[edit] North America
Why you erased my edits in the North America article?, I fixed it, or the point is that you are treating North America as Northern America, this is not a UN article, they are posted many sources where you can check or verify about the North America geography, you are using 1 source vs many sources of information, you can leave Central America and the Caribbean as an independent article, but not grouping Mexico in Central America, is so offensive.
Wikipedia is free information source for all the people, the current version of North America is not the most accurate, the wikipedia articles must been wrote under a neutral point of view and this article is not, I feel a hidden racism inside it. Jcmenal 14:58, 14 September 2006 (PST)

[edit] GA review of Augustus Jones
I've reviewed the article and left notes on the talk page. I've put the nomination on hold for seven days to allow the issues to be addressed. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, here, or on the article talk page with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.

[edit] Wikinfo
I would like to move Wikinfo into the project namespace, which seemed to have some support. Most did not comment on the idea of moving it, but it would make for an appropriate project page, such as Wikipedia:Semapedia or Wikipedia:Wikipe-tan, both of which started life in the article namespace. -- Ned Scott 23:10, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wahbanosay
Everything I've seen says Eagle totem (doodem) not Bear. Do you have some reason for thinking this? You might be right - his daughter was Eagle, and unthinking writers might've back-inferred wrongly. WilyD 02:46, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Deeds/Nations (online source), along with several paper records I have access to, all say Waabanose signed with a nooke doodem, rather than a migizi doodem. Peter Jones, with a Gichi-mookomaan father would be a migizi-doodem, but his mother would have the same doodem as her father Waabanose.... And anyway, if she were migizi-doodem and married Augustus Jones, who in the eyes of the Anishinaabeg were considered a migizi-doodem, then their two sons would be social outcasts, banished completely from the Anishinaabe culture, as both sons would have been considered a product of an incestuous relationship. However, historically, we know neither Peter or John were social outcasts. CJLippert (talk) 03:09, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hmmm. I see several sources say Tuhbenahneequay (Dapinanikwe?, "Woman who Slays Things"?) was a migizi-doodem... including the Deeds/Nation. As I don't have any records of her (other than what I can find on the internet), I connot confirm if she is nor not.
However, if she really were the daughter of Waabanose, she would have been listed as nooke-doodem. Since I do have records that Waabanose was nooke-doodem, I wonder if someone extrapolated from Peter Jones to his mother to her father to derive the doodem, breaking the Anishinaabe idea of a doodem in which the child always have the same doodem as the father, and only in extremely rare exceptions (such as in mass adoption, which their doodem designation would be a Waabizheshi-doodem (marten clan)) do that rule ever gets bent.CJLippert (talk) 05:16, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

- There's a copy of Wahbanosay's signature from the Toronto Purchase on page 91 of "Sacred Feathers:..." book. Certainly looks like a pictogram of an eagle, not a bear, to me. I'll try and put a copy of it into the Wahbanosay article for your inspection. In the meanwhile, is it not possible that John and Peter Jones inherited their doodem from their mother because their father was not considered a member of any doodem? I'm not sure I've seen any indication Augustus Jones was ... but I don't know the culture to be able to comment. WilyD 11:50, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- I think the problem here is that there are two separate chiefs by this name, both Missisaugas, but one of the nooke-doodem (fl. 1778-1816) and another of the migizi-doodem (fl. 1778-1806). It does appear that I was looking at the wrong Chief Waabanose, and Peter Jones' maternal grandfather was that of the migizi-doodem. However, still, no. Peter Jones' doodem is migizi not because he go that from his mother; doodem system does not work that way as the Anishinaabe doodem is patrilineal. Peter Jones's doodem is migizi because his father was a gichi-mookomaan. If Augustus Jones were instead Canadian-born, he would have been identified as nesawaakwaad-doodem (forked-tree clan). I will fix the article, but this also means sometime in the future, the article will need to have an associated disambiguation page. CJLippert (talk) 15:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thinking about this a bit more, though Peter Jones and Waabanose (thus Tuhbenahneequay as well) are both indicated as "Eagle clan," they're of differing Eagle clans. Waabanose is an Alight-Eagle clan (according to the signature), while my guess is that Peter Jones would be a Spread-Eagle clan, as Spread-Eagle clan is the designation of those whose father are American-born. In addition to these two, there are the Gliding-Eagle clan and the War-Eagle clan that are simply called "Eagle clan" as well. CJLippert (talk) 16:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] John Jones
In the Augustus Jones article, under "Family life" section, there is a sentence that don't quite sound right regarding John Jones' name. Since the name is Mohawk, and not Anishinaabe, whatever way the name was recorded would have been the best sound mapping into Mississauga Ojibwe, but then transcribed into English. In the Fiero spelling, my guess is that "Tyenteneged" (to approximate how the Mohawk Tyendinaga would sound to the Anishinaabeg) would be Dayendiniged, which would be a gerund from of an Anishinaabe non-sense verb dendinige (vai), a de-transitive form of another non-sense verb dendim (vta), meaning "to 'dend' someone (by speech)" or "to orally 'dend' someone", with an explanation of this non-sense 'dend' describe both dende ("bullfrog") as a "that which dends" or a dendesii ("bluejay" in Mankiwaki Algonquin for what the rest of Anishinaabe communities call diindiisii) as a "bird that dends". A good Minnesota example of a similar situation is with Dakota name Máza-máni ("Ironwalker"), which is recorded in Ojibwe as Moozomaanay. It was recorded in English as "Mazomanie" with an Ojibwe explanation of a "maanay Moose"... but maanay would be an Anishinaabe non-sense word, sometime further turned into an English word "many" just so that the explanation makes sense in English, but "many moose" in Ojibwe is moozokaa, not moozomaanay.

[edit] Deleted GraalOnline article maliciously recreated secretly in german...
The GraalOnline article that was deleted due to WP:WEB, NPOV, and other issues noted in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/GraalOnline has been secretly reposted at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graal_Online , with little to no changes except for the language translation... The English page was nearly unanimously voted for removal and barring any significant changes should not be allowed back in any language... Vipercat (talk) 22:20, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for creating Image:KnowledgeOfEnglishPercentOfPopulationWithSubdivisions.PNG which is very helpful for List of countries by English-speaking population. As you can read on the image talk page, I have questioned whether the image is an accurate reflection of the stats you cited. Particularly, the image seems to show that 0% of citizens in Kenya and India can speak English. Cheers! Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 22:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
