Talk:Wide Awakes

Wide Awakes

Increasingly mentioned in 2020 election cycle in US. Needs additional expansion in my opinion. My link to most pertinent coverage was removed as spam as source if discussion for enhancing article. Wikipietime (talk) 15:59, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

The sunrise movement website; “ Believe it or not, these tactics are over a century old, inspired by the Wide Awakes, a pro-abolition mass youth movement in the 1860s (right before the Civil War) who turned anti-abolition representatives’ lives into waking nightmares by banging pots and pans outside their windows.” This is not spam. It is an active political movement that is entitled to coverage. Wikipietime (talk) 16:03, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

I encourage you to create that article, but it doesn't belong here. These are not the same organization. "Inspired by" is not the same thing. GenQuest ^{"Talk to Me"} 16:42, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

If it is directly influenced by, and draws from the original movement, then I think it warrants a line or two under a section or sub section, called maybe 'Legacy'. Hesperian Nguyen (talk) 20:24, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Camp Jackson Affair

The Wikipedia article about the Camp Jackson Affair should be linked. Also there are some contradictions between this page and the Camp Jackson Affair wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-42334-21 (talk) 04:07, 1 August 2026 (UTC)
