Talk:Balloon boy hoax/Archive 1

2659:

happened here but the fact the balloon could not lift a child does not mean it was a hoax since unless someone actually had the balloon on hand to measure or were able to come up with a reliable estimate of the weight and size which would be rather difficult when it's in the air it's entirely plausible that the police would presume it capable of lifting a child and the media would follow the police lead. You seem to be applying what you know now to the situation at the time, which is a rather flawed analysis. In fact, it's hardly surprising that the media did little analysis of their own, it's not exactly uncommon they report late breaking stuff without any. If the authorities and police were treating the incident as genuine then anyone with much experience with the media wouldn't be surprised they'd just follow. So really the media don't come in to it at all rather why the authorities believed the incident to be genuine at first and this could be a hoax or it could be genuine wrong information or even simply incompetence (if they didn't bother to actual check whether the balloon could plausibly carry the boy, not apparently what happened). Anyway this is all getting rather OT. P.S. It's obviously possible someone in the media was involved in the hoax but that's neither here nor there.

response) for the Campanella material to be added, because it was one of the first official sources to indicate that the facts about the boy were unknown and he was possibly not even on the balloon. The same is true with the Colorado National Guard's report to Sky News which called the initial report unsubstantiated. So we have two early sources casting doubt on the reportage, but because they are marginalized in favor of sensational news stories, they are ignored. The Hoax category has had the criteria for inclusion of "possible hoax...not intended to disparage the authenticity of the report" in place for years. Nobody has ever been concerned enough about BLP to change it. As for the default position, I believe we are running into the limits and boundaries of recentism. A good source will be skeptical, ask questions, and investigate the story, and ultimately start asking questions about a hoax. I believe it is the default position, and that we must not simply report what sources say, but sift, weigh, and analyze sources for their authoritative analysis and opinion.

2708:. In fact, if you genuinely believe it is wikipedia's job to do what the media aren't doing then you have a serious misunderstanding of what wikipedia goals. If you don't like them, I suggest you don't edit wikipedia or at least not article involving living people. You also appear to be missing the point. I personally believed it was likely a hoax since perhaps 20 minutes of first hearing about it (which was after the boy had been found and after the Larry King incident) but that's irrelevant because I should not add my POV to the article. But this is not something I discussed in any way until now. My point was and remains that whether or not the balloon could lift off with the child, was largely irrelevant in itself in determining if it is a hoax, only whether (anyone) provided any knowingly incorrect information (which would imply it was a hoax) which lead authorities to believe it could. 3255:"Not yet confirmed it was a hoax"? Show me a single reliable source that says that. Questions were raised about it being a hoax right after the incident, and those sources were ignored. Questions continued to be raised after the family appeared on Larry King. Questions continued to build until authorities announced they were pressing charges. All reliable sources are now reporting that the authorities believe it is a hoax. There is nothing to "confirm" nor have you presented your special criteria for "confirming" this as a hoax. You seem to be saying that we can't call this a hoax or add hoax categories until someone is convicted of a crime. Is that true for all articles about hoaxes? I will go out on a limb and say it isn't true for any. I get it, I get it. It's only a hoax when 2834:

GroundReport before today however their articles and sites don't scream out "highly reputable sources". E&P in particular appears to be directed at media organisations more then the general public which could suggest we really need to wait for other sources to pick up their stories and GR is called "citizen journalism" which says the same thing even more strongly, particularly for BLP. Also, you don't appear to have edited the article or the talk page until today or yesterday nor can I find anyone mentioning those sources before you so I don't see any evidence anyone here even knew these obscure sources exists (although as I said, I doubt they would have been sufficient to mention speculation of a hoax in the article per

