[edit] Outlaw Trail Request

Can someone do a piece on the Outlaw Trail? That would be interesting. I tried to put up a request but couldn't navigate my way to the proper category. Sorry, I'm new here. --YellowLeftHand 09:23, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Death

I feel that

no remains with DNA matching them to the living relatives of Parker and Longabaugh have yet been discovered.

should be re-written

remains with DNA matching them ... Longabaugh have yet to be found (discovered?)

for better flow, but id like to get at least one person who agrees with me

• Roberty Leroy Parkers name should be removed since that name has not been proven real, by reliable sources such as birth certificates.

[edit] William Butch Wagner?

Is there any evidence supporting the claim that Butch Cassidy was really born William Butch Wagner? If nothing can be provided, the recent changes should be reverted. Justin

[edit] Anyone Notice

If you closley at the two pictures of the real Butch Cassidy, and of Robert Parker their faces don't match, even when you put a moustache over Robert Parker mug shot the faces still don't match.

Removed panel from the main article - it needs supporting references to be more than original research.

Comparison of Robert Parker's head, and Butch Cassidy's head. This comparison shows the actual Butch Cassidy had a more triangular jaw line than Robert Parker, as well as different shaped cheek bones and a much smaller nose.

[edit] Obstinate blanking

I believe there is a mechanism for freezing the content of an article, accessible to Wikipedia Administrators, I suppose. Any thoughts about getting this article frozen, to shut down the repeated anonymous deletion? Bertport 03:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I think what happens first is someone needs to warn the user on their user page (the one who is blanking). And if they don't stop then their account will be blocked. I think that's the procedure. I don't have time to do it right now...could someone else?--70.41.230.6 01:05, 12 August 2006 (UTC) --cda 11:37, 12 August 2006 (UTC) (wasn't logged in yesterday)

If you check his user page, you will see that multiple people have written him about it. There's no sign that he's ever read his own user page. Bertport 01:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, then the next step is I posted a "last warning" on the user 204.9.11.123 page. If they vandalize again we can list the account on this page for an admin to block that account. --cda 11:37, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, some progress - he blanked again, but he switched to a new IP address to do it. The new IP address has not edited Wikipedia before. Depending on how inconvenient it is for him to change IP addresses, we might eventually get somewhere by blocking every IP address he uses, I suppose. In any case, it's pretty clear that he read his own user page. Bertport 13:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, why do you assume it's a guy, that's sexist ; ) I reported this to admins. --cda 19:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] William T Phillips

I believe there is some evidence that William T Phillips was Butch Cassidy ([1] for example). There are even several books on the subject. I'm not sure that the evidence is conclusive, but I wonder if it isn't disingenuous to say that "no evidence supports the claims". Perhaps we should change it to "some nonconclusive evidence supports the claims" (with a reference or external link to more info) or perhaps expand the discussion of the controversy?

[edit] Real Name is Unconfirmed

The name Robert LeRoy Parker needs to be reomoved from the article because on a DVD of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid it states that Butch Cassidy's real name is unknown. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gwag (talk • contribs) 01:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC).
