Boaz Alabama Police Incident
don't hide the truth. just because you wish it hadn't happened doesn't make it untrue. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.8.42.154 (talk • contribs) 22:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I have not ever heard about this incident, nor do I live in the United States, so I do not care about hiding anything. It is a Wikipedia guideline. See WP:good_faith. However, you provided information that was not sourced in any way. For that reason it was removed. You've readded it now, but the information you've added now is a breach of copyright and is therefore a violation of Wikipedia guidelines. Please see Copyrights for more information. I have therefore deleted it, again. Additionally, it's hard to see if the information belongs in the Boaz, Alabama entry. It would be a good idea to discuss such an addition on the talk page, perhaps.

To other wikipedians, do you think the incident described in http://birmingham.fbi.gov/history.htm is notable and belongs in an entry such as this? I have little perspective on US issues. Frank Quist 23:42, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I must agree with the user this incident is important. With the long history of civil right violations in Alabama it is extremly important for people to know what is going on. I say let it stay it is factual and relevant.
