Kitsap (Suquamish leader)

(
)
  • Source: Buerge (2017)[1] p.33: "....when the Suquamish chief Kitsap organized a confederacy to meet a threat from the north."

Ibid. p. 41-42: "The most feared were the Cowichan ... Slave raids had led the Cowichan far from their homes in search of human merchandise ... by spreading havoc on the sound, they likely intended to eliminate rivals and make the HBC come to them"

Ibid. p.42: "The confederation Kitsap engineered stretched from central Puget Sound to the Columbia River, and Old Man House was its nexus."

Ibid. p. 43: "The attack likely took place around 1825 ... Kitsap and other Suquamish men took the lead"

 Reviewing... Flibirigit (talk) 21:44, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - ?
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article was expanded more than fivefold (2,024 to 12,369 characters) when comparing the pre-expansion version on May 7, 2024, to the nominated version on August 28, 2024. Length and sourcing are adequate. The article appears neutral in tone, and no plagiarism concerns were found. The proposed hook is interesting, but its citation needs some work. As per WP:DYKCRIT, the sentence(s) which support the hooks require citation immediately following. The hooks is supported by several sentences, but not all of them have a citation. No image is included in this nomination, but all images in the article have a free Commons license. The nominator has supplied a QPQ, although it was not required. Overall, the expanded article is a welcome contribution to Wikipedia and needs only minor work for DYK. Flibirigit (talk) 22:09, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

  • I have added a citation directly after the sentence in the second paragraph. If there is another I missed, please let me know! Thanks! PersusjCP (talk) 22:26, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
    I made a couple minor edits to the first paragraph of the "Fight against the Cowichans" section to better source the hook, and added the same wikilinks which appear in the hook. The sourcing is now adequate for approval. Flibirigit (talk) 00:24, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
    Appreciate it, thanks! PersusjCP (talk) 05:55, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
