killed people for using his nickname?

The current revision contains the claims

He hated it enough that he killed two men just for calling him "Pretty Boy," and his dying words were "I'm Charles Arthur Floyd!"

Does anybody have a source for these? They sound like legends. Uucp 18:04, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is legend, not fact. I'm rewording the passage accordingly. Hiddekel 04:59, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There is a bed and breakfast in East Liverpool, Ohio, housed in the funeral home where Pretty Boy Floyd was embalmed. It's called Sturgis House and is run by town funeral director Frank Dawson. It has Pretty Boy Floyd memoriabilia. http://sturgishouse.com/was

... what?

Could someone please explain to me what

Ludacris ft. Pharrel. -Money maker

means in the context of this article? Cactus Wren 23:22, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Birth

This section starts by referring to Floyd the individual, but then the section uses word "they" (There they lived on the street until Charles was about ten years old. They then moved to the Cookson Hills of Oklahoma). Who's "they"? His family? This wording should be clarified. 0xDEADC0DE

Removal of Citation Notice

I see another editor removed the citation notice - having sourced most of the article, I agree with this, does anyone disagree? Stillstudying 12:49, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Floyd's Arrest record

Floyd's arrest record dated from 1925 to 1930—Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.53.145.203 (talk) 19:52, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The public's account of his death?

While i was reading this article it said that there were three sides of the story concerning his death, the FBI, the local police, and the public that were present at the time of his death. Well after reading the rest of the section i did not see any mention of what the publics account was and how it differed from the rest. The article did a great job of differentiating between the FBI and the local police but why mention the local residents side if it wont be brought up.
