Dangerous Hours

Nice work on expanding this article! Lugnuts (talk) 07:53, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I was working on that and Bolshevism on Trial to serve as the basis for a section on Film in the First Red Scare entry. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 22:12, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey — I left a comment on Overman Committee's talk page because I didn't want to revert you again without discussion. Bsimmons666 (talk) 22:23, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Secret Court of 1920

I thought you might like to know that I reassessed the article, Secret Court of 1920, that you contributed so much to. It's now a Class B article, assessed as you requested at WP:WikiProject LGBT studies/Assessment. Very good job expanding the article, especially with relatively little source material. If I get some time, I'll contribute at it's peer review as well: WP:WikiProject LGBT studies/Peer review/Secret Court of 1920 — Becksguy (talk) 10:04, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

No apologies needed, I've done the same thing myself by accident a time or two. Being this is a new editor, I figured he needed a gentle hand since he was editing in good faith. --Hourick (talk) 01:42, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Who recruited whom?

Hello, can you rephrase a recent edit you made on Upton Sinclair. In the same sentence you say that Chaplin recruited someone (Sinclair?), and also Sinclair's wife recruited some more. A comma seems to be missing. The citation is wrong, the link points to Sinclair's page on IMDB, not the film's link. If we go to the film link, there is no mention of Chaplin or Sinclair's wife either. Jay (talk) 13:02, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Per your request you are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. �7� 11:04, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Just a thanks...

I have been watching how much time and energy you've been putting into our friends S&V. Just wanted you to know how much it's appreciated. Keep up the good work! --GeePawHill (talk) 05:19, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Slacker Raids

Seems to be fertile ground for a new article on the Slacker Raids as a forerunner and blueprint for the Palmer Raids. As you've already written in the APL article:

"In the most extraordinary cooperative action, thousands of APL members joined authorities in New York City for three days of checking registration cards, resulting in more than 75,000 arrests though fewer than 400 proved to be guilty of anything more than failing to carry their cards.[13]"

hey, thanks

...for catching my unconsit... unconstitutional typos.  ;)

I also wanted to drop you a note that I adjusted the language to your lede edit in the Gill and Commonwealth articles, DOMA 3 defines both "marriage" and "spouse", let me know if I stepped on your toes. Thanks for all your great work on these articles! --j⚛e decker^talk 15:51, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Leonard Link question

Yeah, it's a blog, well-done, but weak as a single source. I don't have a better secondary source for the statement, but there is a primary source for it, it's not hard to read it at the end of this doc: [1]. Barring a better secondary source, it might be better to include both the primary source and the Leonard Link blog--the primary source demonstrates it but leaves open the question of whether the legal terms there are being subtley misued, the secondary source helps us at least partially address the question of whether a simple reading of the document is appropriate. Cheers! --j⚛e decker^talk 16:33, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Christian Legal Society v. Martinez

Hi. I got your message. I thought it was interesting, the amici curiae on the Christian Legal Society v. Martinez decision. But there is a plethora of them, pro and con, as you point out. So I take your point and will remove them. Thanks and Best wishes. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc (talk) 00:23, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Opposition to Prohibition

Good idea. I've been bold and merged this article into Repeal of Prohibition, leaving the title as a redirect. (This is something you could have done yourself, but there's nothing wrong with asking someone about it first.) If you think the redirect isn't needed, you can take it to redirects for discussion. Robofish (talk) 19:21, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Espionage Act of 1917

Thanks for fleshing out the article on Alfred Zehe. The relationship of Zehe to the Espionage Act of 1917, stems from United States v. Zehe, 601 F.Supp. 196 (D. Mass 1985), in which Judge David S. Nelson held:

Espionage Act could be applied extraterritorially to both citizens and noncitizens because of threat to national security that espionage poses; thus, district court had jurisdiction over a criminal prosecution under Act against an East German citizen for alleged act of espionage against the United States committed in Mexico and the German Democratic Republic.

