Strange-sounding paragraph
The "Frank Hamer was that rara avis..." paragraph sounds like it's trying to idolize him. How can this be fixed? Eyu100(t|fr|Version 1.0 Editorial Team) 03:49, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
- Done-that looked de trop to me as well. Maybe without a couple of editors here who have overriden about every move made, some more things can be done to improve this article. Hushpuckena (talk) 21:38, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
Rm rewrite tag
Tag has been posted for months with no evidence for interest in any kind of rewrite. Article is very well referenced, factually correct and thorough. 65.96.0.19 (talk) 17:56, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
Why is this in here?
"Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker were young and unmarried. They undoubtedly slept together."
- Because as is clear in the article it is part of a direct quotation, cited there, from Jeff Guin trying to explain why a couple of no-account two-bit criminals have achieved such lasting notoriety. Sensei48 (talk) 16:06, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Reduntant: outlaws, robbers and criminals?
This phrase is in the first sentence of the introduction. Aren't all criminals, outlaws by definition? I think this phrase should be shortened to just "bank robbers". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nutster (talk • contribs) 13:31, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
Eminem Related?
Is Eminem's song '97 Bonnie and Clyde; related to this, and if so, how? lskitto (talk) 06:02, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry for a delayed response. Most editors who work on this article point out that the Eminem song has nothing whatsoever to do with Bonnie and Clyde - nothing in the lyrics suggests even remotely the historical facts about the couple. Sensei48 (talk) 03:54, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
edit away
Get rid of the picture of the death car. This was not the car they died in, its not even the right color. There were perhaps a dozen fakes running around and this was one of them. Amazing how you egg-heads missed it. Busceda (talk) 02:46, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Bonnie Parker firing a BAR?
I have heard some recent documentaries on Bonnie and Clyde state that Bonnie Parker rarely used guns, and that the photographs of her posing with various weapons was intended as a joke, but has misled people into thinking she was a firearms expert. This article says she was an expert with the Browning Automatic Rifles (BAR), but the only reference given seems to be a book about the Browning Automatic Rifle. It would be better if a Bonnie Parker biography were quoted instead. I'm not sure a book about a gun is going to provide the most accurate information about one of its users.
