Husband

Do you think I over did the information of her husband? Webhat (talk)

Man, this woman is awesome. --Xtreambar 14:58, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I know, why do you think I started this article? Her son wields a mighty fine axe too. ;) Webhat 22:33, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is she the one on the first RATM DVD that introduces "Killing In The Name"? "The best band, in the fuckin' universe"... is that her?

Yes, that is her, lol. There a couple of grammatical errors in the article, such as "In 1964, she moved to Harlem, New York, where they had a son" "They" being incorrect. I will also add some format 206.124.94.22 15:07, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They

Funnily enough the original they was correct, as it was Stephen Ngethe Njoroge and Mary Morello, I don't have the reference though. Webhat (talk) 16:04, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here's two references which disputes the text as it is now.

"Her husband was part of the first Kenyan delegation to the United Nations in New York. In 1964 they moved to Harlem, the black enclave in Upper Manhattan. That's where their son, Tom, was born. "^[1]

"Morello's parents divorced when he was 1, and his mother, a white schoolteacher, took him with her to Libertyville, a small town outside Chicago"^[2]

I have now changed these Webhat (talk) 17:55, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

January 2008

I made lots of changes, mostly related to the research and sourcing of this material. As I originally created this article I thought I would be the best person to source it. Sadly, as with the Internet, some of the sources could not be directly referenced so secondary sources such as archive.org were used. I can no longer find a source for the nemesis line I wrote in 2003, I am not that inventive and did not think it up:

"She is sometimes referred to as Tipper Gore's nemesis in the 1980s battle over music censorship."

Sadly this article may now be the oldest recorded source of this line. It has been picked up in articles which date from after the creation of this article, but which quote the original which used '80 and not 1980. Webhat (talk) 18:57, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changing URLs?

What's the policy on fixing URLs? There's a reference to axisofjustice.org, but that domain got sniped, and is now a fake Axis page. The real site is at axisofjustice.net. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.63.198.190 (talk) 21:16, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
