Revolutionary Beginnings[edit]
This is indeed an important piece in understanding what Scott Braley is all about. I might suggest that you polish what is there and try to expand on this section a bit more. The wording in the first sentence is a little awkward. Otherwise, nice article.Ossu (talk) 01:49, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Can you elaborate on his childhood, and college time? Do you know what his part was in SDS and Weatherman? Did he participate in "Days of Rage?"Elizabethgaye22 (talk) 04:44, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
I wanted to clarify in the section headed, Hampton-Clark Murders if in fact the name (Frank) is correct. Did you mean, (Fred)?Outlawstudent (talk) 07:59, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for catching that! I have no idea why I put Frank. Neongolden (talk) 19:59, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Ambiguity of Reference to Birthplace/Citation for Birthplace[edit]
In the entry-end categories, this person is described as both: "People from Midland, Michigan" and "People from Oakland, California." Which is correct, and what is the source of this information?--Historytrain (talk) 15:04, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
- I added those categories: Oakland, California, because that's where he seems to have lived for a while; and Midland, Michigan because it was listed as his birthplace, and I didn't find any other information on him "growing up" anywhere else instead. I only added the categories; I didn't write the original text. The Oakland one appears to be sourced from the Berger book, but the text doesn't say at what time he was known to have lived there, which means it could become an outdated fact if it doesn't have an "as of" qualifier. I have no idea where the Midland birthplace came from. I added categories just to help people browsing by category topics. I don't think there's any Wikipedia guideline on what qualifies someone for a "People from" category; it could be that Midland was just the nearest town with a hospital and his childhood home was somewhere else; when I see something like that, I usually move the person to the place they were raised, rather than where the birth happened to occur. --Closeapple (talk) 13:07, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
