[edit] Comments
I liked the way that the article was formatted. It has many good qualities that go into making a great article. There are some grammatical errors. I found places in the article where a better word could possiply be used to make the article sound better.Blund4 (talk) 02:00, 22 November 2007 (UTC)The article has some rough spots like all articles do but overall it looks good. The article was very provacitive in that it got right to the point , but jumped around a bit.Blund4 (talk) 02:00, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Comment: As of 11/23, it appears that some change made to your second endnote, which might be a fellow editor's mishap, has disturbed the readability of the citation. Please double-check or reinstate it. --Historytrain (talk) 17:56, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
- I think you're referring to the fact that I changed the 34 separate references to Cathy Wilkerson's 2007 book to one reference that is linked to 34 times, listing each reference on one line, instead of having a huge references section. The problem I see, is that the article is almost TOO referenced. When an entire paragraph is cited to a single source, each individual sentence shouldn't need to be cited, giving an absurdly huge refs section. Murderbike (talk) 18:59, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Comment:The author gave a very thorough picture of Terry Robbins life. It is well souced and well written. The article offers an objective perspective on his life while also giving the reader look into his personality and crucial life changing events.masona345 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 07:43, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Weathermen (1969)
This section has the line "The aggressiveness, seriousness, and toughness of militant struggle will attract vast numbers of working class youth." It seems like a quote, but isn't in quotes. Is it a quote, or just poorly worded for it's context? Murderbike (talk) 18:24, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Comment: Although they were sometimes referred to by others as "Weathermen" or "the Weathermen," I think the more usual self-reference within/to the collective was "Weatherman." --Historytrain (talk) 17:56, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
You mentioned that Terry Robbins withdrew from Kenyon College after his sophomore year in college due to a lack of support from the school, you might want to elaborate on that a bit more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blund4 (talk • contribs) 04:05, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
I thought that the paper was very well written in that the quality of it was measured not just by the lenght but by the way that the paper flowed and the thoughtful work that was put into it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blund4 (talk • contribs) 04:13, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Terry Robbins as establishment
I re-removed the category 1969 establishments, as it is not appropriate for a human, and this is not the article about SDS. The category would be fine for SDS' article, but not Terry Robbins, as he is not SDS. Murderbike (talk) 04:49, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
