View comments (edit) [edit] Stub? Would this article still be considered a stub? There's much more to be said, sure...but this seems like a good start.Nareek 03:19, 20 January 2006 (UTC) [edit] To do to improve I agree this is a good start. For cues, I think looking at the lengthy Ojibwa article would be good. Whatever that is said here, if applicable to either the Anishinaabe article or to the Council of Three Fires article, should be reflected there as well. So, what specifically to do to improve? pre-contact history history since contact known early contact bands known early modern bands contemporary bands — this part is done re-arrange article section to be a bit more smooth flowing improve the historical location information improve the contemporary location information social structure of the Potawatomi communities totem family traditional and major non-traditional faith systems effects of boarding schools Indian Removal Policy and its effect onto the Potawatomi communities language — sectional summary of the article exists but we need some example provided common contemporary issues all (or most) Potawatomi communities are facing a "See also" with links to: famous Potawatomi leaders and other famous Potawatomi places named after, named by or named with the Potawatomi treaties and law — start of this already exists better referencing CJLippert 18:31, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Spelt and spelled are irregular verbs. After I edited it I went on a bit of hunt for references on their use, and it seems their is a difference in use between the U.S. and U.K.. Being Australian I have a bias for the U.K. English, but I understand that this is a predominantly U.S. site, so I have no issue with the revert. It was interesting to find out the different direcions the two forms of English have taken. --Randolph 00:48, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

The Boodewaadamiiyag are divided between those communities in Canada and those communities in the United States, with majority in the United States. However, due to this split and British English orthographies being quite common in both Wisconsin and Michigan, I don't think the issue of English orthography should even be an issue, as long as the article is consistent in its orthographic scheme.

Since this article is on the American Indian tribe, the standard American English "spelled" should be used, in my opinion. --BaronLarf 01:35, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
