Talk:Ralph "Bucky" Phillips

message: Am I the only one who feels this has a very anti-police bias?  Also, the order of the article seems counter intuitive.  It seems to me that the police behavior should go after the most important parts of the story - shooting three police officers.  The story isn't about how NYS police are inefficient, but about a fugitive killing a police officer, isn't it?
Basically, to me it sounds like the article was written by someone on a Seneca reservation.

thread_title:  Bias? 

message: Unless someone has any argument at all as to why this should be deleted, I'm taking off the "deletion consideration" marker. And the "lack of sources" marker, because after my edit, two credible sources (cnn, philadelphia inquirer) will be listed. 69.136.243.29
:An Wikipedia:Articles for deletion template should never be removed unless the accompanying AFD discussion is closed, by an administrator. You may be thinking of proposed deletion, which any editor is permitted to remove. Also, when a concern about sources is raised, it's best to start adding them inline. --Dhartung | Talk 21:35, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Can someone please either present the case for deletion or remove the AFD template? I believe there is a place for this article. If the complaint is that it is more newsy than encyclopedic, I will remind everyone of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_July_2005_London_bombings page during the 7/7 bombings. Since Ralph "Bucky" Phillips is starting to gain the attention of the national media and has a whole region of New York on edge, I think the site warrents keeping.

text: I argued in the AFD that the speedy deletion did not meet the criteria. As it happened, the consensus (not a vote) went clearly against deletion, and the nom was withdrawn. Please note in future that only comments at the AFD entry count, there is no purpose to discussing it on an article talk page. --Dhartung | Talk 03:59, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Deletion Qualification

message: He escaped from jail. He was in jail for parole violation. What were his earlier offenses to put him in a parole situation? Please add the answer to the article. Thanks! 
Well, he got in a fight with another immate which violated his parole.  Kingturtle 13:34, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  what were his original crimes? 

message: It shall not be long before 250 SWAT officers surround him, take him away, book him in court to a fair but speedy trial - and give it just three months and he'll be in his cell at ADX Florence!  --Nicholas Weiner 16:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Good that they're closing in

message: I've seen news articles referring to Ralph "Buck" Phillips.  Out of curiosity I checked the FBI's entry on the wanted list for aliases and found both spellings.  Thus, I created redirects from "Buck Phillips" and "Buck Philips" to this page. Sdr 21:21, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently he was known by "Bucky" as a kid but also answers to "Buck". In any case the article is wrongly named (somebody was getting around the fact that earlier properly-named articles had been deleted). --Dhartung | Talk 03:59, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Bucky" and "Buck" = redirects 

message: Bucky Phillips was caught today, around 3 minutes ago. It is on most of the news so flip it on and watch.
It is true, he has been caught.  Article updates expected within an hour.  --Cyde Weys 00:24, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  He Has Been Caught. 

message: "Bucky" is not really part of his name, but rather a nickname, if I'm not mistaken. Shouldn't this article's title therefore be Ralph "Bucky" Phillips? Heimstern Läufer 21:01, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Buckey is his middle name. FellowWikipedian 22:41, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, James is his middle name. Bucky was just his nickname. I suggested in the AfD that this page be moved to Ralph Phillps and makes Ralph Bucky Phillips and Ralph "Bucky" Phillips redirects. TJ Spyke 23:22, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Shouldn't this article's title be Ralph James Phillips or Ralph Phillips? FellowWikipedian 23:38, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm, it seems like Ralph Phillips is used for a Looney Toons character, but Ralph James Phillips just redirects back to this page. TJ Spyke 23:49, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It would make more sence if the article's name was Ralph James Phillips. FellowWikipedian 00:44, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The general practice is to use the most common name, not an official name (e.g. Bill Clinton, not William Jefferson Clinton).  So I'd suggest either Ralph Phillips (fugitive) or Ralph "Bucky" Phillips. --Delirium 07:24, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ralph Phillips (fugitive) sounds better. FellowWikipedian 16:18, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, I always hear and read him called Ralph "Bucky" Phillips. I was under the impression that this was his most common name. If so (and of course I might be wrong), I think that should be that title. Heimstern Läufer 19:30, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ralph "Bucky" Phillips? 

message: I live in WNY, and heard a story saying his daughter was raped, from someone who knew one of the correctional officers in the prison in which he was detained, and that this was the immediate motive for his escape. Is there any truth to this? ~~----
:No.  Ford MF 04:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rape story? 

message: This section was completely out of hand, bloated far beyond its relevance to this article here.  I am however in general principally opposed to deleting large chunks of text (just because it doesn't quite belong here, doesn't mean it doesn't belong period), so I have spun the section off into its own article and linked from the section to its new home in its own main article.  Even still, this article here remains rather obese and loosely written and could desperately use a more thorough cleanup than I currently have the will to give it.
