Sorry? I haven't deleted or "vandalized" any articles. What article is this in regards to?
Are you talking about the Brixton riot of 1981 page? That wasn't me screwing around. I am in the midst of writing a fairly in depth thesis paper on the topic and everything I have read says that she died suddenly, having nothing to do with the police. I am in no way defending the police or saying the rioters were wrong; police activity at the time was deplorable, and the rioters had every right in the world to riot, but that does not change the fact that she was not shot.
- No, I was talking about your changes to Brixton riot (1985). Wikipedia has a policy of no original research. Please don't change the established facts, if you do I will revert your changes. Edward 08:09, 2005 May 9 (UTC)
It's not "original research". It's research from established racial sociologists. Here are a few of the sources:
Hiro, Dilip. Black British, White British. London: Grafton, 1991.
Jacobs, Brian D. Racism in Britain. London: Christopher Helm, 1988.
Solomos, John. Race and Racism in Contemporary Britain. London: MacMillan, 1989.
etc.
- Nevermind, I guess I'll trust several BBC articles over the books I mentioned. Why didn't you just point me to those?
