Talk:The Autobiography of Malcolm X/Archive 3

GabeMc's AMX draft
Here is a link to my draft, a work in progress.

Please leave any comments and/or suggestions on the draft's discussion page. — GabeMc (talk) 22:18, 27 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks Gabe. I'll read it over the weekend and leave comments. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 22:42, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks Malik, I would appreciate your comments and suggestions. I won't be able to finish the draft until the Cambridge companion arrives, likely next week, but in the meantime I would be more than happy to work in your suggestions and comments so that the article is one you are in agreement with. I have created a new section for your comments on the AMX draft's discussion page. Please bullet point your comments and suggestions so I can checklist them as I did with Protonk's comments. — GabeMc (talk) 00:31, 28 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I moved the talk page discussion of the draft to Talk:The Autobiography of Malcolm X/AMX Draft. I'm not sure how to get the archive box up top to generate a link to it. Protonk (talk) 02:05, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the only way to get an automatic link to that Talk archive may be to move it to Talk:The Autobiography of Malcolm X/Archive 2. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:33, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

endashes
It looks like I introduced endashes to all the page numbers for printed references (Shakes fist at citationbot). I know this sort of thing is preferred by picky copy-editors, but I didn't do it on purpose. Feel free to revert me if that isn't desired. Protonk (talk) 20:01, 6 October 2010 (UTC)


 * The pickier the better. — GabeMc (talk) 22:16, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Charles Percy
An editor added this sentence to the lede today:
 * Charles Percy sad of the "Autobiography", that "Every white person should read it". (Source: "I Can Hear it Now: The 1960s" audio recording with Walter Cronkite)

The Percy of the quote, I assume, is Senator Charles H. Percy.

Rather than move the sentence to the "Legacy and influence" section of the article, I brought it here for comment by other editors. What do you think of the source? Should we include the quote? — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 18:48, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Do we know which track? I think I can get them individually on Amazon.  If there is more to the quote it might be useful.  Otherwise it might just be a little much for an already quote heavy article. Protonk (talk) 20:15, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

The Walter Cronkite album: The Way it Was: The 1960s: has the following portion mentioned on Side 3. which began with the following words:

"In 1965, Three great voices of the 20th Century, were stilled. In January it was Winston Churchill, in April, Edward R. Morrow, In July, it was Adlai Stevenson. And from an assassin's bullet, a man called Malcolm X, who's Autobiography would sell in this decade an enormous impact of sales, was something that even Charles Percy said that "Every White Person Should Read it".  This happened before Malcolm X defining Black Power and his position against non-violence.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.231.47.70 (talk) 00:12, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Editions
The article section on editions of AMX states that the first paperback edition appeared in 1969. I used to own a Grove Press paperback edition with an introduction by M.S. Handler that appeared in 1965 -- I believe the book had a product number of 5174. Unfortunately, my copy is in storage. Can anyone confirm this? If so, I'll update the article.

 * You're correct Bwotte. Thanks for the catch, I'll change it now. GabeMc  (talk&#124;contribs)  20:09, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

In April 2010, the New York Post reported that the missing chapters would be published
February 2014 - where are the chapters?Xx236 (talk) 09:35, 21 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Good question. Ask Gregory Reed, who owns them. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 17:47, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Yakub
Yakub_(Nation_of_Islam) paragraph 4 refers to this book and some discussion of a "bleaching" process. I think this should be mentioned here too. Anyone know the chapter and page? ScratchMarshall (talk) 09:32, 3 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Do reliable sources indicate that Yakub is a significant theme in the Autobiography? If not, WP:PROPORTION suggests that it shouldn't be mentioned. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 23:30, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
