[edit] Article for retention (somewhere else)

I hope that when this page is deleted from Wikipedia that there is another place to archive it (unless it is libelous, of course). --Hjal 06:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

The entertaining mis-information has been archived here. NorCalHistory 04:34, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External Link for Sydney Ducks

Here is a site with a lot of information about the Sydney Ducks, if someone wants to expand this article with accurate information. NorCalHistory 06:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Semi-accurate information, that is. As with many 19th century historians Herbert Asbury had quite a bias. He tended to the salacious and is accused of being fairly loose in his fact checking. I guess victory always goes to those who write the histories. Wikidemo 00:37, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
I re-wrote it, though it could still use expansion. Given that the newspapers were all pro-vigilante in the 1850s, the Sydney Ducks haven't fared too well in the historiography, so hopefully this helps. bobanny (talk) 21:48, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
