QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article looks mostly good; however, the sentence From September 1856 through May 1857, while serving at Fort Pierre, he met and, by Sioux tribal custom, married a young French-Yankton girl of the Yankton Sioux tribe. needs to have a direct citation as its the DYK hook. Also, do you think you could provide for me a quote for what part of the book verifies it? (seems I've missed it) – a QPQ also needs to be done. When approved, my preference is for ALT0.

I added Deloria pp 29-30 for that line and it is also referenced in the descendant section with mention of his wife and daughter (ref to Deloria page 35)

Working on Henry Bubb. Be done soon. Dwkaminski (talk) 15:08, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

@BeanieFan11: I've hopefully addressed your concerns above and added my qpq. Thank you! Dwkaminski (talk) 15:24, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

AGF on the hook source, since it seems Google Books doesn't allow me to read that part. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:38, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
