Talk:James Randall (murderer)

Page moved

... from James Randall (serial killer) to James Randall (murderer), seeing as two kills doesn't (technically) make him a serial killer. There was a consensus for this during the most recent AfD debate. - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:41, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Discussion with Terry-Jo Howard

I was today contacted on my talk page by a Wikipedian claiming to be Terry-Jo Howard, a lady named in the article. For the purpose of transparency and of improving the article, I copy that discussion below. - DustFormsWords (talk) 22:59, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Message from Terry-Jo Howard

My name is Terry-Jo Howard and I am the lady in the articles. There seems to be some discrepancies in the article. I wish that I had been part of the discussion. Jimmy was not released from prison he was on work release he skipped out on work release and then came to Miami to work after Hurricane Andrew. I met him after that when he came to the Tampa Clearwater area. I was a prostitute when I met him. He picked me up I believe to kill me. I was so causious that I think that he was amused by me. Then when I told him that I was sick of the life and wanted to get clean, he said I could stay with him. I got clean on his living room floor where I was sick for several weeks.

I can tell you many thing that were never told or written about. I was there. I know how these women died, what they say in his eyes before their last breath as he chocked me on the day of the OJ vertic. They tell me that although they can not prove it that he probably had killed me that day and then accidently revived me by raping my body so violently that it started my heart again. They told me this because my eyes were full of blood for 6 to 8 weeks after this incident.

My spelling is bad and I am not well educated but I would like to be included in any discussion on James M. Randall. Did you know that his real name is Michael James Randall?

Sincerely,

I responded to the above message on Terryjohoward's talk page. A copy of that response appears below.

Response by DustFormsWords

Hi Terry-Jo. Thank you for the message you left on my talk page about the article James Randall (murderer). I realise this is a matter you are personally involved in so you may find the following information useful:

• Wikipedia is very keen to make sure that information about living persons is accurate, and sourced to reliable, independent sources. If you see information on this, or another article, about a living person which is not attributed to a reliable, independent source, you may delete it immediately. If you are not sure how to do this, request the help of another Wikipedian through their talk page, like you did on mine. The Wikipedia policy on biographies of living people can be found here.
• As someone involved in this matter you are in a unique position to help improve this article. However, Wikipedia prefers people with a conflict of interest in the article to not edit it directly (see the relevant policy, WP:CONFLICT). What you can do to help improve the article is to discuss it on the article's talk page, and draw our attention to reliable sources we can use to improve the article.
• While you may think that you yourself are a reliable source on this topic, you may be surprised to find under Wikipedia policy that you're not! (See WP:RS). To improve the article, we need information that has been published in independent sources (such as newspapers or books). If you are aware of anywhere you have been interviewed or written about, or of court transcript you can direct us to, that would be of huge value - but sadly we can't amend the article just on your direct information.

I hope that the information above helps you to help us improve the article about Mr Randall. If you have any further questions feel free to ask them on the article's talk page (which I watch), on my talk page, or on the administrator's noticeboard (where you can get help from the most experienced Wikipedians). Best wishes. - DustFormsWords (talk) 22:54, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

See Jimmy Randall

I added a link to this page and the Jimmy Randall page. I am not sure if I did it correctly. Paul, in Saudi (talk) 05:35, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
