This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

"James Crumley". The Telegraph. 2008-09-23. Archived from the original on 2008-09-23. {{cite news}}: |archive-date= / |archive-url= timestamp mismatch; 2008-09-25 suggested (help)

"website" vs. "Web site"[edit]

According to the OED at http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/usage/website?view=uk "website" is the standard form, and not "Web site".

"Tax resistors" category[edit]

I've once again removed the category of "Tax resistors" from this article. If Crumley is a tax resistor, that's a significant fact which should be included in the article, along with a citation for proof (in accordance with Wikipedia policy concerning liable and living people). Without such a citation, the inclusion of the "Tax resistors" catgory is not supported.

Please do not put this category back without providing some proof of this claim. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) (talk/cont) 07:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The citation is (and was, before and after your last reversion) in paragraph #5 of the body text. -Moorlock 15:33, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks you, my apologies. I didn't recall it being there, and I didn't see it on a quick read. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) (talk/cont) 22:58, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Crumley death[edit]

I've included a reference with a link to a newspaper account of James Crumley's death but it needs to be edited with a note that this page may be further updated as the author has recently died. Thanks in advance for help on this! SarahWeinman 09:05, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Telegraph rip-off[edit]

This article in the (UK) Telegraph is almost entirely a rip off from the Wikipedia article, straightforward uncredited plagiarism. Ed Fitzgerald ^{t / c} 06:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I asked on the Admin noticeboard, I'll ask here again - please specify a version. The Telegraph refutes the plagiarism allegation and has challenged me to come up with copied sections. I am aware the telegraph article was pulled, I have the saved text here and would appreciate some assistance if anyone cares to pursue this. --Brian McNeil /^talk 14:27, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that these two back-to-back versions are the likely sources: [1] and [2]. I say this because the first still has the Bradbury info in the lede (by the second I had moved it down into the body of the article), while the second has the description of Crumley's father as an "oil-field supervisor", which is not in the first. However, since that information itself came from another obit, it's not definitive - but in the second, I had removed the language about Whores and Muddy Fork from the lede, and that stuff appeared in the Telegraph article. Ed Fitzgerald ^{t / c} 19:38, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So they "refute" the allegations, and yet they pulled the article? Mixed signals. Ed Fitzgerald ^{t / c} 19:40, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'contest' might be a better word, but they pulled the obit as soon as the allegation was made. Please give me an email address to send the original telegraph obit to for analysis, the NUJ is currently also investigating this. --Brian McNeil /^talk 10:06, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brian: I've contacted you via your WN address. Ed Fitzgerald ^{t / c} 17:56, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thankfully, we have archive.org to depend on; I also added a parameter to {{Online source}} to support using an archive link. Disavian (talk) 23:38, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
