I will begin reviewing this article and make straightforward changes as I go (explanations in edit summaries). Please revert any changes I make where I inadvertently change the meaning. I will post queries below. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:01, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have rearranged some of the paragraphs for flow. I'd be good to merge or expand some more, but this is challenging to do and not a deal-breaker for GA status.

Cittion needed in lede?

[edit]

Regaarding "He stood over 6 ft (1.83 m) tall and was known for his hunting prowess and his brutality toward bears and Indians.[citation needed]"

  • We don't require references in the lede as it is supposed to summarize the text blow.
  • the text related to Indians is at Seth_Kinman#Relations_with_Native_Americans
  • the text related to bears is widespread in the article. You can first look in the paragraph starting "Kinman made his name first as a hunter ..." and there is a ref just below that to The Ethics of Grizzly Hunting.[24] I checked the link and its still working. The text of the essay completely supports "was known for his hunting prowess and his brutality toward bears." And then some. Smallbones(smalltalk) 21:32, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
