It's not out of context: it's copyrighted, and it doesn't "significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic", nor would its omission be "detrimental to that understanding." It has been used as decoration, and doesn't add anything to the article that can't be done with words.—Kww(talk) 23:33, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
G'day KimChee.
With all due respect I'd like to inform you on some info regarding Joran's mother's maiden surname, as I don't want to get to both of us involved in edit warring.
Her biography can be found on her own site here; . I know that's not the type of reliable news source you'd prefer as a credible reference, but the I'd like to point out some as logical as 1 plus 1 makes? She's originally from Arnhem, The Netherlands, indeed the same as Joran's place of birth, and she's about the same age as his late father. Aruba roughly has 100,000 inhabitants [as per 2009], and you'd have to agree that the chance of there being another Anita van der Sloot residing on Aruba is quite slim, as in equal to nil.
Apart from this I have a far-far-off acquaintance who personally met her way back when, even before Joran was born, and his - shall we say? - "first hand" information on her is the last type of info either you or Wikipedia would accept and include as a reference worth publishing.
Best of greetings and keep up the good work, Qwrk (talk) 19:24, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Could I ask you to be cautious in adding material to the NH article? We need a minimum of information in this one, more can be read in the VDS article. Many thanks,--Wehwalt (talk) 22:41, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

One of the criticisms when we were building the Holloway article is that too many sentences began with "On Month Day,". We consciously mixed it up (same thing for how paragraphs begin). I think there is something about writing an article about events that come out in dribs and drabs over a long term, because you seem to do the same thing. Suggest a similar remedy, sometimes bury the date in the sentence or begin with the event that happened on that day, it isn't difficult. Just a suggestion.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

The date, length and hook of the expanded article of Harry Yount has been verified. However, the image presently at Commons does not match the NPS source you originally specified. Do you know where the current image came from? KimChee (talk) 23:52, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi again I have just started to read about a very interesting and notable crime case from Australia in the 1890 its about Sarah and John Makin who murdered infants that they had been paid to look after from young women who couldnt take care of them. According to the text it was because of this case that legislations about childcare was changed in Australia so it has had an effect on the country politically and socially. So I was wondering if you would like to make atleast a stub about the case in question, if you have the time. Some sites about the case is found here and here. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:42, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Please consult others, but let's agree on what the question is. The question is if there are three headquarters buildings all with a common mailing address 320 First Street, but three different street addresses: 320, 400 and 500 First Street, can we show a picture of one of the buildings with sources that may be referring to the mailing address rather than the street address of Levy's particular building.
I see people talking past each other on this. Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 05:09, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you have expanded the Chandra Levy article alot, and made it to GA level as I supported!. I would just like to suggest that you make a DYK nomination from some part interesting part of the Levy article. As you have expanded it, it will be I guess OK to add a DYK nomination line. Just a suggestion. Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:11, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Im not saying I will , but If I was to nominate the Oba Chandler article for FA do you think it stands a reasonable chance of being Supported for it?. I personally find that the overall prose,length and sourcing are up to FA standards and when looking trough the arguments for not promoting it in an earlier FA nomination started in 2008 by some user, all the problems raised that time has been taken care of since I see. But I dont know maybe im bias because I personally find the article very good.Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:28, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
