Merge with Fort Wayne (Indiana)

I'd like to merge this with the Fort Wayne article and rename that article "Forts of Fort Wayne." Everyone seemed to like to rename forts in the 16th-18th centuries. Since there isn't much to be said about most of these posts in the same place, why not put them together? --CTSWyneken^(talk) 01:35, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fort Wayne was not built in the same location, and therefore is not part of Fort Miami which is totally a different fort.--Varing (talk) 14:47, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ALL of them were totally different forts in that sense - they were different buildings, but we don't have 6 articles, one for each rendition. They were all built in or around Kekionga, the Miami Indian village. The only thing that distinguishes Fort Wayne is that the Americans owned it instead of foreigners. The city of Fort Wayne encompasses all of the old Indian village, as well as the sites of all the forts. Sbalfour (talk) 19:46, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fort Miami (Indiana) sources

There is a source listed on the article Fort Miami (Indiana) called: “Poinsatte”. To my knowledge “Poinsatte” is a surname. I could not find any documents or sources elsewhere named “Poinsatte”. What does “Poinsatte” mean or refer to? It is a source listed several times as a citation for parts of the article, yet there is no further information on what it is. Thank you, any help is appreciated. 2705noahgilbert (talk) 06:19, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@2705noahgilbert: The bottom of the "Notes" section shows the following book:

Poinsatte, Charles (1976). Outpost in the Wilderness: Fort Wayne, 1706-1828. Allen County, Fort Wayne Historical Society.
