This is an excellent article about a fascinating man. Its only real flaw is that it's not referenced and there are no inline citations. With some polishing and referencing this would easily be a Good Article. Jeffpw 08:50, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Savage Night

Editing the paragraph on Savage Night to reflect the information actually given in the book. There are no concrete references to the "writer" as a "Bible salesman" or the fact that he cuts up Bibles to put together books. It is clear, however, that he is a pulp fiction writer, much akin to Thompson himself, whose work is sold alongside pornography. Also removing the phrase "cunt farm" as it is NOT a quote from the book (the book is almost completely void of profanity), though it IS referred to as a "farm." Liontamarin 20:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