2801:. You said "you can't hide poor research" so it wasn't and still isn't really clear to me what you're talking about. If someone didn't find two obscure sources in writing a latebreaking article that hardly counts as 'poor research' in writing a wikipedia article. Excluding two sources you're aware of because they aren't sufficient according to policy clearly isn't 'poor research'. Even if it was the wrong thing to do and wasn't supported by policy, which I don't believe it was, that still wouldn't be 'poor research'. In fact it's best not to accuse editors of 'poor research' at all even if they did fail to find some good sources particularly in latebreaking events. 1090:(Channel 9) due to that station having a news helicopter able to track the balloon's progress. CNN has raised questions about the Heenes' publicity-seeking behavior, such as why pre-dawn television interviews with a sick Falcon were being conducted with a vomit bowl at the ready. The Heenes responded that they called the television station before 911 because they wanted the station to get their helicopter to track the flight of the UFO-shaped balloon. CNN and others have pointed out that 911 emergency services has access to their own helicopters. During the 911 call, Richard Heene interrupted the 911 dispatcher to check a call on his cell phone. 3930:: "This category includes notable proven hoaxes and possible hoaxes. An article's inclusion on this list is not intended to disparage the authenticity of the report, but to denote that it is in general considered, or evidenced, as having being created as a hoax, or was known to be false (or a joke) as created. Note: To forestall disputes among editors, religions and religious figures are excluded from inclusion in this category, although this may be disputed by some editors." Last major revision regarding inclusion of "notable proven hoaxes and possible hoaxes" added by 4811:

authorities, especially at their major press conference where they talked about the testing. It's an important part of the story, and without it, the material that says, "Alderden said the base of the balloon could have handled 37 pounds without breaking, but in order to go airborne with those 37 pounds inside it would have had to have been attached to a more powerful balloon" doesn't make any sense. Try to read the article with fresh eyes, as if you didn't know anything about the topic. Because of your deletion, the number 37 is no longer defined.

many news sources reported this statement or one similar to it, but did not report the full statement, which reads, "At this point, we are thinking that he did not fall out of the balloon and is somewhere on the ground," Larimer County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Eloise Campanella told CNN. "The basket itself was not breached. It does not look like he fell out of it, but again, this is all conjecture. I'm very confident we will find him. I think it's a matter of him being a little scared," she said. "Maybe he's not ready to be found."

3631::Vague accusations about ignored sources will fall on deaf ears. We have already told you about our policies for including information on living persons. Just because it seems that this one actually is a hoax, doesn't mean that the next one will be false, or the one after that. Our policy is to protect people who may have been unjustly accused by unreliable sources. Those sources, especially at the time, were not credible enough. We don't use citizen journalism for something as controversial as this. That's what 4186:. The lead section attributes this sensationalism to a "mistake" (hardly, as Carl Bernstein said, "Well, let's take a look at what we're talking about: misinformation, disinformation, celebrity stuff—gossip, sensationalism and especially manufactured controversy.... Increasingly, sensationalism, gossip, manufactured controversy have become our agenda instead of the best obtainable version of the truth. We've become frivolous.") and large swaths of facts continue to go unreported here. 31: 1203:

technical specs in between the background and the search sections doesn't really preserve narrative. For the reader, it's best to place technical data in a floating table or box off to the side and keep the narrative going, but use the data to illustrate the narrative. Right now, there is no flow at all, and information appears all over the place, out of context and out of chronological order. It's a real mess.

4104: 1323:- Where is the reference discussing 911 having availability of 'copters in relation to the order of calls. In any event, this might not pass muster for inclusion. Where is there mention of 'check a call on his cellphone' during the 911 call? And even if there was, again, it might not pass muster (because of the implicit suggestion that to do so would have been a 'bad thing'-- 3081:

may not have been at the time) when all parties involved could have believed the balloon may be carrying the child even if it could not have carried the child. (In fact, if the authorities had decided based on the information available it was unlikely the child could be carried we have no way of knowing how different they would have handled it.)

million volts on it's outer skin." Reporters later found only a few 9 volt batteries and little in the way of wiring or electrical components inside the balloon. The Biefield-Brown Effect is often interpreted by UFO proponents as means of electrogravitic propulsion but has never been shown to have practical use in this capacity.

leads, including other suspects. This could possibly include the participation of a media organization, who knows? In any case, one person cannot pull this off. The incident was most assuredly a hoax, but this is separate from the question of who is responsible. You are mixing the two things, unnecessarily.

and others have presented evidence that this incident was planned, tailored, and pitched to a major broadcast network days to weeks before it occurred, with documents showing an agreement to pay the Heenes for the coverage. 3) All three of the Heenes' sons knew of the hoax. 4) Charges are pending. If this

the video showed an open door. There was discussion yesterday about something having been attached with pegs, but the video just does not show it, that I can see. There was nothing visible suspended below the silver button. Where is the boy supposed to have entered? In an interview that night, Mr. Heene

4738:

Also, the "helium balloon flight" section had included some info about how the sheriffs later discovered the balloon couldn't have carried Falcon (based on the actual dimensions). I expanded that info a bit, and looking back at it now, I'm wondering if it still belongs there, or if it should be moved

