The following paragraph was recently on the page, but has since been removed. But there's nothing in the paragraph that cites anything proving the article is false. What's the story here guys? -- GIR 20:50, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
The statement above was vandalism to the page. The information is verifiable from a number of reliable sources. See the References section of the article. — ERcheck ( talk) 23:49, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Barkely was laid to rest in 1918. In 1917,
Frederick Funston day in state at the Alamo. Since Barkley was the second, it is logical to conclude that Funston must have been first.

This article is not neutral because it mentions one part of his ancestry, but ignores the rest. His name is mostly non-Hispanic, so the inference is that his other ancestry is of less value. Honbicot 16:56, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Is that picture really accurate? It looks like a joke to me. Rossheth 18:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
It looks like a homely fellow with a slightly crooked hat. But I agree, he would probably have looked a little sharper if he'd known he was going to be in Wikipedia 90 years later . . . Cranston Lamont 18:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Ah, ok. It was the crooked hat that had me going. Rossheth 19:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
It has a certain hint of Prince Harry in it to me... -- John24601 21:35, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
I thought so, too. One of the reasons I asked if it was real. Rossheth
People looked weird back then. -- 201.22.55.156 21:43, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
The picture looks completely fake. AscendedAnathema 22:32, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
I think it should be grayscaled; the colorization obviously wasn't part of the original photo and adds nothing to its accuracy or information content. Postdlf 00:33, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Was he really born in England? I don't see this in any of the biographical sources below and suspect somebody vandalised. Please clarify. Murcielago 00:08, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
