Possible new article

Is it worth starting a Murder of Denise McGregor article? Here are some possible sources that mention her case - (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/leader/news/unsolved-melbourne-murders-you-may-never-have-heard-about/news-story/009fbf589c7cafa2d657c396db285a33) (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/law-order/father-anthony-bongiorno-linked-to-1980-bookshop-slaying-of-maria-james/story-fnat7jnn-1226600084256) Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 09:12, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

@Paul Benjamin Austin: I'd recommend finding more sources for the case. What you have already is a good start, but it would be best to have as many as possible to ensure it doesn't get nominated for deletion.--GouramiWatcher^Talk 00:37, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi

Take a look at the article about Hilda Nilsson. Any Help is appreciated. Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 00:17, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Would you be willing to help me with something?

According to my talk page, we had a discussion back in September. Would you be willing to edit certain locked articles for me? I do, of course, intend to give arguments for why you should edit said articles. Specifically, would you be willing to remove redundant citations from locked articles for me? The articles I would like you to edit for me are, specifically, the Vladimir Lenin article and the Death of Osama bin Laden article. In regard to the Vladimir Lenin article: Within the "Red Terror"-section within the "Lenin's Government"-section, the same source (The Anatomy of Revolution Revisited: A Comparative Analysis of England, France, and Russia. Bailey Stone. Cambridge University Press, 25/11/2013. p. 335) is cited twice for the same claim (The "Estimates for the total number of people killed in the Red Terror range from 50,000 to over a million"-claim). In regard to the Death of Osama bin Laden article: Within the "Allegations against Pakistan"-section within the "Role of Pakistan"-section, the same source (www.indianexpress.com/news/did-pakistan-army-shelter-osama/784511/0) is cited twice for the same claim (The "Critics cited the proximity of bin Laden's heavily fortified compound to the Pakistan Military Academy, that the U.S. chose to not notify Pakistani authorities before the operation, and the double standards of Pakistan regarding the perpetrators of the 2008 Mumbai attacks"-claim). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.115.81.90 (talk) 08:23, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

I appreciate you asking me, but I generally stay away from the topic that those articles belong to, they are out of my expertise. If you create an account, you could actually do the edit yourself, since the semi-protection level bans only unregistered contributors. There is also an option to make an edit request on the talk pages for the given articles if you prefer not to register for an account. Thanks! --GouramiWatcher^Talk 23:23, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Murder of Denise McGregor created

Found an article from the time - looks like it made the front page. Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 10:32, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi

Take a look at this Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan nom that I just made for this crime article to appear at the main page. Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 01:21, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Murdered Israeli teenagers

Why did you list the murders of Gilad Shaar and Naftali Fraenkel in the List of Murdered American Children? It seems they were both Israeli citizens. Wahrmund (talk) 20:53, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

@Wahrmund: Fraenkel held duel citizenship of both Israel and the US. Shaar doesn't appear to, so I will remove him from the list. Thanks for pointing that out.--GouramiWatcher^Talk 03:05, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Please take a look at the article about Glenford Baptist. Any help is appreciated.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:08, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Size of photographs

Please do not reduce the size of photographs, as you did with Eklutna Annie. Readers prefer large photographs, and under Wikipedia guidelines they may be as large as 400px. Wahrmund (talk) 16:09, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

@Wahrmund: The image should still wrap reasonably within the text of the article. Eklutna Annie's page is not very lengthy and once images begin to obstruct headers (such as the "Reference" or "See Also" section) it tends to give an unkempt and disorganized appearance.--GouramiWatcher^Talk 03:54, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

• The photograph in question is on the right side of the page. Therefore there is zero chance that it will interfere with section headings. Wahrmund (talk) 21:37, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

@Wahrmund: From my computer, I'm seeing the headers for "Investigation," "Aftermath" and "References" being disturbed. The list of references also is pushed over to the side. Perhaps if you're using a device with a different size than mine, there might be a reason why we have two separate opinions. Otherwise, I would be more than happy to go for a Third opinion on this. --GouramiWatcher^Talk 23:21, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

I think that someday Wikipedia is going to have to decide whether they want to serve people who read Wikipedia on computers or people who read it on other, much smaller, devices. As we see, the two are incompatible. Wahrmund (talk) 16:58, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Long Beach Jane Doe

When editing this article, I was concerned to group like facts together. I see now that you have undone this. Wahrmund (talk) 16:01, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

