Your edit on Black Dahlia
Hello, Contra. I had to revert your edit on Black Dahlia because it was unreferenced—it added disputable material to a page without adding or using an existing supporting reference. Please note:


 * Any factual claims likely to be challenged must be supported by a reliable source. It's the responsibility of the person making the change to provide in-text references where needed.
 * Wikipedia is not a source.
 * The "minor edit" checkbox must only be used for undeniably superficial edits—uncontroversial formatting corrections, spelling fixes, and the like. Per our policy, "Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if the edit concerns a single word . . . ." If you're not sure, don't tick the box.

Don't take my revert personally. Even though I undid your only change, I think you're off to a great start: your instinct is on point and the explanation in your edit summary was perfect, so I hope to see you around. If you have any questions, feel free to reply here or on my talk page. Thanks! Rebbing   talk   06:29, 13 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree with Rebbing, and would add that there is no contradiction in the article—Hodel and Rasmussen suggest that Elizabeth Short was killed by the same person responsible for the Lipstick murders, but that William Heirens was not the Lipstick Killer; they say Heirens's arrest and conviction for the murders was based on flimsy evidence and a false confession.
