Talk:Kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard

Contradictions

there seem to be some serious unsourced contradictions in the Captivity section. e.g.:

• "Taking her from their car onto their property, Garrido placed a blanket over Dugard's head and ushered her into an area of his backyard where sheds and storage units stood, placing her inside a tiny one that was soundproofed. After he finished raping her for the first time he left her naked in the structure..." vs. "A week after Garrido kidnapped Dugard, he raped her for the first time while she was still in handcuffs, which she wore during her first week in captivity". The first statement is sourced to an LA Times report on the trial, the second seems to have no specific source cited.
• "...while she was still in handcuffs, which she wore during her first week in captivity" vs. "Almost three years into her captivity, the Garridos began to allow Dugard freedom from her handcuffs for periods of time" – both don't seem to have specific sources cited.

First, where's the contradiction?

Second, none of these passages are missing sources. All of them have citations at the end of the passage or paragraph, per WP:PAIC.

The redundant explanations of the first time he raped her, however, is a valid point. I don't know how I missed that after all these years. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll get to it as soon as possible. Nightscream (talk) 20:40, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

If I understand it right, your question is about the contradition in the second set of excerpts. I'll concede it's not a direct contradiction per se, but it does seem like odd wording – the first sentence may lead the reader to believe she was no longer handcuffed after the first week, which the second sentence disproves almost immediately.

Okay, I think fixed the problems with the passages in question. Let me know what you think. Nightscream (talk) 21:13, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

The handcuff thing is still a bit strangely-worded, but otherwise it seems the wording of that section is much more accurate/accessible. Thank you! Vadim Galimov (talk) 13:03, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

change He would continue raping her daily,[20] doing so at least once a week for the first three years of her captivity.[21] to He would continue raping her frequently,[20] doing so at least once a week for the first three years of her captivity.[21]

comment: the original text is self contradictory. 2601:644:4480:FED0:E1A7:5D26:BED8:B851 (talk) 16:25, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

 Done. I've taken out the "daily" bit. The ABC article has a video that I think a lot of the body was based on, but the video is unavailable to me right now. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (talk) 18:00, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Accuracy of information

People contributing to these articles should make sure that ... 1, your information is correct and 2, that Ur information doesn't conflict .... In this article it is stated that Garrido was released on FEDERAL parole and yet it also states that her federal lawsuit was dismissed because he was NOT under federal supervision ... They can't both be true 118.209.10.16 (talk) 05:22, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. What it should have read was that the majority in the 9th Circuit opinion stated that Garrido had not victimized her at the time he was placed under the supervision of the federal parole system. I've fixed that. Thanks again. Nightscream (talk) 17:25, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

• Sources indicate otherwise. Unless you have a citation to back that up, this change will not be made. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:45, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
