Untitled

Replaced with a more in depth description of days of rage taken from John Jacobs' bio page. Had trouble with aligning the reference numbers Limes (talk) 22:16, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plowed through wiki help. Figured out issue with references/citations. Expanded section using info from Weathermen main page and various member bios. I still think the article needs expanding Limes (talk) 18:13, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Days of Rage

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Days of Rage's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Sale":

From Weatherman (organization): Sale, SDS, 1973.
From John Jacobs (student leader): Sale, SDS, 1973.

Reference named "Berger":

From Weatherman (organization): Berger, Dan (2006). Outlaws of America: The Weather Underground and the Politics of Solidarity. AK Press. p. 95.
From John Jacobs (student leader): Berger, Outlaws of America: The Weather Underground And the Politics of Solidarity, 2006.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:09, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The edits I have made to this article are primarily to help with the grammar, tone and cohesion of the article. By removing and adding some material the article is more reader friendly and offers more cohesion to the topic. --2010outdoorgal (talk) 19:55, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Chicago 8

Did your source give any specific information on why Hoffman and Froines decided to distance themselves from the event? If only a short reference, it would be interesting to know why the impending actions caused them to not want to be involved.--Cykesummers (talk) 17:16, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with what Cykesummers said about specific info behind Hoffman and Froines' reasons. Could you perhaps provide a sentence of who the Chicago 8 or originally 7 was and who else was in that group. That way, a reader would know what that group was. Huskygal12 (talk) 17:56, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A sentence in the first paragraph describes briefly John Jacob's advocacy for direct action. And in the first paragraph of the Events leading to Days of Rage' the SDS's bottom line is the National Action. Do they mean the same thing,and what significance is this political thinking to lead Weather to the Days of Rage?Elizabethgaye22 (talk) 04:28, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

--2010outdoorgal (talk) 18:03, 27 May 2010 (UTC) There is a link provided for the Chicago 8, I believe that if there was information provided it would detract from the Days of Rage information. The link provided can take a person to the information if there is interest.[reply]

This article is very vague.

What is all this stuff that it is referencing and what is "direct action". I don't even know what this article is actually discussing because of how vague this article is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.81.152.179 (talk) 05:00, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weatherman vs. Weather Underground

Why is the organization/faction called "Weatherman" in the first sentence and "Weather Underground" a few sentences later? Is there a reason not to standardize on one or the other, and if so, which should it be? The Weather Underground article doesn't shed a lot of light on this point, although the following sentence might imply that the group didn't start using the name Weather Underground until after the Days of Rage:
In 1970, the group issued a "Declaration of a State of War" against the United States government, under the name "Weather Underground Organization".
