Merged content of 'Dealey Plaza grassy knoll' to here. Much of the 'grassy knoll' article content relies on or is aided by the Dealey Plaza content being on the same page for context. Skybunny 00:50, 30 May 2004 (UTC)
As of November 2003, investigations and scientific testing and recreations into the circumstances of John F. Kennedy's death have not settled the question of who killed him. Looking at the three most recent 2003 polls directly implies this. An "ABC tv news" poll reflected that just 32 percent (plus or minus 3 percent) of Americans believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of John F. Kennedy, while 68 percent do not believe Oswald acted alone. [1] The "Discovery Channel" poll reveals that only 21% believe Oswald acted alone, while 79% do not believe Oswald acted alone. [2] The "History Channel" poll details that only 17% of individuals believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of John F. Kennedy, while 83 percent do not believe Oswald acted alone. [3]
This is the poll info I removed. I have no objection to its content or presentation, but I don't think that the Dealey Plaza entry is the proper place for it. I've preserved it in case someone wants to stick it in John F. Kennedy assassination or some other appropriate entry. Gamaliel 17:50, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] "North Grassy Knoll"
Is this how it should be termed in the article? I have never heard it called anything but the "Grassy Knoll"; I don't even particularly remember there being another one in Dealy Plaza, and if there is I've never heard it related to the assassination in any way. Is this an attempt to disambiguate something that wasn't ever really ambiguous? I'm leaving it for now but think it needs to be discussed as a minimum.

[edit] Going to Dealey
Hey I'll be heading to DP early next month to see this place where history was made with my own eyes. Is there anything special I should not miss while in Dallas vis a vis the JFK assasination?Ramsquire 22:56, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Grassy Knoll
I redirected the page grassy knoll to this page because that article and the section of this article called "Grassy Knoll" were identical. Also, the links on that page are included in this article as well. No need for it to have it's own page. --The_stuart 19:00, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV stuff
I have a problem with the subsequent edits to my inclusion of additional information on the Dictabelt recording originally alleged to be of gunshots of the JFK assassination. You removed the cruicial information that the crosstalk heard on the recording proved that the recording had been made a minute after the assassination, probably because that so completely undermines the claim that the recording contains gunshots that the conspiracy buffs' claims must simply fail.
I understand the Wiki NPOV policy. However, there are some topics, and the JFK assassination is one of them, where some people will never agree with conclusively proven neutral facts because they totally undermine their preconceived points of view. Unless you can seriously question the factual statement that the tape crosstalk exists and proves that the recording was made a minute after the assassination, I challenge your removal of this information.

- Your original edit was "over the top" without enough foundation. What you have added now gives more foundation for your claims of being proven - though a source more official than "an amateur..." would be much better for a claim of proven. This detail should be in the House Select Committee on Assassinations article -- and this whole discussion belongs more there than here. Perhaps there should also be an article on Dealey Plaza Dictabelt.

There is: Dictabelt evidence relating to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, though I've thought about folding that into the HSCA article. Gamaliel 18:55, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I think folding these articles together would be a good idea. There's a lot of redundant info spread across those articles now. --User:Karn 24 Dec 2004
- The detail that was most convincingly a "disproof" of Dictabelt being good evidence is nowhere to be seen anymore.--JimWae 17:48, 2004 Dec 24 (UTC)
[edit] Discordianism?
Discordians "claim" (as much as a Discordiam claim anything, anyway) that Dealey Plaza is the home of the Dealey Lama, the head of the Erisian Liberation Front (ELF). This plays into certain plotlines in the Illuminatus! trilogy. Is this worth noting in the article anywhere? --Master Forcide 06:35, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
