Where is the dispute?
I'm generally looking for an Admin to watch the talk page on the article Red John - this article is virtually unsourced, for one thing, but some editors are making assumptions from their own judgement of the finale of season three. I can see this may get "ugly" and just want someone to ensure RS is at least talked about and that the article doesn't make assumptions over whether or not 'Red John' was killed on this episode. Pretty silly, huh?

What is the dispute?
Basically, the character of Patrick Jane shoots the character "Red John" three times at the end of the episode. He's certainly critically wounded, but it is not stated that he's dead. The series is known for its twists and turns - it could be that medical attention saves the life of "Red John"-we won't KNOW until Season 4's premiere.

What would you like to change about this?
I just want to make sure that statements that he's been killed are not put in the article without knowing for sure from some RS - which I have not been able to find on the web, not that that's proof one way or another. Consensus may be reached - I don't know - but I feel an Admin should pop in and take a look.

How do you think we can help?
Perhaps a reminder on OR & Synthesis and so forth?

Mediator notes

 * Having done a quick search on the topic on the web, I've seen a few articles that mention this character has actually been killed . What you make of these is up to you, I just thought I can aid with the matter. Happy to take on the case if really necessary, but talk page discussion should suffice for now.
