This Kind Of Punishment

Hey, nice to know someone else appreciates it. I was planning on spending the evening working on similar articles (see Peter Jefferies for example), but I think my girlfriend is about to drag me off to a party. Cnwb 10:42, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Felony Murder Doctrine

Hi. When you create a redirect you need to see where it's going to go. In this case "Felony Murder Doctrine" went to "Felony murder doctrine" which was also a redirect. That's a double redirect and doesn't work. What you needed to do was make the redirect go right to "Felony murder". Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 11:28, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry 'bout that. I looked at "Felony murder doctrine" and found it to be a real page - but I had looked carelessly; of course, it was the "Felony murder" page that I was seeing, as produced by the redirect. I realized the error a minute or so later, but by then, you'd corrected it. Thanks. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 11:31, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I note you tagged the page with a general "attention" tag. Could you please be more specific? Thanks. Robert A West 11:43, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

added some notes on what needs to be put in. I wish I was a lawyer, because it seems like wikipedia's "murder" and "homicide" pages lack a lot of info Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 11:57, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. IANAL, but I do contribute to legal topics -- my theory is that non-specialist input often avoids turgid prose. I will take a crack next weekend -- too little time now, but feel free to try. In the meantime, feel free.

I suspect that the reason third-degree murder is not discussed much is that it is a relatively recent innovation, and rules differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, depraved indifference murder is second-degree in New York, but not IIRC in Florida, and some states didn't recognize the concept last time I checked. Felony murder used to be first-degree almost everywhere, but I think that has changed as well. Translation, I need to hit the library.

BTW, please be sure to add your ~~~~ to any comments you put on a talk page. Robert A.West | Talk 12:08, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Great, it'll be nice to fix up some of the law pages here. I'll do some research to try to figure out how to fix/add whatever can be fixed/added without a need for expertise. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 12:15, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Your Userpage

Hmm, looks familiar. Oh, wait, it's my userpage (w/some alterations as you said). Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Also, I just realized that I never answered your question you left on my talkpage. If you are looking for something to sign up on, try this. The Ungovernable Force 05:53, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Phobias

Sure. Just noticed that they seemed like definitions when i was stub sorting. would be very interested in learning more about them, though! ConDem 05:48, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
