Talk:Ole Miss riot of 1962

Untitled
Noting for the record that the edit I reverted consists largely of editorializing regarding the events that obviously comes from a segregationist point of view. Nine large, very POV paragraphs contain numerous dubious claims, without citation -- despite the editor's claim in an edit summary that he restored this version of the page because a previous reversion "vandalized important sources".

Orphaned references in Ole Miss riot of 1962
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 Ole Miss riot of 1962'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.

Reference named "Time": From University of Mississippi:  From Leon Daniel: "The Press: They Stayed", Time Magazine, May 12, 1975. 

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. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:15, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Looking at the older versions of the page, I fixed the cite from what I could determine. Kierzek (talk) 13:01, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Who is Senator E. K. Collins?
''' ... on September 25, Senator E. K. Collins made a speech stating that "we must win this fight regardless of the cost in time, effort, money and in human lives." ''' I can't find any evidence of a Senator E. K. Collins; the closest I found was Edward Collins (Wisconsin politician) but he wasn't a Senator and he lived a hundred years earlier. - Brian Kendig (talk) 14:46, 20 September 2022 (UTC)


 * According to one of the sources Collins was a Mississippi state senator, some mentions also describe them as being from Laurel (presumably Laurel, Mississippi). I can find other mentions, e.g. this report mentions a contribution from a Mississippi state senator called E. K. Collins.  Hut 8.5  18:25, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * also mentions an E. K. Collins representing District 5.  Hut 8.5  18:31, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Mississippi State Flag
Should the Mississippi flag in the "parties" section of the infobox be changed to reflect the current flag of Mississippi? It currently displays the second flag. OpportuneOzymandias (talk) 18:02, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
