Criticism/controversy
Repeating what has been said here before: Anything added to the criticism and controversy section needs to include an explanation, with sources, of who objected to Farrakhan's words/actions. Without that, the addition merely promotes the editor's point of view that they are controversial, and the material should be removed. 24.22.217.162 (talk) 02:38, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith
Not bias whatsoever. How and why does this belong here exactly. The funniest part is mentioning they have a cute little Top 10 antisemitic slurs of that year" list. It's about time for this site to start quoting Black Entertainment Television as a legitimate political source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.173.36 (talk) 09:50, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Source on three NOI shooters
There was a "citation needed" sticker tied to the statement about the three shooters. I believe the NY Times article I cited passes muster and provides the needed factual documentation. Liam Patrick (talk) 05:44, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
Cited sources are incomplete
There are several citations in the Malcolm X's death section that simply list the last name of authors who are not mentioned anywhere else in the article, namely:
- Rickford, pp. 437, 492–495.
- Evanzz, pp. 298–299.
- Kondo, pp. 182–183, 193–194.
- Marable, p. 305.
- Rickford, pp. 436–439, 492–495.
- Rickford, p. 492.
Does anyone else see these names or their related works mentioned at any other point in the article? Perhaps we might try to verify these sources... Ender and Peter 19:10, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
- The citations to the books are given in full at Malcolm X#Works cited. Somebody copied the footnotes and forgot to copy the bibliographic information. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 19:42, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
== I am honored to have experienced such an encouraging word by the minister during his last visit in tampa ==
Birth nameCurrently this says he was born with a different last name than either of his parents had. It might be a good idea to explain why this is the case. 85.157.76.57 (talk) 21:30, 18 November 2013 (UTC) |
