Untitled

THere are two different dates of death. By his name at the top it says April; further in the article it says September. This needs to be corrected.

I don't know the netiquette about this, so I'm a little careful with editing. Would it be of interest to the general public that German songwriter Wolf Biermann (also in Wikipedia) also wrote a song about William L. Moore ?

There was a Change in the month of death, without sources given. Is this Change corrrect? I found a copy of a german News paper article using the previouly given date. But on sources so shady i wont revert.--84.160.209.36 11:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The New York Times archive gives the date as April 1963 (e.g. "FBI Help Sought in Hiker's Slaying" printed April 27, 1963). --206.248.162.189 19:24, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Comments

There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.

The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.

Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 18:09, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Location of murder

The article is not long but has managed to name three different places in Etowah County, Alabama where Moore was killed:

Attalla, Alabama (pop. 8,257 in 1960)
Keener, Alabama (unincorporated, "also called Greenwood")
Reece City, Alabama (pop. 470 in 1960)

Locating the historical marker on a map should resolve this; it marks where Moore's body was found. The marker is missing from the crowd-sourced Historical Markers Database. The Alabama Historical Association index of markers does list it but gives little location information. Google Maps gives an exact location, probably user-supplied.

The location is not within the limits of either Attalla or Reece City. (The Google shortcode for the marker location is "Attalla, AL 35954" and the nearest interstate highway exit is labeled "Reece City". These may explain the errors in the article.) Keener has no clearly defined boundaries AFAIK, but we can assume it is not a large area. Keener Baptist Church, which appears to be at the nearer edge of the Keener community, is about 1 mile distant from the marker. So it would be a stretch IMO to say it is located "in" Keener.

I propose that the site of William Moore's killing be described as "in Etowah County, Alabama". If more precision is wanted, maybe try:

"on U.S. Highway 11 in northern Etowah County, Alabama" — or
"an isolated spot north of Gadsden, Alabama" [the largest nearby city] — or
"a spot in rural Etowah County, Alabama about 1 mile from Keener, Alabama".

That's in case the article eventually provides more information about the William Lewis Moore historical marker, including its location. — ℜob C. alias ALAROB 23:37, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
