Talk:World Anti-Slavery Convention

Made Top
Made top priority as this was a key event in US and UK women's rights (as well as anti slavery) Victuallers (talk) 11:01, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

When was the title "World Anti-Slavery Convention" first used for this event? Is that what the BFSS actually called it? Why is William Wemyss Anderson - who spoke, and had travelled from Jamaica - not mentioned in the list of delegates?78.105.244.10 (talk) 16:43, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

The listing
I have just been writing Benjamin Barron Wiffen, who was a delegate; and this led me to an official listing of delegates on JSTOR (https://www.jstor.org/stable/60228328). The numbering there goes up to 493.

Evidently the list in the article isn't definitive, and the painting isn't the only guide. So what should be done about the delegate list (which also gives brief locations)? Charles Matthews (talk) 11:26, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Only the important got into the painting - the listing in the article does say in the pic or not. I'm going to have a look at the list to see what might be done. Thanks for the heads up. Victuallers (talk) 11:33, 30 July 2015 (UTC) I haved added wiffen and I see there are others like Elizabeth Ann Ashurst Bardonneau Victuallers (talk) 12:11, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

William Brock - rbbb ?
The position of William Brock in the Incomplete list of delegates is given as "rbbb". Is this an error or does it have a certain meaning which should be explained ? --Rsk6400 (talk) 09:25, 23 November 2020 (UTC) - Dont know... sorry, but I have fixed it and added a few more snippets Victuallers (talk) 11:52, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
