My first page, so I'm sure I'm not abiding by all the rules, sorry.

All the references should be present (I think I got them all). They're jacked up and need to be refined, but they should all be there.

References

i've corrected and coded the references properly, although there was one that shouldn't have been used as it did not mention victim names, or a link to this case. it's in a hidden comment within the article (external links), so has not been deleted. another link does not work, so again, i've hidden it, as it's pointless. i also fixed the way in which the victims were listed. the bullet points highlighted the dates and causes, where as they should highlight the victims names. to be honest, if you don't know how to edit a page, you should read the guidelines before attempting to do so. they're not that long and are easy to follow, so no excuse really! mind you, i guess that's what people like me are for, correcting things, lol!! i'm a bit unsure about the info about him being in jail for 21 years, in the first section, think this could be moved/reworded to fit elsewhere, although i think it is mentioned again further down the page. still, looks better now (not being big headed, it does!) 194.221.133.211 (talk) 14:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Much of the family background info summarized in the beginning of the article can be seen at http://lists.washlaw.edu/pipermail/deathpenalty/2004-September/000929.html, where the source is credited as Associated Press.Tkotc (talk) 00:14, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also see "Kansas City Pitch -- December 31, 2009" as quoted at http://www.virtualonlineeditions.com/display_article.php?id=293425 for these and more details.Tkotc (talk) 00:23, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Of the references given to support the victims and crimes, only two are needed. The others are reports from the same TV station reiterating the names. I've kept one. Hunt and Juniel are named in the "Blair found guilty" article from KMBC. The same article notes that the cause of death was determined for only one victim, so I have removed mention of it from the list. I found a reference to the fact that there is no possibility of parole. (KMBC 24 Apr 2008). I have a reference that he served 21 years for Monroe's murder (Twiddy), but couldn't find one for the 25 year original term. The sentence relating to his parole violation was confusing. I think he was arrested while he was on parole, not for a separate parole violation. So I rewrote it. I also felt the article was lacking because it didn't describe the evidence that led to his conviction, defense theories, nor did it mention motive. So I will add some detail in that regard.Tkotc (talk) 03:20, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Family History

Is the level of detail provided in this section necessary in an article about Terry Blair? Wouldn't it be sufficient to note the crimes and disposition regarding his mother and brother?
