Much from:

Not any more. I'm sure that you used that source in good faith, but it contains major errors, and I have gone so far as to remove it from the list of references. —12.72.73.61 16:14, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Nixon quote

The quote from Nixon is out of context and misleading. Check the Frost Interviews -- the full quote is that Martha was a distraction to John Mitchell and that "no one was minding the store". This may not be the point that the editor was trying to make, but that was Nixon's POV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.96.68.179 (talk) 17:12, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Done. HairyWombat 00:09, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

There really ought to be more here about Martha's involvement in the aftermath of Watergate generally. --184.46.12.154 (talk) 13:07, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Timeline

The article states:

The Mitchells separated in 1973. After the Watergate break-in Martha Mitchell began contacting reporters when her husband's role in the scandal became known ...

So, did the Mitchells separate before Mrs. Mitchell began contacting reporters or after? Both events happened in 1973, so the article is unclear. HairyWombat 20:10, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

The Martha Mitchell effect

Can this be linked into the page? It's part of this - Martha_Mitchell#June_1972_kidnapping,_aftermath_and_vindication where she finds herself being labelled as mentally ill and "delusional" because of her Watergate revelations being disbelieved.

Alert to bias

The phrase "while rifling through her husband's papers" and surrounding language seems biased. Is the one New York Sun citation from 2004 a credible enough source to support the implications of 'rifling through'? Kdevans (talk) 03:33, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
