[This] is the current photo in use, but it's low quality, grainy and Newton seems to be pulling a face. However, [this photo] is on the commons and is higher quality, in colour and better shows his face, would anybody object to swapping the photos? Issan Sumisu (talk) 20:53, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The page currently says that the alleged assault on Preston Callins was over the price of a suit, but when Callins' gave his statement to the police a few days after, he said it started when he called Newton "baby" (similarly to the alleged events between Newton and Smith). I've read a lot of the past discussions over the use of Coleman's writings, but as far as I can tell, those discussions were largely focused on her more recent work, with "The Party's Over" being less disputed as a RS. Moreover, I'm only really interested in citing it as it contains a partial transcript of Callins' interview with the cops. Before I went ahead though I thought I'd check in and see what other folks who are more well read on Newton and the BPP think. Thanks! Librarian of Sand (talk) 22:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
