Larry Spotted Crow Mann

Hi. Thanks for all you do for Indigenous pages. Can you take a look at the page for Larry Spotted Crow Mann and see whether you think I have effectively removed "fan-like" language? many thanks Ssenier (talk) 15:29, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Deadose, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages San Gabriel River and Kichai (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Was Voltaire wrong about William Penn's 1683 treaty with the Lenape Indians?

Hi! In case you are interested, there is a discussion here about William Penn's 1683 treaty with the Lenape Indians, and specifically whether Voltaire's famous quote ("...a treaty never written, never broken") from his 1764 Dictionnaire philosophique was incorrect. If you have time, your input would be appreciated. Thanks! --Guy Macon (talk) 11:37, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

Pertaining to the Nomlaki article. The two people of note are not Paskanta. That's all I am making sure of. That they do not get affiliated with Paskanta. LunchboxCFD

Baseless accusations

If you're going to make accusations, back them up. You speak of a "frenzy" of moving articles. Which articles? I mentioned two of them, and gave my reasons; are there any others you mean? — kwami (talk) 21:38, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[1]? -Uyvsdi (talk) 00:45, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]

That doesn't answer the question. I could say you should be banned because [this]. Presumably whatever I have a problem with is in there somewhere, but how are you supposed to know where? How am I supposed to respond if you won't say what the problem is? The list you link to is full of redirect creation, spelling corrections, punctuation corrections, etc. In the past month, precisely three moves have been challenged: One (Halkomelem) where per BOLD I reverted an undiscussed move by Skookum, and then reverted again; one (Parnkalla), where I rejected the idea that "Parnkala" was the language and "Parnkalla" the people (or something equally spurious), and the original mover accepted my correction; and one (Bosnian pyramids) where everyone agreed the article needed to be moved, but we ended up choosing a slightly different wording. So I've committed a *single* edit-warring move in the past *month*. That requires a ban? I don't get it. You've moved articles in a disputed context, as you admit in the discussion. Should you be banned too for contributing to the problem? What are the criteria here? — kwami (talk) 18:20, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, please nominate! BTW I didn't vote for a move ban against you or anyone else. -Uyvsdi (talk) 23:15, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]

Oh, I guess you didn't. But you did say "There obviously is a real problem going on with move warring and undiscussed moves". For me, what are examples of this problem? — kwami (talk) 01:38, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Isleta Pueblo wikithon

Hi -

Saw your name on my watchlist - does this mean you have returned to WP? Hope so. This is incredibly late notice for you, but we are doing a wikithon on Native literatures tomorrow (Thursday 12th) at Isleta Pueblo. I presume there's no way that you could attend, but I would very much welcome any and all suggestions you might want to make to improve the project page for the event, or suggest other articles that should be worked on.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:32, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WikiConference - Indigenous People's Day Programming

Hi Uyvsdi - I am reaching out to you because I am helping to plan and organize Indigenous Peoples' Day programming during WikiConference 2016 and I think your feedback about our direction would be very valuable. If you are interested, perhaps I can share our vision and what we have planned to date? Input during the conference from Wikipedia users who focus on these projects and adding this content is also an important piece of this. Thanks!

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:56, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge

You are invited to participate in the 50,000 Challenge, aiming for 50,000 article improvements and creations for articles relating to the United States. This effort began on November 1, 2016 and to reach our goal, we will need editors like you to participate, expand, and create. See more here!

Speedy deletion nomination of Yora

Hello Uyvsdi,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Yora for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Siyo

Uyvsdi, I don't know if you are active or even check your Wikipedia anymore but I wanted to, first of all, thank you for all of your contributions. Secondly, I wish that you are still active because I could utilize your experience and expertise. I would love to have someone to brainstorm with on Indigenous people's articles and especially those about Cherokee. You seem as rooted and resolute as myself when there are so many who allow the wind to carry them. I do hope I hear from you. Where ever you are may Great Spirit watch over you.Tsistunagiska (talk) 14:53, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
