Burke and Hare
The primary reason I reverted your changes to this article have to do with a lot of stylistic changes that were not given direct sources, which is a standard requirement when making major changes, such as the spelling of a person's name, etc. As it stands, it is not at all clear where you got the content information that you changed. Other reasons concerned the embedded link in the opening sentence to a website that, by Wikipedia standards, is not a permissable external link. You also delinked names and terms that allow readers to access other articles (Robert Knox comes to mind). Some of the content in the article may have come from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica but not all of it. Also you need to be mindful that this is an article about Scottish persons, so British spelling should be observed. Other problems I note in going back through your revert, which should not have been done until you'd posted a note asking these questions, include spelling errors (Ptterson, thereafte) and a different spelling for Paterson/Patterson. Another thing that made me curious was the elimination of any reference to any victims as being prostitutes, although other sources do identify them so. You changed the reference to Hare and Margaret Laird from having a common-law marriage to directly saying they wed with no attribution, although other sources do say the relationship was common-law. These changes and discrepancies led me to decide to revert. Hopefully you can add references to support your changes and correct inconsistencies to avoid it being again reverted.
