Talk:Dextra Quotskuyva

Copyright violation, rewrite notes.
The current article text is a cut-and-paste from http://www.holmes.anthropology.museum/southwestpottery/dextraquotskuyva.html Details are on the currently-blocked article page. Holmes bio is factually correct, but our text is a blatant copyvio, sigh.

Notes for rewrite:
 * Painted Perfection: The Pottery of Dextra Quotskuyva, archive of dead link. Link has Martha Struever's mini-bio, a good source. I have the book, but it's in storage.


 * My review of the catalog at Amazon, which has stuff I can use for a quick stub rewrite, to get the page back up.

Refs and links are fine, pdf is dead and probably gone. Text all needs rewrite. I'll get to it, maybe just a quick stub first till I find Struever's book --Pete Tillman (talk) 07:48, 15 December 2013 (UTC)


 * New stub now ready to publish at Talk:Dextra Quotskuyva/Temp --Pete Tillman (talk) 06:08, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Death in summer 2019
Apparently Dextra died in the summer of 2019, at age 91. However, I'm unable to find an obituary or news item to confirm this. Perhaps someone else will see one. --Pete Tillman (talk) 03:59, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Death of Dextra
Dextra has indeed died. I was a guest of her family at Hopi and was on a day trip to Flagstaff when her daughter notified me of her death. It is my photo of her in this article. The next day I updated this article with the details of her death but it was removed several weeks later for lack of a reference. There is no published reference to her death. The records of Hopi headquarters is not public information. Please reinstate my original update. I can put anyone in touch with her daughter if necessary. This is an unacceptable omission to her bio. 2603:7081:2006:1680:4C5B:5DC:83EA:FE4 (talk) 14:34, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks for this. I'll add the DoD again, with a pointer to here. --Pete Tillman (talk) 07:38, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't see your reverted edit in the article history? I might have missed it. Could you add the exact date of death again to the article, and I'll support your add. As you say, we're an encyclopedia! Ridiculous to pretend she's still alive, 2 years on. --Pete Tillman (talk) 07:44, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
