Bibliography
editThis article should have a separate Bibliography for the short reference style, ie the inline citations are naming books which are listed separately in the booklist.
Improvements needed for DYK nomination
editEditors should accomplish the following prior to DYK nomination
- Change all inline citations to proper citation format (see WP:Cite) using appropriate template
Done - Add appropriate navigational templates Done
- Add further reading section Done
- Add See also section Done
- Add appropriate infobox if one can be found
- Add GeoGroupTemplate and coordinate for major locations during flight. Done, a few more to add through
- Consider citing additional sources on Yellowstone history, not just sources on Nez Perce history--ie, Chittenden, Haines and Schullery Done
Info re killings at Mammoth
editI don't think the two people killed at Mammoth were tourists, rather they were working in the park. I will find source to support and change the text. --Mike Cline (talk) 15:02, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- The two people who were killed, Dietrich and Kenck, are called tourists by Hampton, p. 234. Possibly others were also killed? Smallchief (talk) 16:53, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Info re Red Rock Pass
editThe Red Rock Pass linked in the article is the wrong one. Additionally the correct Red Rock Pass is on the border of Montana/Idaho, so this will need a bit of rewriting.--Mike Cline (talk) 15:46, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yes,you're right. Wrong Red Rock Pass. Smallchief (talk) 16:54, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Potential DYK hooks
editHere are three potential DYK hooks for this article
- ... that in August 1877 a force of Nez Perce indians under the leadership of Chief Joseph evaded the pursuing U.S. Army as they made their way across Yellowstone National Park.
- ... that in August 1877 Nez Perce indians, fleeing the U.S. Army killed two tourists and wounded others in Yellowstone National Park
- ... that during the Nez Perce flight across Yellowstone National Park in 1877 they killed two tourists from Helena, Montana and wounded others from Radersburg, Montana.

- Your choice for the DYK. They all look fine to me. And thanks for your hard work on the article. That's a neat trick putting in geographic coordinates for places. I'll see if I can learn how to do that for my next article. Smallchief (talk) 20:49, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
