In working to eliminate unwieldy sentences and frequent repeating of words, I came across a factual discrepancy that needs to be addressed by the primary editor of this article. The text reads as follows:
So which is it? Did he get a life sentence or did he died before trial? I would guess he got the life sentecne but died some time after that. If anyone knows or finds out, please fix. thanks LiPollis 12:19, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
The lead sentence describes her as an ex-criminal. How can one be an ex-criminal? It's a mild POV issue, but would appear to be the result of someone trying to "soften" her image. Kemkerj 14:41, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Aboutmovies can you check your sources to see if they back up the birth certificate date fact I added? It's in the other sources if not, but I didn't want to add unnecessary clutter. Katr67 17:30, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
I was also going to remove the aside about Berrigan, with a summary to the effect that I don't think we need a clarification about Berrigan's stance on violence on this page and that I think it would go better on his page if needed there. Katr67 22:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Then maybe see about where she is today and address any GA comments.

I came across a minor factual error and removed the sentence. It had been stated that "As of Nov. 6th, 2001, Katherine Ann Power was a faculty member in the Philosphy Department at Oregon State University" and it referenced the following article ( http://oregonstate.edu/dept/ncs/newsarch/2001/Sep01/ideas.htm). However, upon review, the article does not state she was a faculty member. It might have infered from other sources that identified her as "surviving freshman composition teaching", however, both situations can easily be explained by the prevalence of graduate students teaching courses and giving lectures, especially in light of one of these same source documents suggesting her plans to leave the university soon "and gearing up for a new life in the Northeast next year." ( http://oregonstate.edu/cla/philosophy/about/report_highlights/0001.php). Minor, but worth discussing. Ackermal 20:47, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
(edit conflict)I changed the wording of the sentence that had been removed regarding Power having been a faculty member because I don't think it can be inferred that she was a faculty member from the cited source and I have been unable to find any other sources for the information. She did teach freshman comp so I updated the article to reflect that. Latr, Katr 20:56, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Walter Schroeder left behind a wife and nine children. And three years after he was killed, his brother John, also a Boston policeman, was shot and killed as well. These facts may not be necessary to this page, but the Schroeder family is the reason you're writing a Katherine Power article - and of course, the Schroeders don't deserve a page of their own. MarkinBoston 15:34, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Problem with the FBI's assertion is that their own documents that are linked from the cited article do not list Power as a member (see the index where her name is not present). Further, the founder of the group said she wasn't part of the group. Aboutmovies ( talk) 18:44, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
There is (as yet) no evidence for the {citation needed} "fact" that William "Lefty" Gilday died in the infirmary at MCI Shirley on September 9, 2011. Postdrop ( talk) 02:25, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
It seemed written like an essay. It was written as OR and POV prose and had no RS for its claims. Nor was it notable as a school or website.-- Canoe1967 ( talk) 23:08, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
The purpose of an external link is to let the reader find more relevant information. The Crimson article does not fill that purpose, no matter how many years it has been here.
