Talk:Cyril Wecht

Wecht and JFK
The legal troubles he has had including the pending trial certainly damage his credibility regarding the JFK assassination issue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.154.121.63 (talk • contribs) 14:03, June 6, 2007

Date wikification
Here's the policy on dates: Manual of Style (dates and numbers). Generally link full dates so that the editor/reader's preference settings will display their chosen format. Basically, wikify dates of the kind: But not: because there is no browser display-preference benefit. LInk on this occasion when there is something that is actually significant about that MONTH YEAR. (Meaning rarely)
 * MONTH DAY, YEAR
 * MONTH DAY
 * MONTH YEAR

Formatting references for easier editing
I went through the text and cleaned out misplaced periods, spaces, quotation marks and the like associated with the text near references. I reformatted how the tags related to the text so that they can be found with greater ease in the editing screen. Here is what I suggest when people add a reference. The good result of this is that you can locate the end of any reference easily, since the closing is on the first column. This should make it easier to add or edit the text of the article while noticing where the end and start of each reference is. Comments invited.

some text at the end of the sentence.NOSPACE Start of next sentence. The result looks like this while editing: some text at the end of the sentence. Start of next sentence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacob2727 (talk • contribs) 12:38, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Since a recent (June 2009) editor appears to be confused about repeating citations on Wikipedia, a couple of things should be clarified:
 * The above suggestion from 2008 is a editor's (unsigned) personal preference and not mandatory.
 * The suggestion does not address using  tags for repeating citations.  The real style guideline for this on Wikipedia is Citing sources, which is that   tags are encouraged for repeated references. --Closeapple (talk) 18:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, encouraged, not required or recommended in all situations. This topic involves a controversial case that would be best if full citations are included for each fact entered. Even if the citation is a repeat of a previous one within the topic. Since full citations assist in mitigating any unfounded allegations and since full citations do not harm the page what so ever, please leave the full citations and stop reverting others edits. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.215.5.179 (talk) 01:05, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Federal Indictment
Agreed that the details of the indictment should be added; however it should only be the details of the indictment. Some of the allegations that were raised in the posting on the indictment were not part of the indictment at all. The confusion appears to be systemic in the coverage of the case. These non-indictable allegations can serve as a potential bias in the article.

In the coming days, I will add a section on the indictment that references directly to the indictment available online. The details will be supported by the indictment and include nothing more in order to maintain a neutral point of view for the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacob2727 (talk • contribs) 12:38, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
