in 1944. The date given for Jesse's statement is 1915 so that he obviously meant 1844, not 1944. {Dave Lea} — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dave Lea (talk • contribs) 20:52, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
