Coast Tsimshian => Sm'algyax language
Hi; just saw your addition to the Coast Tsimshian page, which as per information on Tsimshian, where Tsimshian language currently redirects to, is an inappropriate title (even if "Coast Tsimshian" is still in use by non-Tsimshian linguists...). Please see Talk:Coast Tsimshian and Talk:Tsimshian. I'm a regular edit/contributor within Indigenous peoples of North America WikiProject, and among the project's ongoing efforts is to clearly delineate and organize separation/coordination of language articles from ethno/people articles and also separately government/band articles and community/IR articles. So since you appear to be a linguist, and must have Coast Tsimshian on your watchlist, I'm reaching out to confer with you on the necessary changes. The best name to use for a separate language article would be Sm'algax language or Tsimshian language; even this article, even if "Coast Tsimshian" were appropriate (and, again, according to Tsimshian people it's not) should be "Coast Tsimshian language", as (if the name were correct) the naming standard would be that "Coast Tsimshian" without any modifier would be a people/ethno article; the Coast Tsimshian article/title would remain, but as a redirect either to a Tsimshian disambiguation page, or directly to the ethno/people Tsimshian article....Skookum1 01:14, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Adrian Jacobsen
I was looking at your additions to Jesup North Pacific Expedition and George Hunt and saw the redlink to Adrian Jacobsen. I can find one referece to him in Drawing Shadows to Ston (as 'Captain J. Adrian Jacobsen'), and he is mentioned in the abstract to |this paper from the Polar Record, but I don't have any further details about his connection to the expedition. Could you note down here any sources you know about? Thanks! -- Ngio 19:27, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Kirk Dombrowski
A tag has been placed on Kirk Dombrowski, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Hatch68 19:44, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Canadian First Nations stubs
I've just done a stub-sorting run through Category:First Nations artists and related categories & noticed a lot of articles by yourself; it would help if for the shorter articles you could tag them with NorthAm-native-stub (at the very end, after the categories), as it makes it easier for other people with an interest in the area to keep track of which articles could do with expanding —  irides centi   (talk to me!)  15:31, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Mary Lee Stearns
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Mary Lee Stearns, because another editor is suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add db-author to the top of the page. —Ruud 17:24, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
