Hello,

Please stop deleting my edits to The Death of Kent Leppink. I have improved the article, corrected misinformation and unsubstantiated claims disproved in court, and I've cited the sources for all of my additions and changes.

Because the page officially calls for improvement and citations, and I've provided the sources of my additions, my edits are not "too many" nor are they suspicious or problematic. To continue deleting them appears as though the editor/s doing so are pushing their own point-of-view or agenda.

Points-of-view are to be neutral, and as this topic involves a living person, the information provided must come from verifiable sources. I've read the trial transcripts, the appeal motions, the appeal findings and opinion, trial records submitted as evidence, and numerous news sources (much of which is inaccurate unfortunately, due to lazy journalism, reporters not bothering to read the trial transcripts but just copying what was first written and republishing it over and over again). My information is accurate and I've provided the sources.

In fact, there is much more detail and complexity to this case than I've added thus far and since the original article was much more about Mechele Linehan and the trial than it was about Kent Leppink, as it was, the title was misleading. Almost none of it was about Kent Leppink. Only the initial sentence was about his death. Nothing about his death other than that he was shot three times has been substantiated anyway, not even during the trial, which is why the conviction didn't stand. I do not know why someone directed Mechele Linehan inquiries to The Death of Kent Leppink page so that there is no page under her name.

It is arguable whether there should be an article on either Kent Leppink or Mechele Linehan, as they are not famous nor did they accomplish anything outstanding. There are many murder trials every year, so there is nothing special about them in that regard. Especially there is no reason to have an article titled Kent Leppink as he isn't even infamous. Most people know about Mechele Linehan, not Kent Leppink (most people don't even know his name).

However, if there is or are going to be an article or articles about either one of them, this article is better and more reliable now, so please stop deleting my contributions.

Thank you
