Lenin Peace Prize

She was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize. Roughly equivalent to the Nobel Peace Prize, and yet that's not mentioned anywhere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenin_Peace_Prize http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenin_Peace_Prize —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.104.226.23 (talk) 06:58, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, just put it in, with a source. Sincerely, your friend, GeorgeLouis (talk) 21:39, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong reference

In 1997, she declared herself to be a lesbian in Out magazine.[15]

This reference doesnt link to the fact - does anyone have it?

Google gave me this article which puts the year as 1999, and this myspace blog which puts the year at about 2006. I don't know that either is a reliable source, though. -- Irn (talk) 20:23, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For future reference

Not currently mentioned in the article, marriage to Hilton Braithwaite: [1][2][3]. Location (talk) 00:43, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Terrorist and murderer

Angela Davis is a domestic terrorist who participated and assisted in the perpetration of multiple murders. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.190.232.92 (talk) 09:54, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are entitled to your opinion, however, Davis was found "not guilty" on all charges stemming from the Marin County shootout and general consensus is that she is not a domestic terrorist or murderer. If you wish to expand the article to mention that there are people who have viewed her as a terrorist or murderer (i.e. Richard Nixon), then the information will need to be cited with reliable sources. Location (talk) 12:51, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

General consensus? Who did you poll for that one?
