[edit] Botched Formatting
Whoever did this revision -- "21:12, 6 February 2007 70.248.28.252 (Talk) (I added more important stuff and erased nonimportant things.)" -- really botched up the article formatting. With it, all headings and the picture are gone. Someone (with more skill than me) should revert to the earlier formatting, but maybe keep the added content if its worth it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.147.120.143 (talk) 13:25, 7 February 2007 (UTC).
Never mind, looks like I was just seeing an old version.

[edit] Date of return to New England
In the section on The Liberator, it says that
"In 1831, Garrison returned to New England and founded a weekly anti-slavery newspaper of his own, The Liberator."
Now, if the paper was first published on January 1, 1831, isn't it likely that Garrison returned before that date, in 1830? --Sturm 16:56, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Birthdate
It's kind of a joke that such a detail is in dispute, but the date given on the page (12 Dec.) was disputed even by Garrison himself. I'm not sure which is more reliable, but the 10th is supported by the family Bible, while the 12th is supported by town records. 64.9.61.65 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 06:50, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Persistent petty vandalism from IPs
Is it possible to lock a page against modification by unregistered users? For some reason this page attracts more than its share of this. I suspect kids learn about him in school and come here to "tag" the page. I'll ask for such a lock if no registered users object here. Jeh (talk) 06:40, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
