Talk:Trial of the century
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Did anyone really consider Milosevic's trial The Trial of the Century? I never heard it called that... --Fluppy 07:34, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
In Serbia we did considerd it,beacause he proved that Serbs were not only one who commited crimes and he showed that Croatia and Bosnia wanted war,and not Serbia!Dzoni 14:22, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- What is the point of this page? What does it mean to say that the term is used "idiomatically"? Or is that a misprint for "idiotically"??--Jack Upland 00:33, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Too Many
This has become pointless. Many of these are not trials of the century types. I have deleted 7 of them. If anyone wants to add another one, they need to place one citation that mentions the words "trial of the century"--Bangabalunga 22:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sources?
Each trial listed on this page should cite to a source wherein it is referred to as the "trial of the century" or some variation thereupon. As of now, none of them do. MarritzN 19:14, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
The article has no sources. Moved here until sources can be cited. Sources must be reliable, not just anyone, someone qualified to judge. See WP:Verify. -- Stbalbach 18:55, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

- Included references for Nuremburg. The first only refers to the phrase "Trial of the century" in the title of a book review, but the source is the New York Times and demonstrates that it is referred to as the trial of the century in mainstream publication. The second is technically a blog, but the subtitle is "experts debate the issues", is part of a law school website, and the main article more in the style of a point/counterpont editorial than a blog, so I say despite being called a blog, the formal format, the fact that it is from a law school, and is proclaimed to be experts debating the issue, makes it a good source. - Gripdamage 19:08, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
