Days of Rage[edit]

I want to inquire as to the importance of the chronological events of the Days of Rage demonstrations to the John Jacobs entry. It seems that the information is similar between the two pages and was wondering where it would be more useful to readers. --2010outdoorgal (talk) 21:24, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the history tabs of both articles, you'll discover that the John Jacobs article came first. The Days of Rage article was a stub, and we were fast-approaching the anniversary of the events. To beef up the Days of Rage article, I added a bunch of information from John Jacobs to Days of Rage. Frankly, the Days of Rage article is still in very poor shape. It needs to be greatly expanded, with many more citations and much work done to it. I believe it should be much longer than it is. My suggestion would be to keep the information in both articles, and to expand the Days of Rage article until it reaches Good Article status. - Tim1965 (talk) 23:09, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
