Secret society?

Really? Is that in reference to the klan? They were the most audacious society in America since the pre-conspiracy-theoristic Freemasons!--207.177.213.62 (talk) 15:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In their early years, their membership was secret; they were considered vigilantes, and they generally hid behind masks and hoods. Historians contrast them with the more open paramilitary organizations of the 1870s in MS and LA, such as the Red Shirts and White League, who curried attention and press coverage.Parkwells (talk) 21:07, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete references

The list of news references for the "battle" is very long, but few are used as citation sources. It's unnecessary to have so many news articles about the same incident.Parkwells (talk) 21:08, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinate error

{{geodata-check}}

The following coordinate fixes are needed for

Location of battle. Given coordinates are in Myanmar.

—80.1.216.252 (talk) 23:31, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've just removed the recently added (and clearly incorrect) coordinates from the article. "Hayes Pond" seems to be a former or alternative name of Maxon Pond at 34°43′16″N 79°22′01″W / 34.721°N 79.367°W; but the sources are unclear about the exact location of the conflict, and I don't feel comfortable enough to add any precise coordinates to the article.

No news footage of this? Why?

I've never been able to find any authentic old newsreels of this incident. Is there any available? All I've ever seen are YouTube videos of contemporary interviews with the Lumbee who retaliated against the Klan. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 02:03, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"(including Lumbees and Tuscororas)" - Is this spelling of Tuscororas intentional? I think Tuscaroras is more common
- Fixed.
"With Cole leading them as their "Grand Wizard"," - Go ahead and link Grand Wizard
- Done.
Are the sources more specific as to what kind of place Hayes Pond was? Was it a settlement, an actual pond, or something else?
- Some sources call it a "swamp", and it is indeed swampy (I went once). Found a DOT document that describes it as a former mill pond and added. There was once a dam that retained the water there but it washed out a few years ago.
"He also found klansmen hiding in the brush" - you capitalize klansmen in most of the other instances; maybe capitalize here?
- Done.
"and no known Klan rallies have taken place there since." - unfortunately, this statement may require an "as of" date
- Qualified.
Sources and images look fine

@Hog Farm: I have responded to your comments. -Indy beetle (talk) 04:34, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Some Lumbees

In the Robeson County and the Lumbee tribe section, it says, Some Lumbees, especially the war veterans, disliked Robeson County's segregation. Other leaders lobbied for the adoption of a unique name to identify their group. It's not logical to refer to "Lumbees" in one sentence when in the following sentence it says they didn't yet have a name. I changed that to "some of them, especially the war veterans", i.e. some of the Native Americans from Robeson County just referred to, but my edit was reverted, and then the page was protected. I'm changing it back now. I hope people will see the logic of it. 2001:BB6:4713:4858:F1E3:144F:E4B8:9AA (talk) 12:34, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
