:Nominator(s): Averageuntitleduser (talk) 21:48, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Mother Solomon is an interesting footnote in Wyandot history. Alongside other Wyandots in Ohio, she was forced into Kansas by the Indian Removal Act, where her husband and children died of illness. However, she resettled in Ohio two decades later and lived out as a nanny and cultural activist.

I was inspired to write this article last year after finding Daughters of Aataentsic at the library and have since improved it with the help of many editors. Thanks to TechnoSquirrel69 and Kimikel for their thoughtful GAN reviews and to Dudley Miles for reviewing the article as a mentor. There was discussion at the peer review about the reliability of certain sources, and Dudley suggested that I ask for opinions on whether Marsh's book in particular has been properly assessed. Thanks in advance, Averageuntitleduser (talk) 21:48, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

{{@FAC}} if I'm reading this right, this is a first nomination for {{u|Averageuntitleduser}} and thus needs a source spot check? RoySmith (talk) 15:28, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

:Yep. And a plagiarism check. Gog the Mild (talk) 15:33, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Doing a source-to-text spot check. I'll be looking at [17, 18, 19, 21, 34, 38, 39, 41, 50, 54] from Special:Permalink/1283807770.

• {{tq|President Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act, requiring Indigenous communities to move west of the Mississippi River, passed in 1830.[17]}}
• {{u|Averageuntitleduser}} This is from Labelle. It looks like I can get it on inter-library loan, but if you could email me scans of all the cited pages, that would probably be a lot faster. RoySmith (talk) 16:06, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
• Labelle was on De Gruyter, but their website seems to be merging. I have sent Labelle and the encyclopedia. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 16:52, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
• Verified.

• {{tq|Treaty commissioners in the region, spurred on by the federal government, began pressuring Wyandots to leave, and nearby Lenapes and Shawnees signed their own removal treaties. However, Wyandot scouting parties out west in 1831 and 1834 rejected their proposed land tracts. Tensions peaked in 1841 when white men murdered the head chief Summundewat.[18][19]}}
• I can't find "Encyclopedia of American Indian removal" anywhere, so again you'll need to send me scans of the relevant pages.
• Verified, but as a minor point, Littlefield and Parins only says that "most of the Delawares had relocated west", not that they had signed a treaty (like it does for the Shawnees), so might be worth rewording that a bit. Also, as far as I can tell, this one source covers everything in the sentence, so Labelle citation can be dropped here.
• Reworded and dropped. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 17:18, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

• {{tq|On July 12, 1843, Solomon gathered alongside hundreds at the Wyandot Mission Church. They grieved, spread flowers across the adjacent cemetery, and heard Squire give a farewell speech in the Wyandot language.[6][21][22]}}
• Labelle
• Most of this is verified in Labelle p 59; the only thing I can't find is that it was spoken in the Wyandot language. Perhaps that's in one of the other cited sources?
• Removed "Wyandot language"; that was left over from Marsh. Dropped Wolf. Wood verifies the grieving more explicitly. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 17:41, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

• {{tq|Her and John's two-acre land tract on the south end of Tauromee Street was put up for auction in October 1862.[34]}}
• Verified (but as a nit, the source says "south side", not "south end")
• Tweaked. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 16:58, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

• {{tq|Labelle describes her childcare as tireless and daily, and the village nicknamed her "Mother Solomon" out of respect. Solomon promoted Wyandot culture throughout the village and demonstrated the Wyandot language in community gatherings and public presentations. She taught children about the relationships between their ancestors and Wyandots by repeating stories her elders had told.[38]}}
• Labelle
• Verified

• {{tq|The Hocking Sentinel described her storytelling as "full of interest and romance". A writer for the newspaper claimed to have visited Solomon often and stated that she spoke for hours about early Wyandot history and her childhood.[39]}}
• Verified.

• {{tq|Solomon advocated for the village to restore and continue operating the run-down mission church as a means to preserve Wyandot presence in Ohio. In 1888, with a $2,000 budget,[h] the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church began repairs.[41]}}
• {{tq|On September 21, 1889, the Central Ohio Conference held a rededication ceremony.[41][42]}}
• {{tq|Solomon was the only Wyandot removed in 1843 to attend.[41][44]}}
• Labelle
• Essentially verified, but Labelle says "restore and preserve the mission". It's not clear if that means to restore the building as a monument/historic site, or as an ongoing religious establishment, so I'm not 100% sure about the "continue operating" part.
• Left at "restore". Averageuntitleduser (talk) 00:01, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

