: Most of the added material under the "fact" headings is merely talking about taking quotes out of context, not quote mining, and therefore should be removed.

I thought I made it very clear in the first paragraph - "The term seems to be used to suggest or claim that people have deliberately taken quotes out of context" - that ''deliberately'' is clearly an element of the charge. I actually think it's "deliberately or negligently" - at least that's how the actual case law discusses it - so I've changed it. The issue with quote mining is that it's a slang term for something with a longer name - "negligent misuse of authority." Should I include that?-[[User:PhoenixWright|PhoenixWright]] 23:33, 3 March 2008 (EST)