4067:

As a category, it's vague and unworkable, and it just seems like a weasel word way of saying something is or is probably a hoax, rather than attributing the accusations that it's a hoax (something a category cannot accomplish). What's the standard for determining that something is a potential hoax?

reported on Thursday, October 15 that "Eloise Campanella of Larimer County Sheriff's Department had told CNN: "The bottom of (the balloon) is contained and hasn't been breached. "So at this point we are thinking he did not fall out of it. He has to be somewhere on the ground near his home." However,

3080:

That's just silly. If it was a hoax, then it was obviously a hoax from the beginning. However as I've said so many times, and this will be the last time, even if the balloon could not have carried the child doesn't imply it was a hoax. There are clearly many possibilities (many seem unlikely now, but

The question is verifiability. Emails are very easy to forge and the question really is if Gawker is reliable enough to check the authenticity of the emails. There are two things to question, 1) Are we sure that is Richard Heene's email address, and 2) Did the email really originate from the domain

1484:

A very brief summary of the hoax claim by Robert Thomas can be added to the "Hoax" section of the article, together with disclosure that Gawker paid Thomas. A link to the Thomas & Heene emails is a must, to establish Thomas & Heene were in fact communicating about the subject of this article.

The boy was directly asked "why didn't you come out of the garage;" responding " for the show" makes no sense in response to that question, even coming from a nervous six year old. Additionally, instead of immediately clarifying his comment and explaining "the show," his parents stumbled and went off

Thanks for the Falcon's weight thing. Put it back - and it fits well in the stuff about the sheriff's investigations. What do you think of the flow of the 'Balloon Flight' section now - hopefully it portrays better why I think it (except the last 'sheriff' para) forms a solid section of it's own.

Whatever happens, I think Hunter Kahn is on the right track. You need to create and maintain a narrative flow, starting with the lead section. The background works up until the fourth paragraph, which should actually be the first paragraph of the next section, title to be determined. Sandwiching

that ensued, and doesn't mention the displacement of major news stories, such as President Obama's town hall meeting in New Orleans. Concerns that I've raised about sources (such as at 15:46, 19 October 2009 above) remain ignored, with sources in the article still saying one thing but using sources

3038:. It was entirely appropriate. Saying that the sheriff confirmed it was a hoax/publicity stunt is at best poor writing, at worse a potential BLP violation. Instead, it is better to actual write what happened which is that the sheriff said it was a hoax or consider it a hoax and are pressing charges 2256:

The original source was a broadcast by CNN news instead of a print/online article, so I do not know how to source it. It aired Friday (10/16/09) (Wolf Blitzer’s 2nd interview of the sheriff.)

4826:

Jaymax, I'm not at all clear why you are saying the weight issue isn't important. It was important enough for the authorities to conclude that the balloon could not have launched with Falcon on board. Is there a reason you have determined on your own that this is not important enough for Knowledge?

Richard Heene's YouTube contributions show a great interest in UFO's and the Paranormal. In a press briefing after his son resurfaced, Heene claimed that the ballon was designed to utilize the Biefield-Brown Effect. Earlier he also told the 911 dispatcher that the balloon would periodically "emit 1

I would defer towards inclusion of anything pertaining to (1) pseudo-scientific aspirations, and/or (2) seeking TV (slash public?) exposure; as 'leading towards' the event. Separately, pointing out that it's not ONLY an article about a crime (ie: the 'event' was (debatedly) notable even before the

Blitzer also discussed that the father responded, re why they called the tv station before calling 911, that he wanted the TV station’s helicopter to follow the balloon, to which another CNN legal advisor responded, “Well that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, since 911 has their own helicopters.

1202:

Also, the father only called 911 after first calling the FAA, followed by KUSA (Channel 9) due to that station having a news helicopter able to track the balloon's progress. CNN has raised questions about the Heenes' publicity-seeking behavior, such as why pre-dawn television interviews with a sick

4462:

Since the majority of the information now coming out about Richard Heene is more about his life and "career" and less about the "balloon incident", how much of that info really fits into this article? Like it or not (and personally, I don't), he probably will become notable enough to "deserve" his

I disagree, I think the facts of the matter are entirely relevant. If the balloon could not have held a child, then how did this impossibility get reported to the media? You are wrongly assuming that the parents are solely responsible. According to news reports, authorities are pursuing multiple

2519:

I disagree. A hoax is the default position, as there is nothing supporting the idea that it was a real event. As I said on Postdlf's talk page, the evidence allegedly shows that: 1) It was impossible for the balloon to launch with the boy inside, and Heene must have known this. 2) Robert Thomas

Then let's wait a week or two and decide. It is certainly currently significant. If it is revealed to be a hoax, I think it should stay, as it may be referenced by future articles. This event may be historical, in that other real-life hoaxes that occur in the future would say "Just like the 2009

The Balloon hoax is a helluva lot more newsworthy than the irrelevant video games that run once a month as a "featured" story on Wiki's front page. Before you can knock out something like this, the Wiki editors need to get a lot more serious about what is important and relevant. I expect you can

I'm wondering if the "Helium balloon flight" and "Search and discovery" sections should simply be merged? As it is, half of the latter section is about the tracking of the balloon, which seems more appropriate for the "flight" section anyway. If they aren't merged, then that information should be

I really don't think the balloon and flight info should be merged with the 'search and discovery' - because there are two quite distinct, mostly unrelated sub-stories - one human, one technical. I suggest 'search and discovery' might need retitling however, to focus on the human stuff, and move

To answer both Viriditas's point and yours: when the parents admit it was a hoax. They haven't, and they are facing criminal charges. It's a question of fundamental fairness as much as it is Knowledge policy and BLP. I'm really surprised we're arguing this point. If it's hoax, they're guilty. We

Bottom line, a consensus of editors here believe that reliable sources have not yet confirmed it was a hoax. There are reports of speculation and accusation, all of which can be properly documented in the article if attributed, but that does not amount to confirmation. Even local news stations

It could be argued that incresing recentism is actually a reflection of the maturity of the encyclopaedia - more editors finding that their less current knowledge is already encapsulated. Regardless, I see recentism as a GOOD THING - I see no reason why a digital encyclopaedia shouldn't provide

In this modern day and age, many media which "break stories" are often not great sources and need to be used with care in wikipedia articles. In BLPs in particular it's usually necessary to wait until other sources have followed. I'll freely admit, I've never heard of Editor & Publisher nor

Whatever. This Balloon Boy nonsense should pretty much wrap up from here, esp. once the friendly, "gullible" sheriff investigates Thomas' claims, as TParis suggests. I'm signing off this article, but hope someone will update (or add a new) "Cost of Search, Rescue and Investigation" section. Ta.

I'll second that. Let's wait and see, at least until a week or two have passed, and determine then if this is worth deleting. It may be worth merging into something else, or at least be mentioned somewhere. It did make international news, and though it may not be news, it has become known

The media are not at fault for the hoax. The media is at fault for failing to fact check before relaying "details" to the public, and other aspects of poor journalism. Looks like Wolf Blitzer was one of he few journalists on his toes. This Heene Hoax is a valid article to keep, in my vote.

The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual or has otherwise been considered noteworthy such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally the historic significance is indicated by persistent coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources that devote

I think the same principle applies to publications that have picked up on the Gawker report. I see that a couple have done so. If they independently confirm it, find. If not, I think it's problematic and does not constitute the "additional sources" that Wordsmith correctly points out is

Try clicking on the link that I cited, rather than making a counterfactual accusation. Everything I stated is clearly shown in Heene's home video. Can you see the balloon? Can you hear what Heene says? Can you see anything below the balloon but the 4 foot by 1.5 foot cardboard cylinder?

3485:

It looks like the original is contained within a CNN transcript of some kind. The Sky News source also reports that "spokesman for the Colorado National Guard earlier told Sky News the boy's brother had said he saw him fall out of the balloon but that report 'was unsubstantiated'."

4086:. Instead of putting these alleged or accused hoax articles in the Hoax category, this category would be for those that are not confirmed by a guilty verdict or admission of guilt. It is not meant to accuse in any way but it will need some wording to ensure that does not happen.-- 3793:

I'm about to log out, so I don't have much time, but the suggested Campanella material would go in the "Search and discovery" section. At present, it only says, "Once the balloon touched down, it was reported that it did not appear breached." The reference for that statement is

You said it yourself: "authorities believe it is a hoax". That is not the same statement as "it is a hoax". The sheriff on Friday said it wasn't a hoax and on Sunday he said it was a hoax. Which time did he get it right? Stick to the reliably-sourced facts, and all will be well.

