Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Keith Zettlemoyer, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Inexpiable (talk) 21:26, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Leon Moser. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Inexpiable (talk) 21:26, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Be careful with criteria and sourcing

Sockpuppet investigation

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Lightiggy, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Apology

Ok first of all I apologize, you made similar edits to a known sockpuppeter and it has now been proven you are not the same person so sorry for that but it needed to be checked and confirmed. To answer you question though: The difference between the two is that the murders were separate. The easiest way of knowing is by referring to the Oba Chandler case. He killed four people but he is not technically a serial killer. The reason is because three of the kills were at the same time/location while the other one was separate, therefore, per the criteria, he only killed on two occasions. Beardslee, as far as I can tell, killed two of the victims in the same location and at the same time so therefore he has only killed on two occasions. The difference with John Ruthell Henry is he technically killed on three occasions: Killed victim Roddy in August 1975. He killed Suzanne Overstreet in 1985, kidnapped her son and killed him at a later time so technically it is on three occasions. If he killed Overstreet and her son at the same place/time then he wouldn't fit the criteria, which is exactly why Beardslee does not fit the criteria because he did that. Hope that clears things up/answers the question. Inexpiable (talk) 19:10, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

I've read over the case. It turns out I was wrong. I apologize profusely, he does technically fit the criteria because the two murders were indeed separate. I apologize sincerely. I've restored your edits. Inexpiable (talk) 19:25, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

In my defense the article does state they were on the same day as does this source: [1] but only when you read into the case do you find out they were a day apart. But I apologize nonetheless and will look into each case before doing anything from now on. 19:29, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

It's fine. Thank you for apologizing. Lightiggy (talk) 19:30, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi. I reactivated my Newspapers subscription because they are doing an offer right now. I clipped those pages for the article you wanted you can find them on the talk page linked here. Thanks. Inexpiable (talk) 08:31, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Here: [2]. Inexpiable (talk) 18:55, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

I've added it to the article under ref name=":3" / it also mentions Demetrius Hall was born in September 1975 in El Dorado. Inexpiable (talk) 19:04, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Manual of style

Please keep an eye on the manual of style rules. Whenever you add an entry to the List of serial killers in the United States add a space before each line. You'll see what I mean here: [3] That's how every entry is styled as in that list it is good to follow pattern. Inexpiable (talk) 09:17, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. I was wondering why you kept adding spaces. Lightiggy (talk) 14:17, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

It's fine this is very minor stuff. Your edits are good keep it up! Inexpiable (talk) 22:35, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

A whole bunch of clippings

Hi. In regards to the John Francis Roche article you wanted creating it's not something I tend to do unless I am interested in the case, and his case doesn't particularly interest me so you will have to find someone else to write it or consider writing it yourself and signing up to newspapers.com.

I can give you this though: I see you've updated the Charles Brown and Charles Kelley page. A while back I planned on doing this myself and made A LOT of clippings, but I could never get round to doing it. You can use some of them if you want. I actually made 27 so there's a lot of them. Feel free to read over them and use them in the article if you wish. Some of them have mugshots of both Brown and Kelley which you can use:

[4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30]

Please don't remove non-diffusing parent categories

I noticed that you removed Category:American slave owners from Marianne Celeste Dragon, calling it redundant [31]. However, its not redundant, as both race and gender are typically non-diffusing per WP:EGRS. Both categories are tagged with this notice: "This is a non-diffusing subcategory of Category:American slave owners. It includes American slave owners that can also be found in the parent category, or in diffusing subcategories of the parent." Effectively, this means that the Marianne Celeste Dragon should be in Category:African-American slave owners, and Category:American women slave owners and Category:American slave owners. From the edit history, it seems that you have done this several times without discussion the removal. Please review WP:DIFFUSE. It would be more useful to diffuse the pages from the category by state. Mason (talk) 03:08, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Your accuracy rate on categorization is unacceptable

Latest incomprehensible categorization that I have noticed from you: [32] There is absolutely nothing in the article that supports this. You're getting warnings about bad categorization decisions all the time. Please step away. If this went to ANI I would support a topic ban. (t · c) buidhe 04:41, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

He was part of the Ústredňa Židov, which was described as a collaborationist organization (albeit one that also simultaneously resisted). Lightiggy (talk) 04:43, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

That said, me categorizing him as "executed" was a mistake. My apologies. Lightiggy (talk) 04:47, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

No, there is literally no reliable source that says Frieder was a collaborator, nor does his article suggest such a thing. Reliable sources have been saying for decades that categorizing all Judenrat members as collaborators is not accurate. This is why mass recategorization based on poor understanding of the underlying topic should not be done. (t · c) buidhe 04:59, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

removing sources

Hi, I agree with your removal of the JVL source at Irgun and Lehi internment in Africa. However, if you don't also remove the text it was cited for it looks like the text is still ok. Please either remove the text sourced to an unreliable source or tag it with {{subst:cn}}. Thanks. Zero^talk 03:04, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Removal of categories

With respect, and assuming good faith for the time being, on what grounds does removing numerous names from the larger American Zionists category page because they were Hadassah members ease redundancy? Mistamystery (talk) 05:07, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

The Category:Hadassah Women's Zionist Organization of America members is already a subcategory of Category:American Zionists. Lightiggy (talk) 05:09, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
