I've edited it to include that now. Incidentally, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had previously noted that he had contacted "a UMass Dartmouth professor," without naming Williams, even though Williams was named in the Boston Globe article that was cited. Not sure if this was just sloppiness or an intentional coverup. -2003:CA:8717:D27C:1050:2834:F1BB:9F73 (talk) 18:34, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Communication with Boston bomber...

[edit]

The user EasyAsPai recently removed well-sourced content regarding the professor's communication with the Boston bomber, arguing that: "Need to find a way to put this claim in the context of an article or something, because otherwise it just sounds like a terrorist reached out to him to chat, full stop"

I'm not opposed to more context being added, but the information is well-sourced, and it's certainly notable, in fact being one of the things that this particular professor is most famous for. Removing it is a clear violation of WP:NotCensored.

Moreover, speaking of context, looking at this article's history, it looks like it used to be much much longer, and the material was well sourced, but someone went and deleted most of the content.

In any case, I'm going ahead and restoring the noteworthy and reliably sourced content that was unduly removed. -2003:CA:8717:D2AE:F77C:3325:EF99:9D04 (talk) 20:57, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