@Wahrmund: I strongly believe that the information needs to be grouped together in paragraphs and not with single or few lines of text. I'm glad you're going out of your way to work on these articles, but if you're going to reorganize the page, make sure you avoid making it appear like a bullet list (despite that the absence of actual bullets [*] have been added ). I would recommend grouping sentences in categories to make up paragraphs (such as the height and weight measurements, hair color, race and clothing into one and the clothing, jewelry, etc. in another. I don't mean to sound ungrateful or like a troll, but I would really appreciate if this could be improved. Thanks! --GouramiWatcher^Talk 00:36, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

I do so appreciate your advice. Wahrmund (talk) 19:56, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Murder of David Stack

Could robbery have been a motive? also "carried no ID" - but Tammy Alexander's ID was removed by her killer when he went through her pockets after he killed her. It's more than possible that Stack's ID was removed by his killer(s) too. Also should it be pointed out in the article that is is more unusual for a male hitchhiker to be the target of nefarious people, compared to female ones?

Wow. Never thought that case was going to be solved. I'll take a look at it tomorrow.--GouramiWatcher^Talk 05:09, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Re: Abduction_of_Kamiyah_Mobley

I just reverted your claim that she contacted authorities herself. Believe it or not, my local news station stated that as well, so I believe she actually did, however, to put that in Wikipedia, you'd need a reliable source that says she contacted the authorities, the source you're using is reliable, but doesn't say she contacted the authorities herself, so even though I believe that she did, and heard that she did on my local news (I assume you did as well ) it cannot be included in that article. If you can find a reliable source, that's different, but as it stands now, it cannot be included. KoshVorlon} 15:18, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Ashlee martinson

Ashlee was born in 1998. Why do you keep changing it back to 1997?

Ashlee is my best friend and I just spoke to her last night in person. She is baffled as to why you made a Wikipedia page on her and told me it was satirical. And more baffled why you are reporting false things on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AishaZain (talk • contribs) 23:40, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Hey, Some details on your wiki about ashlee are actually incorrect and not facts. Would appreciate if you could correct them. Although you may feel they are redundant, they are not. AishaZain (talk) 17:11, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

The article was created because Ashlee made international headlines after the murders were committed and out of my own interest in the case (not against her in any way). All of the information present in her article is based on information reported by the press and other sources deemed reliable.--GouramiWatcher^Talk 05:00, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Bella Bond murder case

Just wanted to say I think you did a fantastic job with this article. I created and wrote an article about a murder victim once myself (see here). Its the article i'm most proud of writing. It was very difficult to write at times due to its content; I found myself becoming quite emotionally connected to the subject. Anyway I think you're doing a great job with writing about murder victims. Let me know if you ever need such an article peer reviewed. I'd be happy to help. :) Freikorp (talk) 12:43, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Re decedent list

Do you think it's worth adding a "Date found" column to List of formerly unidentified decedents? Some of these people would have been found some years after their death. (Alternatively, one could append (found 19xx) in the year of death column.) Miracle Pen (talk) 08:48, 12 May 2017 (UTC) @Miracle Pen: It could definitely benefit the list.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Bella Bond Baby Doe.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Bella Bond Baby Doe.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

• state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
• add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Murder convictions without a body

Hello, I see you were the original creator of several "articles" about missing American children cases that later resulted in murder convictions without a body, that were nothing but redirections to the article list of murder convictions without a body. Examples of such articles are Thora Chamberlain, Lauryn Dickens and Shemaeah Gunnel. You should know then, that the article "list of murder convictions without a body" has since been trimmed of all entries that don't link to a separate article. As a result, we have now a bunch of articles redirecting to an article that has zero information on their subjects.

I kindly request you to create text for these articles so they can be included and linked to in "list of murder convictions without a body", rather than the other way around; or failing that, that you start the process to have these empty redirects deleted because they are just filling space in Category:Murder convictions without a body. Recently, I put them up for speedy deletion myself, only to see all the changes reverted under the claim that you can't speedy delete an article that has been in Wikipedia for 2 years. Even though that article was nothing but a redirect and a bunch of categories in the first place. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Menah the Great (talk • contribs)

• I have deleted these although technically you used the wrong speedy tag - {{db-user}} is for use in the user and user_talk namespaces. You should have used {{db-author}}. But as Menah says, why not write these cases up and add them to the "list of …" article? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:53, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
