Talk:Walter Lee Williams

Warrant for... criminal forfeiture?
I know the source says the warrant is for it, but criminal forfeiture isn't a crime, and it isn't something you're wanted for... more likely he's wanted for a crime where the penalty is forfeiture. Maybe the warrant says it, but it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. —/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 22:02, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Does anyone notice a problem with the changes in wording?
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Walter_Lee_Williams&type=revision&diff=741964399&oldid=731989370 Comparing these two, the most recent edit to the article is attempting to avoid proper description of Williams' crimes, even when fully referenced within the cited source material. I believe the language describing his acts should be reverted back to the previous version.49.156.33.2 (talk) 17:56, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

I think that bulk of changes are reasonable and improve quality of article but, in my opinion, certain elements do give impression of intentional obfuscation. Also, I am not sure on policy and am unable to find applicable guidance at this time but the change being made by a colleague, at the subject's apparent behest, makes me wonder if the edit is toeing line on targeted neutral POV.
