Hi, unnamed user! Thanks for your edits to the Death of Andrew Harper article. Unfortunately, they have been reverted. This is because murder is a charge that must be proven, and as the trial is ongoing (albeit on hold) we must not use the term "murder" prematurely. We may use the word to describe the court case (i.e. "person A is on trial for murder") but we must not define the circumstances as murder. As it stands, the title of the article—simply referring to the events as a death—is the most accurate we can currently be so please do not add the article back into the 2019 murders in the United Kingdom category. Of course, when the trial resumes and concludes, we may find that the name of the article (and the categories) change. Generally speaking, this all applies to the edit you made to 2018 Amesbury poisonings—while the poisoning of Sergei Skripal is (according to our article) being investigated as attempted murder, the investigation into the collateral death in Amesbury is "ongoing by the Police and the CPS, and further charges relating to [the death] would follow." Again, we should not describe these events as murder.

Please let me know if you'd like me to explain anything further, or if you'd like any other assistance in editing. Thanks, MIDI (talk) 15:18, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
