Can anyone verify this latest entry (the FBI note?) --Magicker71 17:43, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)

With Wikipedia user Gamaliel repeatedly deleting the freely available, documented, and printed Warren Commission reference (Warren Commission Document, CD87) of Abraham Zapruder sensing a shot come from behind Mr. Zapruder during the assassination, it is transparent that Gamaliel is more interested in hiding and censoring a Warren Commissioned documented reference than he is in presenting a documented fact. 205.188.116.11 22:22, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

It's quite simple and it has nothing to do with the Warren Commission or censorship. Wikipedia is not the place to present the full text of memos. Wikisource is. This is an encyclopedia, and we don't present primary sources here.

[edit] Pop culture

Three of the four entries were not about Zapruder, they were about his film, and the fourth, the Marilyn Manson one, is too trivial to really mention. We don't need to mention every time a song's lyrics mention someone. --Golbez 07:21, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay, good argument, and I've moved them. But instead of just deleting them, you could have moved them yourself. Don't just delete on Wikipedia. That's lazy and ultimately destructive. Do not delete-- improve. Our motto. If it's in the wrong place, fix it. SBHarris 09:40, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
I will delete trivia I see as unuseful, especially when it's in the wrong article. I am not destroying, I am sprucing. Once a bit of useless trivia is on Wikipedia, it does not get to live there for eternity. --Golbez 16:57, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
