Miwok change edit

Can you please explain why you keep changing the very explicit "miwok" to the very generic & not very informative "native american" in the Yosemite National Park article? I'm baffled. Elf | Talk 21:53, 7 September 2005 (UTC)Reply


I am a Yosemite Indian. Most people believe that Yosemite Indians were Miwoks, but the majority of the Yosemite Indians were actually Paiute.

If you read the "Discussion" I have added the proof where Bunnell writes that Chief Tenaya, himself, stated that Tenaya's father was from a total different tribe of Indians then any in the surrounding area. In other words he was not Miwok, Paiute, Washo, Maidu, or Yokut.

So as a Yosemite Indian who knowns our peoples real background it should be designated as "Native American".

Thanks. I'm glad you decided to pick a user name; communication is so much easier and you no longer look like a random "vandal". It's interesting, the difference of info--I believe that most of this came from either the brochures at yosemite park or the yosemite park history sites. You'd think they'd know-- Elf | Talk 17:02, 8 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

The problem with the brochures[1] that were done by the Yosemite Park service are actually wrong. The person who has been in charge of the Yosemite Musuem,[2] Indian research, and Yosemite library was married to Miwok women and has a son with her. He has been in charge of that department for 30 years and we believe that his research is biased towards the Miwok point of view instead of using the original written accounts.

If you scroll down on this site you will see the Yosemite Indian expert dressed in Miwok regalia.

Image Tagging Image:Cui-ui.jpg edit

 
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Cui-ui.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 00:30, 30 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Bill Bolton page 2.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Bill Bolton page 2.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
