[edit] Article Note
This article is the creation following the AfD for the article for Special Agent John Gibson titled John Gibson (police officer). The concensus was heading in the direction of merging the articles for John Gibson, Jacob Chestnut into the Russell Eugene Weston article. I created this one which follows the titling precedent of the U.S. Capitol shooting incident (1954) article.
Please feel free to make additions to this article but please cite your sources. This article has the potential to be a Featured Article some day because of the amount of information out there relating its events.

- I reckon we should probably rename it to 1998 U.S. Capitol shooting incident, and rename the other incident accordingly. Although not really a disaster, it's not far off either, certainly in terms of how to title it, so the naming convention developed by WP:DM] (which has, I beleive, since been adopted as official guidline) should be aplied.

- I am not truly opposed to renaming both, but let's hold off until these peer reviews and good article nomination clear before we start a new talk on renaming them. Would that be acceptable? Both the WP:Law Enforcement and WP:Congress participants will probably have some comments on renaming. Thanks! --Daysleeper47 15:28, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay replying; I forgot to watch the page and thought no response had come! It seems absolutly fine - in fact quite sensible - to wait until after the GA nom is through (Peer Review has finished by this time). By the way, for what it's worth, I don't see any problem with a see also section, despite the comment in the Peer Review.

A major cause of this crime is Montana State Mental Hospital's decision to release Mr. Weston and use Greyhound Therapy on him in which hospital personnel put him on a long distance bus and the problem disappears." See The Washington Post July 28, 1998, p. A6 article on the Weston Case. See also CNN Dec. 4, 1998 http://www.cnn.com/US/9812/04/weston.therapy/index.html referring to Greyhound Therapy.
Greyhound Therapy--putting mentally ill people on a long distance bus--to transfer them either to their family or to another State's mental hospital--seems to be a major form of therapy in America which failed in the Weston case. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22 March 2007 (talk • contribs) 02:39 (UTCRumjal)
[edit] GA Passed
Congrats, this is now considered a Good Article! It could use some minor work, such as adding Wiki links to words in sentences. For example, 2007 in the lead, Rep. Tom Delay has is articled on Wikipedia, X-Ray machine, etc. These were not fatal flaws however. Keep up the good work. If these are improved, you may wish to consider it for review as a featured article. Nja247 (talk • contribs) 10:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
