:Thank you for your contributions.  However I must ask if you just cut and pasted those sections?  Be advised that extensive cutting and pasting sections could be considered plagiarism if not attributed properly.  Also it is not within Wikipedia's scope to have entire sections quoted from other sources.  --Ichabod 23:58, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

message: This deal almost brought Nashville to a halt in a way that previous child/adolescent murders did not (remember Paula Herron?).  I can't name the writers, but this was more when Nashville lost its innocence than at any other point, and along with the Janet March case is still Nashville's #1 unsolved crime (maybe even a bit ahead of Janet).

replies: text: Now that the Janet March case is solved, with husband Perry doing what is essentially life for her killing, this is again definitely Nashville's #1 unsolved crime.  However, the media and general public fascination with it is still somewhat unsettling to me.  As I noted above, it is not even close to unique —there was another unsolved murder of a little girl who rode the bus that used to go to the old "All Weather Rollerdrome" on Thompson Lane (the building where H. H. Gregg is now); despite her definitively having been raped and brutally murdered, with an old sock shoved down her throat and her body left across the road from the Roller Drome in what was then a vacant field, very little about this is ever said.  It is also arguable more famous than the far more recent disappearance of a 11 year old girl waiting for the school bus in East Nashville about three years ago.  All that I can gather is that the social classes of the three are different; Marcia was from an affluent, Green Hills family rather than working class like the other two. But the story remains so strongly that when Marcia's mother recently remarried, even that became a story.  Rlquall 16:14, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I'd like to remove the Mickey Miller Statement, or at least trim it down extensively.  It's not very encyclopedic, especially the plea and phone number at the end.  I'd like to hear what other editors have to say.  --Ichabod (talk) 06:14, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Mickey Miller Statement

message: Have made extensive modifications to try to give the article encyclopedic tone, but think it still has breathless, popular crime quality.  If the notability is the impact the case had on Nashville, then that should be discussed more with valid, third-party sources. Revised it in terms of chronology.  Recommend a different title - say, Murder of Marcia Trimble, because the notablity was the crime and its impact on people's consciousness.--Parkwells (talk) 11:17, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Tone and content

message: This reads like the first draft of a poorly written research paper. The entire article should be taken down, outlined by a real author and recompiled. "The murder disturbed the residents of Nashville?" Really? That's an understatement. In addition there are sentences with awkward construction, repetitive phrasing and other errors. If you're going to take the time to write an article about an event important to so many Nashvillians, at least take the time to do it well. 68.53.99.15 (talk) 02:07, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
