Formatting[edit]

Hi there! Your article looks like it is really coming together, the only suggestions I can make are to reformat your citations and perhaps spell out "ELF" in the beginning, and place the abbreviation in parentheses so readers are not confused later. Lineskier09 (talk) 23:06, 3 April 2011 (UTC) Thanks Lineskier, Actually this information is up on the web. I'm just now starting my article. The other was adding to an article. Thanks for stopping by. KuluppisKuluppis (talk) 23:15, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Format redux[edit]

Whoever proofread this for DYK needs to pay closer attention. The spacing and ref placement/punctuation was really sloppy. DYK articles need to be in top shape for the main page. Very interesting article though. BarkingMoon (talk) 21:02, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Rservation Act"[edit]

"The Reservation Act outlawed indigenous languages spoken within the reservation confines." Never heard of this. What Reservation Act? Indian Appropriations Act? And what does "outlaw" mean? Not speaking English was punishable? Patently untrue. I will remove this if left without a source. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 23:50, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
