Fixed. I've removed the archive for #57, and #58 (archived here) was unreliable anyway. Anon126 (talk - contribs) 19:07, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is this plagiarism?

I don't know Wikipedia's policy on plagiarism, but the following two sentences are a direct (and unattributed) copy-paste from the cited Star Tribune article.

..."I can tell you the case was settled in principle two weeks ago," said personal injury attorney Michael Padden of Lake Elmo. A lawsuit was never formally served but "we resolved the case just by negotiation," he said. 71.215.84.21 (talk) 23:03, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can the following please be added under controversies

Ultimate Warrior Death/Professional Wrestling'

In March 2014 Nancy Grace again created controversy when she presented a report on the death of Professional Wrestler Jim "Ultimate Warrior" Hellwig.

She started her story by announcing "“accusations of steroids and illegal drugs swirling," despite no such stories circulating. (source: http://www.ibtimes.com/ultimate-warrior-death-steroids-drug-abuse-insinuated-nancy-grace-wrestlers-fire-back-1570179).

She added to this by showing a list of wrestlers who she said had died owing to steroid or drug abuse, names included Owen Hart (died due to an accident at a Pay Per View event), Mark Curtis (died from stomach cancer), and Joey Morella (a referee who died in a car accident).(source: http://www.pwinsiderelite.com/article.php?id=84886&p=1).

The mention of Owen Hart's name led to a group of twitter users creating the hash tag #CancelNancyGrace (source: http://au.eonline.com/news/530821/cancelnancygrace-trends-after-hln-host-implies-deaths-of-wrestlers-ultimate-warrior-owen-hart-involved-steroids)

Misconduct

Grace's history in the courtroom is a huge point of criticism against her, yet the article as it now stands has no mention of serious legal misconduct. Why was all that information removed (with this revision [1]) SirChuckB (talk) 15:16, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Maintaining balance on Nancy Grace is tough given that she is a polarizing figure. It would certainly be appropriate to include information about the findings of misconduct, but I have to agree with User:DHeyward's removal of the prior content. The previous section was out of proportion to section about Grace's prosecutorial career, so it gave the misconduct undue weight in the overall article. One or two sentences about the findings of misconduct would be more appropriate in that section, at least until that section is expanded.--Mojo Hand (talk) 16:04, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Depictions of Grace in popular media

North Carolina Deathcore band COLUMNS have a song titled "Punching Nancy Grace" on their August 2014 album "Please Explode" on Relapse records. Source: http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Columns/Please_Explode/432132
