I wondered why the original author of this page, who was Kathryn Tucker herself, made so many factual misrepresentations. The most bothersome thing was that she reversed the order of the plaintiffs and the defendants in the cases she cited. For example, instead of citing Washington v. Glucksberg, the actual name of the case, she had it reversed, Glucksberg v. Washinton, which is wrong. I wondered why she did this. Certainly she must have realized it was wrong. I am new to editing Wikipedia and didn't understand how to do the linkages at first. Of course I figured it out finally, and realized that she did not really want the case to be linked because the Wikipedia page did not agree with her description of events, and if she cited the case correctly it would show up with the real page, Washington v. Glucksberg, and the reader would quickly realize the "misstatement", by reading the actual facts of the case. Apparently this was too inconvenient for her. This is pretty sneaky and dishonest in my opinion.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffgolin (talkcontribs) 04:49, 29 November 2008



Hemlock Society

[edit]

I removed the proposed deletion template from Compassion & Choices and reverted it back to its original redirect to Hemlock Society. The proper place to write about the predecessor organizations to Compassion & Choices is in that article, in a section titled Predecessor Organizations or in two sections, one called Compassion in Dying and End-of-Life Choices. In that section, you can discuss the former organization known as Compassion in Dying, including its former name, Hemlock Society. If you have over a thousand words of encyclopedic content on the End-of-Life Choices organization, you should face no opposition in your proposal to split it off.

Once there is enough material there to warrant an article, you can open a proposal to split off this content to its own article. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 21:01, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Washington v. Glucksberg

[edit]

The previous edits correctly fixed the Washington v. Glucksberg label. Edits also linked appropriately to the Wash. v Glucksberg page. Both of those were left as is. However, I removed other significant edits that contained one-sided information/opinion that did not add to the factual data of this article. Specifically, a description of the Glucksberg case, which should be done at the Washington v. Glucksberg article. I also removed the Hemlock Society reference as the predecessor to Compassion and Choices. The appropriate place to write about a predecessor organization is in the article referencing the organization, in the "Predecessor Organizations" section. I also removed references to Lee v. Oregon, a case that Tucker never participated with.Carlaaxtman (talk) 18:12, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Neon sign

[edit]

I made a significant edition of this page, in some ways reflecting previous comments, which I tried to fix. The lack of citations is in some part due to the source as myself as a neon expert with personal hands on experience in a solo shop for 12 years after education in physics and an engineering career, so this is really a hands-on edit.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffgolin (talkcontribs) 22:34, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
