Black Gang
Isn't the defence of 'the Black Gang' a little strident? Should that be reworded? 61.69.164.7 10:25, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Badly organised and badly written
This article is a bit of a mess. For one thing, the section "Literary Significance and Criticism" isn't about that at all, but about the racism in the Bulldog Drummmond stories. The racism should be mentioned because it's conspicuous and offensive today in a way that it wasn't so much to readers back then, but the stuff in it should be moved elsewhere. Also, there are no inline citations for the quotes. Whoever put them there should provide them. I will reorganise the article a bit. Lexo (talk) 13:44, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't claim to have read all of the Bulldog Drummond books (yet!), but the same three or four racist references leads me to beleive that those are the ONLY racist passages in the books. I'd hardly call four sentences in several hundred thousand "conspicous". 86.164.113.83 (talk) 20:52, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * One thing that could help immediately is explaining whether "Sapper" is McNelle or Drummond, with a citation, of course. Apparently NcNelle identified strongly with his character, and the article, and the quotes used, call both of them "Sapper."  70.114.146.227 (talk) 21:13, 28 September 2013 (UTC) Eric
 * No, it doesn't "call both of them Sapper" at all - until my last edit, the name Sapper was mentioned only once - and in an unequivocal way. - SchroCat (talk) 23:39, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
