Fair use rationale for File:FredandRoseWest.jpg

File:FredandRoseWest.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a non-free use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Editing Talk: Rose West edit

Hello all! I am a student attending Indiana University of Pennsylvania. For my Eng 101 class, I am required to edit and revise a Wikipedia article of my choice. I've chosen this article because this is what I'm most interested in. Originally, I chose to edit the Fred West article, but upon reading over the article, there wasn't much for me to add. Upon reading the Rose West article, I noticed there was a lot of information that was missing from here. Throughout this article, I have added in information that was not included, added needed citations, and fixed grammatical errors. I tried the best I could to add important missing information and fix errors and add citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JCarter823 (talk • contribs) 16:39, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

News of identity change

I will suggest to not make any changes in the article to her apparent new identity. Her reported new identity is "Jennifer Jones", the only sources are The Sun and The/Daily Mirror. The Sun is deprecated, and Mirror needs backup from non-tabloid/independent outlets. Given this is also kinda WP:TOOSOON, it shouldn't be published until better consensus comes about. -- Tytrox (talk) 09:48, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rosemary West → Rose West – Per WP:COMMONNAME all news outlets have always referred to her as Rose. In the same way the Frederick West uses Fred. Rosemary should be the redirect 2A02:C7D:8A4D:2D00:8160:956D:26FA:D072 (talk) 15:58, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing about the victims?

Aside from two victims (Charmaine and her mother), and then much later, Heather, there's essentially no information here regarding the seven other murders they committed. What gives? 68.60.202.174 (talk) 10:19, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name of the room

In this article Rose's prostitution room is called "Mandy's room", the article about her husband calls it "Rose's room". Which one is correct? Glamourqueen (talk) 22:26, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of children

Can we have a list of the children and their year of birth (and maybe some information about their later life as far as publicly known)? While reading I always got confused about the who's who and how old they were during the different instances. Glamourqueen (talk) 22:45, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I incorporated the list in the article. Maybe this could be a starting point to focus the cluttered information about them in this and in the Fred West article in a more comprehend way. I guess it could be of interest for readers. (For clarification: I am just referring to what is publicly known about the children, not to invade any privacy.)
