Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that in this edit to Bruce Lindahl (criminal), you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   02:31, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Franklin Lynch (serial killer)


A tag has been placed on Franklin Lynch (serial killer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File source problem with File:10th victim in body bag.png
Thank you for uploading File:10th victim in body bag.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ✗ plicit  09:21, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Ways to improve Louis Gaskin
Hello, Mint69,

Thank you for creating Louis Gaskin.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

"Not a serial killer so needs more evidence of notability. Please provide more valid sources."

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with. Remember to sign your reply with. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Thank you for improving the article. However, I had to revert one of your edits as you have copied two paragraphs from an external source without modification. This is a copyright violation. Please next time provide prose in your own words.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:09, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Louis Gaskin


The article Louis Gaskin has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "No references showing notability. Non notable death row inmate amongst over 300 already there. Google search returned no results either."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:David Leonard Wood.png
Thanks for uploading File:David Leonard Wood.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Mint69! Your additions to Frank A. Walls have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:39, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Arohn Kee (serial killer).png


A tag has been placed on File:Arohn Kee (serial killer).png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it.

One of your recent edits will be removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information.

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Gerald Frank Stanley. You cannot claim that he admitted to a murder with a source that says no such thing. Meters (talk) 21:17, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Gerald Frank Stanley, you may be blocked from editing. Meters (talk) 21:47, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

My Mistakes, the article I sited saying he confessed is literally titled "Serial wife killer on death row offers info on where he buried body in exchange for execution date". So sorry for that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mint69 (talk • contribs) 21:52, September 20, 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Please indent your talk page posts.
 * 2) Pelase sign your talk page posts.
 * 3) Please don't raise the same issue in more than one place. As I said on my talk page, people on death row do all sorts of things. They didn't follow up, find the body, or convict him, so you cannot state that he murdered her, or give unsourced details of the supposed events. Meters (talk) 22:18, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at Gerald Frank Stanley, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ''You moved it back to article space, so it's up to you to ensure that everything is properly sourced. Since e it isn't I'm giving you your final warning. Once again, you are making claims about the disappearance of one of his wives without sources that back up your claim. all the source you supplied says about Diana Lynn is "Within months of getting out, his new wife, Diana Lynn, went missing in Tehama County."''

File copyright problem with File:“Big Mike” Terry.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:“Big Mike” Terry.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Hammersoft (talk) 12:30, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Gerald Frank Stanley
I've moved you article to draft space. It still has WP:BLP and referencing issues. Don't claim that he murdered someone without proof of a conviction. Your two sources contradict each other. Get more, reliable refs. Meters (talk) 22:01, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * You've moved it back to article space, but I've already found two problems. You made numerous unsourced claims about his involvement in a wife's disappearance. The source you cite simply says that she disappeared. Did you even read it? That's another BLP violation.  And once again you are missing the fact that one of the sources you cite clearly says that his first wife was  Linda Faith, not the woman he was first convicted of murdering. Similarly, it was his third wife who disappeared, not his second, and it was his fourth wife who he was also convicted of killing, not his third. Again, did you actually read the sources you are citing?
 * I don't think this is ready for article space. I moved it to draft space once to give you a chance to clean it up, but if you still don't see the problems you probably should not be writing Wikipedia articles. Meters (talk) 01:29, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Image uploads
You're still uploading non-free images of living people. Please stop uploading images until you understand copyright. The ones from San Quentin and similar are ok with that State of California free license, but the other ones aren't. You also might want to consider uploading the ones from California to Commons. ♟♙ (talk) 22:28, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes same as above. You can only add mugshots for people in prison based in Florida and California using the correct licensing, not elsewhere like Texas or Missouri. I had to flag two files you uploaded from these states. Inexpiable (talk) 07:50, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Blocked for sockpuppetry
 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts&#32;per the evidence presented at Sockpuppet investigations/Mint69. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

 * So, you were switching back and forth between accounts to make it appear as if more than one editor was making the edits. That's exactly why we don't allow users to have more than one account unless they are clearly identified as being the same person. Meters (talk) 03:27, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Exactly why I said, "take this explanation as you want". Not hear making excuses, but to ask for possibly another chance. Mint69 6:34, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
