Removal of Note
I regretfully have removed the note that attributes a section title in Robert Heinlein's The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress to the title of Roberts' novel Rabble In Arms. The key word that rendered the note unusable was "apparently." Roberts makes clear at the frontispiece of the novel that the title is derived from a very famous comment by British Gen. Thomas Gage following the Battle of Bunker Hill - that the colonials were "a rabble in arms, flushed with victory and insolence." Former military man Heinlein is at least as likely to be quoting Gage as Roberts, and without a definitive source, the note needs to go. Sensei48 (talk) 06:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Controversies: Immigration
Roberts wrote a number of anti-immigration texts that today are not considered okey. But did they create any controversies in his own time? The other controversies discussed in the article had some contemporary reaction, but nothing is mentioned about anyone arguing against his stand on immigration. So is is a controversy or just something the editor(s) find unpleasant today? Creuzbourg (talk) 21:05, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
