BLP issues

The article contains several unsourced statements inappropriate for a BLP and needs to be pruned by someone familiar with this kind of material. --Randykitty (talk) 12:26, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

What are you talking about? It is VERY well sourced. A mild article.Finkellium (talk) 15:23, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

  • It contains unsourced statements that don't belong in a BLP (like "one of her many lovers"). --Randykitty (talk) 16:09, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
    • You clearly didn't read the sources- you need to read them all. The entire point of her case is that they went after her because she had a lot of boyfriends not because there was any evidence. The many lovers are mentioned in every article that is sourced below. Please don't think, just read. Finkellium (talk) 15:12, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
      • Funny when you're trying to write an encyclopedia to be admonished "don't think"... Some of those sources are just blogs and should be thrown out, they cannot be used to source a biography of a living person. The whole article needs an overhaul. To mention just one issue: The lead starts with "Alice Crimmins is an American murderess suspected in the 1960s double murder trial of her two children". Apart from the poor grammar ("suspected in a trial"?), if she's only "suspected", we shouldn't call her a "murderess". If she's a "murderess", then we shouldn't say that she was just suspected. I've posted a note on the BLP Noticeboard asking for assistance from some more experienced editors. --Randykitty (talk) 15:42, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
    • I've got a better idea. Since you are a genius editor, rewrite it yourself. Easy.  !Finkellium (talk) 07:22, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