• {{tq|Many adults attested to being raised by Solomon, and some deemed it an honor. Labelle believes that her attainment of the honorific "Mother", rather than the lesser "Sister" or "Auntie", indicated success in her work. She ascribes Solomon to a Midwestern, 19th-century wave of mothers who sought to mediate between settler and Indigenous groups.[50]}}
• Labelle
• Verified. If I wanted to be really annoying I might complain that there's some WP:CLOP around "mediate between settler and Indigenous groups" but I think what you've got is fine. If you made it a direct attributed quote, it would be better.
• Quoted. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 00:01, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

• {{tq| Marsh died and was buried there two years later. In October 2016, the church held an event celebrating the bicentennial of missionaries in Ohio, and Solomon's life was recounted during a tour of the cemetery attended by 192 people.[54]}}
• Labelle
• Verified. The wording is a bit odd; at first I read this as her burial happening two years after she died, so I'd reword that.
• Reworded. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 00:01, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

OK, this is done. I called out a few nits here and there, but nothing of significance. Spot-check passes for both source-to-text integrity and copying (I also ran Earwig, which reported no problems).

This looks cool, I'll take a look. I usually get to FAC reviews within a week of putting my name down but please give me a ping if I let it slide. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:24, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|Premeditated Chaos}} pinging, but no rush. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 02:04, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

::Very sorry! Having a look now.

;Lead

• "forced Wyandots to move to Kansas" - feels like "the Wyandots" reads more smoothly, since you're referring to the entire tribe
• Done, and in a few other places too. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• "took her to Indigenous sites as a child" I think this needs more context. Religious sites? Culturally-significant-but-not religious sites? Sites of great battles? Also, as a reader, I'd want to know what this meant for her, since it's significant enough that we're putting it in the lead.
• I replaced this with the detail about elders relaying oral tradition, which I think is given more detail and importance in Labelle and the theses. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• Yeah this works better I think
• Suggest linking mission school, and in the body also
• Done. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• "The Indian Removal Act forced Wyandots to move to Kansas..." repetitive of para 1, one of them should go
• I think this detail is important in paragraph 1 to establish the notability of the topic. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• A couple of issues here. Regardless of its importance, having it in the lead twice is repetitive. Having this as the second sentence implies that the return to Ohio is the most significant thing about her, but I'm not sure that it is. Finally, as written, the first paragraph presupposes knowledge that the reader may not have - "returned to Ohio" implies that the reader knows that Solomon was from Ohio, but this is the first mention of Ohio. I would suggest swapping it for a summary of her activities - "she was known for her efforts to preserve Wyandot culture through X and Y".
• I looked at MOS:FIRSTBIO, and as written, it would seem difficult to follow without repeating information further in the lead. I'm not sure about the third point. Of course, the sources don't discuss her return to Ohio in detail, but they all recognize it as context for her babysitting and cultural promotion, because it meant she did them in an area were there were few to no Wyandots. I propose something like: "The Indian Removal Act forced the Wyandots to move from Ohio to Kansas, though Solomon later returned to Ohio and began babysitting children and promoting Wyandot culture". Please suggest an alternative if you disagree. Another option is to remove this part and have a lead with only two paragraphs. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• "Solomon helped her family recover energy" using "energy" this way feels somewhat informal and unclear. I see that this was just changed today, but recuperated is better imo (although yes, it would be better with the context that Dudley has mentioned)
• Changed to "recuperated from the removal". Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• Honestly, on re-read, I'm not sold on it being a necessary detail for the lead. I'd recommend cutting it down to "Following the removal, Solomon had more children, though by 1860..."
• Done. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• "had a few more children" "a few" is also informal
• Removed. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• "She sought to protect..." when?
• I can't really date this. It was continuous, and presumably after her husband and children died. I think both are implied, though. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• It's a bit jarring as-is. Having some context, such as how she tried protect it, and from what, might help the flow.
• "[Animals] were stolen from her" when? And also, is this significant enough that it needs to be in the lead?
• Between 1848 and 1859. I have removed it though; it is a bit jarring and only included in a primary source. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• When did she marry the second guy
• Added. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• I know the limited use of Margaret is because of her husband, but it's a bit jarring and I think it could be written around
• Fixed; hopefully it reads smoothly. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• "Throughout the village, she garnered the nickname" could be trimmed to "Villagers began calling her" or "Her village nicknamed her" or similar.
• Done as suggested. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• "Solomon became weaker in her final years" - "weaker" doesn't tell the reader much about what's actually happening, and it's pretty typical that people don't get stronger in old age. Do we know what was wrong with her?
• Removed; it's not very important for the lead. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

