Self-interested editing?

edit

Is user Barrmac Barr McClelland? Seems so, given his interest in this entry and in the entry of Jack Worthington. Worthington claims to be the son of JFK despite his family's disavowals and non-definitive DNA evidence from JFK's hair that "suggests non-paternity." Worthington seems to be a public advocate of McClelland's theory that LBJ was involved in the assassination of JFK, which is debunked at some length in Bugliosi's book on the assassination.

Asterisk

edit

Why is there an asterisk after the title of his book? Just a typo? I don't see a follow-up footnote at the bottom of the page, and even if I did, is that Wikipedia protocol? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.170.46.218 (talk) 03:58, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Oil depletion

edit

"It was not until the arrival of President Jimmy Carter that the oil depletion allowance was removed." Would be good to have cite on this. There is still a depletion deduction for oil along with other extracted items. What is being referred to in this sentence? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter Reilly (talkcontribs) 11:42, 30 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

The assertion here is that JFK was going to repeal the allowance, but that rich Texan oilmen in cahoots with LBJ had him killed in order to keep the allowance in place. I have removed the entire paragraph since a fringe claim like this needs to be discussed in reliable secondary sources before it can be included. - Location (talk) 00:12, 31 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
