Missing date[edit]

From some sources, He disappeared on Easter Day of 1967 which happened on Sunday, March 26. --203.147.0.48 18:19, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disappearance should be made into a separate article[edit]

That would address the "intricate detail" warning tag. The "callout" boxes with quotes attempt to ameliorate the "intricate detail" tag by summarizing content, but they make this section look like a sensationalist news article from Straits Times or some other newspaper. The material is rich and interesting enough to merit a separate entry/article. Martindo (talk) 00:44, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's happened: Disappearance of Jim Thompson (designer), although a more appropriate course of action would have been to greatly reduce the content and not spin off an article. This read like tabloid journalism that seeks to "tell a story", not a dispassionate encyclopedia article. --Animalparty-- (talk) 19:53, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

News Articles[edit]

These seem like unattributed citations, I will attempt to associate with the content but will delete the rest.NorthBond (talk) 00:21, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
