The content on this page and the other Winter Hill-related pages are great, however (with all due respect) your writing is poor and these entries read very awkwardly. I suggest you self-edit, unless someone else can do it without undermining the quality of the content. What you're saying on this (and Flemmi's) page is great, but its how you say it that could use alot of work.

Specifically, I think the sentences "Weeks was released from federal prison in early 2005 and has began a new life, supposedly not involving organized crime. Only time will tell if the former mob boss will stay clean." seem pretty biased. Is there a way to restate this? Jodamn 06:15, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As long as we're on the subject of awful writing, when you make a precise citation and introduce your own errors into it, you are ascribing your own abysmal writing skills to the author--- stated flatly, you make it look like Weeks and his coauthor are as poor at writing as you are. I tend to not take too harsh a view of ordinary mistakes; no one is perfect--- but how do you copy text out of a book and introduce errors into it? I'm reading Weeks' book right now, and that passage quoted doesn't read ANYTHING like what's in the wiki article. All the mistakes are by the copying author, not the original author. No excuse for this, that I can see. Either you have the book there, or you don't--- either way, if you don't copy exactly what's written in the book, your citation isn't an error--- it's a lie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.244.227.194 (talk) 03:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
