"Former countries" infobox added to prehistoric Florida ethnic groups and village sites

[edit]

Since you have edited a number of these articles in the past, whats your opinion on adding the infobox for "former countries" to ethnic, tribal and village organizations in the late prehistoric, protohistoric and early historic Florida and southeastern region? Another editor has begun adding the infobox (which I disagree with) to a number of these articles, sometimes removing and replacing other infoboxes in the process. ( see Tacatacuru revision history, Uzita (Florida), Pohoy , Tocobaga) The editor, User:Mangokeylime, seems to have a thing for infoboxes. Per our recent interactions (User:Mangokeylime#Mound Builders box and Talk:Mississippian culture#Mound Builders navbox) I'd rather have some neutral parties knowledgeable of the subjects to weigh in with their opinions rather than me jumping in unilaterally on this issue. Thanks, and kind regards, Heiro 03:16, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree that the infox is inappropriate and plainly inaccurate. Trying to formulate a response. I don't understand the unwillingness to acknowledge there is an entire academic system of classifications and definitions that are well established - trying to equate those ancient peoples as "countries" is so off base.Parkwells (talk) 04:00, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've added discussion of why the "nations infobox" (for simplicity's sake) was removed to the Talk pages of articles about the Uzita, Pohoy, and Tocobaga, as well as to Mangokeylime's Talk page, encouraging more learning about the academic conventions and classifications related to the archeological and historical cultures of indigenous peoples. So now I realize I have a question, after having added "ethnic group" infoboxes to many articles about historic Native American tribes. Are these infoboxes also used for the articles on people classified as chiefdoms, such as the three under discussion above? Can't remember. Such groups were documented in the historic period, and articles sometimes note when they disappeared from the historic record.Parkwells (talk) 16:46, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've always seen them used here for tribal groups. I tend to stick to mostly NA stuff, generally the prehistoric stuff but it sometimes bleeds into the historic with groups like the Taensa which was at least a simple chiefdom (defined as such in one of my sources), and the Natchez who were a paramount chiefdom (pretty sure I saw a source for that recently as well). I've never seen one that fits better than the ethnic box and it's used for both. It would probably be appropriate to add them to any of those articles if they do not already have them, if that's what your asking. As per Mangokeylime, he just seems to really really like adding infoboxes (see the quote he added to his userpage after I started these discussions [1]) to articles. That seems to be the vast majority of his recent edits. And discussions with him about it seem to brickwall pretty fast, see User:Mangokeylime#Mound Builders box, lol. After that I decided to give up discussing (arguing? talking around it endlessly while feeling like you are getting nowhere?) it with him one on one and enlist other neutral opinions and get a consensus. And thanks re the props for Taensa. I hadn't meant to be that extensive but sorta got sucked in. Which sucked me into sorting out the Plaquemine culture out a bit, although that one could still use an extensive rewrite and addition of materials. Unfortunately finding material on it is difficult. It's not as well known as Mississippian and most of the material is scattered throughout individual papers and unpublished thesis', etc. As far as I know there is only one book dedicated to the subject, they say so in the introduction, haha (and the main editor and archaeologist happens to live in the same town as me but I've never ran into him. Would love to sit and discuss it with him some time, but alas). And it wasn't published until a few years ago. Maybe I'll get serious about it one day. Heiro 17:45, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also, re the "nation state" or "state" argument in general in NA archaeo and history. Cahokia, the largest site north of Mexico, huge population, extensive influence over the eastern part of the continent, etc. And it's still a major issue with some professionals wanting to define it as a "state" and others disagreeing that it had reached that level of political structuring. There is no way the professionals would describe a few tiny villages in coastal Florida as a "state' or "country" as we use the term in English. Heiro 17:50, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cherokee citizen categories

[edit]

Hi - Apologies for putting this on this page, but I am asking for people knowledgeable about Cherokee citizenship and tribal law to weigh in on a discussion of certain Cherokee categories. I'm not asking you to support my proposal, but just for the discussion to have informed contributions. The discussion is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_March_30#Category:Cherokee_people. Also, I'm not very active on Wki these days and don't know many Native American Wikipedians - would appreciate it if you would be willing to suggest others who might join in the discussion.

Hi, I've started reading that, but am in the middle of my own large project. I am supporting the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, AL, by adding content about lynchings in each of the five counties in each state with the highest # of lynchings, per Lynching in America (2017 supplement, 3rd edition) by the Equal Justice Initiative. I am going to finish that first.Parkwells (talk) 14:45, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nice. By the way, if you are able to retrieve the names of all the lynching victims in Middle Tennessee from them, I could try to create more articles about specific lynchings there.Zigzig20s (talk) 15:20, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The EJI published a Supplement: Lynching by County (this can be found online), which I'm using. It only identifies totals. So I have also conducted Google searches of lynchings by named county, and finding other documentation of names and incidents. In some cases, contemporary newspaper accounts are online, but scholarly sources are better. I have not listed all of the victims by name in these articles, because in the worst states, the list is much too long. There are many other sources which you will find by searching. Especially since the publication of the EJI first report in 2015, some states or other jurisdictions, and major newspapers in those states have published their own reports by name. Here is one that documented lynchings of the 1940s: http://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/pds/maai3/segregation/text2/lynchingcrime.pdf. This includes: June 22, 1940: At Brownsville, Haywood County, Tennessee. Elbert Williams, Negro. Charge, attempting to qualify to vote - “Interest in Negro affairs.” Murdered and body thrown into the Hatchie River."Parkwells (talk) 15:55, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I wish they would add the names on their website. In Middle Tennessee, I have created a few: Lynching of David Jones, Lynching of Amos Miller, Lynching of Ephraim Grizzard, Lynching of Samuel Smith. Someone else created Lynching of Samuel Bierfield a while back. But there must be more--if we know the names, I can retrieve more RS on Newspapers.com to create new articles.Zigzig20s (talk) 16:12, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You may pick up names by reading the full EJI report, which sometimes goes into details. The TN Encyclopedia online has a lengthy article on lynchings, and there are a variety of other sources. It would be better not to rely only on newspapers. Also, the website for the National Memorial for Peace and Justice may list the names. The memorial is made up of structural elements on which are engraved the names of victims by county, when known- a separate hanging steel piece for each county.Parkwells (talk) 16:20, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
EJI reported a total of five lynchings in Williamson Co, TN, so you could search by county. That's where Samuel SMith was from.Parkwells (talk) 18:00, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've created Lynching of Jo Reed--the suspension bridge was probably the same as the one used for the Lynching of David Jones, but we would need an RS.Zigzig20s (talk) 17:54, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Have edited it to make more neutral in tone, reorganize to put some of that content in the body, and noted that every award needs cites. If the editor can't bother to do that, I'm ready to delete the material. Added notes to the article Talk page. See what you think.Parkwells (talk) 15:49, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Joseph Samuel Clark

