About the act
editI feel this article fails because it does not have details on the Cliff Stearns-introduced amendment into the bill, namely that the first responders have to undergo terrorist background checks. Lots42 (talk) 00:25, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
Greater Emphasis on the Zadroga Act itself?
editHaving been redirected to the James Zadroga article upon searching for the Zadroga Act, I'm wondering whether we should have an article on the act itself either in place of or in addition to this one. The information on Zadroga itself could easily become a section of a broader article on the act and its implications.
Personal section
editI'm not even logged in (apologies to those who may care, am at a public pc), but I just couldn't let this edit go. I changed the spelling of James Zadroga's wife to Ronda (from Rhonda) since the identifying source, The New Yorker spelled it that way. More importantly, I changed the text in this article because it stated that needle marks were found on his body, which is clearly incorrect. The New Yorker states the marks were on her body. And really I don't think this should be included at all -the whole subject is hazy and doesn't have anything to do w/his direct cause of death, but won't remove it b/c I don't want to upset another editor. I'll watch this page and the article page for a while. If I see no objections in a month or so - I will remove this text altogether. Peace. 2/26/14 Geeze Loise - argh, I should have looked into the history first because the incorrect errors were caused by a vandal. I can't revert (undo) more than my own edits today, so will be back in 24h to fix this vandalism. Will then leave text in place as it was previous to the trickster. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.101.230.39 (talk) 03:57, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
