Jack Ruby Shoots Lee Harvey Oswald

... that six-tenths of a second is one reason a photograph (pictured) won a Pulitzer Prize? Source: The sudden movement provoked Mr. Jackson, six-tenths of a second later, to snap the shutter. "The reason Beers shot too soon, in comparison to me," says Mr. Jackson, "is that he saw it easier and quicker than I did. Ruby was more in his vision. and Six-tenths of a second, in fact, is precisely the difference in the timing of two great photographs taken of the event, one by Dallas Times Herald photographer Robert H. “Bob” Jackson,, and the other by the late Ira Jefferson “Jack” Beers of the Dallas Morning News.
- ALT1: ... that a 1963 photograph (pictured) captured the exact moment when Lee Harvey Oswald was shot? Source: I had snapped a picture of the actual shooting. and Back at the newspaper he saw his picture and knew immediately he got it, he captured what had happened perfectly. Jack Ruby, the shooter, holding up the gun. Oswald, impacted by the bullet, screaming in pain. And Dallas Police Detective Jim Leavelle, reacting to it all.
- ALT2: ... that a photographer captured the exact moment when Jack Ruby Shoots Lee Harvey Oswald (pictured)? Source: see above

Created by Bruxton (talk). Self-nominated at 04:38, 29 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Jack Ruby Shoots Lee Harvey Oswald; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article is new and long enough (created 28 Jan, RPS 4548 B). Sourcing looks good, hooks are interesting (I prefer ALT0, and I recommend adding a link to Pulitzer Prize) and cited. Earwig is a little higher than normal but basically all flagged portions are direct quotes that are cited and attributed in the article. QPQ done. All good.

Iowa?

Why is the category « 1963 in Iowa » on this article? I’ve read the article and unless I missed it, I didn’t see any Iowa connection? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 01:00, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr Serjeant Buzfuz: Thank you for the note. I am unsure why that category was in the article so I changed it to 1963 in Texas. Bruxton (talk) 16:48, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
