Talk:Sundance Kid

New to sections?
I don't think the reference given for the speculation that Sundance lived until 1936 is credible. Janemansfield74 (talk) 04:52, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually there is an article which claims that Long's DNA does in fact match up to the Kid's father and another descendent. There appears in the very least that there is some evidence he could have been the Sundance Kid.

I'm a little confused: he was sentenced to prison for 18 months in 1887, and was released in 1896 when he met Butch Cassidy. I've heard time goes by slower in the big house... 130.13.50.112 (talk) 17:02, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * "after Cassidy was released from prisonn". Cassidy. --Ian Dalziel (talk) 21:37, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Requested move

The result of the proposal was move per request as the common name.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 14:28, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Harry Longabaugh → The Sundance Kid — "article title should generally be the name by which the subject is most commonly known" MOS:BIO. The name "Harry Longabaugh" is not commonly known but the name "The Sundance Kid" is known worldwide. Everyone knows of the Redford-Newman movie. The inter-wiki links to other languages mostly use "The Sundance Kid", eg: de:Sundance Kid. Continuity would also be nice since his partner's article uses his alias: Butch Cassidy --Hutcher (talk) 21:34, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Support Sundance Kid (without "The") per WP:THE. The article is not an integral part of his name and is frequently left off.  Also, Kid Curry is at his birth name.  —  AjaxSmack   01:09, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

"his verified involvement in shootouts is unknown"?
Erm...Wouldn't his verified involvement in shootouts be known, having been verified, while his involvement in other shootouts be unknown? Reluctant to touch the sentence myself, since I'm not completely positive that the intent is to say "it is unknown what other shootouts he was involved in." 76.119.235.42 (talk) 22:06, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

The Longabaugh
Josiah's (born Jeseiah) father was Conrad Langenbach from Germany, born 1755, who came to the U.S. as indentured servant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:C0:DF11:DD00:2C0D:3B5F:39D9:73AB (talk) 09:01, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Disputed death
I added the phrase "most historians believe" to the passage about their death in Bolivia, because it is popularly disputed and not conclusively proven. This should probably be rewritten to make it a little clearer that most actual historians think it unlikely that it wasn't those two, while still mentioning the dispute, given how many people believe it. Not really sure how to write such a thing though Jonathan FarnhamJ 17:45, 25 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I think we really need to understand that most of what we know about Butch and Sundance comes from a movie, really well scripted by William Goldman who won an Oscar for it, and that many have since romanticized the lives of Butch/Sundance, including that they actually escaped justice to live on incognito, as many would like to fantasize because they love stories of immortalized men who "beat the system." look, it's a great movie, one of my favorites, but ... it's a movie. soibangla (talk) 09:31, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
