Michelle Garvey

I came across this - it's a bit of a tearjerking seeing it - her loved ones searching for her many years ago and not knowing she was already dead - http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.garvey/2.6.8.12.71/mb.ashx

Paul Austin (talk) 09:45, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Very true. I always get upset when I see her morgue photo because it's so graphic. Thanks for the link. --GouramiWatcher^(?) 14:45, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Here's another page on Michelle with some useful information - http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/norwichbulletin/obituary.aspx?pid=169851773

Paul Austin (talk) 15:50, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

It was tragic coming across posts from years ago from Michelle's loved ones searching for her, not knowing that she was already dead. I notice that Michelle's family still live in the New London area, over thirty years later. Probably stayed in New London in case Michelle would ever come back. At least one family in my hometown whose child disappeared forty years ago, has kept their old house all these decades, just in case the daughter would one day come back.

DYK

May I recommend you to nominate the Murder of Michelle Garvey article for DYK. It is good work!--BabbaQ (talk) 16:48, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Of course! Thanks! --GouramiWatcher^(?) 16:49, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Detmold

Hi, if you can find an image of the Detmold child, please add it to the article. Always appreciated.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:51, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

reply: Favor?

I've made a comment. I'm not familiar with Pearl Lady, so i couldn't say much. Paul Austin (talk) 02:53, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

		The Content Creativity Barnstar
		For your hard work in creating articles on unidentified murder victims. — Daniel Case (talk) 03:44, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!--GouramiWatcher^(?) 15:03, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Editor's Barnstar
	Thanks for your help. To add to Michelle Garvey; her brother entered her in NamUs; submitted DNA; the profile was offline while they were working on getting the case number IIRC. It should be in her Websleuths thread. Her profile finally went online; a gal from WS had contacted NCMEC as well as the Jane Doe's medical examiner. AdvocateNJ (talk) 20:43, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Just added the info. Thanks! --GouramiWatcher^(?) 01:57, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Unidentified decedent

Hello! Your submission of Unidentified decedent at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! BlueMoonset (talk) 03:50, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Gourami Watcher, it's been over a week since this notification and since you responded to the request for a QPQ. Note that the same request was made on Template:Did you know nominations/Lyle Stevik, so you actually need to do two QPQs, one for each nomination. In that time, you've made well over a hundred edits on Wikipedia. It's time to give these nominations your attention if you wish them to run. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:11, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

I added a comment on Template:Did you know nominations/Fortifications of Malta and Template:Did you know nominations/Ion Agârbiceanu - would these be considered to be QPQs, BlueMoonset? I'm new to the DYK stuff, so I'm not sure. Sorry for the wait!--GouramiWatcher^(?) 15:24, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

No, comments do not count. You need to do a full review for it to be a quid pro quo (QPQ), covering all the criteria that show up above the edit window when you edit a nomination template (for example, newness, length, sourcing, hook facts in article and inline sourced, neutrality, close paraphrasing, image validation (if one with an image), etc., and give it the appropriate review icon and an explanation of what you checked and found. I strongly recommend that you read the DYK reviewing guide and also the DYK rules and guidelines (there's also a supplemental guide that explains the rules in more detail). Start with one review—when I started, I picked a subject I knew about, or one of the shorter articles, since it's easier to do the checks—and then when you have that in good shape, move on to the next. If you have any further questions, I'm happy to answer them. (I'd prefer it if you pinged me from here, rather than post talkbacks on my talk page. Thanks.)

Nom

I have nominated the article Ronnie Lee Gardner to appear at TFA at the main page. Take a look Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Ronnie Lee Gardner.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:39, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your input. Just to give you a heads up for an interesting article, Disappearance of Etan Patz. Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 10:07, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Please take a look at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Maggie Gyllenhaal as well. Appreciate it. --BabbaQ (talk) 22:35, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

And Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/P. K. van der Byl. Please let me know if you have future nominations that needs to be looked at. Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:22, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

DYK for Lyle Stevik

— Coffee // have a cup // beans // 10:27, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

How do I vote to keep Lyle's page? Hope I'm doing this right; I'm on my cell.BTW I left comments on Lyle's latest pic. Needs replaced (AdvocateNJ (talk) 18:42, 1 April 2015 (UTC)).

