Spelling - and quotes

[edit]

Hi, GJP. Have been slowly reading article between other tasks. "Accommodationist" is spelled with two m's. Also, I'm not sure I'd put it and "traditionalist" in quotes. I'd just leave the quotes off, or link to Wiktionary. Lightbreather (talk) 16:21, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ex parte

[edit]

I didn't know what Ex parte meant when I saw the article on the main page, it may be helpful to link this somewhere. I see no obvious place though, WP:BOLDTITLE discourages linking parts of the bolded page title, and "Ex parte Crow Dog is an ex parte decision […]" is pretty much the best I can do myself. :)

I came here with the same complaint and idea; I think this would be a valuable explanation for those of us who are unfamiliar with Latin legal terms. I presume the case was ex parte because one of the parties was deceased; if so, maybe it's also worth explaining that as well. Brad Baker (talk) 20:28, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. What does it mean? Even linking to the Wikipedia article does not help much. Is it ex parte because he was dead? Bad omission for a FA! --(AfadsBad (talk) 22:26, 8 October 2013 (UTC))[reply]
I can add some information to the article, but in the four previous reviews that the article has had, no one picked up on that. It was ex parte for the reasons stated in the article on ex parte:


I'll add a footnote. GregJackP Boomer! 23:33, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Even ex parte wasn't linked, though. I also think the term is technical enough that some reviewer should have brought it up. This is a general encyclopedia, not a law site. --(AfadsBad (talk) 23:48, 8 October 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Chart

[edit]

The chart under "tribal sovereignty" should be checked by someone who knows what's accurate or not. A row was deleted and one of the remaining columns was changed by User:Y around noon on Oct. 8. Woodshed (talk) 01:56, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I checked and it is accurate. GregJackP Boomer! 03:29, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality

[edit]

Reading this through I'm left with the impression that Spotted tail was a thoroughly 'bad hat' (stealing a crippled man's wife, extorting ranchers, shooting a man while his cronies held him down) and therefore Crow Dog did the world a favour by shooting him. Or is the article (or the sources it draws on) lacking a bit in neutrality? I'm just asking... Moonraker12 (talk) 17:24, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
