A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on September 4, 2004, September 4, 2007, September 4, 2008, September 4, 2009, September 4, 2010, and September 4, 2021.

Clarification on section "The Lost Year"

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The sentence "Even though Faubus's idea of private schools never played out" should be changed to: "Even though the school board's plan to open private schools was blocked by a court injunction...

(source: https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/1998/sep/27/little-rocks-lost-class-1959-recalls-turbulent-yea/ "the school board tried to lease its buildings to a corporation that would run them as private, segregated schools. Within hours of the plan's formation, a panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued an injunction blocking it.")

The same article also states that teachers were bound to be at school during closure by virtue of their contracts. This is more precise than stating that "The teachers were completely under Faubus's control" (Little Rock Nine Wikipedia article). Or, if the Faubus's control extends further, it would be interesting to hear more about that.

WHERE'S THE ARTICLE???

A copyright issue should not shut down the entire article. Just remove the disputed portions. There is no way the entire article was lifted from another work. Obviously this constitutes vandalism with the intent of making the entire article inaccessible to anyone researching the topic and I'm guessing this was done by someone motivated by racism. I THEREFORE DEMAND THAT WIKIPEDIA IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATE THIS OBVIOUS VANDALISM AND RESTORE THIS ARTICLE!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:9000:ff00:8e:c181:172e:81c9:6b5d (talk) 23:40, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Current copyright concerns

The identified source, archived here, from which this article is suspected of being copied, is dated November 14, 2012. This source is structured much like a Wikipedia article itself, with a lead section, subheadings, an image/caption, and a referral to a "Main article". The past version of this article as of that November 14, 2012, date yields the same content as this 'source', though it is the result of thousands of Wikipedia edits up to that date.

It thus seems clear that the "Ro Ho" editor at the originalpeople.org site copied this Wikipedia article at that date rather than someone having copied its content the other direction. It is unfortunate that a Wikipedia editor later used the old copy of this article as a source (for one sentence), but I am confident that is what happened, and that this copyright violation concern may be resolved accordingly. The source should be removed from the article and its sentence marked with a 'citation needed' template or removed entirely.

I write this with the hope that "an administrator, copyright clerk or OTRS agent" will read my findings and take them into account upon resolving the issue. —ADavidB 02:51, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 10 July 2022

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Little Rock Nine. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
