The names "Taylaynee", "Molnah" and "Koonay" are among those taken from the historic fiction written by the late Allan W. Eckert. Any time they appear in a wiki page, it should be a dead giveaway that someone is using a fiction novel as a source for writing about historical events.

This entry is based entirely on the historical fiction written by Allan W. Eckert. It should be removed or replace with non-fiction accounts or sources.--TruthBastion (talk) 23:22, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Eckert's novels are good entertainment, but not appropriate source material for encyclopedia articles. —Kevin Myers 23:50, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the novel as the referenced source, but the article remains in need of clean up. 140.139.35.250 (talk) 20:51, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
