Untitled[edit]

Citation Add fail: I attempted to address the "citation needed" note on the location of Newton Earp's grave by applying the Find-a-Grave link that already exists under External Links as a citation. I was unable to do this without mucking up the page (I've been away from editing for a couple of years) so I had to revert. However, I believe that since the Find-a-Grave link is in fact on the page required citation therefore exists and I'll see if I can remove it without severe style damage.

Hi, McGehee. For your information, Find a Grave is not considered a reliable source in most cases. It's OK for an External link, just not anything in the body of the article itself. GenQuest ^{"Talk to Me"} 00:29, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

On what bases is Newton Earp notable? He is just the half-brother of Wyatt, Morgan and Virgil, who are notable in their own right. Being a relative of a notable person does not make you notable. Wikipedia does not believe in notability by association. So, why does he deserve an article? Tony the Marine (talk) 23:27, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Civil war rank?[edit]

This says he mustered out at corporal, then later says he made it to 4th Sergeant? 2603:7000:483F:75E5:5D0:B3BF:5736:96D7 (talk) 02:58, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