;Early life

• "Squire encouraged family visits to Indigenous sites." As with my comment on the lead, we should say why if we know it, and what kinds of sites if possible, since right now we only specifically mention one
• Changed to "culturally significant sites" per the source. Reading the theses, the why they give seems a bit straightforward (Squire thought it was important that she receive a Wyandot education). Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• Yes, but the reader isn't reading the thesis, they're reading the article.
• That was even a bit hasty of me. Little only presumes the explanation I gave. The best I can manage, based on Kelly, is: "Squire sought to teach indigenous knowledge to Solomon, and he encouraged..." Would that work? Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• "and Wyandots relayed oral tradition to her" this phrasing feels odd. Random Wyandots? Friends of the family?
• Specified: Wyandot elders. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• "chief Warpole" chief should be capitalized here I think, since it's an office - see MOS:JOB
• Done. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• having "to the children" at the end of the sentence reads like he's emphasizing maintaining culture as something you're doing to the children. Suggest reordering, maybe "he emphasized to the children the importance of maintaining Wyandot culture" (or "to his audience")
• Done. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• "eventually befriended..." - eventually isn't doing much here, unless it was a struggle to befriend these pastors (in which case we need more context), we can remove it without losing meaning
• Removed. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

;Wyandot removal

• "Treaty commissioners" - link? or if we don't have an article, perhaps briefly explain their function? it's not a title that's obvious from context
• I came up with: "Commissioners sent by the federal government to negotiate treaties". Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• "their proposed land tracts" proposed by the government or by who?
• Presumably the government. Should I add that? Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• Yes, it's not clear from context
• Added. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• I cannot find where Little p. 87 mentions Solomon at all
• Whoops, this was Kelly. Fixed. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• Split the paragraph at "Around 664 Wyandots..."; this is a new topic and should be a separate para
• Done. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• Harassed how?
• Specified. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• "a territorial dispute" with who?
• Clarified. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• "began an apple tree orchard" - "planted" rather than began maybe?
• Switched. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• "Solomon had a few more children" informal. Also, split the para here, since we have a clear topical split between their agricultural activities and her children
• Done and done. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• I might revise the sentence about her eight children to account for her having at least three in Ohio that we've already mentioned
• So something like: "Throughout her life, she had three boys and five girls, at least three of whom in Ohio, though all of her children died young". I'm not sure how to present it though (mainly to make it clear that it is being repeated), do you have a suggestion? Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• Ref says the children "died quite young", not that they didn't live past adolescence. For all we know, they all died by the age of 5, which would make the "adolescence" statement technically true but misleading)
• Changed to "died young". Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• It feels weird that we're only linking Indian removal this far into the article
• Introduced earlier. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• "threatened the legal status of Wyandots and devalued the cemetery" in what way
• "so she continuously tried to prove its importance" to whom and by doing what
• Responding to this, the one above, and the one about the lead. Labelle briefly states that Solomon was an activist for the cemetery, as described, but only gives the example of the letter she signed in Ohio. She doesn't give any more context to Solomon's activism, so would it be best to remove this sentence? Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• The detail about of the various thefts feels like it isn't contributing much to the article. I see this is all sourced to a Senate document. It might be helpful to include the context of why she was presenting these complaints to the Senate.
• I have added this. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

