message: I am concerned about the quality of the review of this article at FAC and the research that went in to the article; see a sampling of my concerns posted to WP:ERRORS, here.  It should not be so easy to find these kinds of issues in just a few moments. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:04, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

message: Did he really achieve his dentist license at the age of 19? Just seems too young for it... Amit (talk) 15:32, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  I did not understand your response but to clarify my comment - the article mentions he was born in September 1881 and received his dentist license in 1900 which would make him 18 or perhaps 19 at that time if he received his license after September 1900.

replies: text: That is strange, but it's a well-sourced claim . Mark Arsten (talk) 16:15, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: This book and this book could probably explain the licensing and education requirements at that time. I can't seem to access them though. Mark Arsten (talk) 16:25, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dentist at the age of 19? 

message: There seems to be some confusion in the headings about the focus of this article. The article is supposed to be about Evens but many of the headings refer to the KKK rather than him:
*Internal conflicts - they are not Evans internal conflicts but the KKKs.
*Growth and political activism - his growth or the KKKs?
*Decline - again it talks about the KKKs decline - not Evans's.
*Downfall - is that his downfall or that of the KKK? And shouldn't his death get a mention in the heading.
Do others agree that these headings are confusing? Richerman   (talk) 16:01, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I've changed the headers. I don't recall being able to find his cause of death, but I can look again. Mark Arsten (talk) 17:08, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: OK thanks. I can't find anything online. Richerman   (talk) 17:34, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that was kind of a frustrating part of writing this. There was a TON of stuff about most of his life, but Crisco and I really had to work to fill in the details when he was out of the spotlight. Mark Arsten (talk) 17:37, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I couldn't even find a decent obituary. Perhaps the newspapers thought he was best forgotten. Richerman   (talk) 17:55, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
