Flight 327 description is weak

It portrays the government report as supporting Jacobsen and contradicting Snopes, but this is not the case. The government report is entirely consistent with Clint Taylor's much superior reporting on Flight 327. I recommend adding Clint Taylor's reporting to the references (e.g., http://spectator.org/archives/2004/08/05/rashomon-in-the-skies-the-tang) and updating the description to be more accurate. Snopes does NOT say that Jacobsen's testimony about what happened is false, it says that her conclusion that what she saw was a dry run for a terrorist attack is false, and that appears to be correct.

Sentence should possibly be expanded

In the linked source text that is quoted in the section that talks about her 2014 book, there seems to be context [in the original source that is linked] that would suggest that this person is saying that her book is "perhaps the most comprehensive, up-to-date narrative [ABOUT OPERATION PAPERCLIP] available to the general public".

But since the whole source text can’t be included, what might not be ambiguous in the original text—due to the surrounding context of the sentence there—may lead to ambiguity here; I think the Wikipedia article should be reworded to avoid ambiguity.

At least some people might misread the wording in the Wikipedia article the way it is now and think it is saying that Watkins thought it was “perhaps comprehensive, up-to-date narrative [ABOUT ANYTHING AT ALL/IN GENERAL] available to the general public”.

- I am not sure how I would reword it, as I am not an experienced editor. So, I figured I would write this note. 2603:7000:7FF0:F70:18D6:EB02:F14D:22E (talk) 07:00, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
