I have reverted your edits due to them not being properly referenced. Please refer to Citing sources and No original research. Thanks. Jb45424 (talk) 23:16, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I have again reverted your edits due to them not being properly referenced. Articles within Wikipedia are not to be cited as sources for other articles. Please refer to Circular. I would suggest you start with smaller edits and learn how they are properly referenced within Wikipedia, as opposed to dumping large amounts of text only to have it reverted.

List of American Indian Nations
Hi there. I caught your list in the New Pages queue this morning. I was sort of surprised to learn such a listing was not already on Wikipedia, but that does seem to be the case. Thanks for your efforts and do keep working on this — it is a huge topic but a very important list if you can power through and get it done. I have taken the liberty of changing the name to List of Native American peoples in the United States which is in closer conformity to our naming conventions (a: calling List articles "List of" and b: calling the various Native American tribal groupings "peoples" rather than "nations.") I wish you the best with this project, I reiterate that it's a potentially EXTREMELY valuable page for Wikipedia. best regards, —tim /// Carrite (talk) 14:35, 29 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I know it is a lot of work, but if you could make the links to each tribal entity happen during the first appearance of the term (i.e. in the Alphabetical section rather than in Part 2, it would be much more useful as a navigational device. I think this is probably standard house style for links as well... Carrite (talk) 14:44, 29 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I'd also suggest, given the massive size that this article will be if you make it to the end of the road, that you don't worry about the second section classifying tribes and just build an alphabetical listing. See the listing of Alaskan tribes in the See Also section to get an idea of how big this list is going to be at completion. I'd encourage you to delete the entire second part and to put up as many Wikipedia links as you can in the alphabetical section. I will try to add the tribes of Oregon when I get a chance, there are probably 30 or so... Carrite (talk) 14:54, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Well, damn it, I'm sorry...
I was starting to put up a set of redirects to your article and found an already-existing listing: Classification of indigenous peoples of the Americas. Your new start is what we call a "fork" of this and the second section needs to go away for sure. The alphabetical listing remains valuable and you should continue to work on that if you are able. Be sure to use the existing WP article as source material for the alphabetical listing since it has a ton of links to standing WP articles. Drop me a line if you have any questions, either on my talk page or by email at ShoeHutch@gmail.com. —tim /// Carrite (talk) 15:05, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you
Ok, sorry I haven't been on in a while & thank you all for the input. I had checked for such a page beforehand and was having difficulty finding one. The main issue I wanted to do something like this was because a large amount of the native american pages are a bit confusing and difficult to follow. I will definitely try to keep my work going here. Mostly, I've just been editing state information involving native peoples and trying to get it all updated to the best of my ability. Thank you again. Bobbotronica (talk) 17:18, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Reliable sources needed
Hello, I'm 32.218.47.236. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Mascouten, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 32.218.47.236 (talk) 18:23, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

Reliable sources needed
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Mascouten, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Genealogytrails.com is not a reliable source because it's self-published. Book advertisements are also not reliable sources. 32.218.32.100 (talk) 14:19, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Ok, then. I'll leave it alone. Bobbotronica (talk) 14:23, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

I feel like I ought to point out, though, that even if the information is incorrect, there's not currently a whole lot of well known information about this area from the 16th century & putting it out in the open may make it easier to tell what is or isn't correct. From the title, the guy apparently got it from other Archaeologists (it definitely reads like he did) & it made a lot of things that weren't making a whole lot of sense to me in the accepted-known history click, (Not necessarily concerning the Mascouten, but the Beaver Wars in general. Ironically, it also played into other information from the West Virginia pages, where actual archaeologists & historians have been compiling a ridiculous amount of information.) so I would be inclined to believe the article. As to the Illinois Confederacy remark, that actually came from their Wiki page, but nothing on there is cited. I had to try to wing it. Personally, there's still something bugging me on exactly how they play into the history of the era, but it's not something I'm particularly focusing on right now. I'm not going to tell you what to do with your article, especially if you think it's going to cause problems, but I wrote down what I trust is correct. Sorry to bother you.

Proposed deletion of List of native american peoples of Canada & Greenland


The article List of native american peoples of Canada & Greenland has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "This article doesn't seem like much of an article -- a bit discombobulated, a bit all over the place, and in desperate need of reformatting. If not deleted, then at least moved to drafts."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ɯ ɐ ɔ 💬 19:54, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

I can appreciate that, but it's definitely not done yet. It took me weeks to do that other one, so I hope people will bear in mind with me in the meantime. Bobbotronica (talk) 14:18, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

September 2017
Thank you for your recent contributions, such as List of native american peoples of Canada & Greenland. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. ''Hi! Also try to not copy/paste information from your previous article, List of American Indian Nations. Thanks! '' ɯ ɐ ɔ  💬 19:56, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Canada 10,000 Challenge submissions
The 10,000 Challenge of WikiProject Canada will soon be reaching its first-anniversary. Please consider submitting any Canada-related articles you have created or improved since November 2016. Please try to ensure that all entries are sourced with formatted citations and no unsourced claims.

