Wikipedia:Peer review/Economics of the Iroquois/archive1
(Self-nomination) This article covers much of the information available on the subject, while not incredibly long. The article also covers an important area (Native Americans) that Wikipedia often neglects, so getting a FA article in the area would be useful. All facts are referenced and several relevant images are included in the article.--Bkwillwm 00:33, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
- Very nice article! We definitely need more article on Native American subject. I'm just about to go to bed, but I wanted to make a few suggestions. I'll read the article thoroughly tomorrow and make some more comments. I think you can certainly enlarge the pictures. They all seem too small especially Champlain's view of the deer hunt and the engraving of the fishing scene. Both are almost too small to make out without viewing a larger version. I would also suggest using a citation system similar to the one I used in my FA on the Mandan people of North Dakota. It simply makes for easier viewing and it's not difficult to implement. The introduction does not give anything in terms of actual dates that this article covers; I find the issue of the time period that this article covers to be a bit vague. The title of books in Reference should be italicized. Overall this is a very nice looking article and it certainly covers an important subject! *Exeunt* Ganymead Dialogue? 06:43, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
- Ok, I have looked at the article more closely. It's very well written and readable. I think you should include some of the history of the Iroquois Confederacy. Just enough so that the reader can understand this subject in a historical context without having to follow links. It seems that there is very little on the modern economy that should definitely be included. Keep up the good work! *Exeunt* Ganymead Dialogue? 06:04, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Wikipedia doesn't "neglect" anything, because Wikipedia is not a being. It is the product of choices made by individuals who volunteer to write and edit articles. Feel free to produce more articles on Native Americans and encourage others to do the same.Logophile 14:23, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
- Convert notes to Wikipedia:Footnotes. Add some more ilinks (European contact, linguistic group, cultural customs... - all of those should have their own articles). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 19:01, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
