West Memphis 3: WikiProj

I am doing the WM3 for my WikiProject. I have had an interesting time doing this. I decided to do this topic because it was unlocked and had ALOT of problems on it. But, as I started checking the links at the bottom, I went to the page one day and it was locked. Curiosity got the best of me. So, I checked the discussion boards, low and behold, a series of EditWars had occured. Mainly between two editors, and they were certain that it was their way or no way. So, they debated why their story was right and why the other wasn't. They argued that certain sources were biased. It went back and forth for a couple of days then someone (I guess who is with Wikipedia) wrote a long message to the two and said the page would be locked. That was October 2 and today when I was doing my work, I saw that the lady decided that as long as people could behave she would unlock the page again. So, it has been a journey this far, I am sure that things will probably spiral again, but I am making my edits and things are going pretty well so far.
