message: According to the Cambridge Learner's dictionary, both ways of spelling are correct. I think Protestor is the American spelling while Protester is the British. I am not sure, I am a native speaker of neither languages. TopAce, 16:55, 4 Nov 2005, GMT +1
:It's actually the other way around.

thread_title:  Protester and Protestor 

message: How can one write an article about the Boston Tea Party without the context of the Revolutionary War?  The drumbeats of war were sounding loudly before the Tea Act and subsequent protests.  The war was both the catalyst for the event and the outcome.  It was the catalyst in that talk of war precipitated tougher sanctions, one of which was the Tea act.  The tea party further escalated the talk of war and galvanized many people towards action on a larger scale.  Shouldn't this be in the article as well, or am I missing something?  Is this a British attempt at preventing the American POV on this? --Asams10 17:25, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revisionism? 

message: Maybe I'm not a champion in english grammatics (spelling?), but I believe it should be in one word = teaparty and not tea + party. It is in one word isn't it? I need some answers. --NorwegianMarcus 21:00, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

message: It should be noted that samwaltz sent the same "invitation" to many people to join the discussion on the terrorism debate.  I have no ill will toward samwaltz and no opinion on the debate, but it seems like the sort of thing which could skew the perception of concensus quite a bit. Lunkwill 08:25, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: however, I am one of the persons whom he invited, and I didn't support his idea. Not that one case proves anything, but it's something to chew on. Carl.bunderson 07:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The way the invitation read, I think I've disappointed Samwaltz by not supporting his idea. Argyriou 07:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it can skew consensus, but then again, I would have seen this anyway (I've had this article watched for months now) and I didn't even say what he wanted (like others above have said). Either way, a lot of people know now, and I don't think it was a big deal. Ungovernable ForceThe Wiki Kitchen! 17:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I also got an invitation and I disagreed as well.  I also think the invitations are a great idea.  I don't see them as skewing anything just fostering a healthy discussion.L0b0t 01:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Re: terrorism: Samwaltz spamming talk pages 

message: I've heard that the event is the reason americans don't drink much tea. // Liftarn
:I've heard more specifically that that is why us Bostonians love Dunkin Donuts so much, but I wouldn't give this much credit.CSZero 06:16, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Let me also add that the place where the Boston Tea Party actually occurred, which is somewhat contraversial it seems, is probably on dry land now because of the landfill projects in the city CSZero 06:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Later influence 

message: I've removed the following line from the article as it has nothing to with the Boston Tea Party: "But a little known fact that in 1772 the HMS Gaspee was the first British boat overthrown by Americans in Pawtuxet Cove Rhode Island." L0b0t 12:09, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  International influence 

message: A recent addition has adds that colonists pledged to keep from the drink as a protest; it seems like this belongs in the Background as opposed to the Reaction.  If this occurred as a reaction to the tea party, it needs to be explained better and sources provided.Jayvdb 05:09, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Lighting BugsImage:Lighting bugs are found in Indiana.  When my father was a child, he collected them and put them in glass jars.  After a few days in there,  the lighting bugs would die.  The moral of this story is:  Don't keep lighting bugs in glass jars for too long.65.182.230.145 01:04, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Somehow the the phrase "crates of tea bricks" got changed to "crates of tea break" in today's On this day listing for the Tea Party. I noted the error in Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors, but I thought I'd bring it up here as well in hopes of getting it fixed more quickly. --Cam 16:31, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
