[edit] Spelling of name

This site indicates the proper spelling is Hennessy, two e's not three. grimbleGrumble 18:38, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, most sources I've seen spell the name as Hennessey, however. I don't know that we should necessarily take that one link over the majority of sources. What we really need is some sort of original source document. Perhaps a comment in the article that there is some dispute over the correct spelling? —Lowellian (reply) 07:52, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

"HENNESSY" is how it is spelled on his tomb, as can be seen here: Image:MetCemHennessy3.jpg. -- Infrogmation 14:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Religion

What religion was Hennesy?

For all I know, this entry may be written correctly. Indeed, I knew nothing about this event until I read the Wikipedia entry for Mafia; however, I do know about lack of balance in other Wikipedia articles (and then some), and this whole entry reads in such a one-sided manner (poor innocent immigrants attacked by bad clueless Americans), I cannot but harbor doubts as to its authenticity.

[edit] Proposed move

It is spelled "Hennessy" not "Hennessey" on his tomb, and the New Orleans website [1] notes that "Hennessey" is an incorrect spelling. Not also a book about the incidents [2] also spells it "Hennessy" on the cover. -- Infrogmation (talk) 04:12, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

As there has been now objection, I have moved it. -- Infrogmation (talk) 02:46, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
