Page Moved from United Slaves

[edit]

I moved this page away from United Slaves to US Organization. The latter was the term used by members of the organization, while the former was a derogatory term employed by their rivals the Black Panthers which for some reason has caught on even among many scholars of African American history (see my footnote for a reference to a chapter in an edited book by an academic press which explains the confusion). I also obviously changed references to the United Slaves in the body of the article.

This article does need to be sourced, although the points about the FBI playing US and the Panthers off against each other are well established and widely known (I believe some of the FBI files have been released because of FOIA requests). But more needs to be said about this organization beyond the rivalry with the Panthers and the trial of Karenga and the others (that section is where some real sourcing is needed because whoever put it there is clearly drawing very specific information from somewhere). US represented the "cultural nationalist" strain of the Black Power movement and attention should be drawn to this. I plan to work on this article in a couple of months when I have some time, but if anyone wants to do anything in the meantime the book chapter I mentioned in my recent edit and the book Fighting for US by Scot Brown are useful sources to start giving this article some more depth and some proper citations.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 19:27, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

There was an error in the reference to a [citation needed] link in the article. Cleaned that up and added a few more requests for citation. Although the article appears to be relatively NPOV, the citations are needed, as this subject could draw the ire of both supporters and detractors of the organization.

Plaigarism

[edit]

A lot of this is directly lifted from another article without proper citation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.10.7.13 (talk) 18:41, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possible TYPO (or other mistake) in a section name

[edit]

The name of the section "Gun battle at UCLA (1968)" contains the year number "1968".

However, the body of (the text of) that section, does not contain any year number except for "1969".

Is that a mistake? Should the section name be [changed to] "Gun battle at UCLA (1969)" -- ? --

Any comments? --Mike Schwartz (talk) 23:07, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are correct... and fixed by simply removing the year. Blueboar (talk) 23:37, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
