There is some confusion over Ware's name. Libby identifies him a "I. W. [?] Ulare" (176), which Geffert follows in her 2006 essay (345, fn80); in the 2005 essay, however, she identifies him as "J. W. Ware" (45, fn45). I have fo lowed Link's identification of "S. W. Ware."

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of John Brown's raiders's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Villard":

• From John Brown (abolitionist): Villard, Oswald Garrison (1910). John Brown 1800–1859: A Biography Fifty Years After. Houghton Mifflin.
• From Virginia v. John Brown: Villard, Oswald Garrison (1910). John Brown, 1800-1859, a biography fifty years after. London: Constable.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:39, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article until some six months ago had all the pictures of individuals together in a gallery section. See it here:https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Brown%27s_raiders&oldid=1148510492

Now the pictures have gotten moved around and don't fit well. Does anyone object to me putting it back to the way it was? deisenbe (talk) 20:33, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
