message: This article says that composition contains 3,500 words.
But the main Wikipedia "Kaczynski" article says 35,000.
So, which is it?
The article now says 35,000 words, which is correct. Also, citations have been added.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by JonnoFLI (talk • contribs) 01:46, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed this addition because it's not quite ready yet and still needs some improvement. It is not written in an encyclopedic tone (it says things like "when we study..." and "this brings us to our second point") and it includes a lot of unnecessary detail. This would be appropriate writing for, for example, a textbook or an introductory class, where you are trying to teach someone a new concept and walk them through it step-by-step, but it's not appropriate for an encyclopedia article. Furthermore, it should be written in summary style, especially because it's in a section that's meant to be an overview. This is not really the place for a detailed account of issues and limitations with conversation analysis in forensic linguistics, different types of witnesses, or a [frankly quite random] diversion into what 'policespeak' is. This section should just describe, as clearly as briefly as possible what it means to "study the language of legal processes". Finally, this may be a little nitpicky, but the addition included many errors, both grammatical (e.g. "speech is in the spoken form being *transcribe") and conceptual (e.g. "there will inevitably be a degree of subjectivity in the transcriber’s interpretation of the interviewee’s discourse. The transcriptions finally produced might be skewed towards the intentions of the interviewer." --- the last word there should probably be "transcriber", not "interviewer"). Please be careful to review and edit your contributions to correct these issues. rʨanaɢ (talk) 22:19, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Addition removed 

message: Hello.  I would like to improve this article and any input from editors is welcome and probably it is necessary.  I agree that the examples need trimming. There are citations to add also. Any suggestions for priority areas for the improvement? Lam Kin Keung (talk) 03:43, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm curious if the references above are two different (the first and the second) editions of the same book. There is no information on the web that Mr. Olsson has published a book by the name of the second one above: "An Introduction to Language Crime and the Law". As far as I know, this is just the subtitle of the book named "Forensic Linguistics", which has already been attributed in this very article and given as the first in this message.

thread_title:  Attributions to John Olsson 

message: This section focuses solely on on the Lindbergh Kidnapping ransom note. while that was famous case and the ransom note is useful in understanding the basic criteria needed to have a ransom note, there are other notes that should be looked at. Furthermore this section should just give an overview of what a ransom note should include. For example, ransom notes need to have a threat, leverage, and reward. You will need a reference for that.  An expansion on that, rather than a focus on one specific case would greatly benefit this section. Michalisk2016 (talk) 21:40, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
