Talk:West Memphis, Arkansas

message: Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.
The West Memphis 3 are NOT a significant part of West Memphis history. Cities all over America have horrible crimes (ie Ted Bundy, the Boston Strangler) but they do not show up as a part of the cities history. Look up Boston in Wikipedia...no mention of any particular crime...no mention of the Boston Stranguler! The West Memphis 3 might have a right to their own listing as a crime and as a seperate Wikipedia listing, but does not have anything to do with West Memphis as a city, these types of crime could and do happen anywhere...but the event had nothing to do with West Memphis as a city. The city had no bearing on the crime, only as a location.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calldale725 (talk • contribs) 16:09, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

message: :Image:West memphis ar seal.GIF is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: Hello, I have reverted all edits by User:Bryantparnell142 since Dec. 22, 2008. Usually, I try and save what is useful in an edit, if possible. In this case I have reverted all edits and restored the version of Dec. 22, 2008 by User:Lightmouse. (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=West_Memphis,_Arkansas&oldid=259540576)
My reasons are:
:1 - Additions to history were copy/paste from the West Memphis Chamber of Commerce. ()
:2 - West Memphis 3 were copy/paste from Wiki article. As per discussion above the material is covered in depth in the West Memphis 3 article and mentioned shortly in the West Memphis article. The proper way to go.
:3 - Sourced material in the history section was deleted including references for the information.
:4 - Copyrighted images and very low quality images were introduced for the flag and seal of West Memphis.
:5 - Facts were changed blatantly. The exact census population of 2000 (27,666) was changed to a rounded figure (30,000) in the infobox.
Please do not simply re-add the information in question without discussing it on this talkpage first. If you need help with your edits or are unsure how to appropriately add new information to Wikipedia or how existing copyrights might might have effects on your edits, please feel free to let me know.

message: WHY IS THERE NO MENTION AT ALL OF THE WEST MEMPHIS 3
ridiculous, and yet another glaring example of why wikipedia is not a real reference tool
omission of facts is heinous  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.228.46.228 (talk) 14:12, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

message: The paragraph about the "West Memphis Three" should be removed from the lead section and placed elsewhere in the article.  There seemed to be consensus about this 5 years ago (see above), and then User:Larrywalter moved it back into the lead section on Oct. 1, 2012.  Any problem moving out of the lead and elsewhere in the article?  Magnolia677 (talk) 22:53, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
