United States v. Ramsey (1926)

Nominator(s): GregJackP Boomer! 04:35, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the first murder investigation on an Indian Reservation by what would later become the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I believe that it meets the criteria for featured article. GregJackP Boomer! 04:35, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments. As always, feel free to revert my copyediting. - Dank (push to talk)

• This one will make a great TFA ... Native Americans, the Supreme Court, the genesis of the FBI, a crime investigation ... this is going to appeal to a broad range of readers.
• "United States ... United States ... United States": opinions differ on WP. Outside WP, it's no contest. U.S. (or US) has more support as the adjective (with specific exceptions). I made the edit.
• Support on prose per standard disclaimer. These are my edits. - Dank (push to talk) 02:14, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

• Would suggest making the map slightly larger
• File:Brown_hale.jpg: when/where were these images first published? Image description states pre-1923 but gives no details. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:12, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Increased map to 400px.
• I'm not sure, but since Brown was killed in 1921, it had to be prior to 1923. The photo is from the FBI files on the case. GregJackP Boomer! 22:45, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• It had to be taken prior to 1923, but need not have been published then. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:41, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• OK, I hadn't thought of that. What should I do to fix it? GregJackP Boomer! 03:31, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Try to track down either the original publication or more details about the source - this site attributes the images to fbi.gov, so you might be able to find some information there. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:21, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• I looked there, no luck. I'll keep looking, but until then, I've removed the photo. GregJackP Boomer! 17:28, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I'm concerned at the extent to which this article relies on primary sources. Steve Smith (talk) 08:28, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Today's Featured Article on the main page. If you have some specific concerns I would be happy to address those. Regards, GregJackP Boomer! 14:49, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply
