Added something to the article

edit

in the chapter about television, i added the episode of The Practice but my English is not that perfect so if anyone can rewrite it in a better way that will be good enough for the English wikipedia, that would be great, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.179.117.32 (talk) 00:57, 23 January 2016‎ (UTC)Reply

Why are there two inflation adjustments?

edit

I'm curious why the listing for Andrew Borden says both the 2021 and 2022 inflation adjustments. We really only need the most recent. I'm thinking of doing away with the 2021 unless there's a reason for it to be there? The Introvert Next To You (talk) 20:20, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Personally, I would remove the 2022 figure, which was added manually and is not a result of the inflation template. Since inflation equivalents are provided multiple times in the article, all for 2021, they should all be the same. Schazjmd (talk) 20:36, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Split to Borden murders

edit

What do you think about splitting some of this content to a separate article about the Borden murders? The murders themselves have been written about by dozens of researchers and authors over the years and it is quite strange that we do not have a standalone article about them.--16:01, 29 May 2024 (UTC) User:Namiba 16:01, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • Lizzie Borden doesn't have any notability outside the murders, so a rename might be possible, but a split would probably not be useful. AnonMoos (talk) 17:56, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
    There are quite a number of sources which discuss her life, even if the the murders take up a central place. The article cites many of them.--User:Namiba 19:04, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
    That's irrelevant. EEng 06:45, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • This is a very bad idea. The two topics are inextricably linked, and best presented together, because someone arriving to learn about one would almost certainly want to learn something about the other. Splitting would require duplication of material, and ongoing coordination of the two articles, to no apparent benefit. The only way this would make sense would be if the combined article becomes so large as to be unwieldy. We can start discussing that when the article's about 3X its current size.
