[edit] Substandard to say the least.

There ar NO references, just a number of assertions. The neutrality is questioned; by who? We are refered to the discussion on the talk page, but there is no discussion on the talk page. This is by far he worst article I have seen here. Too Old (talk) 04:35, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

  • "He became a bank robber and was known for aggressively taking hostages." Who says so? Any official records?
  • "By 1935, he was arrested at age 17 and charged with killing a man." Was he convicted of homicide? Official record?
  • After spending time in prisons in Washington state, he was sent to the federal prison on Alcatraz Island." Which prisons? State or federal? On what charge? Why transferred?
  • …but they were back in the prison general population within months" This surely deserves a citation, since it is the primary point of the film, and is contested by the article.
  • "But all of these movie 'facts' are wrong." Maybe they are, but we deserve citations from primary sources.

This concerns POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 22:00, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
