Jim Leavelle
It didn't make sense that this sentence gave no reason for appearing in Leavelle's article and it *really* didn't make sense that the first paragraph here doesn't mention why Leavelle remains a widely-remembered figure in the Kennedy assassination storyTags: Mobile editMobile web edit

The vowel-dependent "an" before a word starting with H is only supposed to be used when that H is silent, as in honor and hour. The H in hotel is decidedly not silentTags: Mobile editMobile web edit

Cambie Surgeries Corporation v British Columbia
→See also: Supposed to be italics. I really want to emphasize what I said earlier so for the people in the back: Anyone who doesn't take the time to ensure their work is coherent, high-quality, and in line with policy and accordingly ends up leaving messes like this is a person doing measurable damage to this website. Such users, per

Cambie Surgeries Corporation v British Columbia
Cleanup underway. Adding a citation anywhere but the end of a sentence is, almost every time, a bad idea. [And you absolutely are not required to add cites immediately after the text they verify.] It's so easy not to notice problems with readability, coherence, grammar, etc. because when sentences contain long citation templates full of wiki markup, they can barely be read in the editing window

Joseph L. Mankiewicz
→Family history: American English tends not to add "the" before nouns used as descriptors like this. The word could have come before "radio and television personality Ben Mankiewicz" but, appropriately, it doesn'tTags: Mobile editMobile web edit

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
→Plot: Corrected many uses of the inappropriately in-universe "Indy," all of which will get undone by some dishonest person who will falsely claim, of course without reading the improved version, that "Jones" invites confusion since there are two characters with that name. The Estado Novo link came from someone so confident of their own genius that they've never read

Undid revision 997972496 by
Beyond My Ken (
talk) I agree! I said nothing different. I know that no veteran editor tolerates being reverted by an IP so this won't last but I'll reword my question in the hopes I'll get more than 5 seconds of consideration this time: doesn't calling someone "law professor" make also calling them a "legal scholar" redundant? Are there law professors who aren't legal scholars?Tags: UndoReverted
