Neutrality[edit]

I understand Wikipedia's politics of not making a page for criminals, but name it "Boston Marathon Attack" for example, with a subcategory named "perpetrator" for the criminal. Now, only two Baekelands have a page, Leo : he's the inventor of bakelite. And Barbara. Who is famous for...? Being a socialite? A victim? I have read the Robbins/Aronson investigative book, several testimonies, including her own, confirm she raped her son. This page in the current state looks too much as a tribute for a rapist.--84.97.206.19 (talk) 16:10, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

The claims of incest are unproved to the full extent of 'fact' and should be described as 'alleged by some', at best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.181.7.127 (talk) 12:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found another link, that is not cited by whomever authored this page, which is almost word for word what is here. When you don't cite your work it's called plagiarism. Here's the link

http://www.encyclocentral.com/13542-Barbara_Daly_Baekeland_Murder_Case.html

Also, the son's name is Anthony, not Antony. 129.93.61.100 (talk) 13:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)Jared[reply]

I believe the article you linked to was derived from the Wikipedia article not the other way around.--209.7.195.158 (talk) 17:42, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

News articles are good sources for the page, they are not good external links. These should be integrated as in-line citations. WLU (talk) 15:18, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Barbara Daly Baekeland[edit]

The location of the marriage of Brooks Middleton Baekeland and Barbara Daly is cited on page 132 of "Savage Grace" as being Bennettsville, S.C., and not California, as stated in the Wikipedia article. 96.245.65.216 (talk) 19:53, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
