Oswald midnight press conference

I cannot edit Oswald article as it’s locked, hence why I requested.

I think Oswald’s reaction at the midnight press conference as written by Bugliosi is pertininent, and WP:NPOV requires that we present various sides of a story, if there are good sources. Bugliosi is an excellent source, and I see no problems with his book cited in the “Arrest at the Texas Theatre” lines, like how it is cited in the “interrogation” section.

The sentence that could be rewritten is this:

“Later, at an arranged press meeting, a reporter asked, "Did you kill the President?" and Oswald – who by that time had been advised of the charge of murdering Tippit, but had not yet been arraigned in Kennedy's death – answered, his voice breaking, "No, I have not been charged with that. In fact, nobody has said that to me yet. The first thing I heard about it was when the newspaper reporters in the hall asked me that question." A reporter informed Oswald that he had been charged. Oswald reacted with a look of dismay.

If you can’t see the quote, it’s also on the “parkland” book. 62.254.10.103 (talk) 18:44, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

LHO ARTICLE

Wonder if you can fix this minor goof on the Lee Harvey Oswald page: the article says that Oswald told Holmes he was “working on an upper floor when the shooting occurred, then went downstairs”. Looking though Harry Holmes testimony, especially on page 306, it is clear what Holmes meant where Oswald said he encountered the officer:

...as I started to go out and see what it was all about, a police officer stopped me just before I got to the front door, and started to ask me some questions... Mr. BELIN. By the way, where did this policeman stop him when he was coming down the stairs at the Book Depository on the day of the shooting? Mr. HOLMES. He said it was in the vestibule. Mr. BELIN. He said he was in the vestibule? Mr. HOLMES. Or approaching the door to the vestibule. He was just coming, apparently, and I have never been in there myself. Apparently there is two sets of doors, and he had come out to this front part. Mr. BELIN. Did he state it was on what floor? Mr. HOLMES. First floor. The front entrance to the first floor. Mr. BELIN. Did he say anything about a Coca Cola or anything like that, if you remember? Mr. HOLMES. Seems like he said he was drinking a Coca Cola, standing there by the Coca Cola machine drinking a Coca Cola.

Based on this, I think the paragraph regarding Holmes on the “Police interrogation” section should be reflected to say “Holmes (who attended the interrogation at the invitation of Captain Will Fritz) said that Oswald replied that he was at the “front entrance to the first floor” when he encountered a policeman.”62.254.68.5 (talk) 08:20, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Oswald says, somewhat confused, looking at the reporter kneeling in front of him. "You have been charged," the reporter repeats. Oswald purses his lips, than a look of astonishment crosses his face, but he says nothing."

One need only look at the history of reverts to see this administrator's bias. BrandonTRA (talk) 19:04, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

See WP:NOTTHEM. I've examined your edit history, which is rife with edit warring and a belligerent attitude. I think that you were fortunate to be only blocked from a single article and only for a week. It's not your views that are the problem. 331dot (talk) 19:10, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

You're harassing 331dot. Stop it. People who spend significant time reviewing unblock requests do not deserve to be treated like this. If it continues, your partial block will be converted to an indefinite sitewide block. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:49, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
