Talk:Black Elk Speaks

No comment
As there is no discussion here regarding the heading citation tag here, as there is no note of who the author of it was, and as I have added a number of references (more welcome!) and expansions, I have removed the tag as it now seems unwarranted. LookingGlass (talk) 17:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

References in popular culture
Black Elk Speaks is referenced extensively in William Least Heat-Moon's Blue Highways. Perhaps it would be good to add a section on references in popular culture? Wideaperture (talk) 20:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Adoption
Thanks CorbieVeccran for the clarification; the other was from an interview by Hilda Niehardt.Parkwells (talk) 21:49, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Standing Bear - which one?
The linked individual is not noted as an artist/illustrator, so I'm not sure which person is the illustrator. Delinking until clarified. - Co rb ie V  ☊ 22:03, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Changing names of citations to auto-generated numbers is not actually preferable
The auto-generated numbering is a function that helps new editors learn how to format inline citations. It is not the preferred WP format. There is no good reason to go through and remove the names of citations and swap in numbers, and this edit actually made it look like you were changing some of these citations to different sources entirely. Named cites are preferable as they are easier for people see which source is being referred to, rather than looking up a number. Please stop doing this. I am asking you to return the names to the citations, as a courtesy to those who've written and maintained this article over the years, as well as to those who want to be able to tell at a glance which source is being cited. Thanks. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 20:25, 19 June 2020 (UTC)


 * What do you mean by changing the names? What numbers did I swap in? I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was doing anything wrong. We can revert my edits. Can you give me a link to the preferable WP method? Sorry again and thank you for the correction. TipsyElephant (talk) 03:25, 21 June 2020 (UTC) Should I revert my edits? I'd like to help improve this page. TipsyElephant (talk) 14:30, 21 June 2020 (UTC)


 * The citations had names like ref name=hilda and ref name="DeMallie", you changed them to the autoformatted numbers, like ref name=":0" , ref name=":1" . Updating the URLs and putting unformatted cites into templates are improvements, so a wholesale revert is not necessarily best, but changing the names is confusing and unnecessary. WP:CITE is the place to start for guidelines. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 19:34, 21 June 2020 (UTC)


 * I used the formatting suggested under the repeated citations section here:WP:CITE. I didn't change the font color and stuff though. Should I change that back or is there a formatting preference for colors? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:TipsyElephant (talk • contribs)


 * Thank you for changing the citation names in the article to actual names instead of numbers. There is no need to change the colors of fonts in article space. The only reason I changed the colors here on talk was for emphasis in the explanation. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 18:03, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
