Talk:Sauk Mountain

Lushootseed is native language

Lushootseed is the native language. Native language goes in lede. Subject is closely associated with its native language. In fact, it is so closely associated, the mountain is named after the people. Literally every mountain article has its native name in the lede unless it hasn't been bothered to put it there. Why exempt this article specifically? @Ron Clausen PersusjCP (talk) 08:37, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

No citation to support your claim that dxʷgʷiʔt is in fact the native name of the mountain. Wikipedia requires references to reliable published sources. A Google search for dxʷgʷiʔt shows no results. Ron Clausen (talk) 08:48, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

The citation is lower in the article. MOS:LEDECITE. I can add another one to the lede if you prefer. PersusjCP (talk) 08:50, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

This short article doesn't need three instances of the subjects' native name. That's excessive. Ron Clausen (talk) 09:53, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

I can agree with that, that's reasonable. PersusjCP (talk) 19:43, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

It would be beneficial for the article to have the native name expanded upon including the the story behind it, meaning, pronunciation, etc. Ron Clausen (talk) 22:05, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

I don't have a source for any story or meaning, and it might be untranslateable, but if I find anything, I will add it. I can add a respell/IPA though PersusjCP (talk) 23:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
