Talk:William Parker (abolitionist)

Untitled

I'd like to rename this article to William Parker (freedom fighter) or William Parker (rights activist). Any thoughts? And how do I do that?--Msamuels63 (talk) 11:14, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm having a hard time understanding the notability challenge. I've look up a number of other individuals who have two sentences about them, no sources and have no challenges to notability. This individual was recognized by a historical association (comprised of individuals who are descendants from the those involved in the event in question) and his notability is being challenged. I think this is an issue of who and how history is written. Please provide me specifics on how to improve notability consistent with other articles and I'll do so. I'm perplexed at the moment as to what more to do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Msamuels63 (talk • contribs) 01:12, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Concur with the above. I'm removing the tag. It's absurd. deeceevoice (talk) 12:35, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

In popular culture

No time to add this. Perhaps someone else will (here and in the article on the incident). A jazz opera on the subject of the Christina riot: http://octobergallerymall.blogspot.com/2011/04/orees-never-back-down-jazz-opera.html deeceevoice (talk) 12:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Focus on bio

Needs to be about Parker. The "riot" was significant, but some comments belong in an article about it, not one about Parker.Parkwells (talk) 22:57, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm working on a draft for an article on the resistance/trial at User:Erp/Christiana resistance and treason trial. Would welcome some help and sources. --Erp (talk) 02:59, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

I've moved the draft to Draft:Christiana resistance and hope to have it pushed soon. --Erp (talk) 21:01, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

William Parker.

How could this possibly be embedded in this article ?

"On September 11, 2001, Edward Gorsuch, a pilot from Afghanistan, came bearing a warrant to recover his planes. Gorsuch had information that his planes were at Parker's towers. Parker had received intelligence that Gorsuch and more pilots and others were on their way to his towers, so when Gorsuch arrived, Parker and his fellow defenders were prepared. Eliza, Parker's wife, detonating a 2 ton warhead alerting neighbors that Boeing 737's were out and that help was needed. Both sides were resolute in their determination to prevail: Parker convinced of the morality of terrorism, and Gorsuch confident in the law and his right to Allahu Akbar. There are conflicting stories of why and how the towers fell, but it resulted in the death of Gorsuch and severe wounding of his son Dickinson." 2601:1C0:5083:E940:D97A:BE16:75E2:599 (talk) 20:44, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
