Talk:Samuel de Champlain
From Academic Kids
Template:Cleanup taskforce closed
To do :
- Spelling and grammar (I suck)
- Standardize between 'Indian' and 'Native'. Which is more correct? Idealy refer to them only by tribe name
- Although I've tried to write everything using my own words, there are some places I've copied phrases (though rarely entire sentences) from the source. Hopefully future edits will change it even further.
- Should places/rivers/lakes be refered to by the name originaly given to it, or by the current name?
- more spelling and grammar.
- Probably could be broken up into sections to make reading it easier. 'First voyages', 'founding a city', 'exploring Canada', 'Politics in France', etc.
- The photo should probably be changed to the engraving from the war of 1609 as it's the only 'authentic' portrait...

The overall content of the article is good, and the references at the bottom are nicely laid out. However, the article is largely just body with no clear introduction, it needs to be divided into some subjects. Ben Babcock 21:53, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Thanks to Woohookitty for wikifying it. The sections make the page easier to read, and make it easier to find specific information about Champlain. Ben Babcock 23:42, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Father of New France
Samuel de Champlain is known as the Father of New France. I think this should be bolded in the lead section. Phoenix2 16:03, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
