"This article does not cite any references or sources."

How's that? The article cites four books and articles.

How come it says "does not cite any"? Four is definitely more than none! The box should be removed ASAP. --anonymous 22:03, June 20th 2007 (CDT)

Agreed, and I have removed the tag (to be fair perhaps it was added before the sources were listed and no one thought to remove it. WP:CITE does, however, require that actual chapter-and-verse citations be made for any statements located in the article, so while the "No sources" box was incorrect, another box may well replace it. Incidentally, since David Walsh does not, at present, have an article, it is worth reiterating that he is deceased, as are several other players in the Bre-X saga, and are therefore not subject to the WP:BLP policy, but statements regarding any living persons should be cited by those familiar with the source material. 23skidoo 04:21, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit]

It seems that User:JanWMerks has some pretty strongly-held opinions on the subject of this article. Since this appears to be a part of a larger discussion, I have taken it up on his Talk page

why is it never mentioned that Felderhof pulled a similar stunt years ago in Australia? --dunnhaupt 00:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Brexintro.gif

Image:Brexintro.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 16:45, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] De Guzman fall death a suicide?

This article mentions De Guzman's death due to falling from a helicopter, which implies accidental. My Canadian sociology textbook (Kendall, 4th edition), as well as online news sources state that the official cause of death was suicide. Maybe this article could be updated to reflect more accurately this discrepancy. Erikkukun
