Major copyright violations edit

Sadly, most of that excellent content was cut & pasted from other articles on the web:

Since all of the user's substantial edits that I've looked at so far are also copy vio, and lacking anything to indicate original authorship or licensability, We've got to do a total reversion. Ouch, it was a good-looking article... I'll note the user page and I'll try to get the user to read WP:C --studerby 18:50, 6 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hidatsa peopleHidatsa – Target title is currently only redirect to current title, created on March 10, 2010 by Kwami in moving "Hidatsa" to "Hidatsa people", saying only "dab". The standalone title had stood since the first version of the article by Alexwcovington on June 27, 2004, around six years of stability at that title before it was arbitrarily moved. As per closures of similar RMs in recent days by Cuchulainn and others, "consensus has spoken" that the people are the PRIMARYTOPIC, as stated by him here re the Northern Tutchone title. Guidelines such as Wikipedia:Article titles#Use commonly recognizable names and the guideline Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes) call for this move, as does WP:Conciseness and WP:Precision, WP:NCDAB and more.

Support as per the others. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 08:01, 12 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. In cases where the requested move simply eliminates the word "people", and the destination title is already a simple redirect to the current title, it is clear that guidelines favoring both precision and conciseness support the move. Xoloz (talk) 02:12, 17 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Road Maker, or Aríìhiriš, a 19th-century Hidatsa chief.

The Hidatsa are Siouan people. Hidatsa are enrolled in the federally recognized Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. Their language is related to that of the Crow, and they are sometimes considered a parent tribe to the modern Crow in Montana.Illustration: Karl Bodmer; restoration: Chris Woodrich

I feel the article has a large amount of good information, but could use some cleaning up. Some aditions may need to be added also. Also needs the table template. This definitley is not a start page, nor an A Class. This is why I feel a B-Class suite's this page. User:Shy1520 August 4, 2006
  • Note: This user is referring to an older version of the article, which was a copyvio on the user's part. That information was removed 2 days after the above message. The page as it stands now is defnitely not B-class yet. The fact that it's somewhat short, and not divided into sections, are not my real concern; rather, the article cites references in-line, in a standard academic style, with the author's last name and date of publication. But no references section exists, and readers have no way of knowing what reference a citation is supposed to be referring to. That's a serious problem, enough to make me confident in classifying this as a stub rather than a start artice. --Miskwito 02:46, 30 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
