 The 2014 Inquest 

NB This was originally posted, by a different editor, under Talk:Hillsborough disaster#Missing from this article? but I'm moving it to its own section so it doesn't get lost. 2.25.115.116  

Currently the article does not convey the fact that a new Inquest into the Hillsboroguh Fans' deaths has begun. 

Changes to the article are likely to be actually controversial or be seen to be controversial for the next year or so, regardless of source. New facts may emerge into the public domain as a alarge amount of documentation has been made available to the Coroner. 

For this reason, Wikipedia Editors might be best seeking to lock editing for the duration and to seek expertise regarding how to edit without interfering with the Inquest.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.40.44.174   

The above is probably one of many reasons why this article should be locked for editing, given the topic immediately above this one. This article has already been raised at WP:AN. Lets defer to the admins common sense and judgement for the time being  (attempt) 

Articles relating to high-profile court cases are not normally protected - see WP:PROTECT for policy. This is partly because this a private website based in the USA; the US and UK rules on freedom of speech during court cases are rather different and Wikipedia - like other organisations - doesn't take kindly to people outside the US trying to apply their rules to it.    Also, there are plenty of Wikipedia editors who are quick to remove material they see as inappropriate and 185 editors have this article on their watchlist. This can work very well - see above for how quickly the offensive material was removed from this article - so I expect the default will be to carry on as normal unless problems arise. If they do, there's a whole range of measures that include blocking particular editors from Wikipedia or barring brand new or unregistered editors.   

 The Elephant in the Room 

QUESTION. Was this match an all ticket affair ? If so, how many of the 96 had tickets ?? If they did have tickets - were they purchased from reputable retailers ???

The great unknown about this disaster be the matter of tickets - if only those supporters who had purchased legitimate tickets through reputable outlets had turned up on the day - the odds are this disaster would never have happened.

Speaking as a Scouser - this may sound traitorous to some, but, it be the one big question that has never been answered.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.40.73.212   

Reads the article - Hillsborough_disaster#Build-up states "On match day, radio and television advised fans without tickets not to attend". Now get down from your trollbox. '''''' Dick Laurent is dead 19:
