Talk:William Rehnquist/Archive 2

message: The caption under the picture of Clinton's inauguration refers to it being from 1993.  On the actual picture page, it refers to the picture being taken in 1997.  I'm assuming the latter is more reliable, but I have no idea.  It's certainly something that needs to be looked at and corrected at some point. --Doctorcherokee 14:01, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Two of my attempts to revert a vandalization of this article met with editing conflicts that themselves
contained clear POV vanalization.  I think we need the higher ups at Wikipedia to step in here.
*No need to worry about vandalism.  This article will now be closely watched for quite a while, and vandalism will be quickly reverted.  NoSeptember 04:11, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

**Thanks alot, you did that fast.  User:Bancroftian.
•• I had added a link critical of the late Mr. Rehnquist's role in upholding electoral Jim Crow laws as
a critical counterpoint to the hagiography that passes for a 'neutral' position on Mr. Rehnquist's life's
work to wit:  http://www.commondreams.org/views/120200-101.htm. This was deemed a vandalistic
act. I respectfully disagree unless this is to be considered WikiPravda. 24.68.101.224 20:45, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

message: "The vacancy left by his death came less than two months after the retirement of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor"
O'Connor announced her retirement on July 1st so it was actually 2 months and 2 days later.  User:129.123.104.6

message: i may not have agreed with him ideologically, but he was a great man, i have to admit it. he wasn't not a dna-altered clone like roberts is. rest in peace. -Nosaj56 13:04, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  goodbye 

message: Since the late Justice Rehnquist was never Attorney General, it would be better if the intro paragraph did not link to that position as if he had been.  There either should be a redlink to the actual position or no wikilink at all. -Acjelen 14:35, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Before yesterday when the link was changed, this was a link to the Justice Department (the agency that employed him), this is my preference until an AAG article is created. NoSeptember 14:58, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

message: When all this news is coming in it is vital that we do not have it locked.  I would like to gain a general consensus to unlock it imeditatly. Bancroftian 14:36, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that long term locks on potentially active pages are not appropriate.  A lock for an hour until a vandal loses interest is ok, I hope that this was the blocking admin's intent.  If the image file is being vandalized, then that should be locked instead.  Blocking the vandals is better than locking an active page. NoSeptember 14:50, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed the page protection.  User:Executioner12 has been hard banned and User:4.173.214.128 has been blocked for 48 hours.  He appears to be responsible for the spate of  image vandalism.  If there is more repeated vandalism, please list the vandal at WP:AIV. Cheers and happy editing, BanyanTree 15:40, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: That took guts

message: Currently the last paragraph in the intro claims he was a "nazi". While this may be true, I think such a sensational statement MUST be cited. If not, it should be removed. Anyone disagree? WhiskeyMB 16:26, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I've seen several vandalizations by a user called Sunbox.
It's disrespectful, its ridiculous, and shouldn't be done.  We need to lock this page to prevent folks like Sunbox from doing stuff like he/she is.13:53, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

message: this current slate.com article points out that Rehnquist's dependence on painkillers was underreported in the media. the current wikipedia entry also greatly understates the degree and duration of this dependence
