There is a discussion taking place at Talk:Lily Gladstone#Request for comment on Native in the lead that this Wiki-project may be interested in. --ARoseWolf 13:40, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

I nominated Senedo people for deletion, if anyone cares to weigh in at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Senedo people. Yuchitown (talk) 21:02, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Yuchitown

A discussion is taking place at CfD that this Wiki-project may be interested in. --15:52, 16 January 2024 (UTC) ARoseWolf 15:52, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Not to get in a long discussion but what would you suggest as the wording, Yuchitown? Btw, I agree the wording is odd as it is. --ARoseWolf 15:08, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Seeing the other's editor's link to WP:INDIGENOUS, I'll just use that link moving forward. Yuchitown (talk) 21:02, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Yuchitown

I had that in my speedy nomination. It was completely disregarded so I brought it to full discussion. --ARoseWolf 12:09, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for doing that. Yuchitown (talk) 14:55, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Yuchitown

Hoping to get some more input on the discussion at Talk:Fort Albany First Nation#Merge proposal - it began as a proposal to merge the stub Battle of Fort Albany (1693), and has led to some discussion about how Wikipedia should address shared European colonial and Indigenous history. I feel it may have implications for other articles on First Nations. James Hyett (talk) 15:24, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Lead:The tribe has about 16,000 members. Further down In the 21st century, the federally recognized Osage Nation has approximately 20,000 enrolled members Doug Weller talk 11:20, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Editors are welcome to give their input at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wolastoq. I commented that the article should be rewritten to include Native history and the response is that is a "land acknowledgment" and isn't allowed on Wikipedia per Talk:Coquitlam#RfC_about_First_Nations_land_acknowledgement.  oncamera  _{(talk page)} 22:46, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

There's a lot of vitriol over there. So far, I have the only "keep" vote. Yuchitown (talk) 14:57, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Yuchitown

Merged to Saint John River. You know this of course, just for the record. Doug Weller talk 11:21, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

An editor has twice mass-removed notable entries from List of Native Americans of the United States. I attempted to restore the entries [1] but was reverted by this editor in their second mass-removal [2]. This may be of interest to this Wikiproject. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 17:54, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. Many of the people this person has removed are notable and have many sources in their respective article. I don't know what exactly their issue is with it. They even removed highly notable figures like Deb Haaland, Tecumseh, Sequoyah, and many more notable and easily verifiably Native figures. PersusjCP (talk) 18:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

I’ve given them a warning for disruptive editing. If they continue I suggest going to ANI. Doug Weller talk 19:01, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

PersusjCP, my concern is not about the notability of these people but rather the verifiability of their belongingness to the group. Adding unsourced entries to such lists isn't a healthy practice. There is always a strong possibility that some editors put wrong entries. As such lists become exceedingly large with unsourced entries, it becomes more difficult to scrutinize them. I am adding unsourced section templates for now. Dympies (talk) 00:59, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Should definitely be sourced WP:LISTVERIFY..... but that said it shouldn't be hard to transfer over some sources from main articles over blanking. Moxy- 03:28, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

In 2009, the tribe filed for federal restoration. On 25 July 2013 a hearing was held in San Jose, California in the federal court of U.S. District Court Judge Edward Davila. The claim was denied citing that the statute of limitations was exceeded. John Trippo family (talk) 03:54, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi all, I'm considering splitting History of tattooing into a separate article on indigenous and traditional tattooing practices. Given the size of the article, it doesn't feel very readable and I think having a separate page would allow people to expand on the contemporary practices of these traditions. I'm alerting some of the WikiProjects attached to the article; please let me know if you have any concerns or objections to this idea :) ForsythiaJo (talk) 03:27, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
