Garlasco leaves HRW

I don't have time to put this in the article, but someone should. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 21:04, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Aftermath

About the aftermath section, we are now using an op-ed to call a living person "an obsessive collector of Nazi memorabilia". And doing this to attack HRW and Goldtsone. If this person's opinion on the accuracy of the HRW report or the Goldstone report is really that important, it can go in another article. I dont even care whether or not WP:BLP allows for using op-eds in this way, we shouldnt do it on either "side". If we are going to even pretend that Misplaced Pages is a serious source we cant be using op-eds to pile shit on living people. The quote is only tangentially related to a biography of Garlasco, which is what this article is supposed to be. Even if it should be included, there is no reason to include such a long quote from a single persons opinion piece. nableezy - 06:08, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. The quote didn't seem to add anything of substance. Fletcher (talk) 12:22, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
