A quick first post:
Hello everyone
Is Wikipedia reliable on Randy Weaver and the Weaver family?

You mean this page? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Weaver

Probably fairly accurate, but I'd be careful about using Wikipedia as a primary source. It's quite good for getting a grasp on a subject though.

I somehow have a signed copy of Weaver's book on Ruby Ridge. it sits right next to the autobiography of one the snipers who was there, for balance.

Wikipedia isn't reliable full-stop: you'd be far better off refering to static sites, such as this one - crimelibrary.com/.../randy_weaver

Ha! So I guess there's quite a difference between the two versions?

Thanks - I'll get reading.

Possible there could be a link to this?

The docu never mentions Randy Weaver, just the stuff on re-interpretations of Christian thought made me think of the Weavers...

Jon Ronson's documentary "The Legend of Ruby Ridge" was a good summary, I think. You used to be able to buy a digital download of it directly from the production company, World of Wonder.

I'll have a look, thanks. The weavers are a bit of a black hole in terms of the time you can spend looking into it.

This is a good watch on the Ruby Ridge siege:
