Talk:Quanell X

message: I know the article is not very well written.  I threw this together after noticing that Quanell X was commended by the local police for his role in the Tynesha Stewart investigations.  He has been prominent in the Houston community for some time now, and deserves an expanded article. Deatonjr 18:32, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

message: fuck this guy The references to the article from "Chronically Biased" should be removed because they are far from NPOV.  They also cite Tony Freemantle's article as their informational source. Deatonjr 04:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: While they may be "biased" the information IS accurate, so the information should stay. --Hourick 02:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the information was accurate.  However, my objections lie elsewhere.
*The article itself was biased. 
*The article's primary source for those facts was another article.
*The credit for that information should go to the primary source, Freemantle's article, which is already cited on the Quanell X page.

replies: text: If that's the case, then I see your point.  I just don't like people not citing a source for the sake that it doesn't agree with its viewpoint, no matter how reprehensible it may be.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hourick (talk • contribs) 02:06, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Removed "and a racism pimp"

message: You know, initially I thought this Joe Horn thing would simply be a local, or at most, a region issue, but its proven to have legs and has been getting steady coverage across the nation.  
The major points of it seem to focus on the racial make-up, the gun laws here in Texas, and the fact that these deaths have opened an investigation involving getting Texas ID's using falsified information as well as a robbery ring.  I'm ambivalent about the case getting its own article, but it seems like it might be necessary to put Quanell's protest into context. --Hourick (talk) 04:36, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

message: *It's time to review sources for compliance with Wikipedia: Biographies of living persons.
Useful discussion regarding YouTube as a source: Wikipedia talk:Biographies of living persons/Archive 4.  Because of the strict guidelines regarding biographies of living persons (BLPs), verifiability, reliability, and original research, the YouTube videos will be removed.  This doesn't apply to content uploaded by reliable, third party sources uploaded to YouTube (like the Bill O'Reilly interview). It will result in the removal of sections like the trivia (music videos), etc.  The article will be shorter, but cleaner and more compliant to Wikipedia guidelines for articles of this sort.  I won't be able to make these changes immediately. Deatonjr (talk) 17:06, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

More proof that Quanell's actions are racially motivated can be seen in his lack of protesting for Damon Barone shooting and killing a man in self defense in similar manner to Joe Horn.  Only difference was the color of their skin.Video of event on Youtube with Quanell X's comments
because it was inappropriate, but I started to wonder if perhaps this should be put in a different section because it shows an inconsistency in his call for justice.--Hourick (talk) 14:13, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  inconsistent behavior....or is it? 

message: Yesterday I went on houstonlibrary.org and found a wealth of articles mentioning Quanell X.  I printed out a bunch, and they will add nicely to this article.  For anyone who has a library card, I recommend going to your library's website and doing an article search using Infotrac.  My Infotrac search turned up over 200 articles mentioning "Quanell X" from the last 12+ years. Deatonjr (talk) 14:45, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wealth of resources 

message: Found a nice article that links Jeffrey Battle to Quanell X.  Battle was one of the convicted Portland Seven, who tried to join al-Qaeda and fight against U.S. forces in Afghanistan after September 11. Battle used to live in Houston and was a bodyguard for Quanell X in the 90's.

thread_title:  Jeffrey Battle 

message: As a note and for future reference: several articles have mentioned the original source for the infamous "jew-bashing" quote.  It came from the Million Man March in 1995, and has been widely attributed to a Chicago Tribune article.  The Houston Public Library doesn't have access to those articles online from what I can gather.... so we need to find out what the article was so the 'New York Review' source can be updated.

replies: text: Free image found. I also uploaded a version cropped to just him, but it looked strange;  in the end I decided to keep the entourage. Maybe a different editor will have a different opinion. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 21:09, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Quanell X In the news again 

message: While googling awhile back, I came across a couple of newspieces about a guy who assaulted and pulled a knife on Quanell X at the gym some time in the last few months.  I think the suspect was charged, and it would be interesting to note this if someone can find these sources. Deatonjr (talk) 19:24, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, I saw it on chron.com and some other local news, but I didn't think it was, at the time, significant enough to be included in the article. In retrospect, it MIGHT be considered "An isolated incident".  After the initial information on the confrontation, there was no information as to what brought on the confrontation, so I blew it off. --Hourick (talk) 09:07, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Houston Press Article for later info 

message: Quanell X made an appearance in Lumberton, TX last weekend.  May 4, I think.  There are write-ups in the Beaumont Examiner and the Beaumont Enterprise.  Over 300 people showed up.  The protest was in response to the events that led to the death of a black man from Port Arthur one evening last week (date)?.  Mr. X & co. allege police brutality and a cover-up of the cause of death.  There is an ongoing investigation being conducted by the FBI and Texas Rangers.  That's a rough sketch.  Deatonjr (talk) 16:14, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I usually watch over this article against vandalism, but the removal of the article was appropriate.  A brief mention of his actions there would suffice, but copy and pasting of an entire article is frowned upon.  I learned that early in my wiki career. :) --Hourick (talk) 17:26, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quanell X in Lumberton, TX 

message: Malcom X is the featured article on the home page today.  As a featured article, it would be good to take note of that article's format and style, especially because of the similarities in title (X) before and after a change in name.  For Quanell X, I propose that the article should refer to the subject as "Quanell" or "Evans" before the switch to "Quanell X".  Subsequent references should refer to him as "Quanell X", rather than "Evans" or "Mr. X".  Deatonjr (talk) 15:18, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that is an unreasonable suggestion and seems quite appropriate.  For some reason, I've never even looked at that article before, which is a shame, because it IS a very good format that should be used here. --Hourick (talk) 17:31, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

In February 2015 Quanell X participated in "Shoot / Don't Shoot" training at a Texas police department. As a result of the experience he modified some of his views about police/civilian encounters. I think this ought to be included in his Wikipedia article, but I thought I would solicit advice before getting started. Here is a link to the video:

thread_title:  Quannel X praises Donald Trump, criticizes Barack Obama and the Democratic party  

message: Came to talk about an edit I just made re: a paragraph stating something that its own cited source proves factually incorrect (date of expulsion from Nation of Islam -- shortly after the 1995 incident, not the 1999 one), then realized that the issue of text misrepresenting the cited sources had already been raised in the GA review.  There are more examples of factual misrepresentations of cited sources like this throughout the article; I'll probably be rereading the sources and correcting what I can find here over the next few days.  I don't reasonably expect that it'll be GA level by the time I'm done or anything -- honestly, it's probably even questionable whether it is currently C-level to begin with; seems like the only thing nudging it past start-level to C is the technicality that the formal criteria don't explicitly state it needs *accurate* "citations to more than one reliable source" -- but it can probably at least earn its C rating with a little work.