You may submit articles using this link for convenience. Thank-you, and please spread the word to those you know who might be interested in joining this effort to improve the quality of Canada-related articles. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:13, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

See Also: List of Native American peoples in the United States
You have put See Also: List of Native American peoples in the United States on most, if not every, article about a U.S. state, but that is not a suitable "see also" topic because it is far too general. "See also" lists should point readers to wikipedia articles that are specific expansions on the topic at hand - otherwise you could have 10,000 "see also"s on virtually every article. That's why I and others have removed them. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 22:32, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Questionable material you added to History of Florida
Last September you added over 6,000 bytes to History of Florida in one edit. I find that material to be highly questionable, and improperly sourced. Where did you get it from? Please provide full citations for Marquardt 2004 and McMahon and Marquardt. I have a copy of John Hann's Indians of Central and South Florida: 1513-1763, which I presume is what is cited as Hann 2003 in the material you added, and I can assure you it does not support that material. - Donald Albury 23:48, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I invite you to discuss this at Talk:History of Florida. - Donald Albury 16:32, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Do you understand that sources must directly support the text?
We can't interpret, we can't build an argument using several sources not all of which are directly discussing the topic. Please see WP:NOR. Doug Weller talk 14:06, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Major difference between your edit and your source
Yesterday you made an edit stating that "The United States, misinterpreting the situation, illegally crossed the border and declared war on the Seminole for "stealing American property" in the First Seminole War (1816-1819)." The source says "In the early 1800s, the Seminole were friends of other runaways—escaped African-American slaves. They hid the slaves and welcomed them into their families. General Andrew Jackson used the runaway slaves as an excuse to lead an army out of Georgia against the Seminole, starting the First Seminole War of 1817-18."

That's very different, and in any case anything we say about the First Seminole War needs to match text in that article, we shouldn't have different reasons for the war in different articles. Doug Weller talk 14:13, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

With the 3 above questions, I already answered Donald Albury on the History of Florida talk page. To Doug Weller: It took me a while to get exactly what you were having issue with, but I got it now. I come from a background, moreso, of creative writing, not researching or informative works. When I used the phrase "stealing American property," I was not straight-quoting anyone or thing. I was being mildly sarcastic and trying to get the reader into the mindset of the attacking American soldiers. I apologize. It really didn't occur to me that there would be that kind of problem from a potential reader. Anyway, it has been taken down and I'm sure you probably figured as much out by now, regardless.

Now, I will go ahead & stop editing for a time. Other than references I lifted from other pages (I admit, I did do that a lot, at first.) the vast majority of all the above resources are actually public documents which I was able to find and download through google searches-- with the exception of Wind Eagle, Lakota Myth & Dakota Star Map, those three being physical books I own, and Lakota Society, which I borrowed from a Library. So, If you want them in order to double check, they are there. But, I will note that, for whatever reason, the Forward for the digital copy of Catawba Texts comes separately from the rest of the book. This does not, however, mean that all information I have added is factual. I will admit that I could have made further mistakes. If anyone has any further questions, go ahead & ask, but it may take a few days for me to respond. Bobbotronica (talk) 15:06, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

On hard drive space...
We do not include hard drive space or other technical requires for video games, unless they are pointed out by third-party sources that they are important or unique. --M asem (t) 19:32, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

The reason I added is because the PS3 has limited hard drive space that cannot be expanded &, while it's easy enough to research file sizes of fully downloadable pieces off of the internet stores, it's really hard to find any info on how much space these games take up on your hard drive, so it makes determining whether or not the games will fit difficult. Also, the file sizes tend to be oddly erratic & hard to guess. I bought an RPG that only requires 16MB, & a point-&-click game that requires 4GB. You know. I wish I had this info to go on, I'd assume others do too. But, it doesn't say on Wikipedia, fan wikis, store ads, old press bulletins. Nothing. Bobbotronica (talk) 19:46, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to this article! I kindly ask that you proofread them and conform them to the Manual of Style. Ampersands are inappropriate in article text, as are casual abbreviations ("N & S America" should be "North and South America"; we have plenty of room here and abbreviations are unencyclopedically colloquial). Common names of plants should not be capitalized; "Buffalo Gourd" should be "buffalo gourd" (or, at the beginning of a sentence or list item, "Buffalo gourd").

 * I was having trouble finding direct access to the reliable information brought up in the sources I used, but if someone can help me find the specific Pennsylvania Gazette article for the Owens family &/ or the service record for Henry Delay, it would be helpful. Pretty much all that info seems to have been tracked down by independant, professional geneologists rather than the descendants of those families themselves & then just arbitrarily spread by said descendants, once they got their hands on it. The trouble is, the sources were brought up- sometimes even shown- but never actually cited. For instance, the constant name alterations of the Delay family has been documented long before Henry Delay even existed & there are even more known variations that his family line never used. Delay is unique, but I can't even find much evidence of a Delay famil existing too much further before Henry, nor can I find any Duley while Henry Delay or his father, or his immedate children existing in the entirety of what is now West Virginia, but there are Duleys before that, in Maryland & Virginia, & Duleys after that in West Virginia & Kentucky. Hope this makes sense &/ or helps out in the long run. Bobbotronica (talk) 00:33, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
