Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted because... (your reason here) --Raprchju (talk) 02:37, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I copied and pasted info from the official government website, thinking it was text, but was not aware that it was an image. I removed any copyrighted info and re-typed the info and cited the website.

Day of death

I was reading articles, and a lot of them didn’t specify what day he died.

However, there’s an article from Law 360 that says he did indeed die on Monday.

https://www.law360.com/massachusetts/articles/1310010

Is this a reliable source to use instead of WCVB? MikaelaArsenault (talk) 21:30, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Law360 is owned by LexisNexus, which is a trusted source in the legal community. I believe that the citation would be valid (see this link for information on law360, https://www.law360.com/Law360-Fact-Sheet.pdf), however, it is also one where additional citations could be made to support that Monday was the day of his death. One source in particular is the Massachusetts Supreme Court who issued a press release on Monday announcing his death. See https://www.mass.gov/news/statement-by-the-associate-justices-of-the-supreme-judicial-court-regarding-chief-justice. Jurisdicta (talk) 18:07, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
