Please see the topic for discussion at [[Talk:Scientology#Meta-issue: Court documents and reliable sourcing]]. Thank you. [[User:AndroidCat|AndroidCat]] ([[User talk:AndroidCat|talk]]) 23:19, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

== CAN bankruptcy ==


I put the Lewis info on the CAN bankruptcy in the article, but on reflection, it doesn't make sense. The plaintiffs could and should and would have required CAN to post a [[supersedeas bond]] in the amount of the judgment before being allowed into the appeals court. Hence, when the appeal failed, the bond would have satisfied the judgment -- that is the standard in US law. What really happened?

Is it a quote, is it a copyvio, or can it be dissected as loaded language? [[User:AndroidCat|AndroidCat]] ([[User talk:AndroidCat|talk]]) 05:39, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


== External links modified ==
It wasn't a [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/verbatim verbatim] quote. These are the differences between the wordings:
*The jury, apparently '''moved by''' the details of what '''had been''' a very physical kidnapping and deprogramming '''attempt''', awarded ... (what we had)
*"The jury, apparently horrified '''by''' the details of what '''had been''' a very physical kidnapping and deprogramming '''attempt'''", awarded ... (what you [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jason_Scott_case&diff=262468701&oldid=262423597 changed] it to)
*The jury, apparently '''quite''' horrified '''at''' the details of what '''was''' a very physical kidnapping and deprogramming, awarded ... (source wording)
I suggest if we need quotation marks, we should put them around "a very physical kidnapping and deprogramming". Instead of "horrified by" or "moved by", perhaps "having learnt" or "apparently struck by" would do? Or how about "The jury, apparently struck by the very physical nature of the abduction and deprogramming attempt, awarded ..." I am open to other suggestions. As for "loaded language", note that this is not a tabloid source; both the book's editor and the author of the quoted section in it are top scholars, writing for a respected academic publisher. I am sure they would argue that they were merely describing the jury's apparent state of mind, and the details of the abduction as given in court testimony. <font color="#0000FF">[[User:Jayen466|Jayen]]</font>''<font color=" #FFBF00">[[User_Talk:Jayen466|466]]</font>'' 13:15, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


Hello fellow Wikipedians,
As for [[WP:C]], this says, "Note that copyright law governs the creative expression of ideas, not the ideas or information themselves. Therefore, it is legal to read an encyclopedia article or other work, reformulate the concepts in your own words, and submit it to Wikipedia. However, it would still be unethical (but not illegal) to do so without citing the original as a reference. See [[plagiarism]] and [[fair use]] for discussions of how much reformulation is necessary in a general context." I could not find anything definite under [[plagiarism]] and [[fair use]] to indicate how much reformulation is necessary; I thought as long as there weren't more than four or five words in succession taken verbatim from a source, i.e. as long as it was clear that there had been no copy-and-pasting of whole intact sentences, we were okay. If you are aware of a policy page that gives more detailed guidance in this regard, please let me know, so I can read up on it.

== "Nontraditional religions" vs "cults" ==

Replaced the word "cults" in the second paragraph with "nontraditional religions" because that phrasing is a more neutral point of view [[User:Ema Zee|Ema Zee]] ([[User talk:Ema Zee|talk]]) 19:54, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

The unanimous verdict

[edit]

The unanimous verdict of the jury in the criminal trial for Ross was "not guilty."

The court record and numerous news reports such as the Phoenix New Times demonstrates this.
