[edit] Technical Issues

I tried to edit this page a little bit and add a citation, but it appeared to removed quite a bit of of the article. I checked the history and there weren't any concurrent edits, so I was a bit confused. I tried to undo my previous edit (twice, and both times in the editing page I could see the missing parts) but at this point I have no idea what the problem is. I really hope someone else can fix this problem, or let me know if I'm just having problems viewing the page for some reason. thanks --Hisownspace (talk) 10:34, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BLP Issues

I have removed allegations about what the FBI claimed McDavid said at the Crimethinc. convergence because the claims were not supported by reliable sources. Skomorokh ^incite 16:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

This claim is now reliably sourced. скоморохъ 03:39, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ELF?

I'm kind of confused about what to do here, as the one NEWS10 article clearly states that this was the first ELF related prosecution in the US, but the Sacramento Bee clearly states that the group had not decided whether or not to claim the ELF moniker for their potential actions. Anyone got an opinion on that? Murderbike (talk) 22:58, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

When in doubt, note both. If something more reliable turns up in the future, you can defer to it.--Cast (talk) 23:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Ditto Cast. We should just include "X says A, while Y says B". скоморохъ 23:51, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Clarity

The pronoun "he" in the second sentence, of the second section, Previous Activism, is vague, and needs to specify whether it refers to McDavid or the FBI informant. Tracymacl (talk) 19:54, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
