Talk:Perjury in Nigeria

Edit request from, 11 November 2011
Please change the numbering of the footnotes of the paper 'Perjury in Nigeria' as follows: footnote 25 will change to footnote 24 and the subsequent numbering of the footnotes follows in that order.

 * You can't change the footnote number, they are automatically numbered in the order they appear. C T J F 8 3  19:17, 12 November 2011 (UTC)


 * We are converting the explicitly numbered notes into automatic ref tag generated foot notes. Eventually there will be no gaps.  The missing numbers are because some ibids collapse onto one foot note number and some text removed no longer needs a reference. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:24, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Please replace current footnote 51 "(1909) A.C. cited in Deji Sasegbon: Sasegbon's Laws of Nigeria (1st edition) An Encyclopedia of Nigerian Law and Practice 7 (Part III) Criminal Law & Practice, p. 1295" with "Turner, J.W.C: Russel on Crimes (Vol. 1)(London: Stevens & Sons, 1964), p. 302."

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: could you tell me why the reference should be changed?  Is the first inaccurate, or not reflective of the section using it as a citation? Ella Plantagenet (talk) 21:12, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

For the avoidance of doubt, when I converted that footnote into an inline citation, I did not check whether it was accurate. James500 (talk) 03:39, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks. As it is now the citation on footnote 51 cannot be found in the source cited. Turner, J.W.C. suggested is the correct source that should appear in footnote 51. Kindly reflect this observation.41.206.11.21 (talk) 18:16, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

"Please see sub-heading Assignment of Perjury lines 8 and change the word was to were" "Please also see the Nigerian case of Joshua v The State and change the statement later after a prosecution was begun against him for making a false statement as the police to now read later after a prosecution was begun against him for making a false statement at the police." "Please also change footnote 2 Sections 117 of the Criminal Ciode to now read Sections 117 of the Criminal Code."

 * I'll go through your requests one by one:

"Please see sub-heading Assignment of Perjury lines 8 and change the word was to were"
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: the subject of that sentence is singular, changing that word to "were" would cause disagreement with the subject.

"Please also see the Nigerian case of Joshua v The State and change the statement later after a prosecution was begun against him for making a false statement as the police to now read later after a prosecution was begun against him for making a false statement at the police."
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: neither of those sentences make sense. How about changing it to: "later he was prosecuted for making a false statement to law enforcement"?

Hi, Thanks. Please kindly go ahead with your suggestion so that the sentence now reads 'later he was prosecuted for making a false statement to law enforcement.' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.206.11.19 (talk) 18:08, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

"Please also change footnote 2 Sections 117 of the Criminal Ciode to now read Sections 117 of the Criminal Code."
 * It appears that was Pictogram voting wait.svg Already done, as I don't see that extra "i" in "Code"

'Please remove the words Whoever, legally being bound by an oath... up to where another Whoever...started again.' This appears under the sub-heading Definition.
