Talk:Dianne Wilkerson

not entitled to a preliminary hearing
I removed the reference to a preliminary hearing. The government arrested Sen. Wilkerson on a criminal complaint, but since the grand jury then indicted her, she's not entitled to a preliminary hearing. Tfolkman (talk) 19:16, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Booted from State House after removing papers
I removed the paragraph because the referenced article is very unclear.

http://news.bostonherald.com/news/politics/view/2008_11_25_Senate_prez_boots_Dianne_Wilkerson_from_State_House_after_pop-in

It states that two large bins of papers were removed from the State House. By whom? Were they returned?

Her lawyer Stern stated: “She hasn’t thrown out anything that the FBI won’t look through,” Is it just me, or is that nonsense?

The paragraph I removed stated that she was escorted off the premises and that the papers were recovered. I don't see that in the reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anna Frodesiak (talk • contribs) 20:05, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

disgraced
Considering the video evidence, this is viable. Wikipedia does not adhere to "Innocent until proven guilty". She has been disgraced in the public and media eye, and this site should mirror the current zeitgeist of the Boston area. Dough007 (talk) 03:34, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


 * With due respect, for Wikipedia to mirror the disgraced zeitgeist of the Boston area would not be neutral WP: NPOV or encyclopedic. This is not Wikitabloid. This is a just the facts, ma'am publication. Off the record, looking at the video, and her past convictions, yes, she is a criminal. That is pretty obvious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anna Frodesiak (talk • contribs) 05:07, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


 * According to [| this]:


 * First sentence content
 * The article should begin with a straightforward, declarative sentence that, as briefly as possible, provides the reader who knows nothing at all about the article's subject with the answer to two questions: "What (or who) is it?" and "Why is this subject notable?".[2]


 * Maybe you are right in that more than just the word former is in order. Why is she notable? Because she is being charged. How about a second sentence that reads: She is currently charged with... and is awaiting a $#$^&%storm of trouble. What do you think?


 * Anyway, I did not undo your 'disgraced', as you may be right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anna Frodesiak (talk • contribs) 05:24, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

I agree. I should not edit while drunk.Dough007 (talk) 06:14, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Photo
Can't someone dig up a photo of her? Where does one look?--Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:50, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I've seen photos on news sites but they are not copyright free. The Flying Monkeys that control images don;t seem to recognize fair use so I have stopped trying to use images with any form of copyright.  She may have a federal booking photo and that would be free.  --DHeyward (talk) 04:31, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Evidence photo
This photo here: http://media.masslive.com/breakingnews/photo/9374527-large.jpg is an evidence photo - it's clearly marked as such and it's clearly a public document because of that. We should use this photo

Member of the Massachusetts Senate from the 2nd Suffolk district
Could someone with more brains than me please fix up the infobox. Should it be a generic person box now? What should replace the 'Member of the Mass.....' etc? --Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:14, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
