[edit] Transformers (xxx)

I don't know what to put in the brackets to disambig that title - Transformers goes to, well, a big disambiguation page, currently missing these guys....if there's any of us regulars who's equipped to write such an article, it'd be you; I know some of the Sto:lo and St'at'imc stories, and recently found an Upper Nlaka'pamux or Secwepemc version of their journey into the Marble Canyon/Pavilion area very different from the one told from the Lillooet side....). Obviously the stories vary from people to people, but a general article is more than needed; it is de rigeur because of hte importance of these figtures; if Transformer Stone hasn't been written yet that's another wrothy one. I know I know you've got too much work already; sorry; no rush on these just figuring you're the one equipped to write or at least start/frame them properly.Skookum1 (talk) 21:27, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

How about Transformers (mythology)? Are there more Transformer Stones (one being Chimney Rock (Canada))?--Qyd (talk) 16:24, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

There are literally thousands, if you add them all up across the peoples of the region....Skookum1 (talk) 13:36, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

This article displays on my computer (WinXP running Firefox) as "Sḵwxwú7mesh history". I assume it's not supposed to have a number 7 in the middle - do I need a special font or something? Just curious, the page came up doing a search for "Serpent trail". Pterre (talk) 17:41, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

No Sḵwxwú7mesh history is correct. The 7 is a glottal stop used in phonetics. I believe it's a ? in the IPA. OldManRivers (talk) 18:55, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pre-Contact section

Coluld youadd something about ties to the Nooksack and Shishalh, also something about "Euclataws", Haida etc raids?Skookum1 (talk) 13:34, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reverse name change

I tried to do that with my recent undo, but the name-move didn't undo itself; I know there are Wiki procedures against immediate moves back, but I also know page moves/renames are discussed on talkpages before going ahead. There has been LONg discussion about the appropriate names for Skwxwhu7mesh ethno articles, and other indigenous people articles in BC and Wiki-wide. I'll investigate later the procedure for undoing page renames, especially unconsulted non-consensual ones; but for now I'm having dinner and will go about my day. Please be more moderate in your edits and learn what's up; I notice that your accoutn is ENTIRELY new and only focussed on Skwxwu7mesh articles. That alone calls into question your right to perform name changes.Skookum1 (talk) 21:16, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
