Talk:2006 Harris County, Texas hate crime assault

message: Rewording a reference doesn't make it false.  Nor does one have to use the exact title of the story in the reference notes.  Just because the local news choses not to have some tact doesn't mean WE can't have some. --Hourick 11:26, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, Hourick, but neither you nor I own that reference and therefore we are not free to change its title. However, you are free to search for an equivalent source/reference with a title less offending to you. IMHO, what was done to that poor chap is quite more disgusting than a news headline. -- Túrelio 12:29, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

text: While I agree on what you say, perhaps a compromise can be reached.  A simple reference to the website linking the article directly.  There is no need to perpetuate something that was obviously humiliating even if the media market has no tact, but the article IS relevant. --Hourick 12:36, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Be careful, ref 4 is cited four times in the article! I still don't really see what's the problem with a ref title. I could easier understand someone to object the detailed description of the gruesome acts on David in our article. But such changes should be discussed between more users than you and me. -- Túrelio 12:54, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I realize that. But I came up with a better reference.Besides, references from Newspaper websites are generally better at maintaining their links than TV organizations. --Hourick 12:59, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A reference that is accessible only after registration like the one you added recently is not a good reference; actually such refs should be avoided if other are available.Additionally, your claim He also never spoke about his experiences to his family is not backed by ref 9. -- Túrelio 13:37, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I think someone should consider the rerouting of the David Ritcheson article to this one. It seems backwards to define the kid by this incident, as opposed to making this a subtopic in the Ritcheson article. I don't have a problem with keeping this article, too, if that makes people happy. Automatically redirecting from person -> event seems like a weird precedent.
Right now, it's like redirecting Patty Hearst -> 1974 SLA kidnapping, and then saying "oh, yeah, and this chick named Patty Hearst was the one who got kidnapped." --Ru1dt 14:40, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  No, it isn't - Hearst was notable before her kidnapping. Ritcheson was NOT notable before the PVC pipe assault. WhisperToMe 22:40, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Try this: Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, said she hopes to have the measure formally named "David's Bill" in Ritcheson's honor. from  AP: ‘He just internalized his pain’, MSNBC, July 3, 2007  -- Túrelio 21:32, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I am gonna change this to football, if noone has any objections. If I read that he was on a high school football team in texas, it would be unlikely that my mind would go to Gaelic Football or Australian Rules Football. WookMuff (talk) 02:05, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
