Talk:Chauncey Bailey

message: I don't know where to begin. After the Career section, this article goes off the rails. It has a lot of unsourced claims and some serious style/grammar issues. More importantly, it seems to lack a neutral POV. In my opinion it reads as if large sections of the article were written by someone close to the situation with the bakery. Not sure what the appropriate steps are to fix this; my recommendation would be to either revert to an earlier version or remove large sections of the article. As it stands, reading the article made me wonder if I was having a stroke.GringoDeMaio (talk) 14:59, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

message: The article should also emphasize that he may be a terrorist victim, or at least a victim of a "hit" as events at [Your Black Muslim Bakery  seem to starting in that direction.  While innocence should always be presume until proven guilty, I believe this is starting to develop into a major story considering other raids and arrests as well as this was an ongoing investigation. --Hourick 13:20, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I found this section irrelevant to our topic here since it has nothing related to Bailey. And I deleted it. Chris! my talk 01:37, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello Chris, I think rather that some restoration of that detail is in order. To say it has "nothing" related to Bailey, well, I would contend that it does, notably because it explained in brief context that Bailey is the first journalist to be killed in a specifically targetted attack within the United States since 1993! I would like some other input on this, rather than just a wholesale deletion. Further, I think it's a worthy article bit, but not quite enough material for an entire article by itself. So the Bailey article seemed the most logical place for it. Any additional opinions appreciated.Steven Russell 23:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree with Steven. This article is the current poster-child for journalist assassinations in the United States due to the fact that they are so rare. I say put this information back up. When journalists don't feel safe investigating their stories it can severely impact their ability to be effective journalists. This is clearly a case of an organized criminal/terrorist organization using violence to both retaliate and stave off investigation of their own violent and criminal activities.Dperrine 23:59, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That being said, then here again below is the detail that was deleted, for easier future review/copying/editing: Steven Russell 04:39, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe I'm extraordinarily absent minded, but what happened to the section on the significance that Bailey was a journalist targeted for assassination because of his investigative reporting?Critical Chris (talk) 15:18, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Did he really earn an associate degree at age 17? That seems highly unlikely to me. The dates are probably wrong.
:My math says he turned 17 in 1966. So then a two-year degree by age 19, in 1968. Steven Russell 06:14, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

message: In today's SF Chronicle, a profile of Bailey - here.  It would be nice to see more details in the article about his overall life and career, not just how it relates to his assassination and the YBMB.  He is a notable journalist in his own right.  Perhaps this article can help.  Wikidemo 09:27, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Editor "Emerson7" keeps reverting the paragraph on sourced criticism of the Chauncey Bailey Project.  While I was mistaken on the 3RR rule, since his reverts are outside of 24 hours, I find them nonetheless, though in good faith, destructive to the utility of this article.  The attribution of the criticism to investigative reporter JR, I believe, has an encyclopedic context in terms of this article and the CBP.  The inclusion of the reporter's name (JR) serves to affect the reputation of the material, has an informative prefatory context, and is well sourced.  I see no reason to exclude his name from the article and will be breaking off a new section: The Chauncey Bailey Project.Critical Chris (talk) 19:02, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
