Remove resting place

@Nikkimaria: Wondering why you removed the resting place in this edit? Is it because it didn't have a reference? This existing reference provides the basis for that resting place. I can add it if it fixes it. Nasa-verve (talk) 21:31, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like findagrave.com is down, but I have to believe it won't last long. UPDATE: looks like they got DDOS'd, see their FB page for update: https://www.facebook.com/FindAGrave Nasa-verve (talk) 21:33, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Findagrave is not considered a reliable source. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:10, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Nikkimaria: Even when they have a picture of the tombstone actually used and the tombstone actually matches the style of all others in the cemetery? Nasa-verve (talk) 22:24, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yep - attempting to match tombstone style to determine location is not the way to go. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:26, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
