[edit] NOT AN EDIIT WAR?

I removed this because you state this is an "edit war" when its not lol. -24.60.161.63

More than once, an anonymous user at 24.60.161.63 has removed certain claims about Walker's filibustering (specifically, his desire to see white, english speakers running central america, and claims about beliefs held by both Walker and John Berrien Lindsley). I have no idea if these claims are correct or not, and would appreciate somebody who has access to proper source material citing it here so that we know whether or not to leave this claims in place.

In the meantime, I am going to reinstate them, both because they sound consistent with what I have read of Walker, and because the restoration will allow me to draw attention to this request. Uucp 12:08, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

24.60.161.63 tried to remove the discussion above from the talk page, and made his arbitrary edits again. Uucp 00:00, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Support for the passages questioned by 24.60.161.63 can be found, for instance, in this review of one of the books mentioned by this article as a reference: [1]. -- Eb.hoop 04:11, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

agreed. the general incoherence, poor grammar and punctuation by 24.60.161.63, all argue against him. I will continue to revert his changes unless he can provide evidence that he is correct. If needed, I will identify him as a recidivist vandal. Uucp 12:01, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

You know you dont need to make fun of my english! i could easily report you for what you just said that is not the wikipedia way state your facts and dont make fun of other people. Thank you.-- 24.60.161.63

[edit] Photo of Walker's tombstone

Apart from the fact that a tombstone doesn't really tell much about the person that is buried unter it - what's that young grinning guy doing there behind the fence? This is an encyclopedia, not a personal photo album. If Mr. Scott Raine has achieved enough to receive his own article here, he'll be pictured (preferably without a tombstone), until then, I say: out with him. --Bernardoni (talk) 12:46, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
