47.3 v 473
You may want to look at the source material again - I don't see a decimal point between the 7 and the 3. Pairadox 04:13, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, I noticed that. It appears to be a typo on the part of the author. If Mexicans had been lynched at a rate of 473 per 100,000 population, the total number of lynching victims would have been a lot higher than 597. But I'll take a look at it again.

 * Well that's annoying. What is the best course of action when the source material contains such an error, I wonder? Pairadox 04:59, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

(edit conflict) -you were correct, I just took a look at the numbers and 358 individuals were lynched during that period, with the population under 100,000 — Preceding unsigned comment added by ReplicantJA (talk • contribs)


 * So my question is moot, except in a theoretical sense. :) BTW, I like to keep discussions together. So do a lot of other people, so it's good to check in any boxes at the top of talk pages. And here's an "official" welcome... Pairadox 05:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
