Simpson FAQ suggestion
editPerhaps we should start a discussion (perhaps on the OJ article itself) on how we can make an FAQ above as to why the article is to remain neutral in regard to Simpson’s guilt or innocence. What we can use is an edit filter on the page (and the article itself, I suppose) which, if the submitted edit contains the word "alleged" or “Simpson committed the murders”, blocks the edit and throws up a message referring the editor to an FAQ on why it is not allowed. I think it would need to apply to all of the peripheral articles too, like Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, not to mention the central article, O. J. Simpson murder case. Anything that's not protected at a given moment tends to get that kind of drive-by edit. There are good arguments that can be made some reasons why if someone else (or a group of someones) had been involved in the murders (either as the real/actual killer or an accomplice with Simpson), the LAPD would not have charged them. Many positing alternate theories argue that either the LAPD framed Simpson or conducted a shady investigation that led them to miss evidence of other's involvement or ignore evidence because they did not want to undermine their public position that Simpson acted alone. From what I gather, Wikipedia policy is not to proclaim guilt especially if a person if found not guilty by a court of law. That does not mean his is innocent as we all no, but it does not Wikipedia should not state that position. We can state that many people believe he got away with murder. We also have to acknowledge though that others feel differently and think he was framed or that he was at least not the sole perpetrator in the murders. While many people are frim on stating they believe the evidence points to Simpson indeed being the real murderer and having acted alone, some people have posited alternate theories for the murders in which either one or more other suspects committed the murders or in which Simpson did not act alone. If we're going to have to divide how people feel about the case, in varying ways, it only makes sense that we should have FAQ detailing the neutrality towards Simpson’s guilt or innocence. 92.17.197.110 (talk) 22:16, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

- Unfortunately, anything found at findagrave.com must be considered unreliable, even a photograph, as it is not considered a reliable source.
- A better published source would be this: https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/fathers-and-sons-the-crash-of-aeroflot-flight-593-fc4947bdb1f1 General Ization Talk 21:59, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
