Copyright status?
Is this use of the long quoted text, to convey information about its subject rather than about the text itself or its author, really permissible as fair use? mglg(talk)

Pulitzer Prize Date?
The article linked at the bottom (http://www.thehistorymakers.com/biography/biography.asp?bioindex=569) says "The subject of a famous 1976 Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph..." This article has 1977. Which is it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.174.177.138 (talk) 20:52, 13 February 2007 (UTC).

Question
Is a broken nose a minor facial injury?

Description of incident
Actually while nothing excuses assault Landsmark had been unaware of the nature of the demonstration and had tried to walk through it. The demonstrators were parents and students from a mostly White neighborhood which had a large number of blacks introduced to their school through the practice of racially intergration school busing. They had been listening to speeches about resulting dislocation and disruption. They were told the authorities might try to break the demonstration up then suddenly there was this guy in a suit. Far from being "the man" he was there taking the shortest path to get a permit from City Hall for a client.

More
He seems to have had more than one name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.25.65.26 (talk) 14:51, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

appears to
Isn't saying "appears to weaponize the flag" a little ridiculous? The man was photographed mid-swing stabbing a man. He doesn't appear to, he's very clearly doing so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:196:4801:47D0:D9AA:7B77:3E2F:9B89 (talk) 12:46, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Removed references
, I remove the following references as they were not in the correct place. References are used to source a claim in the prose, not listed in the reference section itself. Feel free to ask for more help. -Reagle (talk) 16:12, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Peer Feedback
Weigers.g, overall I think your additions to the page provide really important information! I made a few changes to the wording of the first sentence of the “Aftermath of The Soiling of Old Glory” section for clarity and added a link to the page for Mayor Flynn near the end of the section. Beyond that, my suggestions to move it toward “perfect article” status would be to 1) try to incorporate some images into the page if you can find any. It might also be interesting to see if there are any video or audio clips of him talking about the incident that would be available for use. I don’t know if there will be anything that isn’t copyrighted, but it can’t hurt to look. 2) It might also be helpful to further explain “public ire” in the “Aftermath” section. Were there articles written about it at the time? Did it spark any pro-busing actions? 3) I think the phrase “anti-busing supporters” is a bit confusing. Having anti and supporters in the same phrase makes it a bit unclear what their position was. It might be more clear to say anti-busing protesters or something along those lines to make it more obvious that they were fighting against busing. Overall, I think you have a really great start and just a few changes can make the article even better! -Lavsam (talk) 03:41, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
