1960 U-2 incident / Fixing things that are quoted
Hi CONDPATICUL,

Thanks for your edit in 1960 U-2 incident.

When you fix stuff, please be particularly careful when it comes to original quotes. Rep. Clarence Cannon did actually and floridly say "Russian Empire" in his speech -- I looked it up in the Congressional Record, which is online -- so even when something like that grates or is factually incorrect, we shouldn't change original quotes, not even the ones that appear offensive to us nowadays. If you ever find something that you think shouldn't be quoted, please write about it on the article's Talk page, where that subject may have been discussed already in any case.

Please feel free to contact me should you ever need help.

All the best, == Peter NYC (talk) 03:12, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
