Cleanup[edit]

This article uses a lot of non-nuetral language such as "sadly", "even worse," "skipped over," "helpfully." It needs to be cleaned up. Sources needed as well.--Lendorien 20:56, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jeanenawhitney using AWB on this and scores of other Wiki pages apparently unknowingly deleted important information on Frank Stanford first revealed in the research around this entry; therefore, user's automated AWB edits were reverted.Ozarkhighlands (talk) 01:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"highly lexical"[edit]

... Isn't poetry intrinsically lexical?

Submit for peer review and GA status?[edit]

This is a really good article now. I'm not sure what the method of submitting it for review is, but it should be. Thanks to the editor who spent so much work on it. --Lendorien (talk) 19:40, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Footnote 48[edit]

The author of footnote 48 tries to reconcile (by stating one source to be a "misprint") sources that state the suicide weapon to have been a "pistol" with a source that states it to have been a "revolver", as if those two statements were contradictory. For most English-speakers, they are not. For most English-speakers, "pistol" and "handgun" are synonyms, and so a "revolver" IS a "pistol". To believe that there is a contradiction one must believe that the sources stating the weapon to have been a "pistol" are using the phrase "a pistol" in a way that is true of only SOME (but not most) English-speakers: as the equivalent of "an automatic". Unless some REASON is given for believing that the sources that say "pistol" are within this minority of English-speakers to whom "pistol" means "multi-shot but non-revolver", there is no reason to believe that they are stating the weapon NOT to have been a revolver. Ergo, they don't disagree with sources that say it WAS a revolver.69.86.239.244 (talk) 03:00, 5 November 2010 (UTC)Christopher L. Simpson[reply]

More cleanup[edit]

Somebody put a lot of love into this but also a bunch of original research and editorializing that has no place in WP. I did a bunch of cleanup in these diffs. This follows a query by User:Rockypedia at WT:RS here Jytdog (talk) 16:52, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
