message: What factors would play into Alabama's decision to hold on to electrocution as their main method of execution though it was one of only two states doing so in 2001 as stated in your article? Skylar.duster (talk) 04:27, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

text: Backwards? Conservative? Alabama is on the cutting edge of execution methods, they are going where no they/them has gone before - with nitrogen hypoxia. 2600:1012:B311:8A2:0:12:4245:A501 (talk) 20:30, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

message: An individual named Judson Hall keeps adding a personal note to the tail of this article. It has no place. The note is: "note: I, Judson Hall, was a witness at Lynda Block's execution. While her body did tense I witnessed no smoke. She and her boyfriend , George Sibley refused to file the brief for the appeal (automatic for death sentence in Alabama), stating they did not acknowledge the laws of Alabama or their authority. Shortly after Blocks execution Sibley applied for (and was denied) appeal. Sibley was executed for the same crime via lethal injection in August of 2004. I feel Lynda Block's execution was more humane and less cruel than the crime they committed. I had or have no affiliation to either Block or the victim."

message: Why is it relevant to provide a breakdown of how many of Yellow Mama's victims are White and how many are Black?  It seems especially irrelevant since no other breakdowns are given (ie, by gender, by age, etc.).   Maybe that sentence should be removed.Richard27182 (talk) 09:06, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

message: HappyHangman here from the Simple English Wikipedia! I was wondering if you would allow this to be translated into Simple English, as the electric chair article on that Wikipedia seems tiny. Thanks! HappyHangman (talk) 22:51, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Simple English Wikipedia might benefit from an article about Yellow Mama. 

message: According to the Alabama Dept. Of Corrections, the chair was built in 1923. This was the year that legislation was passed that gave execution powers to the state rather than county governments. It was also the year that death by electrocution was chosen by the same legislation. Although it was built in 1923, it was not used until 1927. Bamakillian (talk) 16:52, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
