I was asked to look at this article and here are my thoughts: This article either needs to be deleted in whole, or strongly revised. Much of the material, if not all, is directly taken from one source, the subject of which was the escape of some bands of Lakota to Canada following the 1876 Black Hills War. The article shown was not about Little Hawk's role, but Crazy Horse's--many of the confusing references come from an attempt to transpose Crazy Horse with the "uncle of Crazy Horse", perhaps by someone not familiar with English. As such I suspect much of the material may be plagiarized, even with the substitutions.

This articles is useless i dont know if wikipedia has a Views Counter but im sure this articles dont even have 10 i was looking for Long Face and i was redirected to this article

I have a number of sources I will be checking to see if this article can be salvaged. In the meantime I deleted the material to a stub. If I'm wrong about copyright violations, I'll restore it (in a re-write) and apologize. --Buckboard 09:43, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Link to British possession article

@Oncamera Why have you removed the link to British possession? It is a technical term and the meaning intended here (as the capitalization of "Possessions" implies) and should be linked, according to MOS:LINK. The wisest fool in Christendom (talk) 18:02, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Probably because its linkspam to an irrelevant article and you are overlinking in contravention of WP:OVERLINKING as has been repeatedly point out on your talk page. Sorry @Oncamera: feel free to check out his talk page but this editor gets really angry when challenged. I suspect this will end in tears. WCMemail 18:16, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I went ahead and just removed the sentence, it was unnecessary. I also edited the tone of the paragraph to be more neutral in writing. Thanks for letting me know about their edits, WCM.  oncamera  (talk page) 19:26, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
