Talk:José Medellín

replies: text: Probably because it said he was executed today whereas the reference said the scheduled date for execution was today. Two different things. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 01:07, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What are you talking about? Of course it was inaccurate. At the time Wiki was saying "José Medellín was executed today", the Supreme Court was still considering his appeal and was still very much alive. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 03:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

text: OK, cross purposes because of edit conflict. You asked "Why was the information at the bottom of the article 'regarding the scheduled execution date' removed?" I checked the article to find a sub heading saying Execution Date with supporting text "José Medellín was executed on August 5, 2008". It was inaccurate at the time I read it, but obviously had been inserted after you visited the page. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 03:58, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  he's not dead yet 

message: The unnecessary morbidity, and irritating sloppiness of this section has required editing. It is not a matter of sanitising the piece--the largely unsourced, spectacularly gruesome details of this section are inexcusable. I have no doubt that the section's callous handling of these atrocities would cause offence to a reasonable person, and is a potential source of untold hurt to the victims' families.
I have no doubt that the current edit is insufficient, and no doubt that its original author is worringly divorced from the material he/she has written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.62.236.34 (talk) 05:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have to disagree with removing all the details. It is disturbing and currently partly unverified, but I still think it is relevant to the case at hand (and the resulting execution). The events were horrible, but Wikipedia is not censored and I think in this case it is better to expose the crimes to the light of day. Information that is ultimately unverifiable or irrelevant should be removed, but I think your edit went beyond that, and in fact deleted references. Superm401 - Talk 06:29, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

text: The section has now been removed again, as it turns out it is a copyright violation, using content from http://www.murdervictims.com/voices/jeneliz.html without GFDL permission. We will have to rewrite appropriate content in our own words. Superm401 - Talk 05:51, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Editing on the rape and murder section 

message: So, the article's administrators have reinstated its grimness. A score for democracy! Listen, while zealots are running around like termites, defending and spreading the democracy of knowledge, your little hearts are decaying. Seriously. THIS ISN'T A JOKE. I was genuinely offended by that article, and I ain't no prude. I have no doubt others will find it offensive too. So, if you are a wiki-zealot (and I pray for you if you are) then here's a cure, suggested elsewhere to our young administrator Superman40, or something:
Ask yourself these 3 questions about the article's section on the crimes: "Are the gruesome details in the public interest?"; "Are they verifiable?"; and "How would a friend/family member of the victims respond to reading it?"
Have a think about that, young WikiWarriors.
:I put the grim details back, and I explained why above. Superm401 - Talk 06:32, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, Superman. You know best. As an ex-journo, what would I know? "It's a paradigm shift!" I hear you scream, "We don't have to play by their silly old rules anymore!!" Okay. I get it. Just be careful of idiocy--I think it might be your kryptonite.
Right, I'm getting back to work now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.62.236.34 (talk) 06:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there any info on his Immigration Status? I think that information would be pertinent to the discussion as it might explain why he was not granted the rights of the treaty to a visit with the consulate. I couldn't find anything in a quick search. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.149.209.5 (talk) 15:27, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :José Medellín's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Ross":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 15:15, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
