LeCanardQuoi (talk) 03:39, 6 March 2019 (UTC) Comment was: "See place notability guidelines. This does not appear to be a legally recognized inhabited named place." "Places with protected status (e.g. cultural heritage sites) and named natural features, with verifiable information" are presumed to be notable according the wikipedia article on place notability. So shouldn't Frenchtown Washington abundantly written about (including many scholar references) be presumed to be notable? French Prairie in Oregon is a very similar heritage area and has a wikipedia entry, thus presumed notable. Frenchtown, Indiana does not look much different as far as "place notability goes". See French Prairie. Am a bit lost, this being my first ever article.

What do you think about AIs on Wikipedia?

Hi LeCanardQuoi,

Welcome to the Wikipedia community!

Did you know that Artificial Intelligences (AIs) support Wikipedia? I saw your post on Teahouse, and I’m personally contacting a small handful of new Wikipedia editors to make sure your voice is heard as we build and refine these AIs.

Will you please provide an interview to share your thoughts about AI on Wikipedia? It would only take about 30 minutes over phone or video chat. We will send you a $15 Amazon gift card as a way to thank you for your time.

I am working in collaboration with Wikimedia Foundation staff to do this research, so if you decide to participate, your opinion could help build the future of Wikipedia. Hope to talk to you soon!

PS. You can learn more about our study here.

Best, Bowen, aka Bobo.03 (talk) 19:09, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Fraser River

At Fraser River your wrote:

The Hudson Bay Company sent a crew in 1824 across Pudget Sound from its Fort George southern post located on the Columbia River to further explore the lower Fraser on the basis of the 1808 maps. The expedition was led by James McMillan. The Fraser was reached via the Nicomekl River and the Salmon River reachable after a portage. The objective was to reacquaint with friendly tribes met earlier on and subsequently locate on the Fraser a trading post with agricultural potential.

You added this source to support your edit.

Perhaps I missed it, but where in the source cited does it mention the Nicomekl River, and 1808 maps? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 09:01, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

13:43, 1 December 2022 (UTC)LeCanardQuoi The James McMillan article existing reference iterates the 1824&1827 expedition highlights conveyed in my revision. I removed the unnecessary reference (mainly implied) to previous Simon Fraser map as I could not readily find them. John Works log reference remains the primary source for the 1824 expedition.

I'm not sure I understand. Does the source cited specifically say "1808 maps"? Also, where does it mention the Nicomekl River? Magnolia677 (talk) 14:54, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

16:06, 1 December 2022 (UTC)LeCanardQuoi Simon Fraser maps referred earlier are no longer referred as per earlier note. The existing McMillan article now referred details as follows: "He led an exploration party of 40 men from Fort George to Puget Sound and on to Mud Bay, just east of present-day Point Roberts. On local advice of a shortcut, McMillan's party proceeded east up the Nicomekl River through what is now South Surrey, British Columbia where they portaged over to the Salmon River in order to finally reach the Fraser. The expedition traveled and surveyed up the Fraser River as far as Hatzic Slough, before returning to Fort George.[4]"

And for the third time, where does the source cited mention the Nicomekl River? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:28, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

16:38, 1 December 2022 (UTC)And for the n'nth time, several sources are cited. The McMillan article reference goes into the route details and sources, including the Nicomekl, the portage and the Salmon rivers.

But you specifically used this source to support the edit, and "Nicomekl River" is not mentioned at that source. Could you please either find a source to support this, or delete it. Thank you. You also wrote that Fort Langley was "the first ever mixed ancestry and agricultural settlement in southern British Columbia on the Fraser". To support this, you used this blog post. Where in that source does it say this? Thank you again. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:44, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

01:05, 2 December 2022 (UTC)LeCanardQuoi As suggested, John Work's log reference was simply removed as it is already used in the referred James McMillan article that documents the 1824&1827 expedition highlights. Assertion made in submitted revision "The trading post original location would soon become the first ever mixed ancestry and agricultural settlement in southern British Columbia on the Fraser (Sto:lo) river" was summarized from the following reference fragments: "The men wintered over, and some started to partner with native wives. The first wave of mixed ancestry descendants in southwest British Columbia would soon follow.[]Throughout its 10+ years of operation, a model of peaceful coexistence with the Indigenous people had generated a local bicultural population of mixed ancestry.[]Tools made by the local blacksmith enabled farming of new crops at nearby Langley Prairie: grain, potatoes and peas, followed by dairy, cattle and pigs. []New know-how was acquired in the areas of local farming, food curing, storage, shipping, transportation and even forestry: many premières in south-west BC!"