;Return to Ohio

• "Her and John's two-acre land tract on the south side of Tauromee Street was" feels like a case where the detail is getting in the way of the flow. I'd trim and revise this bit to "The two-acre tract of land she owned with John..."
• Trimmed and revised as suggested. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• "she previously" - "had previously", I think. Also, do we know when she lived in it? Is it the same one from her childhood? (I guess it can't be, since Big Spring isn't in Upper Sandusky as I understand it?)
• Done. We do know what cabin it was, but only from Marsh. After Solomon married Young, they moved into a log cabin Young had built over the river a few miles northeast of Upper Sandusky. Solomon relocated to that cabin. I managed to add from a newspaper quoted in Labelle that the cabin was located north of the city along the river. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• "The cabin had rafters..." this feels unnecessary
• Removed that sentence. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• should be "had burned down", I think since we're talking about the past of the past here
• Done. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• I think I'm confused about locations. Putting this here rather than earlier so it doesn't get lost.
• As I understand it, Solomon lived in Big Spring Reservation as a child, but then she attended school in Upper Sandusky. They're not terribly close, nearly 25km as the crow flies according to Google Maps. Was it a residential school, or did the whole family relocate again after the 1822 move? Or was the Big Spring Reservation perhaps not located at the linked township? Is it maybe Upper Sandusky Reservation?
• I believe the Big Spring Township article is the right link. The Cincinatti Enquirer said her family moved north of Carey, which tracks (and which I have added). I also haven't come across the Upper Sandusky Reservation or a second family relocation in the sources. It isn't a fully satisfactory answer, but the students did board at the school and Solomon's siblings attended it too, which I have both added. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• If it was the Upper Sandusky Reservation, our (admittedly short) article says that was dissolved in 1842, presumably coinciding with the removal of the community. Maybe we should mention that?
• We keep saying "the village" but what village are we actually talking about? Sandusky was not a village, even at that stage, I don't think?
• Good point. As above, according to Marsh, Solomon lived in a cabin north of the city, where there was a small settlement, but she often travelled into the city. I added that the cabin was located north of the city along the Sandusky River, based on a newspaper article quoted in Labelle. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• "Margaret began babysitting" - Solomon, not Margaret
• Changed. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• Labelle wasn't there - who's she citing?
• Looking into this, I only have a concern or two. Labelle cites Marvin Jr. about Solomon demonstrating the Wyandot language, and I cannot find that in his book, but she says that it was a certainty. She also does not cite a source for Solomon teaching children. If this is a problem, please let me know. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• "the relationships between their ancestors and Wyandots" This sentence is incomprehensible to me. Were the ancestors of the Wyandot children not Wyandots?
• I might provide some context for the Sentinel, as in "a local newspaper", because Hocking has not been mentioned at all in the text and it's quite jarring
• Added context. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• "claimed" - we usually say claimed when someone's account may be dubious. Do we have a reason to doubt this?
• Revised. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• Split para at the visit to Kansas; separate topic from her childcare/storytelling
• Not yet. Is there a better way to address this? That sticks out a lot. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• I don't know that her nephew's attendance is a necessary detail
• Sure, removed. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• Split para between attendance and Solomon's performance
• Done. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• The phrasing "at the age of 72" feels like it's unnecessarily emphasizing her age. If you really need to mention her age, I might move it to the previous sentence - "Solomon, now 72, was the only..."
• Moved. I think it is a useful marker. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• Same as in the lead, reporting that she became weaker in her old age feels like padding, given that most people get weaker with age
• I'm not sure what the extensive quote from Love brings to the table
• Responding to this and the one above. I removed Love's quote and put less emphasis on her becoming weaker. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• Do we know who the Haymans were to Solomon? Caretakers obviously, but - old friends? New friends? Etc
• Only from Marsh, who implies that the Haymans had regularly checked up on Solomon, but even then, she doesn't discuss their relationship much. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

;Death and legacy

• Not sure we need Lease calling her a noble woman - seems pretty routine to speak well of the dead at their funeral
• Removed. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• "who sought to mediate between settler and Indigenous groups" sorry, but this is the absolute first we're hearing of this. The article describes her advocating for Wyandot culture and caring for children, but I don't see how that translates to mediating between Indigenous and settlers. Also, this is the first indication that she was nannying for white children also - is there a way to add that context earlier? I was assuming she was working with other Wyandot families.
• I think Labelle meant this in a cultural sense, so I have revised the sentence. In regard to this and the comment about Solomon teaching children, the article now also states that she "began babysitting children in her settler village", which I hope makes it clearer. I wish I could be more overt, but sources don't explicitly say she was babysitting white children. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• "An exception to the limited studies" - at no point does the article establish that studies on her have been limited, so this violates the principle of least astonishment.
• Revised. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• Why is the book not cited? It may be billed as a kid's book, but if it's based on reliable sources and by an archivist, it may be useful, and not using it in an FA seems like a gap
• The article previously cited Marsh, though two editors on the peer review said she would not pass FAC, based on issues of self-publishing and a lack of independent sources supporting her reliability. If there is a consensus to reinstate Marsh somehow, I would be happy to. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• Not sure March's death and burial is relevant unless she was specifically buried there because of Solomon
• She was an archivist for the church in general, so removed. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• I would split/reorganize the last paragraph to put the 3 sentences about her artifacts being displayed in a separate paragraph at the end.
• I'm hesitant to do this because of the time leap it creates. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 05:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

With apologies, I think there is quite a bit of work to do before this article is ready for FA. I really don't wish to oppose, but I'm leaning more in that direction than I like right now. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:54, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

:::*You have changed it to "Solomon helped her family recover energy". This is even more confusing. The first version said that she recuperated, but did not say from what.
