Russell Was an Opium Dealer[edit]

If I hadn't already had so much experience with Wikipedia, I would wonder why this article doesn't even mention that. It reads like a hagiography with a giant hole in the middle that would answer the question: where did this man get his money, anyway? --BenJonson (talk) 12:01, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's no hagiography, nor cover-up going on – simply a lack of interest. You've indicated you know how wikipedia functions: find the (reputable) sources, add them, and then let's go from there. MarmadukePercy (talk) 00:44, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
