A fact from Jeffrey Veregge appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 June 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: Always awesome to see more articles on Indigenous topics and personalities on Wikipedia! Everything seems to check out. It's new enough, long enough, sourced and neutral. Earwig detects no plagiarism. Hook is cited and interesting! QPQ has been completed! Cheers! Ornithoptera (talk) 21:14, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've reverted the replacement at the start of the intro of "S'Klallam" piped to Klallam people with "American". GiantSnowman had made the change citing MOS:ETHNICITY, but Veregge was not only an enrolled member of a tribe, which is no mere ethnic heritage, but his Salish identity was an important part of his work and his notability. (I also reverted the same change in the summary template, which is solely on en.wiki and doesn't affect the central Wikidata summary.) However, Wikipedia articles are read by people all over the world, so it's desirable to provide the national context and not expect the reader to click the link to find out what coast of what continent is being talked about, and the infobox is an adjunct to the article, not a replacement. So in my edit I added "in Washington State, US" immediately after (and moved information on his style to be all in the following sentence). I hope the mention of the state and country is not inadvertently diminishing to his Native American identity; that's not my heritage, and I know the issue is politically fraught. Hence I'm starting this section for discussion if anyone feels it's necessary. Yngvadottir (talk) 01:34, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I support this inclusion. I'd be fine if the mention was rephrased to "Native American (Port Gamble Band of S'Klallam Indians)" or something like that, but as a federally recognized tribe the Port Gamble Band should be considered a sovereign nation with membership in the tribe being identical to citizenship.
