Madmanbot screwed up

Duh. The page that madmanbot claims this is a copy of is a copy of the former contents of the Nuxalk Nation page, it's a wiki-clone to start with. Would somebody please reprogram their bot; or just don't use bots when some forethought and "oh yeah" thinking is required. Sheesh.Skookum1 (talk) 13:23, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

debatable copyvio problem

I just reviewed http://www.nuxalknation.org/content/blogcategory/16/40/ which appears to be another copy of what had been the Nuxalk Nation page content which I transferred here today; they claim copyright on that page but I don't recall it being extant when the Nuxalk Nation page was created; I suspect they copied over the Wiki page to their new blogpage, I'll ask it of them; the way this could have happened is one of their people wrote the Nuxalk Nation page (given the folsky and kinda POV tone) then just used that as the basis of their new website; this article needs reworking and de-POVizing anyway, and more cites than AUTO ones.....`Skookum1 (talk) 14:06, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 23:18, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nuxalk people → Nuxalk – target is original title moved to "Nuxálk" by Doradus, temporarily moved to "Nuxálk Nation" by Kurieeto on July 25, 2005 and then "anglicized" (no accent) by The Man in Question but reverted to two-item dab page by Alton on Nov 3, 2008 in contravention of WP:TWODABS. Current title created myself on May 4, 2013] to help resolve impasse at the Nuxalk CfD re the use of diacriticals vs how this term normally appears in English; I'd have moved it to Nuxalk as PRIMARYTOPIC but the old redirect was in the way.

Oppose until the issue is addressed properly. These should be discussed at a centralized location.

There was a discussion once on whether the ethnicity should have precedence for the name, and it was decided it shouldn't. That could be revisited. But it really should be one discussion on the principle, not thousands of separate discussions at every ethnicity in the world over whether it should be at "X", "Xs", or "X people". — kwami (talk) 12:42, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. An identified people should be the primary topic of a term absent something remarkable standing in the way. bd2412 T 02:37, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support as per the policy Wikipedia:Article titles#Use commonly recognizable names and the guideline Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes). There is no need to redo any guideline as it already supports the un-disabiguated title. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 03:19, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested sources

Pioneering anthropologist Franz Boas wrote about the Bella Coola people; many sources are available, for example The mythology of the Bella Coola Indians. The following source also has information about the Nuxalk (as "Bella Coola"):
