[untitled section[edit]

I love William Lloyd Garrison who wrote the Liberator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's actually William Lloyd Garrison. Snowonster 03:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

These facts need to be cited. Dec 3 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.170.118.215 (talk) 01:53, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cost of Publication[edit]

I was wondering if the cost of keeping up production of the Liberator should be discussed? I found that many African American newspapers early on in the Antebellum period had minimum income due to the lack of literate African Americans and a small middle class. Many publications such as the Liberator, Frederick Douglass' Paper, and The Provincial Freeman held bazaars, festivals, and gatherings for fund raising to help support the paper.DasMick (talk) 15:40, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

title[edit]

I was considering removing the "(anti-slavery newspaper)" from the title. Is there a reason that it is there that I might not be aware of? Jamisenrose (talk) 04:50, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in The Liberator (newspaper)[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 The Liberator (newspaper)'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.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT ⚡ 09:33, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Antisemitism[edit]

Thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia. Did he write about his antisemitic views in the Liberator? If yes, it should be a section of the article. If not, it should be a section of William Lloyd Garrison. I'm concerned that including it in the lede here gives the topic undue weight relative to the overall topic of The Liberator, an abolitionist newspaper of the United States" jengod (talk) 16:34, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree that without more explanation on how it relates to the newspaper, it's an WP:UNDUE addition. --Onorem (talk) 20:02, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
