Talk:Thomas Peters (revolutionary)

In freetown?
What does that "in freetown" in the date parentheses mean? Fresheneesz 05:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It means that he died in Freetown on that day. If we had the location of his birth, We'd have put that next to his birthday.--Thomas.macmillan 15:48, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The placement of the "in freetown" wasn't clear - and the article says he died in freetown "further" down. Fresheneesz 18:35, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Why is the DailyKos listed as a reliable source? Why didn't you just cite the National Inquirer if you wanted nonsense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.130.158.80 (talk) 19:54, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Article Name
Is the name "Thomas Peters (revolutionary)" a bit odd? He was certainly a visionary leader but one who found that freedom for Africans was best achieved at the time by opposing American Revolutionaries, not in joining them. Wouldn't more appropriate titles be Thomas Peters (African leader) or Thomas Peters (abolitionist)? Letterofmarque (talk) 02:45, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed. What about Thomas Peters (Black loyalist)? - Themightyquill (talk) 09:49, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Relationship Spam
I am not knowledgeable on Wikipedia edit rules but have to say that the talk of his marrriages in Nigeria and later in Nova Scotia is obvious spam added in April and May of 2011. There are no sources, if you read the original edits they are riddled with misspellings and errors, the names are made up, etc. 12.177.127.226 (talk) 02:53, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Image
The image depicting Thomas Peters is identical to the one (File:EquianoExeterpainting.jpg) used to depict Olaudah Equiano in his article. It can't be both of them, and this should be noted somehow. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:48, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

This is an image of Olaudah Equiano, not Thomas Peters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.243.40.137 (talk) 18:51, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Do we know birth year
It seems a bit much to assume we can formulate an exact borth year in Yorubaland. I am thinking we broaby should admit that we do not know the birth year exactly and only state it was about 1738. I think stating that year as exact is going beyond what can be verified.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:07, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
