Original Research[edit]

I'm not quite sure what to make of this article at the moment. It looks like some well researched work; however, it also looks like original research in many respects, especially in a lot of the conclusions that it draws. It could be re-written to better conform to Wikipedia style, but I also wonder if it is a copyvio of this page [1] or if it is that person that is adding this information. Regardless, a lot of this could probably just be merged with John Brown (abolitionist). Peyna 08:43, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a violation, same author as the Education Forum version. Despite the dire warnings, it has a full bibliography and no dramatic revisionist conclusions. It is a distinct and important historical event, so I avoided cutting it into the biographical page......shanet Shanet 17:53, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This page is highly romanticized (and personalized). Should be revised to conform to Wikipedia style, standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.83.125.176 (talk) 20:08, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. He goes in with 18 men. 10 are killed, 7 are captured, and 5 escaped. For those of us playing at home, that's 23! Fast breeders for two day's time. —Preceding

Re-write[edit]

Okay, I gave a stab at reorganizing this article and cutting out the NPOV conclusions. I would oppose merging this with John Brown's article, as I think that one is getting large enough as it is.

Would anyone object to renaming this article Virginia vs. Brown, which, I am only assuming, is the official name of the case? - Eric 21:34, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Virginia v. John Brown[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Virginia v. John Brown's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
