Something lacking on Wikipedia you maybe interested in writing about

As far as I can tell we do not have an article of List of unknown cause of deaths or a medical term on the matter. This appears to be far rarer than unknown decedents excluding unexplained infant deaths. What do you think? Valoem talk contrib 23:29, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

@Valoem: There is a list on unsolved deaths, if that is what you were thinking. I primarily wish to stick with working on UID cases for now, but I appreciate the suggestion. --GouramiWatcher(?) 01:14, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Little Miss Nobody (American murder victim)

I've given the American Little Miss Nobody murder victim her due - Little Miss Nobody (American murder victim). Paul Austin (talk) 15:30, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Alright! I just added a few sources and put it into my "informative murder pornpedia project." --GouramiWatcher(?) 18:25, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
Having created articles for Beverly Potts, Kylie Maybury and Sheree Beasley, I've been accused of having an obsession with dead girls. Paul Austin (talk) 19:51, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Murder of Sheree Beasley

(also informing fellow "Wikipedians that care about Sheree")

see http://www.heraldsun.com.au/leader/south-east/mornington-peninsula-unites-to-remember-rosebud-murder-victim-sheree-beasley-on-anniversary-of-her-death/story-fngnvmhm-1227412498816

It mentions the cemetery is buried in, among other things. Worth adding to the article? Paul Austin (talk) 19:26, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

@Paul Benjamin Austin: Of course! I'll add it! --GouramiWatcher(?) 19:27, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Article

If you find time for it I would appreciate if you took a look at the article Murder of Catrine da Costa. It will appear on OTD on the main page in a few days and you are great at crime articles so any help is appreciated. Thanks :)--BabbaQ (talk) 19:31, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

If you could please take a look at the article Helén murder as well, that would be appreciated. As it will appear on OTD next year. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 10:38, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Disappearance of Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon

Just to let you know that there's a new entry to our informative murder porn project. Disappearance of Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon. Paul Austin (talk) 20:57, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. There are similarities between the Ratcliffe-Gordon disappearance and the Beaumont children disappearance. Paul Austin (talk) 07:39, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Article

If you find time for it, please take a look at the article Steven Benson (murderer). His death was just announced and it is a pretty interesting case.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:04, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

List of unidentified murder victims in Pennsylvania

There's a lot of people that could be added from the Doe Network to the list. I'm not the best at formatting and adding images, but I'd be willing to attempt to fork over most of them over text-wise. The Swatara Case is my main local interest. Coolgamer (talk) 02:00, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

@Coolgamer: Hi - thanks for taking the time to add that case. With the other Pennsylvania cases that have yet to be added, I would advise that you would make sure enough information (such as four lines of text on their Doe Network profile) is available to add and that the text is put into different wording. I can take care of adding the image links! There are also loads of other cases in other states, such as CA, MI, FL, NY, TX, or just in the US as a whole. Feel free to add whenever you wish. --GouramiWatcher(?) 03:53, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

"Delta Dawn"

I came across the story of "Delta Dawn" the "strawberry" blonde toddler who drowned after being thrown from a bridge in MS (Mississippi?). They've done a couple of reconstruction photos in an attempt to find her identity and give her her name back. In the first one she has "blonde" blonde hair in a short style. The second reconstruction must have not been done by a woman because "Delta Dawn" has been given "strawberry" blonde hair but its much longer than in the first reconstruction and in a much more feminine style, and the forensic artist has given her glossy lips... unfortunately making it look as though she's wearing lipstick, rather unfortunate given the victim is a toddler. Paul Austin (talk) 02:38, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Probably a mistake done by the artist. I've noticed that a lot of forensic artists make the mistake of creating their reconstructions while wanting to make the victim appear to be more attractive. I think I read that the newest reconstruction of Delta Dawn might have been an age progression, but I'm not sure.--GouramiWatcher(?) 17:32, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
She's a toddler in both the ones i've seen. Unfortunately, in the second one, as i said, the artist has made her look more like a contestant on Toddlers and Tiaras. Paul Austin (talk) 22:16, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Take a look

at Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement/Nominations I have nominated the article Christopher Wilder for possible TAFI help.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:54, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Offending?

