[edit] Section on New Left Historians

This seems like an important topic, but the paragraphs currently under this section are incoherent at best.Dpmath (talk) 22:52, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Looking back at the page as it was at the beginning of the year shows that multiple edits by different people have reduced the cohesiveness of the article and important facts have been dropped. Perhaps the structure and/or pasting back in key paragraphs from the page's previous versions would help? -- Ashley VH (talk) 23:12, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I see that the original (unsigned) version from January 21, 2007 does make more sense, though it does feel a little "dropped into" the page---like it was spliced from elsewhere. It seems to address an argument that doesn't appear elsewhere on this page. I would agree that it might be good to restore this first version, but it could use further editing to make it appropriate to the article as a whole. I can come back and give it a try in a few weeks, if nobody with some sound background in this area doesn't want to step up to the plate in the meantime. Cheers.

[edit] Manifesto

Was this group armed? Were/are there armed gay groups in the tradition of the Black Panther Party? etc.

No, though in the manifesto the intent was to defend themselves: "If this involves violence, it will not be we who initiate this, but those who attempt to stand in our way to freedom." -- Ashley VH 15:17, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
