I have already removed the maintenance templates. Just a quick point, now that the article is in the mainspace, it is not your article, so open to editing by anyone. – ukexpat (talk) 20:59, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea why OrangeMike would have added those templates. Have you asked him on his talk page? – ukexpat (talk) 21:54, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To upgrade the classification you should probably as for the article to be reviewed by the relevant Wikiprojects by leaving a request at their talk pages: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Magic and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Visual arts. – ukexpat (talk) 17:05, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Texarkana Moonlight Murders nomination

[edit]

JeremeK, I had to revert your new nomination because it erased the old FailedGA template, which must remain, and was also not created using the GAN template, which meant it was incorrectly formatted in a number of ways.

Please take a look at Wikipedia:Good article nominations/Instructions, in particular the Nominating section, step 2, which tells you about pasting the GAN template onto the article talk page in order to do the nomination. The GAN template takes care of properly creating a "GA nominee" template with all the correct fields filled out: all you need to supply in the GAN template is the subtopic name. I would do it myself, but that would put my name in the nomination, and it needs to be yours. Best of luck with the new nomination, and remember to paste the GAN template at the top of the talk page, on a new line above the existing FailedGA template.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Texarkana metropolitan area, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Broadway (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Moonlight Murders

[edit]

I'm wondering what sources you have for "Texarkana Moonlight Murders", other than modern books that cite the wikipedia article. I was able to find sources with "moonlight murderer", but not "moonlight murders". Are the newspaper articles available some place? What do they say? I see your original stub had the "Moonlight Murderer", but it got lost at some point. Dicklyon (talk) 07:05, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]


The term for the Texarkana killings was first published as the "moonlight murders" in a United Press wire in July 1946.

James Presley writes in his book, "Sometime over the years, decades afterward, far from Texarkana, someone labeled the crimes the 'Moonlight Murders'..." (this does not refer to the Wikipedia page).

These websites used this term before the creation of this article:

It can be seen that this term was around and well-known before the Wikipedia page. And I'm way too unmotivated to read through all materials I have. JeremeK (talk) 07:38, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. No books, but better than nothing. Dicklyon (talk) 08:25, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and moved it again to a descriptive title, since your sources for "Moonlight Murders" are all about the book and the movie, and a few primary news sources. Most sources don't call it that. Your chaotic moves to other titles were not helpful. Dicklyon (talk) 06:24, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Two out of six sources were about the movie, and none about the book. What would you consider as "most sources"? You trying to change the title (when it doesn't even need it) isn't helpful. The term "Texarkana Murders of 1946" covers all murders in Texarkana in 1946, not just the Phantom murders. JeremeK (talk) 06:48, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

February 2016

[edit]

Texarkana Moonlight Murders definitely does not need to list someone Social Security number. It adds nothing to the article, and is likely an invasion of privacy. Do not restore it again. Meters (talk) 22:19, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't understand then take it to the talk page. Meters (talk) 22:21, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Even if the person has been deceased for 70 years? I won't add it back, but it's been on the article for several years now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JeremeK (talkcontribs) 22:27, February 7, 2016‎
It doesn't matter how long it has been there, or if the person is deceased. It's unsourced trivia that adds absolutely nothing to the article (which is already extremely bloated in my opinion), and it's personal information which we should not publish. If you disagree then take it o the talk page and see if you can get consensus that it should be included. Just because someone else has published information does not mean that it's useful information for Wikipedia to repeat, or that Wikipedia should repeat it even if it were useful.
