Citation and formatting
Hello, I’m @Spectrallights. This message is in regards to an edit you made on the page Wrong Is Right. I saw that you added a review from The New Republic's Stanley Kauffmann. However, the URL you provided for the source was simply http://www.newrepublic.com. Wikipedia's citation guides state that "Links should be to full versions of the source." It is fine if a direct link cannot be found, but the citation should include as much info that is available of the source. For example, if you know the date of the review, volume number of the magazine issue, etc. then those should be included as part of the reference. Date of access is not necessary if a direct link cannot be located. I edited the reference to remove the broad URL to The New Republic's homepage and the date of access. If you have any questions or think I made a mistake, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Spectrallights (talk) 21:25, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Lisa died in Kent which is the only reason our Town Clerk is the one who registered it.
I've been corresponding with the NY Times about their blatant error. The obituary acknowledges that the Kent Town Clerk registered her death and the physical location of the death is what decides what Town Clerk is the one who registers it...the statement that her home was "in Carmel" which relies on her mailing address notwithstanding.

Most of Kent gets its mail from the Carmel post office (more of the Town of Kent,geographically,than the portion of the Town of Carmel that gets its mail from there)...but we are not "in Carmel".(There has been spotty uptake of the "Kent Lakes" postal designation allowed to Kent addresses getting mail from Carmel PO).

My father died at our home in Kent that is about a mile closer to Carmel than Neil & Lisa's and it was registered by the Kent Town Clerk(Yolanda Cappelli) while my mother died at the hospital in Carmel and her death was registered by the Carmel Town Clerk(Ann Garris).

If you want to give your "reliable source" the benefit of the doubt,go with what must be inferred from their accurate statement that the Kent Town Clerk registered it (had Lisa actually died in Carmel the Carmel Town Clerk would have registered it)...not their naive reliance on the postal address.71.105.190.227 (talk) 18:36, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
