Jameis Winston / References

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Under "References," please consider deleting number (9), for the following reason:

USA Herald, and/or Ted Smith, is not a legitimate media source, nor is the published article factually accurate. Specifically, it is a matter of verifiable public record that Florida State Attorney, Willie Meggs, was initially apprised of the December 7, 2012 Tallahassee Police Department report of sexual assault (which subsequently implicated Mr. Winston) no earlier than November of 2013.

Removed source and replaced with better one. - Maximusveritas (talk) 22:01, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 21 December 2013

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Under the Sexual assault complaint it it currently states:

"On December 5, 2013, state attorney Willie Meggs announced the completion of the investigation and that no charges would be filed against Winston in this case.[14]"

It would be more accurate to state the following:

"On December 5, 2013, according to State Attorney Willie Meggs he stated that "well we went through the process of trying to gather all of the information we could gather and like we do in every case that we prosecute we looked at it we evaluated the evidence and we have a standard we are required to go by of that we should not file a case or charge someone with a crime, any crime, unless we can be assured in our minds that we have a reasonable likelihood of a conviction and in this case we just didn't feel like with all of the facts as they rolled out that we would be able to sustain a conviction or obtain a conviction." [14] "

I feel that gives a more accurate account for the charges not being filed than what is currently displayed.

Please change Jameis Winston's place of birth from Hueytown, Alabama to Bessemer, Alabama because he was not born in Hueytown, he just went to Hueytown High School. On the school website (Seminoles.com) in his biography his birth place is listed as Bessemer, Alabama. 68.59.49.44 (talk) 01:45, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question: @68.59.49.44: Can you point me to where it says this on Seminoles.com? EvergreenFir (talk) 03:04, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done Found it myself ([1]). Will make edit. EvergreenFir (talk) 03:06, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Who is "her"?

When he made that obscene remark, was he referring to a specific person, perhaps his accuser in the rape case? Or was he just trying to be obscene in general? Bostoner (talk) 20:53, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
