Here's a similar list of articles for "Negationism in India: Concealing the Record of Islam":

Aero Club of America

[edit]
  • Automobilists Now Interested in Aerial Navigation (New York Tribune, 8/17/1905)
    • Members of the Automobile Club of America determined to form the Aero Club of America and identified persons to hold certain roles.
    • Augustus Post was named as 2nd Vice President of the putative Aero Club of America.
[edit]
The inability to consent does not mean that a minor always protests; it simply means the state does not recognize the minor's ability to act on his or her own behalf. This legal fiction creates a gray area between consent and non-consent that only the Seventh and Ninth Circuits have been willing to address.
  • Takeaways:
    • Actual consent (or lack thereof) exists independent of the age of consent.
    • The legal concept of statutory rape is implied by enacting a statute which declares an age of consent.
    • Modern laws which restrict sex with minors (i.e. in most states of the U.S.) do not rely on an age of consent statute.
  • Statutory Rape: When Is a Crime Not a Crime? (Los Angeles Times, 8/6/1997)
  • Takeaways:
    • Difficult to imagine such a turnaround in attitude about the seriousness of this crime.
    • There seemingly has been little attempt to challenge these laws on the constitutional issues raised.
[edit]

Citations purport to support the following claims:

  • The age of consent in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is 15.
  • The penalty for statutory rape of a girl over 13 but under 15 is five years' imprisonment
  • The penalty if the girl is under 13 is life imprisonment.

American Automobile Association

[edit]

The organizational meeting of the AAA would occur on March 4, 1902, but two days in adance, the story shown below was published:

  • Automobilists in Convention at Chicago

    "The promoters of the plan advocate an interdependent federation of clubs to aid in the development, introduction, and use of motor vehicles. The contemplated premises for organization are, briefly, that all regularly constituted and active automobile clubs of acceptable repute be eligible to membership on an equitable basis of representation in all deliberative matters within the purview of the federation. ... the practical objects which it is believed may be attained by club co-operation are:

    • Protecting of the legal rights of automobile users.
    • Improvements of public highways
    • Development and introduction of the automobile
    • Equitable regulation of automobile racing and trials of endurance and efficiency
    • A medium for counsel and interchange of ... ideas and suggestions
When the Automobile Club of America offered its plan of affiliation last fall, there was general opposition, particularly on the part of the big clubs, and when the New York organization decided to abandon the plan, it very properly put the matter up to the opposing clubs, with the request that they issue any call that might be deemed necessary in order to properly launch a national organization. ...

American Motor League

[edit]

Originally formed in 1895... here are sources regarding the club and its formation:

  • Automobile Quarterly 1962: First on the Streets of Detroit

    In 1895, King organized the American Motor League to promote better roads. On November 28, 1895, he participated in the Chicago Times-Herald auto race, conducted over a 50-mile, snow-covered route from Chicago to Evanston and back

    .
  • America adopts the automobile, 1895-1910:

    The first automobile club in the United States was the American Motor League. Charles B. King suggested its organization in a letter of October 8, 1895, to the Chicago Times-Herald, and it was founded on November 1, 1895, shortly before the Times-Herald race. Charter members included King, the Duryeas, Elwood P. Haynes, and several other industrial pioneers. This attempt to organize American motorists was premature, and the American Motor League failed to get off the ground.

  • American Motor League Will Meet:

    ... a meeting will be held at Chicago during the show of the American Motor League, which was organized at the time of the trials promoted by the Chicago Herald on Oct. 29, 1895.

  • Chicago History 1982 Fall & Winter
    • The Thanksgiving Day Race of 1895 (p, 49)
      • pp. 56-57:

        ... it is proposed to form a National Organization which will have as its object the furtherance of all details connected with this broad subject, and to hold stated meetings, when papers can be read and discussion follow as to the respective merits of all points in question. Such an organization is needed now, and upon its formation would meet with the hearty cooperation of the newspapers, the friends of good roads and the public at large. It is therefore proposed that such an organization be now formed and have as its name the AMERICAN MOTOR LEAGUE. This title is broad and it is well suited to survive any change that the future may bring.

        On November 29, 1895, the day following the great Chicago race, the new club was formed with Charles Duryea and Charles King among its officers. It had been Herman Kohlisaat's wish all along that the motorcar competition he had organized would be more than just a race. It was.

  • Organization That is Patterned After Old Wheelmen's League:

    A reorganization of the body that was formed in 1895 was perfected and officers elected Edwin F. Brown ... chosen President... First vice-president, Charles Duryea ...

anti-vaxxers

[edit]

The notion that philosophical freedom precludes measures designed to guard the public health (e.g. as to efforts to reduce the spread of a disease) is rampant silliness. If everybody dies, there is obviously no freedom left for anyone to enjoy. We have demonstrated our ability to control the spread of the disease, but a perfect protection cannot be provided instantaneously. To those who would say that we must not impose restrictions on the public because our tools are not perfect or because some people could be harmed, this response is nonsense. Communicability of disease is fact, we are not living in isolated communities, and the notion of a freedom that comes at the expense of widespread death and disease as requiring protection is nonsensical. Those who will demand a freedom that plausibly puts the public health at great risk cannot be tolerated.

