Requested move

The root name Shawnee is just a redirect to Shawnee (tribe). There's no reason to use the (tribe) disambiguation when the simpler root name is unused. --Kevin Myers July 8, 2005 13:51 (UTC)

Agree/rename, because the tribe is the most common use of the word "Shawnee" (and because other names exist for other articles with the word Shawnee, e.g. Shawnee, Kansas), the article on the tribe should take Shawnee, and Shawnee (disambiguation) should be used for all other articles with the word Shawnee (as it is).

Agree The disambig page was originally at Shawnee, but I found that most of the links to the page were for the tribe. So I moved the disambig page to its current location and changed the redirect to the tribe. I probably should have just moved the tribe page at that time, but I can't recall anymore whether there was any reason other than laziness why I didn't move the page. older≠wiser July 8, 2005 15:56 (UTC)

I've done the move. Talrias (t | e | c) 20:29, 9 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Blue Jacket

Folks, was it really so horrible to have "Blue Jacket's" native name (Weyapiersenwah) written in this article? I can accept that it's Wikipedia's policy to link English wikis with the English name. I don't agree, but I can accept it. Still, I see no need to wipe out that bit of knowledge from this article, just because there's a more commonly used name for him which he might not have even used himself.

Question

Saw mention of "Absentee Shawnee" somewhere. If anyone knows anything, I would love to see a bit of info on what the "Absentee Shawnee" were. Thanks. jengod 06:43, July 16, 2005 (UTC) [The Absentee Shawnee are one of the three federally recognized Shawnee tribes in Oklahoma.]