If you'd prefer to augment the Zehe article you wrote with this material yourself, then by all means have at it! Once that's done though, please restore the link to Zehe from the Espionage Act of 1917. Again, thanks for all your great work. JonDePlume (talk) 03:12, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Spencer Day

Wow, your recent edits are infinitely better than the one line and two references I had added (and which I didn't consider all that controversial, much less defamatory!). Thanks so much for helping to improve this article, especially with the additional info on his activism. 160.111.254.17 (talk) 21:11, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

J Edgar Hoover

Hello, I was checking the J. Edgar Hoover page and it looks like you deleted a fact I added regarding his true heritage, being that he is half black but kept it a secret according to documentaries and other sources. I just want to know why this was done? As I wrote it objectivelly. Look forward to hearing from you. Thankyou. Klutzulmaniack 07:22, 27 January 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Klutzulmaniack (talk • contribs) 07:17, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

You are incorrect. I made no change to the "Early life and education" section of that entry. I see that someone has removed your recent edit, and I fully agree with that move, but discussion belongs on the J. Edgar Hoover discussion page. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 13:47, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Crucial additions to the Creel Commission article

Great job. I was wondering, though, why you removed this passage from it. The one that lists Bernays and Lippman as participants. Just curious; it seemed perfectly good to me. What makes a man turn neutral? (talk) 00:48, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

I didn't really remove it -- I relocated it. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 01:34, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Same-sex marriage law in the United States by state

Hi Bmclaughlin9, I just wanted to get your help on the Same-sex marriage law in the United States by state article. I'm working on a replacement article in my sandbox here - User:NYyankees51/marriage/new. The current article is not very helpful and I'm trying to make a comprehensive state-by-state list. I made a table listing all the states prohibiting gay marriage by voter referendum. I'm not very good at tables so if you know how to work with them to make it look better, that would be great, and any help you can provide to the sandbox article would be great as well. Thanks! NYyankees51 (talk) 17:32, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Vaughn R. Walker

If you haven't already, can you bring your comments re: why you're for keeping that first part of the sexual orientation paragraph to the article's discussion page? (I do realize I should have put a reasoning with the edit when I did it, rather than just reporting it on the Discussion page, so the reasoning didn't look random.) Thanks Codenamemary (talk) 20:48, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Change of date for May Boston meetup

Hi there. I noticed you were on the list of attendees for the May meetup.

Hi, friend

"Americanism."

Noting that you are an "early 20th Century history" person, I just wanted to tip you to an important and fairly difficult piece that I want to get up later this week: Americanism (ideology). This is an archaic term in today's language, but was one of the primary American political concepts from c. 1900 to c. 1960. Anyway, put on your thinking cap for sourcing since this is one that could easily have people wailing about "Original Research," even if it really isn't. My very temporary boilerplate for the dab page reads "an early 20th Century political ideology frequently posited in opposition to Communism or Fascism." That's what I'm on about.

Hope you have an interest in helping on this one, it's gonna be a pretty hard page with sources all over the map recreating a fundamental concept of yesteryear. Done right and it will be a very important contribution to the encyclopedia, done wrong and it will be an Original Research train wreck...

Thanks for the interest and work on the Stevenson, by the way.

best regards, —Tim Carrite (talk) 04:34, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Fannie Mae Clackum

Hey, thanks for your excellent and thoughtful additions to this article. I hadn't heard of Canaday, but will read soonest. One thing, though. I was cleaning up some quotation marks and so forth, and couldn't figure out exactly what to do with this sentence (paste):

The court found it "unthinkable" that the Air Force would exercise such "raw power burden them with undesirable discharges "without respect for even the most elementary notions of due process of law"

Perhaps it's something like '...that the Air Force would exercise such "raw power [as to] burden them with undesirable discharges without respect ..." '?

	Hey Bmclaughlin9, just wanted to commend you on your work to the Raymond Burr article, and to Rock Hudson.

Autopatrolled

Hello Bmclaughlin9. I have reviewed your contributions, and as you have created over 50 excellent, well referenced articles, I have accorded autopatrolled rights to your account. This means that your creations will no longer need to be reviewed by New Page Patrol. Keep up the good work, and happy editing! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:58, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Congrats!

Congratulations on the Autopatrolled status, which for my money should have the same cache for content creators like yourself that gaining the rank of "Administrator" does for the quality control inspectors. I spotted your stuff this morning and couldn't believe you were still coming through the New Pages queue with a yellow flag. Keep up the great work! Carrite (talk) 08:08, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the help with expanding Equality Alabama, its one that I've been meaning to start for some time. Non-primary sources are so hard to come by though, the lack of local media coverage on LGBT issues almost verges on conspiracy here. Altairisfar (talk) 23:48, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Well done at the Hurst Street article - I knew there'd be more to say about it. Nice work. Bretonbanquet (talk) 16:00, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. I suspect that most major streets of that age carry some considerable notability - it's just a matter of reasearching it, as you've done. Bretonbanquet (talk) 16:26, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