Therefore, I present here those who proffer the right for such a nonsensical demand of freedom:

Automobile Club of America

[edit]

Originally formed in 1899... here are sources regarding its formation:

  • America adopts the automobile, 1895-1910:

    The Automobile Club of America was founded at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City on June 7, 1899, by nine prominent New York automobilists and soon became the most powerful as well as the first successfully organized local automobile club in the United States. At its first regular meeting on October 16, 1899, the membership committee reported that 85 applications for membership had been received, 35 of which had been accepted. The ACA constitution proided for four classes of member -- honorary, life, active, and associate (that is, nonresident). Honorary members were limited to 25 and active members to 400, but no limits were set for the number of associate or life members. Committees were soon formed to initiate action on virtually everymatter of importance having to do with motor vehicles.

A few Wikipedia articles make reference to a paper by Gwen J. Broude and Sarah J. Greene. There are in fact two papers:

Brown v. Board of Education reasoning

[edit]

In the 04:56, 2 March 2019 revisionof Brown v. Board, it is stated

The Court did not address the case's issues regarding the high frequency with which the segregated educational facilities for black children in the cases were inferior in quality to those for white children, probably in part because some of the school districts involved had made improvements to their black schools to "equalize" them with the quality of the white schools.

This is cited to page 735 of the 2015 edition of Chemerinsky's "Constitutional Law: Principles and Policies"], which states, in pertinent part:

... the Court said that "there are findings below that the Negro and white schools involved have been equalized, or are being equalilzed, with respect to buildings, curricula, qualifications and salaries of teachers, and other 'tangible factors' Our decision, therefore, cannot turn on merely a comparison of those tangible factors in the Negro and white schools .. We must look instead to the effect of segregation itself on public education" ... The Court probably characterized the issue this way, in part, because there had been factual findings by some of the district courts of equalization between the black and white schools(footnote 105) and, in part, to reach the basic question: Is separate but equal constitutional in public education? ... the court stated the issue presented as 'Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race ... deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities? The court answered ... that state-mandated segregation inherently stamps black children as inferior and impairs their educational opportunities.'

This analysis omits the fact that in the 1951 Topeka case, the plaintiffs had in fact stipulated that the facilities were equal. This piece of information is at least as compelling as the claim that some school districts had taken steps to equalize the black schools with the white schools, for it implied that no matter how successful the defendants might be in providing equal facilities, it would not overcome the inequality inherent in "separate but equal" schools.

The Cambridge History of Africa

[edit]

citations sometimes list editor for a different volume

[edit]

See The Cambridge History of Africa.

Editors vary by volume, and it appears that citations often list the wrong editor.

Note there are about 400 articles on English Wikipeda that contain references to this set. French Wikipedia has another 100 articles and German Wikipedia has 50. A google search shows substantially larger numbers. Non-article pages don't seem to account for this difference.

As an example, on Mohamed Bach Hamba, the citation for volume 7 has had the wrong editor listed since the article was created in 2013, i.e. Michael Crowder rather than A. D. Roberts.

  • Item OL16476364W is correctly associated with the ISBN for volume 5, though cover displayed is volume 2.
  • A search at archive.org displays returns results for volumes 2, 3, 4, and 5. The metadata for each of these shows Openlibrary_edition OL4875409M Openlibrary_work OL16476364W.

Google Books links seem to provide acces to most of the content. Sugest using the "embed link" and either paging manually or modifying the desired page number in the link.

archive.org search fails to find volumes which are available on archive.org

[edit]

A search on archive.org for "the cambridge history of africa" returns volumes 2, 3, 4, and 5.

I found volume 7 on OpenLibrary, which (nevertheless) provided the following archive.org link: https://archive.org/details/cambridgehistory07robe (The Cambridge History of Africa/Volume 7/c.1905-c.1940).

So it seems that some things are out of whack.

    • This website identifies many false, misleading, or perhaps merely confusing statements about credit scores.
    • Among the myths is a claim that "the FICO score first appeared in 1989."

denial of voting rights

[edit]
  • A New Slavery: Colored Voters, Read This and Be Warned (Iowa State Bystander 9/21/1900, col 4) alternate link

    Democratic leaders in West Virginia are very solitcitous of the negro vote. They profess great friendship for them. Let the negro look at what they do in Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and indeed all over the south with "Jim Crow car" laws and disfranchisement of colored voters. Senator Tillman of South Carolina is close to Bryan and is a leader of what he said in the United States senate on Feb. 26, 1900: "We have 125,000 negroes of voting age, and we had 100,000 whites. Beat that by honest methods. Yet you stood up here and insisted that we must give these people a "free vote and a fair count." They had it for eight years"

We stuffed ballot boxes. We shot them. We are not ashamed of it. With that system--force, tissue ballots, etc.-- we got tired ourselves. So we called a constitutional convention, and we eliminated, as I have said, all of the colored people whom we could under the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments."