Hell, if any non-Wikipedian is going to be upset about the word "hoax" being used, it will be because the word is used prominently in the lede and discussed throughout the article, not because it will be found way at the bottom in a category name. I think if you just put it in

Another thing we need to be concerned with is BLP issues. A claim like this is very controversial and negative, so I think we would need more than just Gawker to use it. I will be removing the statement per BLP concerns, and when we get more sources it can be put back.

1615:

I'd like to see these things at least mentioned under the Hoax heading, as things that had many people wondering before (NB: not 100% sure if 911 call released before) the kid really gave the whole game away. Generally, the 'raising of suspicions' sequence is

2939:

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. If we find that a majority of reliable sources call the incident a hoax (not an "alleged" hoax), only then can we call it a hoax here. Judging the facts for ourselves and concluding that "it must be a hoax" in the article is

4544:. In particular, editors should remember that someone accused of a crime is not considered guilty of that crime until they have been found to be so under judicial process. If such adjudication has not occurred, editors must give serious consideration into 4370:

I don't think that is necessary. There are plenty of eyes on this article to revert vandalism if it is unprotected and plenty of admins to reprotect it if it does. There has not been any edit warring between the admins that would require additional page

2609:. What do you see? Do any of these articles require anything more than what we have to classify them as a hoax? What exactly are you waiting for? Tell me, what is the strongest piece of evidence available at this moment that points to this incident as 1128:"Before the fame-seeking backyard scientist Richard Heene phoned the police to report that his 6-year-old son, Falcon, had floated away on a homemade flying saucer Thursday morning, he called a local TV station and asked them to send a news helicopter." 3107:

covered all the bases and Knowledge dropped the ball, choosing to blindly mimic the news frenzy. You can justify it all you want, but this is what happens when you suck the teat of the mass media. There needs to be more skepticism and less credulity.

on this in the media section once it eventually gets some retrospective coverage. The science / physics aspect (or rather, the lack of any use of science based consideratons) in particular is STILL sorely lacking in the media, even in hindsight and

1646:

I'm bugged by the fact that STRONG EARLY suggestions of it being a hoax were all over the place in forums long before the MSM decided it was okay to comment on it (some even while the balloon was in flight). But this obvious observation constitutes

1298:

The Heenes had called the FAA first, followed by a local TV station, before finally calling 911 emergency services. The sheriff said the call to the TV station, KUSA-TV, made sense because the t.v. station’s helicopter could have provided immediate

905:

HOWEVER - My corrolory to all that, is there should be rigourous cleanup - if the problem is left-over chaff, then send left-over chaff for deletion. Maybe we should have an 'articles of potentially transitory notability to auto AfD in 12 months'

3555:

They didn't break anything. They regurgitated what they saw on CNN and questioned whether it was a hoax. Can you explain why we should disregard our sourcing standards to include this? If I wrote the same thing on my blog, should it be included?

419:

This Heene Hoax article should definately stay. It's one of those "War of the Worlds" media moments. the public learns how vulnerable we all are, internationally, when we give too much faith, authority and unquestioning credibility to the media.

2136:

Actually, he may have a point IF this was a copy/paste merge. Copying from one article to another without attributing the contributions to the author is actually violating Knowledge's license. That is why merging must include history merges.

significant attention to the individual's role. The assessment of notability on the basis of news coverage should follow the same criteria for assessing the notability of the crime, as above. Examples of perpetrators meeting this standard are

2372:

I don't see where there's a firm connection, beyond attendant publicity. Lots of people go up in balloons. Larry's flight was real, and the kid's flight was non-existent. However, it's not worth edit-warring over. The novelty aspect is there.

2272:

I think both maps are useful to give context to the story. A map showing the path of the flight would also be useful and might replace one or both of these depending on the content of the map, but until then, this is useful information.

do is to negatively speculate on living people with poor quality sources. Anyway the reason I joined this discussion one last time is because I just found out was even more silly then it seemed. The hoax speculation was first added here

To be honest, if my child disappeared, the balloon was the air, and I was told my child had crawled into it, I'd be panicking a bit too much to do the maths. :) And even if I did do the maths, I'd still be terrified that I was wrong. -

3569:

GroundReport was one of the first news sources to write about a possible hoax and the Campanella quote from other RS is still not in the article. Which sourcing standards are supposed to be disregarded by adding the Campanella quote?

