Happy New Year!

Teahouse

Hello Davidgoodheart, you said you needed help at the teahouse - can I assist you? Pahunkat (talk) 11:03, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Pahunkat: Thanks for offering your help! For a start could you please add Vicente Zambada Niebla and Katherine Ann Power to the List of fugitives from justice who are no longer sought article. I have been adding multiple entries by myself, which I find very hard. Davidgoodheart (talk) 19:26, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
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. Pahunkat (talk) 14:11, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Pahunkat: Katherine Ann Power American fugitive who alongside Susan Edith Saxe was placed on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Most Wanted Fugitives list in 1970 who turned herself in to the police in 1993.
Vicente Zambada Niebla was wanted for trafficking more than a billion dollars' worth of cocaine and heroin and was captured on 19 March 2009 was arrested in Mexico City.[1] and extradited to the United States. Davidgoodheart (talk) 23:46, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Pahunkat: Hi, now that I have left you the information that you need could you please add those articles, I would really like that. Davidgoodheart (talk) 14:55, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
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 (talk) 16:39, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Pahunkat: Niebla was wanted since 2013. Thank you for editing. Davidgoodheart (talk) 23:14, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Pahunkat (talk) 10:00, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Pahunkat: Hi, here are three more entries who you could add to the List of fugitives from justice who disappeared: 1. The Bigfoot Killer is the name given to an unidentified American serial killer who raped and murdered seven girls and women in Detroit between February and October 1975, and has never been caught. 2. The Butcher of Mons is a media name given to an unidentified Belgian serial killer, who committed five murders between January 1996 and July 1997 in or near the city of Mons.[2] and has never been caught. 3. The B1 Butcher is an unknown serial killer in Namibia. The B1 Butcher murdered at least five women between 2005 and 2007, with all murders related to the National Road B1 and has never been caught. Davidgoodheart (talk) 23:22, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Pahunkat: Hi, how have you been lately? I could still use help some entries as well as two new things. Please contact me when you are able to. Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:52, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Pahunkat: Please add San Juan del Sur Psychopath to List of fugitives from justice who disappeared. 1. San Juan del Sur Psychopath is the name given to an unidentified suspected Nicaraguan serial killer, allegedly responsible for the deaths of 10 people that took place from 2000–2001.[3] He was never been caught and is still wanted to this day. Davidgoodheart (talk) 21:22, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Pahunkat: Hi, good job with your last edit. I was wondering if you could help me with rollbacking sometime. I will need to recover deleted articles to make some private wikis. Davidgoodheart (talk) 20:09, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Pahunkat: Could you please add Giovanni Strangio to List of fugitives from justice who are no longer sought. 1. Strangio was wanted for the Duisburg massacre on August 15, 2007, which made headlines worldwide.[4] and was added to list of most wanted fugitives in Italy as well as in Germany. Strangio was captured on 12 March 2009 after being arrested in Amsterdam.[5][6] Regarding rollbacking I thought that it could recover deleted articles, but I think that I was wrong. Davidgoodheart (talk) 17:54, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Pahunkat: Hi, I haven't heard from you for a bit, how is everything? Are you still able to help me with editing? Davidgoodheart (talk) 08:52, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Roger Kibbe

Roger Kibbe has been murdered in prison.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:13, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of people with given name Michael, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Hayes.

Please respond concerning your choice of references

Hi Davidgoodheart. This is my fourth time (previously: [1][2][3]) notifying you about your use of unreliable sources, after coming across your recent additions to John Middleton (cowboy). The refs you used there are not reliable. Geni.com is listed at WP:RSP, which you should be checking whenever you have the slightest doubt about a reference, along with searching WP:RSN where you'd have found two discussions on thefamouspeople.com as well. Please at least let me know that you have seen this notification. Thank you. --Hipal (talk) 17:12, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Hipal: Yes, I have seen your message. I am not very good at choosing sources, but sometimes there are only a limited amount of sources available, So I just use what I can find. I am not adding bad sources on purpose, so please don't thank offense to when I do this. Davidgoodheart (talk) 19:23, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
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. -- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 19:35, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ponyo: OK, I will keep that in mind. If I have doubts about a source perhaps then I can ask you if is suitable to use. Davidgoodheart (talk) 19:42, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Do you check WP:RS/P when you're unsure? Do you have a mentor?-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 19:47, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ponyo: No, I haven't checked WP:RS/P, but I can do so. What do you mean by mentor? Davidgoodheart (talk) 19:55, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
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.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 20:01, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for responding, Davidgoodheart. Ponyo has given you some great suggestions on how to check the quality of references. Good luck! --Hipal (talk) 22:44, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RE: I really need help with editing

I only edit pages around topics I am interested in. Missing person cases isn't something 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. Inexpiable (talk) 11:14, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi bro, can you please add Saif al-Adel to List of fugitives from justice who disappeared. He is a very senior member of al-Qaeda and he is believed to be the next leader of al-Qaeda after Ayman al-Zawahiri. Kiro Bassem (talk) 17:05, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kiro Bassem: I have now done just that. Davidgoodheart (talk) 10:24, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