reliable sources

Hi Gourami Watcher, I've noticed in some the articles you work on that some of the sources you use to support your claims are dubious at best. I'm going to be making some edits to some of these articles, and I wanted you to understand why. Sites such as Listverse.com and Missingyou7.blogspot.com are not reliable sources, and although findagrave is useful for showing gravesites, the claims made on those pages are not reliable. For a source to be reliable, it needs to have some sort of editorial review, and it mustn't be primary or self-published material. The article Murder of Krista Harrison, for example, used [until I removed them] as sources: amymihaljevic.blogspot.com, mindhuntersinc.com, answar7979.50megs.com, and a youtube video of local journalist giving a lecture on the topic. Please review Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Let me know if you have any questions. Best, Kingturtle = (talk) 03:11, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

As for the source to "The Serial Killer's Disciple," the article was published in the magazine Cleveland Scene and the link goes to a mirror site, as after the author left the company, the article was removed. Should the citation be restored without the URL? --GouramiWatcher^(?) 03:46, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

You could try to https://archive.org/ and paste the URL into the Wayback Machine. You may be able to find an archived version there, and just use the link of the archived version. Kingturtle = (talk) 03:53, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi

Just pinging you of sorts... to let you know about the article Murder of Sherri Rasmussen that you might not have looked at. Quite interesting! Regards--BabbaQ (talk) 22:33, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Nick, I heard about the other two UID pages that are in danger of deletion and sent out a message on the Twitter account that I run for Lyle Stevik. I gave links to their Wikipedia pages for those who care about UIDs and want to help identify them. Transylvanian Thunderbolt (talk) 03:23, 4 April 2015 (UTC)Transylvanian Thunderbolt (talk) 8:23, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your support. This whole process is stressful for me and I could use all of the help I could get. Everyone can interpret Wikipedia's guidelines differently and nobody always agrees with this sort of thing. Thanks! --GouramiWatcher^(?) 03:34, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

• An article that might interest you is Murders of Eve Stratford and Lynne Weedon. There has been fresh appeals for information today or yesterday. It is interesting.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:29, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Murder of Sheree Beasley

Could you do me a favour and give Murder of Sheree Beasley some love and care? Paul Austin (talk) 14:17, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

@Paul Benjamin Austin: I'll be sure to check it out! --GouramiWatcher^(?) 17:21, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Renaming article

What if we renamed (moved) Justina Morales to Justina Morales killing? Would that satisfy? Yours, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 05:42, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes, although the preferred form would be Murder of Justina Morales. Daniel Case (talk) 03:56, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Hahnchen

He's doing it because he wants to win the debate. Feel free to point that out. Daniel Case (talk) 03:57, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: I have, but I'm not sure if an admin's comment would be taken more seriously. Would there be anything you could do (sorry for how cheesy that sounds)? --GouramiWatcher^(?) 04:13, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Well, it really doesn't matter to anyone but the closing admin. Did you include the diff from DRV where he complains about the 2nd AfD being rigged? Daniel Case (talk) 04:22, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: I found this revision to where they nominated the closer of the previous AfD, closest to a complaint. On the DRV it appeared that those who supported the early-renomination were doing so because I pinged the other users. Thank you for your patience. --GouramiWatcher^(?) 04:43, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

I just responded personally because in retrospect I was disgusted, and I have also cast a weak keep !vote. Daniel Case (talk) 04:45, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for thanking me on my comment which I why I feel bad for saying this. First, your writing in mainspace is amazing the article instantly grabbed my attention and seems very notable. Also the article was structure in away to make time lapse giving me the feeling that interest is ongoing. I also reviewed the previous near snow kept AfDs so I put in my two cents under the natural assumption that the nominator was saying WP:IDONTLIKEIT. But then, your article was so interesting I wanted to see current investigations or at the least extensive coverage over a period of time. I don't want to influence the AfD while it is on going. I think there are some topics I have that may interest you. I apologize but I am going refrain from participation, because of some issues I found. I'll discuss after the AfD closes in your favor. Valoem ^{talk contrib} 04:08, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Must say, its an interesting article still going with keep. Valoem ^{talk contrib} 16:57, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
