Lee Harvey Oswald

I think I fixed the problems! I'm sorry that before I accidentally cut part off. I added a reference and link to The Harold Weisberg Archive at Hood College, so I think that should be official! Gale Peterson (talk) 01:21, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Gale Peterson,

Thank you for the note (and the congrats above also). I now finally understand what this is referring to. Sorry, I was busy learning how to archive everything that was above the first 2022 item above this morning, and it took me a while to figure it out.

Yes, you fixed the broken link to a PDF file. But the first ref [39] is still to the private web site of the guy, and this second file I am still reviewing the contents of it, to see if it can stand as a verifiable ref on WP. Thank you, warshy ^(¥¥) 18:41, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

I just added another reference from the National Archives Catalog, Records of the John F. Kennedy Assassination Collection: Key Persons Files, kept at the U.S. Government site https://catalog.archives.gov. It says Thornley was questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) the day after Oswald was killed and just a few days after Kennedy was shot. It says Oswald and Thornley served in the Marines together. In the interview, Thornley said he had written a novel based on Oswald, but doesn't say the name of the novel. But the others source I put say the novel's name. I hope this passes muster! Gale Peterson (talk) 21:33, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Well, you placed this additional ref at the end of the next sentence, not where it should be, which is at the end of the two sentences you added about Thornley. Why the mention about "Discordianism" (whatever that is) needs to be on Oswad's page beats me.

But beyond that, after reading all the material you added and reading more about the guy on his own page, my own opinion has not changed. In my view this guy is a completely non-important, a rather marginal character in the Oswald story, that only serves to add trivial facts and make the whole issue more full of sensationalism and of irrelevant facts. In my view, this rather marginal, non-important character just used the fact that he met Oswald once by chance to try and make a name and a career for himself. I myself would rather remove all mention of him completely from the Oswald page. But I don't want to make a big fuss about something that is little, trivial, and not really important. I would at least remove the mention of "Discordianism" (whatever that is) from the Oswald page, since it does not have anything that relates to Oswald. But I won't do anything for the time being. The whole matter is in my view, again, just a completely marginal and unimportant distraction from the real important matters regarding Oswald and the Kennedy assassination. But then again, at least half of that page consists just of this kind of sensationalist and distracting, marginal and non-important petty gossip about other unimportant characters such as this one. Just so people reading about the matter get distracted and confused by unimportant, marginal bullshit. Oh well, enough of this crap for me, I am just stating my own opinion here in my own page, and that's the end of this matter for me. Thank you, warshy ^(¥¥) 22:47, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
