[edit] To do to improve
- Reformat to improve readability
- Whose daughter did he marry? Do we know her name?
- Why was he imprisoned in Detroit for spying? Was this a factual allegation or something drummed up against him?
- What ever happened to him and his family? Where "west" did they go?
[edit] Kudos!
Excellent! So few people know about the shameful way duSable was treated by those who promoted Kinzie as the "first resident of Chicago." Ortolan88
I do hate to make trouble, but I think it's actually Pointe du Sable; and his given name should preferably be hyphenated Jean-Baptiste (this at least is the contemporary French use). Unless there's a compelling reason not to, I think we should move this page to Jean-Baptiste Pointe du Sable. QuartierLatin1968 17:11, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
PS: There are 1,700 google hits for "Pointe du Sable" (in quotes) against 782 for "Point du Sable", and that of course includes Wikipedia lookalikes. You have to use quotes because 'point' is of course a common English word in its own right; otherwise you'll get hits along the lines of "I want to make a point about sable hunting".
So what the hell did he even do to get his own article? The article doesn't say. ~ Flameviper Who's a Peach? 23:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:DuSable2.jpg
Image:DuSable2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
