Ghost Dance[edit]

This article is part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America. I would appreciate everyone's advice on this article about an obscure religious movement. Tuna027 02:01, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great article indeed, Tuna; I'm positive it will reach FA status very soon. A couple of suggestions:
  • General copyedit and proofreading. I've found a small number of typos and phrases that could use a little enhancement.
  • Perhaps we could add a bit more about the degree of acceptance and influence the movement had in different tribes, and dissension among Native American groups who refused to embrace it? The rejection of the Ghost Dance by several tribe leaders, most notably Quanah Parker and others who had converted to different branches of Christian beliefs is noteworthy, imho.
  • You have referenced the article extremely well; yet I can't help but to notice that you've based most of your research on a single source. Isn't there some way to diversify the references by consulting a few more sources?
I'll be happy to help, if you don't mind me tagging along. Great work! Phædriel tell me - 10:58, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for you attention to the article! Mangled syntax seems to be my trademark so I cannot offer anything further in regard to that aspect, but I plan to have a hand in some of the other changes. We have active discoarse on the discussion page for anyone who is interested. My role furthering the article will be minor for the next few weeks due to heavy class loads. Everyone, please feel free to jump in. Tuna027 21:54, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
