Using edit summaries

The bit about two spirited doesn't seem to be really all that informative and rather out of snyc with everything else, Was that just thrown in as some random thought? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.211.236.86 (talk) 16:20, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

It keeps getting edited back in as well, it seems like someone with a vested interest in denying male two-spirited individuals is vandalizing the page. The source is also dubious. ~\\--141.193.125.94 (talk) 23:21, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Vandalism is often identified as edits by IP users who don't use an edit summary. Use one every time to avoid being reverted when it appears to be a random deletion from an article with no explanation. Fettlemap (talk) 00:47, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Foot vs Feet

Don't mix up the Blackfoot with the Blackfeet you dumbass. The tribe, which is described here is called Blackfoot. The Blackfeet-Indians are a subtribe of the Lakota. See also [[1]] 217.162.153.19 07:12, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll see if I can weed out the mess. - Hephaestos 07:15, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

That's not really correct. There are two tribes, which are called Blackfeet. The one described in this Article are the Algonkin (sometimes also called Blackfoot). The other one is, as mentioned above, the Lakota tribe. --Napa 11:03, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The federal government has decided that the Blackfoot are officially the Blackfeet, which they also use as the plural. Hyacinth 09:24, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Blackfeet is preferred by the Blackfeet tribe. You should probably change the name of the other articles out of respect, regardless of whatever is official according to non-Blackfeet peoples. – ishwar  (speak) 17:36, 2005 August 17 (UTC)

Things get a little more complicated when you consider that the Blackfeet in the United States prefer Blackfeet, while the Canadian part of the tribe prefers Blackfoot. By the same token, the Americans prefer the spelling Piegan while the Canadians use Peigan (both derived from Pikuni or Piikuni). Yamamoto333

That, by now, is all nicely explained in the article, but further down, the article keeps using "Blackfoot" and "Blackfeet" interchangeably. Having once given the explanation, shouldn't we stick to one or the other within the article? Comparable, for instance, to using either British English or American English spelling within one article, but not switching back and forth all the time? --93.212.252.179 (talk) 07:07, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Walter McClintock Lantern Slides

The historic photographs at Commons of the Category:Walter_McClintock_Lantern_Slides are described both as Blackfeet and Siksika Nation, from Montana. Someone familiar with the history could probably determine how to categorize them correctly. Also, many photographs appear to be from the Glacier National Park area. Someone familiar with the park could probably identify the mountains and lakes. If all this land was Blackfoot or Siksika Nation land at the time, should all the photos get those tags?
