Re: Use of the phrase 'flaming homosexuals' in the first part - isn't this a derogatory term? 137.205.8.2 12:49, 26 May 2007 (UTC) Tospasto, 26 May 2007[reply]

Possibly but not always, flamboyant is coded for LGBT so it really depends on context. Benjiboi 23:32, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So..."Milk lived for a time in Dallas, Texas but as a Jew had difficulty in finding and keeping a job" - citation? Compare with:

"Anti-Semitism has not been as pronounced in Texas as in other places." [1]

Could there be other reasons for the employment difficulties? Other than the good ole boys, that is. 194.46.234.202 22:43, 27 December 2006 (UTC) 194.46.234.202 22:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here in Western Australia, we have Harvey Fresh Milk. - Mark Ryan 03:37, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)

In Dan White's wikipedia entry, Don Horanzy is named as Dan White's replacement on the SF Board of Supervisors, but in Harvey Milk's entry Harry Britt is named as White's replacement. I assume one of these are incorrect. Which one is correct? --Tjdigit 16:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Harry Britt is the correct answer. This is true according to the documentary, "The Times of Harvey Milk". There have also been some edits to this article, removing information that was in the documentary, and "dumbing down" the article. I don't know why that was done but I'll restore the factual information at some point. Jtpaladin 17:08, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some of it it is homophobia, some juvenile vandalism and some just misunderstandings. Benjiboi 00:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article reports that Dan White committed suicide while on parole. This is inaccurate. He committed suicide while living in San Francisco. The terms of his parole prevented him from entering San Francisco, let alone living there. His parole had ended, and he had to seek special permission to move back to San Francisco. He lived there for not quite a year, and then committed suicide.

You're totally welcome to make edits to the article. -Seth Mahoney 17:45, May 21, 2005 (UTC)

I removed the following:

"There are reports that his old colleagues cheered and applauded him when he arrived to surrender." because there was no citation and it is not mentioned in the documentary, "The Times of Harvey Milk". I watched the documentary on the Logo Channel and I did not hear that being reported about Dan White's surrender. If I'm mistaken, please re-post and give citation. Also, the riots are not well covered in this article so from the notes I took from the documentary, I have to come back and fill in that info. --Jtpaladin 23:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Which is great, by the way, thank you -- it's a *little* overpowering at its current size -- is there a way to reduce to thumbnail or thereabouts? Zero sharp 21:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

After the riots, the humiliated police showed up in force on Castro Street without authorization, and soon proceeded to enter the Elephant Walk Bar at the corner of 18th and Castro, smashing the place up and bashing heads of stunned patrons and employees. Several people required hospitalization, and the resulting lawsuits cost the City a fortune.

This is a serious allegation but at the moment it reads like a rumour. Apart from the non-encyclopaedic tone ("showed up", "smashing the place up and bashing heads" etc), this feels very anecdotal and could do with some sources. What sort of "authorisation" would the police need simply to go to a certain street — or was it entering the bar that was unauthorised, or were they acting on their own initiative without orders from superiors?

Not sure if this has been addressed but see White Night Riots. Benjiboi 23:33, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Harvey milk.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
