"Including the crisis caused by President Woodrow Wilson's having been incapacitated by a stroke. (Requests by the governor for National Guard assistance had to go to the President's office.)" Doesn't make sense - I read it first that Wilson had been drunk? A stroke? Including what crisis? This is in the section of newspapers, which also doesn't make sense. I am wary of cleaning it up because I am unsure of what it is supposed to be saying. Can someone else who has knowledge of the event? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.54.214.193 ( talk) 17:23, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
This article does not seem to be very neutral. Most of it is seems to have been copied from somewhere which tried to make the event sound as dramatic as possible. For NPOV look at :"Witnesses say the boy was the most intrepid of the mob's leaders." The lack of sources is somewhat worrying as well. -- Hydraton31 21:11, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Much of it was borrowed from a (public domain) pamphlet published in 1919. [1] Durova Charge! 11:52, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
It is completely unacceptable that the unsourced, PoV content in this article can have existed for 15 years, despite many calls for it to be wikified. I'm posting notice that as of one month from today (25 Feb. 2019), if the content from "Beginning" through the penultimate sentence of "Lynching" -- none of which contains a single citation -- has not been wikified, I will remove it in its entirety. It does more harm to present unsourced PoV claims on WP than to present no information at all. Bricology ( talk) 23:47, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
It's not clear what the objection was to the way the play was performed - whether it was about using characters in "blackface", with those associations (which should be clarified); creating fictional characters instead of having actors appear to play historical characters; using white actors to play certain parts in which the historical people were African American. After noting both objections and then later widespread performances of the play, the editor doesn't tell how the play was received when performed in Long Branch, NJ.-- Parkwells 20:36, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
This article has several times been flagged as a copyright violation, presumably due to its duplication of [2]. Please note that the source itself notes that the material was from a pamphlet published in 1919. This material is no longer copyrighted, but public domain in the United States. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:28, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

(Without further comment, I have moved this comment from the "NPOV" section created in 2007 into its own section. Fabrickator ( talk) 06:35, 4 March 2023 (UTC))
As a reader, I found the POV on this appalling. And it's been a problem for over 15 years? Four years after the last time it was mentioned? I don't know how to edit Wikipedia, but putting the contemporary source into quotation marks and citing seems to be better than leaving it like this. But also, this is an important article. The history of mass actions against outsiders, unfairly accused of being sexual predators, as a means for corrupt power brokers and disenfranchised young white men to exercise community and political control--it seems really relevant to 2023 America. So maybe we can stop making the lynch mob sound like the protagonist? 2601:2C2:4300:3750:5007:5C5A:B7EA:8F63 ( talk) 06:04, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
Whole sections of this - for example, ‘The First Hanging’ - seem excessively narrative rather than encyclopaedic in style, and do not have citations, which renders them overall suspect. Could these be supported? 2603:7000:2BF0:9740:8CA5:11E7:8FE3:C314 ( talk) 23:22, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
I suggest that we incorporate the following "digitized version" of Omaha's riot in story and picture (in place of or in addition to) the existing link. Thoughts? Fabrickator ( talk) 20:39, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
