[edit] NPOV

All the articles that have been used as references for this article seem to be from the families side of the event. I feel the article is now written from one viewpoint, unfortunately the other side of the argument was not properly reported (Media beat up against mercury energy) so may not be easy to find to reference.

I agree that the tone of the article has changed. But before the article was suffering due to weasel words ("many people have pointed"), POV language ("sadly") and in general lacked detail. I also agree that there needs to be something related to how the media reacted to the case, which as you've stated could be difficult to reference. We may need to wait a few weeks for the dust to settle, and the recaps to begin. Also the release of the results of the police investigation will be helpful. I think Wikipedia is important for these sorts of rapidly changing news stories where often an overview of the story is hard to get from the news media. Especially in cases like this where new facts are emerging every day. The same thing happened with the Kahui twins. Evil Monkey - Hello 09:15, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. The article has certainly been improved with the re write, and hopefully when the details of the police investigaton are released the article can be pulled back into balance. Leaderofearth 09:21, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
