User talk:Goat Hill Check

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Tony Fox (arf!) 21:40, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Please stop removing cited material from the above article. If you have references noting that the case is still before the courts, then add to the article with a reference. Otherwise, please engage in discussion on the article talk page if there are issues you feel need to be addressed. Tony Fox (arf!) 22:53, 12 May 2022 (UTC)


 * @Tony Fox On May 6, 2022, the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals ruled against Toforest Johnson on a claim of prosecutorial misconduct. The sources that are currently listed for the inaccurate information is based on two opinion articles. The information is available through the court system.

 * The note that the sources are opinion pieces is valid, and I've started a discussion on the talk page to see if that section can be fleshed out with better references. Tony Fox (arf!) 23:11, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * @Tony Fox I saw your comments. How long does the process take before a section is removed due to lack of verification? Right now it seems like, the section should be automatically removed because it's promoting a false statement when there is no proof. Tony, what is your role with Wikipedia? Do you have an official title or contact information? Goat Hill Check (talk) 23:23, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm a volunteer editor, same as you, I've just been editing for quite a while and know the processes. In this case, I want to give regular editors of the page an opportunity to review and comment prior to making changes; consensus is one of Wikipedia's key pillars, so allowing comment is key. Please feel free to comment at the talk page yourself to provide more information to regular editors. Tony Fox (arf!) 02:21, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
