List of place names of Native American origin in Mississippi
Do you think, with what has been added recently, it may be appropriate to create and link a new article called "List of place names of Native American origin in Mississippi" comparable to List of place names of Native American origin in Alabama and others? If so, what ought to remain in this article? Incorporated municipalities, rivers rather than streams, and counties while leaving all the the Mississippi article to have everything including the myriad unincorporated communities and small streams?

Second question on sources: all the entries (except Leflore County and maybe a few more like Chittobochiah Creek [he references the old name Ittobechi rather than Chittobochiah, but maybe it changed between 2007 and now]) are in Keith Baca's "Native American Place Names in Mississippi", but there are earlier works that could be referenced for most of these too. If all of the Mississippi-relevant portions earlier published books on Native American place names like William Bright's "Native American Placenames of the United States" were referenced by Baca, would it be redundant to put footnotes for both Baca and Bright for Natchez, Yalobusha R, Bogue Chitto, etc?

Hawaii is not part of America (the continent)
Should we remove Hawaii from the list since the people are not Native Americans? We could write a new article but the people are completely different. Malcolmmwa (talk) 02:02, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Idaho
"Idaho – may be from Plains Apache ídaahę́, "enemy", used to refer to the Comanches, or it may have been an invented word."

Didn't George M. Willing admit he invented it himself when he met a girl named Ida? As far as I can tell, the Apache hypothesis is a fringe theory and shouldn't be given a spot on this page. --HappyWithWhatYouHaveToBeHappyWith (talk) 01:21, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Resource listed as 'permanent dead link' has simply moved; new link is...
This article has multiple citations of "Indian River and Place Names in Ohio" by August C. Mahr (i.e., notes # 116, 123, 126, 128, 132, and 133). The link provided in the current ref list is outdated and returns an error when clicked. The present location of this resource is at

Unwelcome section blanking
Charlie, you deleted my hard work on Ohio. I was very unhappy to see that. There was no justification for it. I have replaced what you deleted. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 05:27, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Johanna-Hypatia, There is no need for duplicate content as List of place names of Native American origin in Ohio exists. Look at the other states that are blank except for the wikilink to the state page. Cheers, Fettlemap (talk) 05:54, 25 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Read the two bodies of text and you'll see that it was not duplication, because my contributions were meticulously researched and cited, unlike the new page, which did not copy over my contributions but started anew and did a poor job of it. So my work stays in place until somebody copies it over to the new page. Cheers. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 09:44, 25 November 2022 (UTC)


 * P.S. Don't forget to indent replies on the talk page. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 09:44, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
