A month or so ago, I could not read a single paragraph in this article without seeing mention of the Pine Ridge massacre inn the '70s. Now, it's not even mentioned in passing, and the entire page for the event itself seems to have disappeared. So my question is just what happened to this article and the mentions of the battle in Wikipedia? It seems a bit biased to leave out an event with significant influence to what's being discussed.

@DaRealPrinceZuko, as you can see above there is no source in the article that establishes that the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation flag is used in this way, nor the "proposed" territorial boundaries. The burden is on you to provide a source before adding the material again. Cheers. Remsense诉01:38, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The rest of the information is sourced in the article itself, so there was no need to erase the entire infobox and not just the flag. DaRealPrinceZuko (talk) 01:40, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