How exactly did I offend? 68.156.95.34 (talk) 02:46, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Oh, that. Well, I personally disagree with civility, but as the saying goes, when you're in someone's house, you play by their rules, even if you dislike them. Apologies. 68.156.95.34 (talk) 02:56, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
Well, I don't know enough about the murder to contribute significantly to that article. As for an account, I do have one, but I don't use it nowadays for reasons of my own. 68.156.95.34 (talk) 03:02, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

For your list

Murder of Bobby Äikiä.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:16, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Mr. Cruel

Just drawing your attention to the Mr. Cruel article. Paul Austin (talk) 21:01, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

And I want to draw your attention to the article Death of Aylan Kurdi. I have nominated it for ITN. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:27, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
And also the article Murders of Eve Stratford and Lynne Weedon as police made a fresh appeal for new information about the case today.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:59, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi

I have created an article about the Murders of Margaret and Seana Tapp. Please take a look.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:30, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

I just added some categories and will probably add more to the article in the near future. @Paul Benjamin Austin: Since this is an Australian murder, I suppose you may have some interest in it :) --GouramiWatcher(?) 00:51, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
Yes, basically I did a request by Paul Benjamin to create this article. I will also work on it sooner or later. Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 12:11, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: @Gourami Watcher: take a look at Easey Street murders. I could use assistance there. Paul Austin (talk) 08:56, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
@Paul Benjamin Austin: - Sorry for the late reply. I will take a look at it. Looks interesting.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:02, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Article

I just wanted to let you know about the murder of Kristina Wesselman. It was solved today with DNA after being cold for over 30 years. I think it could work as a really interesting article.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:54, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

About alledged vandalism

It is my understanding that you accused me of vandalizing the Death of Gareth Williams article. I would like to explain that my edit was done to remove a redundant citation. Specifically, under the "Investigation"-subsection, the same source (https://itvwales.wordpress.com/2010/09/06/more-details-released-in-mi6-worker-gareth-williams-death-inquiry/) was cited twice for the same claim (the "After launching an investigation, the coroner Dr. Fiona Wilcox said that there were no injuries on his body and no signs that he had been involved in a struggle; his body was also free of alcohol and common recreational drugs."-claim). I removed one of them because it was redundant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.115.81.90 (talk) 08:11, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

I need help saving Little Miss Nobody from deletion. URGENTLY Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Little Miss Nobody (American murder victim). Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 00:01, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

RE:RE:About alledged vandalism

I removed the redundant citation again and left an edit summary explaining the edit: "The same source was cited twice for the same claim. I removed one of them as it was redundant." Is that okay? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.115.81.90 (talk) 07:32, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Sounds good. Hopefully this will prevent any more misunderstandings.--GouramiWatcher(?) 21:14, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry

It's getting to me way too easily. Maybe i need a wiki-break. Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 03:37, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

@Paul Benjamin Austin: I know how it feels. After I was "trolled" last year, I took everything personally (especially since I strongly suspect there was a prominent personal attack and SNOW issue) it was very stressful. If you do take a break, I suggest you wait until the AfD is over with and try to stay as civil as possible while it stays open. --GouramiWatcher(?) 03:52, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
@Gourami Watcher: thank you. It'll be sad to lose Little Miss Nobody if it happens. Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 03:55, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you for the barnstar. Glad I could help with the Murder of Dawn Magyar article. I happened to see the TruTV program on her and, unlike many of the true crime TV programs out there now, it was actually an interesting case so I got "into" the subject. TheBlinkster (talk) 21:05, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Task force idea

As one of the very early participants at the death project - I believe your suggestion at boneyards talk page needs to be at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Death#A_suggestion - yes it is a good idea, lets see if we can get some people to help add it to the project JarrahTree 13:36, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi

Just watched a crime-docu about Gerald and Charlene Gallego, it is hard to understand what drove Charlene to join forces with such an evil man.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:14, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Erika Hill case

I noticed that the birth date given for her is obviously wrong (November 4, 1944) but I don't know how I could find the real date. Wahrmund (talk) 19:33, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Wahrmund It was a mistake when I copied the infobox code from a different page. I am not exactly sure if Erika's birthdate was published, but you could definitely try searching for it.--GouramiWatcherTalk 20:05, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
