I'm impressed with your changes to MAJ, but...
...if you go off and rename articles without any prior discussion, you're going to be less than popular with a lot of editors here. No offense intended, but this might be a good time to take a breath. Oh, and welcome to Wikipedia! :) --CliffC 00:28, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 1982 Trial of Mumia Abu-Jamal The article about his 1982 trial will relate events occuring at it. Mumia Abu-Jamal legal proceedings will tell the story of all legal maneuvres commencing with the aforementioned. Unrelated information will be excised - the first of it being speculations and commentaries that are not any part of legal motions and proceedings or fairly relevant to exposing the story of the said. I encouage you to help to find cites to replaces the 'cite-needed' tags in Mumia Abu-Jamal.NonlisteningFriend 01:46, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for being welcoming to me,too. I have reasons for splitting out the bio article on Mumia A-J to the 'Free Mumia', and '82 Trial' and 'Legal proceedings' articles .. it's the wealth of information about this high-profile case. His bio had got verrrrry long. Researching to find references for the article has really affected my emotional state .. as i tend to disbelieve the report of his '81 hospital bed confession as much as I believe the report of his '92 jail confession. Plus the fact of his not going on the record with an explanation as to how it is that he got shot until 2001. I am most willing to believe William Singletary and the court stenographer woman who claims to have heard a very distasteful remark uttered by the judge about "helping them fry the nigger" just before the trial. That being so I'm very perturbed by the fact of his death sentence and his lack of success in obtaining retrial. A policeman was killed in the line of his duty and his brothers are carrying on the fight against those that they blame for it with unbounded resolve. It is something to be handled with the utmost sobriety.NonlisteningFriend 02:37, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Picture sizes
This is a minor issue, but I'm wondering if you'd consider removing the Mumia pic from Daniel Faulkner until we get a picture of Faulkner that's as least as large. If we got a decent sized one we could force both to the same width. There's a nice uncropped 282x300 version of the 100x125 Faulkner pic we use at http://www.thepolicenews.com/DanielFaulkner.jpg but I don't know if we could claim that the same copyright applies. --CliffC 00:22, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Faulker as the lead picture with Abu-Jamal's image placed near the first occurrence of his name. If A-J's image is bigger, it's still only the same size it is as is featured in Mumia Abu-Jamal .. not a sufficient justification for removing it entirely.NonlisteningFriend 01:58, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Main page appearance: Mumia Abu-Jamal
This is a note to let the main editors of Mumia Abu-Jamal know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on July 11, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/July 11, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director or his delegate, or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests.

If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:



Mumia Abu-Jamal (born Wesley Cook on April 24, 1954) is an American convict, serving a life sentence for the 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. He was sentenced to death at his first trial in July 1982, and his case became an international cause célèbre. Before his arrest, he was an activist and radio journalist who became President of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists. He was a member of the Black Panther Party until October 1970. Supporters and opponents disagreed on the appropriateness of the death penalty, his guilt, and whether he received a fair trial. He was described as "perhaps the world's best known death-row inmate". During his imprisonment he has published several books and other commentaries, notably Live from Death Row (1995). In 2008, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the murder conviction but ordered a new capital sentencing hearing because the jury was improperly instructed. Subsequently, the United States Supreme Court also allowed his conviction to stand but ordered the appeals court to reconsider its decision as to the sentence. In 2011, the Third Circuit again affirmed the conviction as well as its decision to vacate the death sentence, and the District Attorney of Philadelphia announced that prosecutors would no longer seek the death penalty. He was removed from death row in January 2012.(more...) UcuchaBot (talk) 23:01, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