If the Democrats carry the legislature of West Virginia, what will happen to the colored people?

Equality Mississippi press releases

[edit]

Equality Mississippi press releases are frequently available from sources such as glapn.org (commonly scarfed from sodomylaws.org). But the original form of the press release is available from wayback archive, e.g. http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.equalityms.org/* , though there is no direct mapping of the local portion of the url. It appears there are only 32 press release (i.e. in pdf format), though they go back to at least 2001.

Note this domain is currently "on offer" so best to grab these e.g. re-archive to archive.today.

Florida School for Boys subsequent investigation

[edit]

At the end of Florida_School_for_Boys#Exhumations and identifications, the citation for the statement "... anthropologist Dr. Erin Kimmerle was going to return to investigate if anomolies [sic] discovered were, in fact, more graves" provides only the name of the person who made the statement, i.e. no publication is specified, much less a link. There is no information provided on this subsequent investigation.

The sources shown below document the presumed subsequent investigation, mostly all dated August 26 or August 27 (sometimes an update of the August 26 story). Many of these sources are duplicates. The suggestion is to review these stories, figure out what the salient points are to replace the vague statement about some "upcoming" investigation that is not otherwise documented in the current Wikipedia article.

Foreign Policy World's Fastest-Growing Religions

The long sad story is that Foreign Policy published a story titled "The List: The World's Fastest-Growing Religions" in the May 14, 2007 issue, which has been linked from a dozen or more articles; the original link now returns a 404 page, but there is a new live link. In some cases, the link has been replaced by an unrelated link (bellbookandcandlepublications.com). The best rendering is actually available as an archive of the original link.

Huxman and Brown v. Board

[edit]

Summarizing the logic of the Brown v. Board decision (non-citable source):

Given the finding of material equality in physical facilities, the Court concluded that no feasible remedy existed within the framework of "separate but equal" to rectify the constitutional violations caused by segregation. Consequently, the Court determined that the only appropriate course of action was to overturn Plessy v. Ferguson and declare segregation in public education unconstitutional.
  • Huxman sided with the African American plaintiffs (John Brown to Bob Dole: movers and shakers in Kansas history)
    • As presiding judge on the three-judge federal district court panel that tried Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka in June 1951, Judge Huxman sided with the African American plaintiffs...

Murder of Charles Gale

[edit]

On March 2, 1901, a person by the name of Charles Gale (originally identified as George Gale) went into the Peniel Mission Restaurant at 39 Bowery in New York City, and ordered some food. When done, he indicated he was unable to pay the check of six cents. As reports have it, 4 restaurant employees beat him up, such harsh treatment evidently being the custom in this neighborhood for customers unable to pay, in order to discourage restaurants from being cheated.

Gale died shortly thereafter, evidently as a result of the beating. Two of the employees who beat him were tried for murder, but they were convicted for assault only, on the theory that Gale had died due to a heart problem. The two employees each received a one-year jail sentence.

National Motorists Association

[edit]

There are three distinct organizations that use or have used this name:

  • National Motorists Association operating in the U.K.
  • National Motorists Association in the U.S., operating from approximately 1922 to 1924 and possibly beyond (the successor organization, American Motorists Association, is included with this organization)
  • National Motorists Association in the U.S., started in 1982 as Citizens’ Coalition for Rational Traffic Laws

The interest here is in the association that formed in 1922 as a splinter group of local auto clubs affiliated with American Automobile Association and which, a couple of years later, was purportedly re-united with AAA after AAA agreed to modifications of its governance and operations, but this is disputed. (When doing an exact search on the organization, be aware it's often identified as National Motorist Association.)

These links will help locate newspaper stories referencing "National Motorists Association" and the successor name of "American Motorists Association":

Nebraska Studies

[edit]

The "Nebraska Studies" website was restructured at some point, e.g. urls referring to generally the same content were changed from being based on section numbers (or something along those lines) to a textual description. It seems that dysfunctional redirects are implemented, breaking many or most of the Wayback links. There are also some discrepancies, e.g. content relating to events happening in 1909 is mentioned in a section that's sometimes called "after World War I". Sigh.

Note there are somewhere around 90 articles citing Nebraska Studies.... one down, 89 to go.

Other sources include the document repository at https://www.telephonecollectors.info/ and archive.org.

Hopefully, this section will get updated to include working links to each of the pertinent documents.

This is from The History of Phone Phreaking website:

The Exploding the Phone website is essentially a migrated version of History of Phone Phreaking, but if you want to look at the available content without being limited to the navigation pages provided, you may want to look at the wayback archive of History of Phone Phreaking. It can be tedious to do that, but at least you know you can see all the files there (unless Wayback missed some files when crawling it). If you want to navigate the "phone phreaking" website, you need to start from a pre-2013 link from the Wayback copy of the historyofphonephreaking home page.

The idea that a court would accept Wikipedia content as a valid source struck me as quite alarming, given what seems the comparative ease with which one can post erroneous content, without the content necessarily being verified or otherwise validated.
