 * The image is not a negative, obviously. The OP should have read the article's Dedrick ferrotype subsection, which says, "The image shows Bonney wearing his holstered Colt revolver on his left side. This led to the belief that he was left-handed, without taking into account that the ferrotype process produces reversed image." It's always a good idea to actually read the article before making comments about it. ;-) Carlstak (talk) 17:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Typos
When mentioning Henry McCarty’s baptism his last name is spelled as “McCarthy” 50.123.143.49 (talk) 23:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * It was more than "typos". It was part of some dubious info added a while ago that was cited to an inaccessible source, and that contradicted every reliable source we do have access to. I also removed some notes based on the dubious source and improperly formatted as refs, which they were not. Thanks for pointing this out. Carlstak (talk) 02:01, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
