Books[edit]

I am editing out the link to Amazon for the sale of books. I agree that the books are relevant, as they are about the Black Sox Scandal which is important to any article about Buck Weaver. However, The links are not used for a citation and add nothing to the subject for an encyclopedia. There is nothing on the pages other than the book cover and title with the opportunity to purchase. The links only link to the Amazon pages where you can purchase the books. It appears to be simply an advertisement for books that is based on the related subject of the article. This does not belong on Wikipedia, as there is no substantive information given. Wikipedia is not the place to sell your book. If someone disagrees, please explain why.Failureofafriend (talk) 09:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Supposed Verdict in Favor of Shoeless Joe Jackson[edit]

In the usual case, jury verdicts must be unanimous. Therefore, the verdict could not have been 11-1. If the author contends that the applicable rules of procedure authorized less than unanimous verdicts, we need a citation for that.

Jury verdicts in criminal trials must be unanimous. A lawsuit over a breach of contract dispute would be tried in a civil court, and while standards of judgment vary from state to state, do not usually require a unanimous verdict. --65.183.139.78 (talk) 13:42, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