902:. Rather, I see the issue as the idea that notability can not be transitory - where is the harm if the encyclopaedia pulls together information on large, multi-day, developing significant news stories getting international coverage? 4708:

moved over to the flight, and the "Search and discovery" section should include only info on the landing of the balloon and the subsequent "discovery" of Falcon in the Heene house. I'd like to hear what others think of this? —

This suggests that most biographical information, including what I have cut from the Family Background section, would belong in an article on the parents. This article should only have information directly linked to the event.

2289:

It's retarded to title this article "colorado balloon incident". Do a google search based on hits and you'll see that "balloon boy" would be MUCh more appropriate. NO ONE reports it as the colorado balloon incident geez.

3765:

Sorry, I thought that was obvious. I was reverted when I tried to add categories, and I was reverted when I tried to remove a seealso link (accidentally, it turns out). At this point, I confine myself to the talk page.

And Richard said, "how much do you want to bet we could facilitate some sort of a media stunt that would be equally profound as Roswell, and we could do so with nothing more than a weather balloon and some controversy?"

3593:

Belief that his son was in the balloon, despite the physical impossibility of flight in this case, could just as easily be explained by ignorance as by a hoax. It is almost definitely a hoax. But IS NOT confirmed.

1753:

One week, one month or one year from now, no one is going to even care about this story. So, why is this so worthy to put into wikipedia. Should we put any news story we happen to like on to Knowledge? Com'on.

3368:. But we didn't ignore them before. We're looking at them, and we're determining whether these sources are accepting in light of our rigorous standards for sourcing an emerging event with strong BLP concerns. – 4846:

Later we can add in the actual weight of the baloon when that's known, or maybe put something in now as 'over 18 lbs' - the weight of the balloon being a different issue to the fact the father lied about it.--

I don't know if they did this just for wikipedia, although who knows nowadays. There may be someone in this discussion who may be connected to the family. Perhaps trying to keep that article, but who can tell

If you built the helium craft yourself, you'd know the maths inside out, and prob have them written down. You'ld also know intuitively that the baloon could barely lift a kitten once it had lifted it's own

Some of my above information would now have to threaded into various sections of the article (some of it has already been included by other editiors). Does anyone have any objections to the above material?

I wasn't arguing to remove them, rather I think it's disappointing that all the news items that happened before there was a Knowledge, will never get the same amount of coverage as recent news items. --

Tell me what would confirm this incident as a hoax, and please point to other topics/articles on Knowledge where such a confirmation process has taken place so that I can learn what it looks like.

3460:

Just to be clear, I hold the exact same opinion - but that doesn't change the fact that we must approach this article with a discerning eye wrt sourcing and the utmost attention to BLP concerns. –

330:

amount of helium present or consumed from any onsite compressed-gas tank, he capacity of the balloon, the slackness of the envelope during flight indicating no payload, all have gone unremarked.

3139:

Also, you're arguing for wikipedia being at the "leading edge" of stories. That is not wikipedia's function. Failure to understand that fact, is the source of much of the conflict on wikipedia. ←

Oh, give me a break: "We had it tethered. It wasn’t supposed to take off," he said. "It emits a million volts on the outer skin." Yeah, sounds real. Like I said, a hoax is the default position.

I just saw that video for the first time. The kid blew the parents' cover. They can expect a large invoice in their mail sometime soon, a greeting card from the search-and-rescue organizations. →

2740:

do original research on wikipedia. There's no ifs or buts about it. If 'concerns' are discussed in reliable secondary sources then these can usually be included in articles but when it comes to

The father as constructor of the ballon must have been aware of the maximal lift capactiy of his ballon. From the fotofootage it seems impossible that the liftcapacity comes near to 20 kilo. --

3873:

It should be up to the court to decide if it was a hoax or not, or the family to admit guilt. It's like accusing someone of murder or any other crime without going though the legal processes.

2185:!!) While this is certainly 'big' news right now, I'm of the mind that in 2 or 3 months people are going to be asking "Falcon Who?" which will quickly be followed by "Oh, yeah; wasn't..." 766:

Examples of hoaxes that capture widespread interest are appropriate for the encyclopedia. The great Moon hoax is an example now often cited and studied for cultural and historical purposes.

Also "According to the Fort Collins Coloradoan, a local resident reported something dropping from the sky near Weld County Roads 41 or 43 and 28." from source above. Someone add this stuff?

