This article have some sentences that needs to be rewrited. I'm the portuguese editor of the Lincoln County War, Billy The Kid and Richard Brewer articles, and there is a lot of erros in this one. They weren't a gang or a bunch of killers, just like the text suggests. Some times people confuses Billy The Kid history with Regulators and the other members history. Many of them, like Billy, Henry Brown, Chavez y Chavez, Tom O'Folliard etc became outlaws after the war. But there were a lot of them, like the Coe cousins, Frank McNab, Doc Scurlock etc, who never were outlaws, before or after the war. De Portago (talk) 20:49, 10 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
@De Portago I came here to say the same. The Regulators were NOT a gang but a deputized posse. Dick Brewer was immediately chosen as leader. When he was killed, the Regulators voted for Mcnab. So many of these pages about the LCW and characters secondary to Billy all seem to follow the plot of Young Guns, which is mostly fiction or based on skimming. FYI the Coes were not exactly peaceful while waiting to return to Lincoln, but, yeah, not strictly outlaws. BiographyHound (talk) 01:09, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
