Talk:Subic rape case

message: I edited the portion about the nickname to show that it's a designated name intended to protect her identity although, as I've written above, her real name is . However, one thing I'm not clear about is if it's the media or the court that gave her the designation. Any help to clarify this would be appreciated. --- Tito Pao 00:18, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: She had been called "Nicole" already by the media even before the case was filed in the court. We first learned about "Nicole"'s case (and her nickname) through the media. The legal case came afterwards. --Weekeejames 02:25, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Re: Nickname 

message: does anyone know what the verdict says about why the other accused were acquitted? I think it's relevant to the article. 
:Surfing around, I found http://salaswildthoughts.blogspot.com/2006/12/us-marine-lance-cpl-daniel_116528828048767562.html, which said: The court said Duplantis, Silkwood, and Carpentier cannot be considered co-conspirators or principals even if they did cheer and provided "moral aid" during the rape because the prosecution failed to prove that they knew what Smith was going to do.  That site doesn't strike me as a very citeable source.  Perhaps someone else can find a more citeable source.  A link to an online transcript of the court decision would be nice (also the recent CA decision and, eventually, the SC decision).  
BTW the inquirer link is gone Sandtiger 00:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I emailed the Inquirer about the removal of their link to that archived series of articles.  Let's give it a week or so, and remove the link if the articles remain unavailable. -- Boracay Bill 02:12, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just a heads up...one possible reason why the Inquirer link is gone is because they moved to a new domain name (www.inquirer.net). There was somewhat an issue as to why Inquirer and GMA 7 split up from the original INQ7.net partnership, but as it stands, the two media outlets have their own news portals. So it's likely that the same old article is there...just that, there's a new link for it. --- Tito Pao 12:22, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

text: The articles have reappeared, over on the www.inquirer.net URL, vs. inq7.  I fixed the link. -- Boracay Bill 10:46, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  How about the others? 

message: As of the news, the Philippine government released Daniel Smith without court order last year (I remembered that it was December 29, 2006 at dawn, please verify this). He is currently under custody at the US Embassy in the Philippines. Many rallies are occuring within the area just due to this case. A-yao 10:07, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Release of Smith

message: I have today edited the Application to this case section of this article, adding a couple of cites of articles from the list of collected news articles.  The single sentence following my second cite, "The Court of Appeals has yet to decide on the custody ruling of the trial court and on the appeal of the Subic rape case.", has been overtaken by events and is now incorrect and outdated; that needs to be corrected and the corrected info supported by a cite.  Further info probably needs to be added as it develops, supported by appropriate cites.  I don't plan on appointing myself maintainer of this article, but I'll keep looking at it from time to time. -- Boracay Bill 06:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Excuse me. Just because the 'History' section of the article is in narrative form does not mean it is "unprofessional" and "too informal". *raises an eyebrow* -^ I learned this during my creative writing class in college. The secion 'Rape in the Philippines' is quite relevant to the article, although it needs to be expanded. And yes, you are entitled to your own opinion on this talk page. I suggest for you to help improve the article instead of mere complaining. Thanks! --Weekeejames 00:19, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know what you are thanking me for.  I am not familiar enough with the case to expand it.  As an outsider looking into the topic I am able to share with the contributors an opinion that an unbiased person may consider valuable. In addition to the POV, "It all started out when..." may be ok in your creative writing class but I haven't read any encyclopedic text that uses such phrases. I am not going to change it, you may do what you wish.  Swatpig 00:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

text: It was thanking in advance should you ever contribute to help improve the article. But no thanks, I am taking it back! Bias actually is more prone, magnified twice from an outside view than from the inside. The notion of Wikipedia's being free should include the freedom to write in any writing style or form for as long as it does not violate any of Wikipedia's policies. Try doing your critiques based on the contents and context of the articles, and not based on your own POV's "encyclopedic text" or "phrases" that you believe should be used. This way, you will be more objective. Yeah try harder. --Weekeejames 02:41, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: See WP:MOS -- Boracay Bill 23:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The manual of style is great as far as technical consistency throughout the wikipedia is concerned. But, it is in itself "not rigid", "flexible", "does not demand perfection", "does not claim to be the last word...", etc. Style is just one of the many aspects in writing. Forms and other qualities are another. Back to the History subsection, the narrative form isn't necesarily subjective; Journalistic writings more often employ the narrative form! I wouldn't mind if anybody would edit it in their own flavor for as long as the facts are there and presented in an unbiased manner. I was hoping Swatpig would do it. I hope I can improve this article more, but I'm moving on to my other wiki endeavors.  --Weekeejames 04:48, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article is outdated and incomplete, and needs cites. 

message: Drawn to look at this article once again by a recent change, I happened to glance at parts unrelated to that change, and was struck by
Perhaps I am nitpicking here, but I read this as saying that Smith's companions denied that they were in the van cheering Smith on. AFAIK, this is not the case.  The charges placed against Smith's companions are unclear from the article; my understanding is that all four were charged with having committed the crime of rape, and that all four denied that they had committed that crime. I have deleted the sentence "The American servicemen denied the charges.".  It would probably be better to replace this deleted sentence with clarification of precisely what charges were denied, by whom, and on what grounds. -- Boracay Bill 01:06, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deletion of "''The American servicemen denied the charges.'''' 

message: It is still ongoing? If it's done, perhaps the article should reflect that. Shrumster 18:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The case handled by the CA is done but of course it is being appealed in the Supreme Court. We don't know if the SC will say it's moot and academic as the CA said with Smith being in the US Embassy (we don't have jurisdiction there per international laws on embassies) or will enforce Philippine jurisdiction over the accused and request the transfer of Smith back to Philippine authorities.

message: I've removed several  taggings from this article. 
* - The article is centric to the USA and to the RP. That is to be expected, given its subject matter.
* - The article is copiously referenced and I don't see any  tags in it.
* - I don't see any ongoing discussion in this talk page about the article's neutrality. -- Boracay Bill (talk) 23:49, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
