Overly detailed

[edit]

This article could easily be trimmed by half. It goes into unencyclopedic and exhaustive detail, which clearly isn't necessary to explain this for readers. Only a very small audience will be interested in where a cop was at which point, for instance. It would be a stronger article that people would actually read. --Dhartung | Talk 11:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, as this was the largest hostage crisis ever in North America, it deserves the detail. Coolgamer 18:45, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If no one else disagrees, I'll add the deleted info in question back into the article later on. During a record-setting hostage crisis, I strongly feel details of the operation are encyclopedic. Coolgamer 23:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I too appreciate the detail in this article, but of course I don't trust Wikipedia; more citations are needed. --Henry W. Schmitt (talk) 02:42, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
More detail is always good, if its properly cited. --Banime (talk) 16:31, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who did this research? How was it verified? A family member was present at this event and I know of no one that actually has talked with him about his experiences. Or was this literature from presentations made to the law enforcement community?

Most of it is direct from law enforcement videos of the event and diagrams of the layout and planning of the raid. Coolgamer (talk) 18:52, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rifle Used

[edit]

Youtube pulled footage.

[edit]

I still have copies, however. Where should I host them to link to on this article for historic record? Coolgamer (talk) 18:49, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Interpreters

[edit]

I well remember the local TV coverage, and the difficulty of communication faced by the negotiators. The hostage takers were said not to speak English, and the translator used by the sheriff claimed they spoke an unfamiliar dialect. I always hoped further information on the breakdown would eventually come to light. Sparafucil (talk) 22:16, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Footage of the event was included in the 1981 Japanese–American documentary and mondo film The Killing of America."

[edit]

How was something that occurred in 1991 included in a documentary from 1981? 2600:1700:3040:7D90:18D6:2B4B:47FC:477B (talk) 20:06, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious vandalism. Deleted. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 20:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, possibly not vandalism but instead a typo. However, the destination article makes no mention of this incident, and I'm uninterested in trying to determine whether it's true or not. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 20:12, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
