Talk:Kechewaishke/Comments
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The article does an excellent job showing how important this Chief was among the Ojibwe (rated "A" for WP:IPNA/Nish), but it still lacks how he was influential in the Anglo-Wisconsin circles (rated "B" for Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wisconsin).
- Discuss the impact of Treaty of Fond du Lac and the mineral explorations that affected Wisconsin.
- Discuss the impact of Treaty of St. Peters and the fostering of the lumber industry and its influences onto Wisconsin's state-hood.
- Discuss the impact of Indian lives Wisconsin had that lead to the 1849 petition to Washington, DC.
There are other issues, but their are not within the scope of Chief Buffalo article. CJLippert (talk) 21:22, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
I think it is ready for GA status, and I am going to nominate it and notify the proper boards. I still have a list of concerns if we want it to be a FA.
- Grammar- I gave it the once-over and spellcheck, but my construction and word choice is still a bit clunky. Someone who is good at copyeditting should go over it.
- MOS issues- I don't really know what is or isn't correct here.
- Flow of content- It sort of hits all the big events from written sources as a list, but doesn't spend as much time on Buffalo's personal life or early years. Names of wives and children, etc. would be nice. I'm not aware of sources though.
- Naming- I think Kechewaishke is allowed under WP:UE as it is used in English sources and is less ambiguous than Chief Buffalo. However, as Herbwag said, he is more widely known as Buffalo, and is called Buffalo throughout. A second opinion might be best on this. Great Buffalo might work though I like it less.
- Red links- All the ones that are left deserve articles, and my next project is to stub them.
Any other concerns before I nominate? Leo1410 (talk) 22:25, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
