[edit] Kenny Rogers Roasters

It would be nice to have a source for the comment about "record sales of any chicken restaurant chain". The ones that around here are gone. Would "gross sales volume per unit" be meant? Rlquall 20:33, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the statement in accordance with Wikipedia policy on unsourced statements. --TommyBoy 21:02, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bluegrass Conspiracy

In accordance with Wikipedia polcies and guidelines, a verifiable source needs to be cited for Brown's alleged involvement in the Bluegrass Conspiracy. --TommyBoy 17:11, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Since no one has come forward with a verifiable source to back up the information, I have removed it from the article. --TommyBoy 00:04, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reverted Edits

I have reverted unsourced edits made by User:64.253.166.252, which included an alleged gambling investigation of then-Governor Brown, and an alleged drug invesitgation of a Brown associate. Wikipedia's "Biographies of Living Persons" policy very clearly states that edits of this type must have sources or they will be subject to removal. If in fact these investigation did really happen, I would urge the user who added the information to cite a source for his edits. --TommyBoy 22:54, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

The same user has re-added the information, citing sources for his edits. --TommyBoy 02:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] john brown.

John Brown was a man of action. On October 16, 1859, He led 21 men on a raid of federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry Virginia. His plan is to arm slaves with the weapons he and his men seized from the arsenal was defeated. The militiamen and Marines led by Robert E Lee. In 36 hours of the attack most of Brown's men had been killed or captured.

There is more than one John Brown with an article on Wikipedia. You are referring to John Brown (abolitionist). --TommyBoy (talk) 13:26, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
