[edit] Kent state photo

I think if you want to add the altered photo you need to have some sourced explanation of its significance. It is not self-evident. Tvoz |talk 09:52, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I mean that I think you need to have sources who confirm that the the altered photo was used and mostly sources that talk about why this is significant - on its own, just the pictures don't give enough information. And you need reliable, verifiable sources - articles written about it if there are any - that explain why this is a significant point, what the missing pole suggests, etc - not your opinion (even if it is valid) - but what independent, reliable sources have said about its significance. Otherwise it's original research or it's just a doctored photo with no context and therefore no notability. I'm not saying whether it should be in the article - anything that sheds light on Kent State and informs people about it in a balanced and thorough way should be there in my opinion - but I am saying that it needs to have a well-sourced explanation. Tvoz |talk 16:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Also, please see my comment here on Knulclunk's Talk page. Tvoz |talk 16:38, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
To get all the talk in one place. Your initial entry implied that the altered photo first appeared in 1995, which conflicted with the entry on the John Filo page. The new entry, both sourced and having examples is much better. Notice that the Filo page places the alteration at the Time-Life library and the revelation in 1995.
I agree with Tvoz, articles addressing why the alteration of the photograph is significant to Kent State or its aftermath would be useful.--Knulclunk 22:55, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
It's relevant and notable in these days more and more emphasis is put on photo manipulation such as the Adnan Hajj photographs controversy and while we brush it off as a Soviet or Lebanese thing that's not true as history has shown us with the altered Filo shot. It's even more relevant because at Kent State a fence was put up to stop students from demonstrating by airbrushing the fence pole you remove that fact. -- AperfectHell 03:44, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Do you have a source about the fence? If that is true, it might imply some reason for the airbrushing beyond taking the pole out of her head, and if that is sourced, that would be notable and of interest. Of course I know why altered photos are important - my point is only that to just include it in this article, without some context and explanation of why it is notable to this article, might not work. In an article about altered photos - which I haven't looked, but there could be one - absolutely it should be included. And if you have NPOV sources talking about this manipulation in context, great. But this is not an article about the photo, it's an article about the murders, and so I'd want to see some connection drawn to the events of May 4. This is just my opinion, of course.

Maybe we should try to have the whole discussion here. Tvoz |talk 04:17, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed change to "birth year and age" template

Hi, I've proposed a change to your excellent birth year and age template, which I think would give it more widespread use. Please see the talk page if you have any comments. -- TJRC (talk) 20:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

There was some support and no opposition, so I've now made the change. --TJRC (talk) 00:08, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
