Category talk:Recipients of American presidential pardons

message: 1. Should somebody who has received presidential clemency, but not a pardon per se, be in this category?  This issue (among many, many others related to categorization) is under discussion at Talk:Peter Yarrow.
2. Given that a pardon (although not clemency) essentially nullifies a conviction, should this category be (via :Category:Pardon recipients) a subcategory of :Category:Criminals?  Conversely, should this category be a subcategory of :Category:American criminals?  Or are some recipients of presidential pardons not Americans?
Your thoughts would be welcome. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 05:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: While a pardon may erase a conviction from the criminal record, it does not erase the conviction from the historical record. Pardons and clemency  only (except in the rarest cases) are offered to those who've been covicted of crimes. A pardon means that the subject does not bear the legal costs of the crime, not that the crime never happened.  ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 06:04, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, those "rarest of cases" probably do make a difference in whether or not we can make one cat a subcat of another.  Not to argue what should or should not have happened, wasn't Nixon pardoned without ever being charged with anything.  That's just the obvious example that comes to mind to make the point that exceptions matter.  I am by no means an expert on this topic. Aleta (Sing) 13:23, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

text:  From what I understand, both the pardon and clemency erase the criminal record, so according to the authorities, it's as if the crime never happened. --Jkp212 (talk) 15:23, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe you're mistaken in this; I believe that whether the criminal record is erased is the most important distinction between pardons and clemency. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 19:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

These links only provide a directory link to a page at the Economist Magazine which is absolutely NOT a citable item. Furthermore this link only purports to link to a podcast that is no longer available (as far as I can determine). There is no evidence on the web that Fiametta Rocco said that Ferris’s 2nd novel was the best novel she had read in a decade.

Talk:Justin Cronin

message: Added a citation verification tag to the claim that the nyt review of The Passage was favorable. In my honest opinion, whomever wrote that did not grasp the tone of the review, which seems to be at best neutral, if not slightly mocking (e.g., describing the transition to the Colony narrative as being "the Time of Portentous Upper-Case Names"; commenting on Cronin's overuse of italicization in his writing.)
Look, if the contributors to this page want to white wash the reception of Cronin's book (which, more fairly could be described as "mixed," in my opinion) then by all means, be my guest. However, such attempts should at least be supported by credible (though no doubt biasedly selected!) sources. Bottom line: The New York Times review does not support the in-text claim of "favorable reviews."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.1.95.199 (talk) 19:19, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Since there were likely a large number of airstrikes on that day, and the US reports of this action do not refer to calling in the "fast movers" (jet fighters), I do not think it should be include.
