Published mirrors
David - building on our earlier conversation, it looks like you're adding mirrors again at
Kemar Jarrett. Note that there are several publishers that copy Wikipedia articles in fake "books" and then sell them. "Books LLC" and "General Books LLC" are two such publishers. Sometimes, when they're listed at bookstores, they clearly note this, such as that listing at abebooks which says "Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia". Other sellers are very deceptive about this. In every case, if you actually read the book, they give clear attribution. I assume you're adding these references after carefully reading the material, and not just adding refs based on the title of the reference?
Kuru(talk) 20:16, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
@
Kuru: I was trying to find other sources than peoplepill and had no idea that I was using "fake books" that contained Wikipedia info.

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to
Vesna Vulović, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's
categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's
verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. While the "unsolved murder" aspect is debatable (Referring to Vesna Vulović herself or the crash? If the former, do you have a source?), the category you added refers to Unsolved Murders in the United States.Paris1127 (

Hi David. Just to follow up on Cullen's note above,
Dorothy Kilgallen has seen a lot of attempts to insert fringy conspiracy theories and works promoting them into the article. It's been an ongoing headache and a lot of experienced editors have the page on their watchlist. I am quite sure you were not deliberately trying to promote conspiracy theories there, but be aware that just because something is on the web does not make it a reliable source. And this website is definite not RS. It is
WP:FRINGE and its purpose is, at least in part, to promote conspiracy theories about her death. if you have any questions about editing that page and whether something belongs there or not, drop me or a Cullen a line first. Thanks... -

Davidgoodheart (

If you are arguing that the article is a duplicate of two other pages, and this page has no information not found on the others, you can always just boldly blank the article and redirect it to whichever page is the best target. If there is some material that is not found on the other pages you can propose the page be merged. It's a lot easier than AfD. If somebody objects, and you still think the page should go, then you can always send it to AfD again. And on a side note you really should try to activate Twinkle. It's not hard and it will make your editing a lot easier. -

Quick info
Getting started
To enable Twinkle on your account and receive any future updates automatically, you can simply enable the "Twinkle" gadget in the
Gadgets section of your Preferences page. (Don't forget to click "Save" at the bottom of the list of gadgets!)
Twinkle is under active development, and we generally fix bugs reasonably quickly. If you find a bug, please help out by reporting it at our
GitHub repository (you will need to have a GitHub account). If you don't want to create a GitHub account, or you have a request for a new feature that could be added to Twinkle, you can ask at
the talk page.
Notes
If your account is very new, you will not be able to use Twinkle. You need to be
autoconfirmed (at least four days old and have ten edits) to enable the Twinkle gadget.
It is no longer possible to use Twinkle on
Internet Explorer (IE) versions 10 or earlier. If you are still using one of these IE versions, try switching to another browser such as
Mozilla Firefox or
Google Chrome, as Twinkle is functional on most other modern browsers (including modern smartphone browsers).
Some browser add-ons may interfere with Twinkle. If Twinkle still does not load after following the instructions above, consider disabling one or more of your add-ons and then restarting your browser.
If you're using a
touchscreen device, you may need to tap and hold the "TW" button in the Vector skin to show the Twinkle menu.

Hello David- Below are a few editing suggestions to make it easier for you and others to collaborate on the encyclopedia. Please preview, consolidate, and summarize your edits:
Try to consolidate your edits, at least at the section level, to avoid cluttering the page's edit history; this makes it easier for your fellow editors to understand your intentions, and makes it easier for those
monitoring activity on the article.
The show preview button (beside the "publish changes" button) is helpful for this; use it to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits.
Please remember to explain each edit with an edit summary (box above the "publish changes" button).
Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions.

Gimmicks
I started cleaning out the
Category:Professional wrestling gimmicks. Keep in mind that it says "This category lists professional wrestlers who were not individual people, but a gimmick and fictional characters played by many people in professional wrestling". I didn't realize it was you that added this to most of the "individual people" articles until I got started. In any case, please only use this for character-centric articles. Almost every single wrestler ever has had some sort of gimmick at some point in their career, the category would go in every wrestler article if the criteria was that loose. Also, when the "Fictional Russians" or "LGBT characters" subcat is used, you don't need to use this one too.

Davidgoodheart, if you are not able to differentiate between a reliable source and an unreliable one, you need to cease adding citations to articles until you are able to understand the difference. While your intentions are good, just "using what you can find" is not acceptable under our policies and guidelines. --

If you have difficulty determining whether a source is reliable or not, you should definitely be checking that link (as
Hipal has advised above). If the source does not appear anywhere on that page, or if you're still uncertain, you can ask at the Teahouse or
Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard.--

Thanks for responding, Davidgoodheart. Ponyo has given you some great suggestions on how to check the quality of references. Good luck! --

RE: I really need help with editing
I only edit pages around topics I am interested in. Missing person cases isn't something that I care to update, there are pages on this site in need of updating far more than that which I am more interested in so I am focusing on these areas instead.

List of fugitives from justice who are no longer sought
Hi. I've added the entry you requested. You may wish to check the actual year he became a fugitive is correct as the main article is imprecise as to the actual year he became a fugitive.--

Sorry, but do you think you'd be able to write a short description of what they've done as per the rest of the entries? I'm not the best at skim-reading through articles.

Apologies, for some reason I didn't receive the initial ping.
Susan Edith Saxe is Done, however I was unable to confirm the year in which Niebla was wanted from (though I can find when he was arrested) - could you please check if it is correct? I'd recommend using the visual editor to edit tables if you're having trouble.

Pahunkat: Hi, thanks again for your help. Is it okay that next time that I ask you to add entries to a list that you would be able to get the information from the article that needs to added. For me to supply all that information takes almost as long as it does for me to add an entry by itself. This would really speed up the process of me getting other articles added to the list, which would make my job a LOT easier.

Our arrangement
Hello Davidgoodheart, we've had an arrangement for the past few months where I've been helping you to add articles to several lists on request. Unfortunately, I've decided that I don't think that I can continue this arrangement in the future. The main reason for that is my work patterns and real-life commitments have started to vary - some times I have lots of time to contribute to Wikipedia, but at others I just don't have time to spend longer periods of time here and can only make the quick semi-automated edit or two. I've come to notice that this probably hasn't been ideal for you neither - whilst you've been able to give multiple entries per time to other users in high-frequency, users like me have often taken a couple of days just to get round to adding one or two entries.
Apologies for any inconvenience that this brings, I hope that what I've done has been helpful to your aim of expanding the lists. Thank you for the work you do here :-)

This article is not sufficiently populated. Did he first become a fugitive in 1962, and last in 2020? Some articles read like fanzines or a collage of varying degrees of sensationalism. ("After he was arrested a crowd of schoolgirls gathered at the police station with cards saying "I love you" on them.")--

@
Kieronoldham: Since the last time that he was wanted is 2020, you can add him by that year.

Added as requested,
Davidgoodheart. You may wish to verify the actual year that he became a fugitive though, given his extensive background in extremism.--

I know this is from April, but I see you left a message on Copper1993's talk about an AfD he might be interested in. I don't know how many people you told. Be careful as in some cases, if you tell a number of people, it could be considered canvassing leading to a myriad of results other than a keep or delete. I made the mistake of telling people to make their thoughts known on something. That is
WP:CANVASS. Basically, it's a notification that is sometimes done with the intention of influencing the outcome of a discussion in a particular way, and is considered inappropriate. It can be seen as disruptive to consensus discussion. Not saying that's what you did. Just want you to be mindful of that.Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 12:41, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fugitives from justice who are no longer sought until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
Hello, after
