Donehogawa
I had Donehogawa first. The reason I changed it to Häsanoan’da was because Morgan knew him well, and I figured that he would have it right. Maybe we need both. Peter Flass (talk) 21:23, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for these thoughts -- I guess I was thinking that if there are sufficient sources out there that use one or the other, maybe we do need both -- and on the page for Ely S. Parker it says Donehogawa ... seems reasonable that he would have been known by different names throughout his life, as with many other Native Americans. Thanks for all your work on this page, by the way! Sharp-shinned.hawk (talk) 21:31, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Iroquois festivals
I thought the mid-winter festival was important enough to deserve the extra verbiage. I'm done with this section now. My original thought was to create a separate article, maybe just for the one, or maybe Iroquois festivals. I'm on to sports now... Peter Flass (talk) 23:43, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited William Norris (CEO), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Westinghouse. 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Contemplative Higher Education Alliance for Research, Teaching, and Service


A tag has been placed on Contemplative Higher Education Alliance for Research, Teaching, and Service requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the.  DGG ( talk ) 01:53, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Re:Would like to discuss page deletion
I read your post. First a quick correction: A9 and A11 have nothing to do with your article, A9 is for non-notable musicians and A11 is for made up people or things from accounts who just want their 15 minutes of fame (or shame). The two you had were A7 and G11, the former for credible claim of signifigance, the latter for promotional or promotional leaning material. Looking at this from an admin perspective, the entire conference and event section screams promotional content to me because it looks like an attempt to demonstrate that we can join in on these conference which in turn suggests you're looking to drum up support, which is supported by the facebook link and the general absence of citations in that section anyway. Gutting that leaves the intro, the publications, and the collaboration sections, but the publication section is uncited and the collab section is another list of what looks to an admin like advertisementy stuff (here's who we work with and so forth in that vien). Subtract those two sections and all thats left is the intro, and there I see nothing that suggests credible claims of significance beyond being somehow associated with two universities. Thats why I deleted on both A7 and G11 grounds. TomStar81 (Talk) 11:15, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

This is helpful, User:TomStar81, thank you! It is useful to think about "what would be left if parts were deleted." This will help me when I have future cause to consider creating Wikipedia pages. FWIW, I'm a pretty analytical person, and I appreciate the need for structure and policy. Yet the 'speedy deletion' process was new to me and it didn't feel good. I wish that there had been more direct communication / personal interaction before the page was flagged, or *at least* before it was deleted, especially since I had made edits and was trying to work on it. I have appreciated that in the past when I've made new pages or made edits that weren't quite in line with policy. I know that is more time consuming, but I feel this would support the more inclusive environment Wikipedia is striving for. Thanks again for your work in making this a better space!

Missing cite in Alice Lee Jemison
The article cites "Frankson 2014" but no such source is listed in the bibliography. Can you please add? Also, suggest installing a script to highlight such errors in the future. All you need to do is copy and paste importScript('User:Svick/HarvErrors.js'); // Backlink: User:Svick/HarvErrors.js to your common.js page. Thanks, Renata (talk) 02:31, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
