Talk:Robert Dickson Crane

message: well, If you read for Dr. Crane you will realize how significant his personality is. I can see why some may try to undermine his work because he wrote once:
"Islam is the only solution. It carries justice in it's soul and in it's major and minor details"
He also wrote "If people in the US would read newspapers they surly will fear Islam".

thread_title:  Dr. Crane is a well identified lawyer and a muslim activist 

message: Doctor? Sorry, having a JD does not allow one to call himself doctor. This is well known and accepted in the legal community, however disappointing and unfortunate for those who would love their law degrees to grant them the title. Cjs2111 (talk) 01:59, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

message: It is against WP policy to remove sourced material without discussion and that certainly should not be done by anonymous editors. I have accordingly reverted the material on the subject's role as advisor to Ahmed Yousef Sgmiller (talk) 03:47, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Removal of Sourced Material

message: Crane's conversion is sourced by a link to a webforum-thread that is dead. I hope someone will come with something better, or it should be deleted. Good luck to all, Jeff5102 (talk) 11:57, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Story of his conversion - bad reference 

message: I have not looked at this page in a very long time and I see that the claim of having been imprisoned in a Soviet Gulag has been repeated yet another time. Since there has never been a shred of proof for this claim other than the subject's own statement, I am deleting it until such time that a reliable third party souirce for the claim can be produced.

thread_title: Gulag Claim

message: Actually I have looked more carefully at this article and find it devoid of reliable sources. Either the source is a publication of the subject himself or does not support the statement made. For example, the subject is supposed to have been a Nixon advisor but the source refers to a Reagan Presidential commission which hardly qualifies even as a Reagan "advisor". Also, the suject is supposed to have been a Deputy Director of the National Security Commission but I can find nothing on this either on LexisNexis, newspaper archives, or on the Web other than what appears to have been drawn from this Wikipedia article. I thought about trying a rewrite but since there seems to be no reliable sources on this individual, I am not sure what the point would be.

thread_title: Proposed Deletion

message: *Encyclopedia of Muslim-American History by Edward E. Curtis IV
**http://www.fofweb.com/History/MainPrintPage.asp?iPin=EMAH0072&DataType=AmericanHistory&WinType=Free -Easier to read/link version of the encyclopedia article above. 
*Here is a 261-page pdf document of "Guide to Holdings" from Nov. 2015 from the Richard Nixon Presidential Library & Museum. It lists hundreds of Nixon staffers and indexes their papers. What is interesting as pertains to this article is that a CTRL+F of that pdf for the phrase "Crane" has zero results.
