This article needs serious help. The first two references, for instance, which should provide basic factual information, well, the first one doesn't look authoritative and is in fact dead, and the other is to a campus newspaper. There is no reference at all to (let alone more information on) this supposed 1997 documentary. Worst of all, these statements about Robb by the London Times and the one by the CDR, the only possible source, as far as I can tell, is Robb's own resume. We are taking his word for what is said about him? I've done as much as I could with limited knowledge and resources--if there really is an investigative journalist working on this page, they should do some work, some better work, to make this article up to snuff.

I understand that not many people like the KKK, but putting 'all KKK members suck cock' at the bottom of the page is just plain immature. I've removed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.211.36 ( talk) 20:48, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Explain what is "inappropriate" about adding KKK.com this article? It was added because it has a quote giving his line of thinking and identified Robb as KKK national director. He is the national director of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and KKK.com is their website. Agg56tt ( talk) 23:11, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
They are a terrorist group- what do you people expect? That "organization" is responsible for the slaughtering of entire families: children, elderly, women and men. Lucky for them, this is America, where inciting violence and hatred towards people because of their skin color is tolerated and is a "God-given right"... yeah God bless America.. woohoo.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.34.155.181 ( talk) 14:10, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Name one crime committed by Thom Robb and his Klan! Just one. You cannot! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.207.184.41 ( talk) 19:29, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
I bet this liberal douche bag does not dare go to an Islamic site and call them terrorists. Lmao He has no idea what he’s talking about. Well I don’t agree with Robb they are far from a terrorist organization. A cult yes terrorists no. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.205.53.82 ( talk) 14:25, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
For everyone asking, there's a handy Wikipedia category named 'Ku Klux Klan crimes' you can consult here: /info/en/?search=Category:Ku_Klux_Klan_crimes There seem to be quite a few, so I'd suggest you get to reading. 2A00:EE2:2607:6500:4D52:2987:B4DA:BC14 ( talk) 15:31, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
It seems this article has been the target of sloppy, biased edits by white supremacists pushing a white power POV. The comments about the ACLU display strong bias. Stating that the ACLU is considered by some to be liberal is one thing, calling it anti-white or Jewish supremacist because it doesn't support Neo-Nazis and the KKK is a bit ridiculous. The comment about his first wife ditching him for a Black Panther seems dubious too. I would like someone to actually cite which source it's from, if it's not really just an outright vandalism to ramble about the Black Panthers. I'm flagging it for an uncited source and point of view issues. This article might require a rewrite to regain any level of encyclopedic value. -- RaptorEmperor ( talk) 07:10, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Agree on the neutrality issues. An article about the head of the KKK that doesn't mention racism, white supremacy, or terrorism is glossing over the entire essence of the organization the guy leads. If someone reading this article didn't know what the KKK is (plausible, considering this is an international website), Robb comes across as a conservative pastor and generally nice guy. Readers don't get the impression that this is the head honcho of a controversial group, let alone a violent fringe one. The article probably needs a substantial rewrite. Dpenn89 ( talk) 09:48, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
What violent fringe group? The Knights Party is a non-violent group! Name one crime these people have committed. THERE ARE NONE! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.205.54.4 ( talk) 20:25, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
I'm not seeing any evidence of violence from the Knights' party, either. Detesting an ideology is one thing, but lying about it is quite another. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quietguy425 ( talk • contribs) 06:28, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

It looks like http://www.christianidentitychurch.net/ website no longer exists/doesn't work on modern browsers. I would update it to the archive link, but I can't find anywhere on that website that has that quote, and it would be better to link to that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakevossen5 ( talk • contribs) 23:28, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

While I have changed living person to 2023 deaths, could we get a source on his death? Because I did a simple google search and it revealed nothing. All I could find on his death was a tweet from an source with questionable reliability in my opinion. Death Editor 2 ( talk) 00:33, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

I want to add his death because he died on April 22 2023 Timmy waters ( talk) 01:34, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
Thomas Robb passed away on April 20, 2023 [1]
The cause of his death has not been officially confirmed, and conflicting reports have emerged about the circumstances surrounding it. While some sources suggest that Robb died of natural causes at his home in Harrison, Arkansas, it is important to wait for official confirmation before drawing any conclusions.
The news of his death was first announced on Twitter by Fetty, who stated that Robb had passed away at the age of 77. Robb's passing has elicited mixed reactions from both the white supremacist movement and the wider community. Some of his supporters have expressed sadness at his death, while others have used the opportunity to reaffirm their commitment to white nationalist ideology 2001:B07:6462:CFD:2D44:AB9F:3917:1B6F ( talk) 08:32, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
In Thomas Robb's Wikepedia, although nothing about his death is sourced, and no death is mentioned, the pronoun "was" is used. Should this be changed, or have we decided he's dead? Tiggy42 ( talk) 23:10, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
