I have already removed the maintenance templates. Just a quick point, now that the article is in the mainspace, it is not your article, so open to editing by anyone. – ukexpat (talk) 20:59, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
- I have no idea why OrangeMike would have added those templates. Have you asked him on his talk page? – ukexpat (talk) 21:54, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
- To upgrade the classification you should probably as for the article to be reviewed by the relevant Wikiprojects by leaving a request at their talk pages: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Magic and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Visual arts. – ukexpat (talk) 17:05, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
Texarkana Moonlight Murders nomination
JeremeK, I had to revert your new nomination because it erased the old FailedGA template, which must remain, and was also not created using the GAN template, which meant it was incorrectly formatted in a number of ways.
Please take a look at Wikipedia:Good article nominations/Instructions, in particular the Nominating section, step 2, which tells you about pasting the GAN template onto the article talk page in order to do the nomination. The GAN template takes care of properly creating a "GA nominee" template with all the correct fields filled out: all you need to supply in the GAN template is the subtopic name. I would do it myself, but that would put my name in the nomination, and it needs to be yours. Best of luck with the new nomination, and remember to paste the GAN template at the top of the talk page, on a new line above the existing FailedGA template.

Moonlight Murders
I'm wondering what sources you have for "Texarkana Moonlight Murders", other than modern books that cite the wikipedia article. I was able to find sources with "moonlight murderer", but not "moonlight murders". Are the newspaper articles available some place? What do they say? I see your original stub had the "Moonlight Murderer", but it got lost at some point. Dicklyon (talk) 07:05, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- The term for the Texarkana killings was first published as the "moonlight murders" in a United Press wire in July 1946.
James Presley writes in his book, "Sometime over the years, decades afterward, far from Texarkana, someone labeled the crimes the 'Moonlight Murders'..." (this does not refer to the Wikipedia page).
These websites used this term before the creation of this article:
- http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/unsolved/texarkana/index_1.html
- http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=4478&type=Time+Period&item=World+War+II+through+the+Faubus+Era+%281941+-+1967%29&parent=&grandparent=
- http://zodiackiller.fr.yuku.com/topic/2461#.VKT3TXvgUk8
- http://www.thecabinet.com/darkdestinations/location.php?sub_id=dark_destinations&letter=p&location_id=the_phantom_killer_first_assault
- http://www.horror-movies.ca/horror_reviews_2595.htm
- http://www.thelightningbugslair.com/2008/11/turkey-thursdaythe-town-that-dreaded.html
It can be seen that this term was around and well-known before the Wikipedia page. And I'm way too unmotivated to read through all materials I have. JeremeK (talk) 07:38, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. No books, but better than nothing. Dicklyon (talk) 08:25, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- I went ahead and moved it again to a descriptive title, since your sources for "Moonlight Murders" are all about the book and the movie, and a few primary news sources. Most sources don't call it that. Your chaotic moves to other titles were not helpful. Dicklyon (talk) 06:24, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
- Two out of six sources were about the movie, and none about the book. What would you consider as "most sources"? You trying to change the title (when it doesn't even need it) isn't helpful. The term "Texarkana Murders of 1946" covers all murders in Texarkana in 1946, not just the Phantom murders. JeremeK (talk) 06:48, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
