Talk:John D. Voelker

message: Voelker should really be listed as "Robert Traver" instead of as "John D. Voelker" in the writer categories, but there seems to be no way to list the same article under different names in different categories.

message: See this article in today's Detroit Free Press.  Here is another link with lots of good info.  Northern Michigan University, Anatomy of a Murder.  I note particularly the photograph of Voelkler and Jimmy Stewart, which is from the Archive of Michigan.  I believe that there photos are usable, provided they are credited. You have to download them from the Archive of Michigan, of course.7&6=thirteen (talk) 15:40, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The numbers given in the following paragraph are already outdated, and will always be outdated due to the passage of time.  I think the article would be better off if the inflation numbers were removed. --Wapiti (talk) 13:32, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: the values adjusted for inflation will automatically update every year whenever the inflation data is added to the template. For example, a year ago, the templates used there would have been $322,300 and $1,742,100, respectively. Next year, when the 2014 numbers are released, the inflation values will be increased and the "in 2013" text will automatically update in the article. That gives them a modern context for readers to relate to. The figures were inserted specifically to give readers the contrast between what Voelker was making as a justice on the court versus what he was making in royalties from the book, which is especially ironic given that he said he wanted to take the job on the court in 1956 because he "needed the money".

message: Undid revision 671707724 by Michael W. Parker (talk); ellipsis was correct before hand and faithfully reproduced from source)
:Correct?  You must be kidding. Since when do ellipsis marks have 4 dots? --Wapiti (talk) 14:24, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  from Ellipsis#In English: "An ellipsis at the end of a sentence with a sentence following should be preceded by a period (for a total of four dots)." This is exactly one of those cases as the quoted matter has a sentence fragment left hanging at the end by the ellipsis. Where other style guides say to space out the dots, MOS:ELLIPSIS says not to, so the four run together. Imzadi 1979 →  14:38, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
