Talk:Wiggins, Stone County, Mississippi

Notable Residents

August 21, 2010 I would like to enter Bishop James H. Baker of the COGIC/Gul minister of Cathedral of Divine Love Church in Chicago, Illinois. His Mother was Nettie Baker who lived on Hwy 49 next to the cemetary and across the street from the highway gas station and the laundry on top of the hill. He did a lot for Wiggins anonymously ovewr the years as his mother lived there only she moved to Red quarters and moved off the highway.Tuffenuff54 (talk) 22:23, 21 August 2010 (UTC)AintieGee

WAAAHHHH!!! Still no one knows who this is. Sorry but Wikipedia is not meant to be an online version of "Who's Who" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.61.204.43 (talk) 14:42, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

"No one knows who he is" is a very focused statement that I can assume is untrue unless you have asked "everyone" yourself. If you do not agree with the existence of an article, that is fine, but you should nominate it for AfD (although you need to be a registered member and the AfD is the last of a number of steps that should be taken), not remove links to the article just because you believe that the article should not exist. It does exist, so actions should currently move from that direction, not the reverse. — CobraWiki ^{( jabber | stuff )} 17:41, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm still wondering why that attorney guy is on the list of notable residents.

Dizzy Dean lived in Bond, MS not Wiggins, MS. Why do you keep reverting my edits???

Wikipedia's own article on Dizzy Dean indicates that he lived in Bond, not Wiggins. Bond is not part of Wiggins in any way, shape or form.

Lynching

The article states that the lynching in 1935 was of an (alleged) rapist. I read the NYT article on the subject and it doesn't seem to indicate that, it seems like he whacked her with a shovel and left her unconcious. Rape isn't mentioned, nor any old time euphemisms for rape like "outraged". At one point it does say, somewhat confusingly, that she was not "criminally assaulted". An odd turn of phrase, as being hit with a shovel is literally a criminal assault. Perhaps it was being used as a euphemism to clearly indicate that no rape had actually taken place? Anyway unless something is flying over my head I think someone may be juicing the story to make the lynching seem more justified, or maybe simply assumed the article was being oblique. The only other reference to the story I can find is an article by an old person reflecting on seeing the Lynched man as a child, in this article too though the crime is only described as he "attacked her" and "hit her with a shovel", rape isn't mentioned. Anyway for now I am going to edit it to remove the reference to rape.69.138.196.15 (talk) 16:08, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

That's fine, but in future it would really help vandal-fighters if you would refer back to any talk page discussion in your edit summary, especially if you perceive that a legitimate edit could be misconstrued. Cheers, Nick Moyes (talk) 05:55, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
