Robert F. Kennedy assassination
Hi there. I can see you are a regular contributor to this article, and I hope you don't feel that the changes made have impinged too greatly on the article's quality. The problem was that the article was too heavily weighted towards conspiracy theories and disputes about the death, and the tone of the piece was part memorial part dramatic documentary. This is what prompted the cleanup.

That said, I accept that I may have made mistakes. Such is the nature of the beast of editing a single article for several hours (e.g. I noticed you corrected a factual error made in the media section). One of the major problems was finding independent third-party reliable sources. This meant, for the conspiracy section, trying to find sources that were not simply those of people promoting the theory - in some case this meant the sources were invalid, and the material was left unsourced meaning removal.

I naturally believe that sources long after the event will provide a more thorough account of certain events, but where I couldn't find those over the past two days, I have included satisfactory sources to compensate. I would of course be delighted if these could be supplemented by other secondary or tertiary reliable sources.

Perhaps we can engage in some dialogue over how you feel the article needs to improve, and reach some kind of consensus on the issue? Best wishes Fritzpoll (talk) 15:34, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

 * nice one on the page references. Unfortunately, the only book I can lay my hands on at the moment is Schlesinger's, not Moldea's Fritzpoll (talk) 23:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
