... ~~that the first European settlement in Maryland was purchased from the local Native American tribe?~~ Source: "The site pleasing Calvert, he purchased it from the king and his head men for axes, hoes, and cloth..." [1]
- ALT1:... that the first European settlers in Maryland shared their settlement with the local Native American tribe until the end of the growing season? Source: "When the Indians had gathered their crops, they would abandon the other half ... they were neighbors." [2]

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting: - The hooks are alright and I will check them more thoroughly if you still want to choose one of them, but I'd be more interested by something less about Europeans, such as:

ALT2: ... that Paleo-Indians began inhabiting Maryland around 10,000 B.C.?

Feel free to improve this alt or counter-propose something.

QPQ: None required.

Overall: It is important to note that Native American territorial boundaries were ... should just be Native American territorial boundaries were ... per WP:NOTED. — Bilorv (talk) 19:04, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bilorv: Changed the working as per NOTED, and I'd be happy to add that hook - Do I just append it to the current template? AviationFreak💬 20:19, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Great, thanks for the quick fix. You don't need to do anything more – ALT2 approved, and the admin who signs off on this will read this comment and know which hook to copy over. — Bilorv (talk) 20:54, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bilorv: yours is a great hook, but per Rule H2, you cannot approve your own hook. Could another reviewer take a look at this please? Yoninah (talk) 14:35, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: for future reference, can you explain what is different in this case to nominations like How to Be an Antiracist, Danielle Lessovitz and many others I've taken part in where the reviewer suggests a hook and the nominator agrees? Is the rule new? Or those previous nominations mistaken? — Bilorv (talk) 22:24, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bilorv: If a new hook fact is introduced, someone else should review it. In the case of How to Be an Antiracist, all the reviewer did was rearrange the words in the nominator's hook. In Danielle Lessovitz, all you did was add the film title to the hook; it was already there in the piped link. But here you added Paleo-Indians and a year—these are new facts, so you should recuse yourself and call for a new reviewer per Rule H2. Yoninah (talk) 22:43, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I've ever seen this done before but there we go. The fact is in the article and the relevant citations: DiLisio, James E.; Bready, James H. "Maryland History". Encyclopædia Britannica. Encyclopædia Britannica, inc. and "The First Marylanders". Visit Maryland.. I guess now we wait for another reviewer. — Bilorv (talk) 23:03, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll move this back to WP:DYKN so it will get more eyes on it. Yoninah (talk) 23:10, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Piscataway people should be on the map but they aren't

I have valid sources describing their territory. They have been well studied. I'll add it later.

@Chesapeake77: I have added the Piscataway to the map at Commons as being within present-day Charles, Prince George's, and St. Mary's Counties. AviationFreak💬 18:42, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
