Untitled[edit]

Was Jonathan Melvoin not in fact killed by alcohol?

No Damiancorrigan 01:16, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Which is it?[edit]

"Reports also circulate that Sarah McLachlan's hit single Angel was inspired by his death, and McLachlan has confirmed this."

Reports, or confirmed? Damiancorrigan 01:16, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia self-reference[edit]

Where the article talks about Sarah MacGlocklin and her song "Angel", it references wikipedia. I don't think wikipedia is a valid reference for wikipedia articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.178.78.99 (talk) 22:12, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Red Rum"[edit]

This article contained a short primer on NYC heroin varieties. The source cited says:

overdosed of a potent mixture of alcohol and heroin (specifically a substance known as Red Rum)

I take this to mean using both concurrently (if not necessarily "mixed"), but the article isn't very clear, and in the end it isn't possible to know how they were used or how they were called. Nomenclature in this case is irrelevant. "Heroin and Alcohol" will do: as ambiguous as the source.
