message: I haven't checked the sources, but the statement that he was shot once by the police and once by himself, and was found to have died of "self-inflicted wounds" requires readers to decide whether it's WP or the AU authorities who suck, or both.

replies: text:  Okay. According to the article in The Oz, he was wounded during the gun battle, retreated to a ditch and then shot himself. There is no mention of his fake surrender there. If there is another account please add that detail. Keep in mind this is the early 70s and it's the Northern Territory. I'm guessing the guns used by the cops weren't overly accurate nor rapid firing. Tigerman2005 (talk) 06:16, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cause-of-death suckage 

message: The article is confusing. It seems to imply a hijack with no mention of motive. Looking at the article in The Oz (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/features/time-capsule-hijack-in-alice-springs/story-e6frg8h6-1111114839655 - the link at the bottom of the page doesn't work) it seems his motive was to kill himself in a weird way. He didn't want money, just to jump out with a parachute and live rough until he died. Very strange... Anyway I'll add some details to make this clear. Tigerman2005 (talk) 05:48, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Motive 

message: First my apologies to the original writer if I've trodden on toes - not my intention - it was just easier to rewrite parts rather than try to add details and join it all up. I've tried to answer some of the questions asked in the clarification notes. There is nothing in The Oz article about who gave Watts the gun (presumably Sandeman) or why they thought it was a good idea. I hope the article reads okay and explains the events a little more clearly. Cheers. Tigerman2005 (talk) 06:16, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Benjamin Franklin Butler (lawyer)

message: "Benjamin Butler was a horrible man that did horrible things to the city of New Orleans"
I have removed this statement, which I found appended to the end of this article, for two reasons.  First, it is merely rank personal opinion without citation.  Second, the criticism, most likely, actually targets the wrong Benjamin Franklin Butler.  The Butler to whom this criticism attaches is the Massachusetts Democratic Politician/Civil War General, who commanded the Union Army that occupied New Orleans in 1862.  The Butler of this article was a New York Democratic Politician, and Attorney General of the United States under Andrew Jackson, who died in 1858.  I will not even speak of the grammatical incorrectness of the sentence.  Okay, I will, actually.  The sentence should properly read "Benjamin Butler was a horrible man who did horrible things to the City of New Orleans."  General Butler was a person, not an object, no matter what your opinion of his standing as a human.

message: I'll be taking the story through the 1940s or so, but there will be a fairly large hole remaining to be filled relating to Gitlow's later years and his conservative political activity.

thread_title: Gitlow as anticommunist

message: Fun fact: Benjamin Gitlow was Executive Secretary of the CPUSA for exactly one week: named to the position on March 16, 1929 following the 6th Convention. Then he left for Moscow as part of the 10 member delegation to appeal the decision to remove Lovestone from America, leaving New York on March 23 with Robert Minor in control of the Party, according to his own memoir.

thread_title: Gitlow as Executive Secretary

message: Is it worth putting in some information about this?  At some point I'm going to update the sentence on his prison term, since it seems that during the 1921 campaign, in September, they transferred him from Sing Sing to Auburn to make it harder for him to keep in touch with the campaign, so that what's now written is strictly speaking inaccurate (2 years in Sing Sing).  To make that clear, though, a little info on the campaign seems necessary, but again, perhaps is too much detail.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 17:46, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Stephen has been a theatre owner and manager since 1984 when he was Joint Chief Executive of Maybox Group which acquired and managed the Albery, Criterion, Donmar Warehouse, Piccadilly, Whitehall and Wyndham’s Theatres, as well as developing the first British-owned multiplex cinema. Maybox was sold in 1989, the same year in which he became Director of the Victoria Palace Theatre. Sir Stephen became the producer of The Mousetrap in 1994. Since then he has also taken on the management of the St.Martin’s Theatre as well as the Vaudeville from 1995-2002 and the Savoy from 1997-2005. In April 2007 Sir Stephen purchased the Ambassadors Theatre, the sister theatre to the St.Martin’s and the original home of The Mousetrap for the first 21 years of its run. Before entering the theatre business Sir Stephen was a financial journalist and a founder director of Euromoney Publications. Sir Stephen was President of the Society of London Theatre from 2002-2005; and he was a Trustee of The Theatres Trust 1998-2004.

message: Neither source provided substantiated that Rivadavia was of African decsent infact the first source explains that he most likely wasn't and that his nickname 'Doctor Chocolate' was probably an insult from his political oponents rather than any reference to African ancestry.
Morrone does, however, provide an important observation on the use of the term mulatto as a political insult (15). If in fact mulatto was, as the author intimates, an epithet employed to politically slander a rival, and not strictly a racial designation, this would put into question Reid Andrews's implication that Bernardino Rivadavia was in fact of African descent ("Dr. Chocolate" to his federalist enemies [see Andrews, 81-2]). If even blonde, blue-eyed Juan Manuel de Rosas could be called a "mulatto," then the term is polemical as a racial designation (especially in the case of elites) in nineteenth-century Argentina (15).
