I need help learning character strings needed for formatting, attribution, referencing scans/photos, linking; and customs for addressing fellow wikipedians using talk pages, etc. I would like to help another Wikipedian who feels swamped in order to establish my fluency here. Any suggestion or assignment will be welcome. An example used in "rules of evidence, federal," seems a bit weak: It's a contrived example of testimony disallowed for vindicating the suspect and also incriminating him or her. Testimony is deemed unacceptable for revealing the suspect's KKK affiliation. I see a problem with barring testimony which exonerates a suspect beyond all doubt. Lacking context the example leaves me hanging. Exculpatory evidence might be present thus rendering testimony redundant which would be fine. But a guilty murder verdict and a death sentence would be a miscarriage of justice if barring said testimony excluded multiple eyewitness accounts placing the defendant at a KKK gathering instead of the crime scene. Also problematic: masked KKK participants aren't identifiable on purpose. KKK members don't typically consent to being identified, which would be a necessary precondition to testifying. The world is full of gray areas. But this seems awkward as examples go. Jeffreagan (talk) 11:27, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
