Excerpt:

Excavators could have uncovered the skeleton of the lost English King Richard III. However if they have, exactly what should be done with the remains? That question is triggering contention amongst Richard III lovers, according to a brand-new report in the Wall Street Journal. The University of Leicester, which is overseeing the excavation and analysis of the remains, has jurisdiction over the remains, however various societies dedicated to the king have their own opinions. 2 teams, the U.S.-based Richard III Foundation and the Society of Friends of Richard III based in York, England, argue that the remains ought to be reburied in York, because Richard III was fond of that city, the Journal stated. The Richard III Society, which has been involved with the historical dig in Leicester that uncovered the remains, is formally neutral-- a position which itself has induced anger.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
