Main source for article disappeared, link dead.

[edit]

This article has a MAJOR problem: It was referenced at its core to a source that no longer displays the info: King, Gary C. "The Daring Escape of the Texas 7." Crime Library. It was cited 13 times with different segments, and as of today merely goes to a site map of TruTV.com- no story, effectively WP:dead link. This is what happens, when a link isnt archived. A link from 2009 doesnt work after 2, 3 or 4 years(esp when no WP:RS is sought), and in the case of the NYTimes after 10 years. --Wuerzele (talk) 16:48, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I found the following link: The Daring Escape of the Texas 7. Is that helpful? Isn't that the same one to which you are referring? Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 23:17, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rodriguez v. Garcia on their social background

[edit]

Crime Library does not directly state that Rodriguez had a higher social class than Garcia, but it does state this:

"While Garcia worked and lived as a blue-collar laborer and drank cheap beer [...] Rodriguez ran his own restaurant, dressed fashionably, wore a Rolex, and drove around town in his yellow classic Mercedes-Benz."

The comparison of the lifestyles is meant to imply that Rodriguez had a higher socioeconomic status than Garcia.

The thing is, Wikipedia:No_original_research stated that a source should be "[making] that statement explicitly". I feel like the article wants the reader to read between the lines and get the conclusion, but I think I'll need a more direct statement on that... (and FYI, both Garcia and Rodriguez are dead) WhisperToMe (talk) 05:17, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
