  • Yuwipi is a dictionary definition. I'm not sure it's suitable for Wiktionary or should just be deleted. It doesn't seem very verifiable. Angela. 02:49, May 18, 2004 (UTC)
  • I'd love to keep this if somebody could write something about the ceremony, but I'm certainly not the one to write it. Please, can somebody flesh it out before the delete time frame? I'm going to list it on Cleanup to see if somebody can do something. RickK 19:03, 18 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • This text might have a better home on the talk page of Lakota mythology. That page asserts that a Yuwipi is a Lakota medicine man; this page seems to say, no, that ain't what it means, Yuwipi means this, a Lakota medicine man is called something else, and his description of Lakota medicine men jives with something I remember reading. It was apparently created in this spot by a well-informed newbie who ought to be given every encouragement to expound. Smerdis of Tlön 19:44, 18 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Twoddle. Delete. NIMW (not in my wiki!) JFW | T@lk 23:17, 18 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
    • Also, it's an ad for Lakhota.com. JFW | T@lk 23:17, 18 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
