This article is a mis-naming of an incident known as the Faithfull Massacre. The argument as to whether it was a battle or killings is best addressed in the article not by mis-naming. 115.42.5.187 ( talk) 02:08, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
Alyo, It was your challenge to "demonstrate that the current title is not the common name of the event", yet all of the references in the article refer to the event as the "Faithfull Massacre" or in one case, "Massacre of Faithfull's party". Nine of the eleven references do not refer to the event as a battle and the author of the most referenced source specifically denies it was a battle. Five of the references use "Faithfull Massacre" in their title. Dutchy85 was the creator of both the Battle of Broken River and Faithfull Massacre articles, created within a minute of each other with the Faithfull Massacre article created as a redirect to Battle of Broken River, so even the creator of the Wikipedia Battle of Broken River article was aware the event was well known as the "Faithfull Massacre" and their choice of which to make an article and which to make a redirect appears a highly dubious POV. I suggest that "Faithfull Massacre" is the common name of the event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.42.5.187 ( talk) 05:55, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
This user persistently reverts articles deleting referenced edits and references. There is no justification for deleting references. If this user (editor would be a mis-description) had something useful to contribute, they would add it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.42.5.187 ( talk) 03:53, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
