message: I am not positive the blog at roadoflife.blogspot.com is truly by Jessica McClure. There are several reasonable links to the blog, and the content looks legitimate. One resource to double check is the Museum of Web Hoaxes, which apparently had something to say about this blog. Unfortunately that site is offline at this time, I will try to follow up later.

replies: text: I think people back then had a little more sense and didn't go off the deep end with lawsuits and formal inquiries every time a parent had a minor lapse in judgement. Accidents are inevitable. Trying to send someone to jail or bankrupt them everytime they occur accomplishes nothing at all, and just ends up hurting families and costing money.

replies: text: Yeah, and whoever did the well-wishers comment - brilliant. No mention of the historic fake nude photos of her a couple years back? Oh well. Tarkaan 23:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed the 'cultural references' section as none of them were cited and most had nothing more than a passing relationship to the article. --Chuck Sirloin 03:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Broke/bad link 

message: I have removed the reference to her husband being an "ex-convict" for two reasons. First, I do not know what that is. Once one is convicted, one is always a convict, even if no longer incarcerated. :)
More importantly, how is his history relevant to the facts of her life that make her worthy of a Wikipedia entry? Freesafetyblitz (talk) 21:20, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Robert O'Donnell into this article. Anything notable that can be said about him is already in this article. Do we need a permanent stub? --Elliskev 18:41, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: OK. Since there were no objections, I have merged and redirected. --Elliskev 19:38, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Under WP:BLP1E, shouldn't this article be about the "incident" rather than McClure? Yes, McClure was (to all intents and purposes) the only person involved, but it was the event that is notable. It seems, surprisingly, that we have very little on the actual event – most of the article is either the media coverage or the aftermath. matt (talk) 12:05, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it should. To broaden the umbrella a bit, it should probably be renamed "Jesse McClure incident" or something like that. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 13:05, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing 

message: CNN may have been on the scene but I don't respect seeing them referred to as a fledgling cable news outlet. They had already earned their chops more than a year and a half earlier. Their cameras were the only ones to record the Challenger explosion for commercial media. (Of course, NASA had cameras.) Through Challenger, CNN went from near-obscurity and derision ("Chicken Noodle News") to a major player.
On the other side of the coin, CNN wasn't shouldering the coverage alone. At least three Midland, Texas, TV stations had crews on-scene and were uplinking practically continuous video feeds. In fact, CNN's coverage may have been from these satellite feeds. I know all about them; I watched them directly with my backyard dish. Wikipedia's rule against original research prohibits my placing that info in the article, which is why I'm saying it here. Make of it what you will. Kind regards to all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.6.137.136 (talk) 00:45, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

message: I found this poignant article about Robert O'Donnell's tragic suicide.  Would it be appropriate to mention it somewhere on this page?  Perhaps under "See also" or External Links?

message: It would be good if someone could add photos from the rescue efforts -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 08:57, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photos from the rescue 

message: The article starts by discussing the rescue itself.  There should be some "background" coverage (i.e., details on how she fell into the well).  This case was a big deal in the media.  There must be some info out there on how she actually fell into the well.     Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 02:22, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
