Restructuring of IPNA.... IPNA/Nish recast?[edit]

Here is a question I had posed at WP:IPNA/Nish that I'm cross-posting here. As topics associated with Indigenous Peoples of the Americas are in need of better attention, IPNA proposes to restructure, bring about a macroproject to cover all of the Americas, create a new Indigenous Peoples of South America project, and have 6 regional subprojects or categories for both, with 2 multi-regional subproject/categories for the reorganized IPNA. The current proposal is to have IPNA/Nish to include all Cree peoples, and then this combined multi-regional subproject, together with a parallel multi-regional subproject covering all the various Dene peoples. Would we here at IPNA/Nish mind broadening of the scope to include all the Cree as well so that we have a set of dedicated group of people who would work on both Cree-related and Anishinaabe-related articles? Please go to WP:IPNA and comment on the project restructuring. Miigwech. CJLippert (talk) 15:43, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Total population[edit]

Where was gotten info about total population Cree people in Canada? What sources?--Kaiyr (talk) 15:05, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Source or verification for the list of Cree Communities?[edit]

This is not intended in a harshly critical way, but... Going through Canadian gov't sources, it is not easy to distinguish Cree reservations from non-Cree, and many First Nations comprise both Cree and non-Cree groups in the same political unit. I notice some other problems that raise an eyebrow... e.g., a broken link for Mosquito-Grizzly Bear's Head-Lean Man that just names the F.N. as "Mosquito Grizzly Bear's Head First Nation" (thus excluding one of the bands, intentionally or accidentally?). Does anyone know what published source this list derives from, or, better still, a published source that this could be compared to (either for verification or improvement)?71.17.90.240 (talk) 15:46, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

CreeCree people – for the people 76.120.164.90 (talk) 21:58, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

  • Comment if this is moved, then the disambiguation page should replace it at the base location -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 05:19, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Oppose No rational given. 117Avenue (talk) 05:04, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Oppose as per 117Avenue. Also the past couple of years discussions on this type of article have gone with the people being at an undisambiguated title where the people are the primary target. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 19:44, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
like English, French, Spanish for example? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.120.164.90 (talk) 22:08, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
With the exception of a few comments about using Spaniards in 2012 not one of those articles has had a move request. That of course would be because there is no reason to assume that the people of those three articles are the primary target. All of this was hashed out at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes) and Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes). Why go backwards with this when the primary usage of Cree is for the people. Look at Talk:Assiniboine#Requested move. And Talk:Chipewyan#Requested move and the section below it was what started everything I think. Although the original request was declined I think several of them have since been moved. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 07:28, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Just checked and of that list there are about six of them that are still at the "Foo people" title. The rest have been moved to the undisabiguated "Foo". CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 07:32, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
  • 'Strong oppose per 117 Avenue and Cambridge Bay Weather and also per WP:DEADHORSE, adding unneeded disambiguation to unique names with a clear PRIMARYTOPIC has been proven/demonstrated to be against guidelines and policy (TITLE per the Five Characteristics) and more. There is no grounds for this move in guidelines, or in reality either.Skookum1 (talk) 09:31, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