624:? Just because 'everyone' might be able to see something in the embedded video does NOT mean that something meets he requirements for inclusion. The observaton must first be made by a 3052:

I see that the sheriff did actually say he could confirm it was a hoax. Despite that it's still better to present it as a statement of the sheriff rather then a statement of fact

2002:"Officials have expressed concern that he may have fallen out during flight. Margie Martinez of the Weld County Sheriff's Office says that the door was unlocked in the balloon" 456:

Agreed. I have just given the same reminder to someone editing a related article. It's also why I weighed in re: the article's validity on the Talk page, not the article itself.

3798:

but it looks like either the article content has changed or that statement refers to one of the embedded videos. From what I can tell this is supposed to refer to Campanella,

You should not have removed it, since several sources are available. The follow up CNN broadcast with Wolf Blizter speaking to the county sherriff is where it originated.

4556:

This suggests that most likely, the parents will be qualified for an article in the near future. As far as the scope of this article, the same guideline has this to say:

I beg to differ that it's even an "historic" event. Way too premature to make such a claim in less than 24 hrs. Kid was found unharmed...end of story. Delete, I say.

2614:

conclusion. Now, as to who perpetrated the hoax, that is another question, but you seem to be confusing the incident and the perps, whomever they may turn out to be.

819:

I don't care about 99% of the topics covered on WP, and would probably consider most of them trivial. This is no reason to remove them, especially not if they meet our

2722:

No, you can't hide poor research and bad editing behind the claim that you are upholding a policy. Concerns about a hoax were raised from day one but were ignored.

2056: 1826:

Falcon Heene appears to be a candidate for deletion. I think that wikiworthyness may have more to do with this as a historical event rather than focusing on the boy.

470:

If these people pulled off a hoax, how are the media at fault for that? If it's a hoax, it will be the media that enables the public to find out, by exposing them. →

3541:

I haven't disregarded anything. I've only asked why the material isn't represented in the article. Still no answer. And yes, GroundReport still broke the story.

2744:

however we generally require a very high standard before we mentioned speculation particular negative. This isn't hiding behind policy but reflective of the fact

3185:

The best thing we could have done would have been to avoid this whole mess by waiting a few hours or even a day or so before we even wrote an article. Excessive

3738:

Campanella still hasn't been added, so it is still being ignored. And, I've provided RS above, including Sky News, and you found the CNN material on kptm.com.

1350:

The producer of "Wife Swap" said that it had a show in development with the Heenes before the balloon incident took place, but they have now cancelled the show.

Can anyone look at this picture of the family, with their mock expressions of...what do you call that expression anyway?... and still think it's NOT a hoax?

3909:"Alleged" is a verboten word to use in categories, because there's no meaningful threshold for inclusion—how many must allege, or who? Those categories are 1302:

However, 911 also has their own helicopters. During the 911 call, Richard Heene is heard interrupting the 911 dispatcher to check a call on his cell phone.

I am all for this, I am surprised it was not created sooner. Although perhaps "Alleged hoaxes" might be a better name. Potential hoaxes could lead to

2756:. In any case, I'm not sure why you're complaining about this to me given that I've never edited the article and only discovered it about 6 hours ago. 3477:, according to them. In any case, the story repeats a quote from CNN that was covered by other networks. This quote is not in the current article. 669:

isn't the most reliable, reports have come in that the Larimar County Sheriff's Office is officially investigating reports that the event was hoaxed.

3443:

Huh? GroundReport broke the story and I was attributing to them, rightly. I'm curious about how attribution is supposed to bypass SYNTH. Do tell.

2138: 1651:

so obviously can't be included. Meanwhile, the MSM is all over when THEY finally clicked (the Blitzer interview). It will be good to include some

that does not relate to the crime in question. Editors should consider creating articles on perpetrators if at least one of the following is true:

Interesting. You must have read a different article. The article I read was called, "Was Balloon Boy Chase a Hoax?" I see nothing stating that

4831:

but the original press conference discussed it in more detail. Please add it back in, as RS and the authorities find it important to this story.

The existence of the emails makes it noteworthy in the article, and allows readers to make up their mind without adding interpretation or bias.

which is strongly focussed on the 'is it a hoax' question. Is this a sufficient cite, or does interpreting a deliberate inference constitute

Hmm - I moved it back - but after reviewing more closely I agree. I'm going to try and hunt down better refs so hold off reverting please.--
