Add (currently missing) citation to the following sentence to the second paragraph in the 'Aftermath' section of the article: "Matthew's parents filed a civil lawsuit to prevent Woodward from earning any profits from selling her story."[1]

- I see this on p25 of the source. But there's only mention of a preliminary injunction. I'm not sure this is worth including unless we can tell the reader the final disposition of the action. Any sources on that? EEng 05:22, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- She lost the case by default, therefore she was banned from profiting from her story: see page 99 of this paper. Ferkijel (talk) 19:49, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

American or British English?
[edit]This article can't seem to make up its mind whether it uses American English or British English. I'm seeing both "defense" (US) and "defence" (UK), for example. A user unilaterally tagged the page as en-UK without explanation (I'm removing it pending consensus), and changed one "defense" into "defence". There's also the date order: at top it says DDMMYYYY, but in US custom it's MM/DD/YYYY. I realize it's complex because both sides have ties to the topic, but since the article is about the case, which took place entirely in the United States, and not about Ms. Woodward herself, I would suggest switching this page to American English.

- The person at the centre of this article is a British citizen, living in the UK for the vast majority of her life, therefore, British English should be the overall default language of this article. However, it is very important to use American English for those specific parts which refer to the deceased child and the subsequent legal trial(s) - the court case was conducted in the USA under American law.
