Notes

Hi Neillsandison, I have some quick notes for you.

The first is that you need to be careful about how you attribute claims, as things like "it is said" are too vague. The issue is this: who said it and what were their qualifications? Is it a rumor? Something that was passed down from generation to generation? If it's the source author making these claims you can say "According to Hugh Dempsey" or something along those lines. You may also wish to re-write the sentences to remove the "it is said" portions.

The second note is that the article could use more sourcing since it looks like only two people have really written about Maskepetoon, so it would be good to find more coverage to show a better depth of coverage for him. Academic database and print sources are best, but online sourcing like this is also usable, since it's attached to two prestigious universities and several well respected programs. This can help flesh out the article a bit more.

Other than that, this looks like a good start. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:51, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