[edit]

On 13 July 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Joseph Samuel Clark, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Joseph Samuel Clark turned down Herbert Hoover's offer to serve as the United States Ambassador to Liberia in 1931 to remain the president of Southern University? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Joseph Samuel Clark. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Joseph Samuel Clark), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Grace who?

[edit]

Grace who? If it helps a bit, later in section Ossian_Sweet#Trial there is

Several days before that, on October 6, Gladys Sweet was released on bail provided by friends of her parents.

Now I can understand your confusion, since that isn't mentioned when the comment about "the men" is made. Even more confusing to me is mentions of eleven people and eight people and so forth. How many people were arrested and how many on trial at each trial. I can't tell from the article. Shenme (talk) 04:01, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your comments. I added the date when Gladys Sweet was released on bail and have tried to clarify other sections. The sources are confusing. There were eight people to be tried in the second trial. It appears that charges were dropped against three people, of the eleven arrested, before the first trial. Have been traveling, but still trying to figure it out.Parkwells (talk) 18:29, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"The chapter “Justice for Sam Faulkner” might have been ripped from today’s headlines. It tells the story of the 1927 murder of an innocent 20-year-old African-American man in his sister’s home near Central Avenue at the hands of two rogue officers of the LAPD.". Perhaps we could create Shooting of Sam Faulkner?Zigzig20s (talk) 14:51, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe, will have to see what else I can find. The book has pages blocked out online. The two officers who shot him were black, by the way, among the first African Americans hired by the LAPD, so it's a complex story. Parkwells (talk) 14:13, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mendon, Michigan

[edit]

The history of high school football in this small town is really remarkable. And it was at least in part, documented. I'm sorry I cannot remember the year, but in the late 80's/early 90's, I was a volunteer firefighter in nearby Vicksburg. On one of the trips to Pontiac for the state championship, literately everyone in town went to the game. We came down and covered the firehouse so the firefighters could go. They won, and we took the pumper out to the county line, the team got on it, and we had an impromptu parade when they came back. This was covered on television by channel 41 out of Battle Creek and written up in the Kalamazoo Gazette, The Battle Creek Enquirer, and I believe the South Bend, Indiana paper. Thanks for writing about this. I really gotta get around to doing an article on the school. However, I am now far far away from the libraries in that area.

Regarding your addition of Olivia Davidson under notable people from Gallipolis, Ohio, is there a specific mention of her spending a significant portion of her life in Gallipolis? Or is she connected to the area only in passing? It would be good if she had some substantial connection or contribution to the area. I ask since I do not have access to the source you have cited. N. Jain (talk to me) 15:18, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

She lived with her sister and brother-in-law for a time and attended some high school there, getting certified to teach. Her family had moved to the free state of Ohio from Virginia in order to escape racial discrimination against free blacks. Gallipolis had a historic African-American community at this time, made up of both free and refugee blacks.Parkwells (talk) 17:20, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

The article List of people of self-identified Cherokee ancestry has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

List which can never be complete, does not discuss a defining feature, self-identification is often disputed and can rarely, if ever, be satisfactorily proven or disproven - this renders us having to deal with nuanced, inconclusive literary arguments in a listicle format.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 07:01, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of people of self-identified Cherokee ancestry is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people of self-identified Cherokee ancestry until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 19:24, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sumner County, Tennessee

[edit]

Hello! I apologize for the long message—this is my first time talking to another editor, and I want to make sure that I communicate my suggested edit well.

I recently read the Sumner County, Tennessee article, and I noticed it said that Sumner County is the second oldest county in the state. I have looked at the editing history for this article, and it appears that you added this information on December 27, 2018. Based on my research, it appears that Sumner County is the fifth or sixth oldest county in the state after the following: Washington Co. (1777); Sullivan Co. (1779); Greene Co. (1783); Davidson Co. (1783); and possibly Hawkins (1787).

Since there is some murkiness concerning whether it is the fifth or sixth oldest, I would like to delete this part of the sentence.

I could not find the Senate date of passage on the third and final reading for the bill dividing Davidson Co. (creating Sumner Co.), possibly because the last pages of the journal are missing: https://docsouth.unc.edu/csr/index.php/document/csr18-0001
  3. ^ According to the 1786-7 North Carolina House of Commons Journal, the House passed the bill dividing Sullivan Co.
