[edit] Photo

The photo of Ms. Ore should be in the article itself.

Ideally, yes, but I have no reason to believe that it's in the public domain. Someone could contact the Times Leader and ask them to release it under the GFDL. Useful material is available at Wikipedia:Boilerplate request for permission. I'd like to have the photo in, but, frankly, it's not important enough to me that I'm motivated to do the necessary work. That's why I included a link instead. JamesMLane 21:38, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

I have uploaded the picture. See the picture's page for more information. Name Not Needed 19:31, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Date of Birth

In the actual Washington, D.C. police report cited in the article (and reported upon in Pennsylvania newspapers), the woman's date of birth is recorded as May 13, 1976. Her age has been widely reported in the press, including in this Scranton Times-Tribune newspaper article. The court documents reproduced on the Web site of the same newspaper provide a source for this and several other facts.

[edit] Article deleted

I have deleted this article, after an OTRS complaint, as it seriously and irredeemably violated out policy on living person biographies. The article contained many disparaging allegations and not one reliable citation. It mentioned the Times - but the only evidence from that was a link to a politically motivated website.

If editors with to rebuild the article, they are free to do so, but please review WP:BLP and ensure any new addition conforms scrupulously to it. (Perhaps also consider whether the subject is notable in any case.)--Doc 22:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Date of birth (again)

False Information--Incorrect Date of Birth, Citation Needed and Wrong Citations —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.249.117.165 (talk • contribs) 03:36, 2 March 2007

Last year an anon said that Ore's date of birth was in the police report, but I've been unable to find a copy of that report online. Numerous stories do, however, say that she was 29 in 2005, so we can reasonably go with "circa 1976" until we get a better citation. JamesMLane t c 19:25, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Another editor has changed this to "1970s". Given the multiple sources stating that she was 29 in 2005, I think "c.1976" is perfectly accurate (it can't be more than one year off, which is within the bounds of "circa") and more informative. In the revised version, those press reports are cited later on, anyway, so what do we gain by changing to "1970s"? JamesMLane t c 11:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
