MAD Magazine song parody case?

[edit]

Will someone add something about this trial? I saw something about it on the "Make 'Em Laugh" documentary. Sjb0926 (talk) 05:17, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Sjb0926: will you contact me? I'm his great-niece. I never even heard about this parody and would love to see/hear more. I don't know how to use this wiki thing and everytime I click on your name it leaves me nowhere. I guess leave message here? Afirstgirl Afirstgirl (talk) 06:49, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a link to the relavant Wikipedia article. Raul654 (talk) 00:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bot-created subpage

[edit]

A temporary subpage at User:Polbot/fjc/Irving Robert Kaufman was automatically created by a perl script, based on this article at the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges. The subpage should either be merged into this article, or moved and disambiguated. Polbot (talk) 02:14, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quote in footnote removed

[edit]

It is common, in some places, to use a footnote to add a colorful anecdote, or additional explanatory material, not fitting into the flow of the main document. That practice is generally not encouraged in Wikipedia, as far as I can tell. I posed the question here. While the full community has obviously not weighed in, the consensus appears to me that quotes should be revered for two related classes of use:

  1. In a case where there may be controversy about a particular fact, and whether the cited reference supports that fact, the use of the quote will make it easier for readers and editors to reach their own conclusion, by citing the specific quote used to support the fact. This is particularly important where a reference may be not online, or behind a pay wall.
  2. When an opinion is paraphrased, the quote will help readers and editors determine whether the paraphrase is accurate.

This article did have a quote in a footnote, and it is my opinion that the quote does not support either use listed above, thus I have removed it, or truncated it. Should anyone disagree, or feel that there are other examples of allowable quotes, feel free to start a discussion. I suggest here, if you disagree with my conclusion that this quote doesn't fall into one of those two examples, or at Wikipedia_talk:Non-free_content#.22brief_verbatim_textual_excerpts.22_revisited if you feel there should be other allowed uses. --SPhilbrick(Talk) 21:06, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
