Dates don't make sense[edit]

I've tried to reorganize the material to put it in chronology, but the dates don't make sense. In one place it seem to say the victim was killed in 1966, whereas Candy Mossler was charged with the crime in 1965. Stay tuned. Famspear 20:06, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Mossler, supposedly one of the surviving grandsons, died in a car wreck in the eighties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.112.237.41 (talk) 04:09, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Last link in in error[edit]

the last reference is a dead link and leads to an OBIT of keith haring. I cant delete it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.226.20.130 (talk) 01:54, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What constitutes plagiarism?[edit]

Parts of this article are the same, word for word as the crimelibrary.com article, which you can find using the only external link listed. The link will take you to chapter 8. This article is just the rearrangement of paragraphs from chapter 8 with a few new words sprinkled here and there. Why bother writing an article if you're just going to lift it from somewhere else? Just provide a link and send readers there. At least they'll get a more accurate timeline of events. Here's an example:

THIS ARTICLE: Police officers turned up four witnesses who claimed the lovers solicited a hit on "the old mooch." The investigators lined up a long list of witnesses—neighbors, employees, hotel clerks—who said they saw Mel and Candy share affectionate moments. Cops found a photographic record of Candy and Mel's travels—souvenir snapshots from nightclubs, ski slopes, concerts.

THIS ARTICLE: America s newspapers and magazines took note of the salacious case, and a drumbeat began to build for indictment of Candace Mossler. It finally came on July 20, 1965.

THIS ARTICLE: Candy Mossler had flown to Rochester prior to her arrest in order to undergo treatment at the Mayo Clinic for migraines, but agreed to fly to Miami to surrender, rather than risk the indignity of a surprise arrest. Accompanied by a private nurse and wearing a Mayo Clinic wrist identification band, she flew from Minnesota to Miami International Airport, where she was treated to a genteel arrest by a state police commander. A mighty press contingent had gathered at the airport, and Candy gave them plenty of her toothpaste-model smiles. When reporters confronted her with allegations of adultery, incest, and murder, she simply replied, "Well, nobody's perfect."

CRIMELIBRARY.COM: She was still living in Rochester but agreed to fly to Miami to surrender, rather than risk the indignity of a surprise arrest. Accompanied by a private nurse and wearing a Mayo Clinic wrist identification band, she flew from Minnesota to Miami International Airport, where she was treated to a genteel arrest by a state police commander. A mighty press contingent had gathered at the airport, and Candy gave them plenty of her toothpaste-model smiles. "I cant believe this is happening to me," she said through gleaming incisors. Turning to the lawmen, she added, "What you should be doing is finding the man who really did this murder. That is what the Dade County taxpayers are paying you for."

Rearranging things confuses the timeline too. She rented the apartments in Minnesota BEFORE her arrest. This article makes it seem like she rented them in Florida AFTER her arrest. Stephlet 23:13, 30 November 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephlet (talk • contribs)

You can flag the plagiarised text, prase by phrase with the copyright violation cleanup tag, whole sections or pages with the close paraphrasing template or check for similarities with the tools linked to the copypaste template. It is still a copyright violation even if the website has been taken down and archived because the writing is not the Wikipedia editor's original words. Besides, writing for Wikipedia needs to use an encyclopedic tone and style, so the text from most other sources will need to be rewritten to follow the appropriate tone and style anyway. Just copying from somewhere else makes for a poor quality article, which this one is. - 203.96.84.33 (talk) 01:52, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
