Article Evaluation:

In this article everything seems to be relevant to the topic and nothing seems to stray away from the concept. All the information is in chronological order and the only thing that seems to be missing are the next two volumes to the series. Either they have not been written yet or the page needs updating. A little more could be given on the overview portion and the rationale portion seems a little unnecessary. There are some different views given and them seem to be comparing the author to other authors rather than criticizing the literature. Only a few of the links worked, and some of them were even archived. However most of the citations seem to come right from this authors book. The kind of conversations that are going on are those defending their stance and correcting people in citing errors. The article is rated as a C-Class.

Article Selection:

John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories - The word choice in the first paragraph seems to be very basic and poorly written. The theory of the "magic bullet" is not well explained or given complete background. The author goes right into how it went through Kennedy and then through Connally. (A source for the "magic bullet" or "single-bullet" theory was added.)

Death of Diana, Princess of Wales conspiracy theories - The article seems to be bias to the fact that it makes it seem not a conspiracy theory. The theory that Prince Charles arranged Princess DIana's murder is not touched upon a lot. More should be added about how the two of them separated and before they were, Charles was already back with his previous lover, Camilia. Diana even says in an interview that there were "three of them in the marriage" and it "felt a little crowded." So that portion could be touched along a little more. And how Henri Paul was not behind the crash due to the fact that he died as well. Another part that could be touched on could be the fact that Charles and Camilia never "ended" their relationship and Diana was a cover up due to her tie to the royal family.

Elvis Sightings - There is not much on this page. Only evidence of one sighting which was a Home Alone movie that turned out not even to be him. However, this article can be updated because there have been recent sightings of a grounds keeper that looks to be "the King". Tourists visiting Presley's home, Graceland, have photographed evidence of a groundskeeper that appears to look like Elvis, just aged. Some have even sad to have heard him singing and it sounds just like Presley. There has been plenty of articles that refer to the day of the funeral at Presley's home. Black helicopters could be seen flying around Presley's house hours before his body was discovered. Some conclude that the helicopters are those of a known mob family that Presley did not pay his dues to. So it could be said that Presley went into hiding and faked his own death, as many conspirators say celebrities tend to do when the fame get too much for them. And in recent news, it is to be said that Lisa Marie, Presley's daughter, is looking to move back to her childhood home desperately after her nasty divorce to rebuild her fortune.

Grief - There are multiple sections that are explained with the different types of grief that people go through. They explain the definition of grief and then go into the stages of grief after losing someone close. The contributors then go into breaking up the loses by section. Loss of a child, classmate, parent, spouse, sibling, and then suicide. While each section is pretty lengthy giving the proper amount and evidence of the physical state and emotional state of the individual, the section for loss of a parent does not give its justice. Being that I have just written a whole research on the psychological effects of a child after the loss of a parent, I think I have plenty of information that can be added to support the section of loss of a parent. Information taken from an medical website and from my research paper, "The first thing that is stated is that there are two approaches to the psychological well-being of someone. The first is hedonic approaches which has to deal with the state of being in maximum amounts of pleasure and minimum amounts of pain. And the second approach is called eudaimonic approaches which has to deal with the state of being alive and as engaged with life as you can be. Now the authors describe that after such a catastrophic thing happens in your life, the male portion leans to depend on alcohol as a sign of depression or a way of grieving. While the women tend to grieve with a way called somatic response. Which, this is basically when the woman remembers the moments or times shared with the deceased and forces their body to either cry or laugh it out. In a study done where 200 adults were recruited between the ages of 36 to 60, the grief reactions were recorded. These people where chosen because they had lost a parent in the past 5 years. “… difficulties sleeping and working and getting along with certain people; residual reactions included becoming upset when thinking about the parent, finding it painful to recall the parent’s memory, inability to avoid thinking about the parent, and crying when thinking about the parent” (Marks et. all). Even when you are a grown and mature adult, the memory of a lost parent can still affect your daily life. "
