Wikipedia Page for Deceased Felon
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I want a full-length Wikipedia article that documents a now-deceased murderer. The page must spotlight the criminal dimension of his life: the brutality of his first killing, his capture, and the painstaking—yet still unfinished—efforts authorities undertook to match unidentified remains to his confessed victims, the article should include his childhood.
You will need to:
• Draft the article in a sandbox so it can later be moved live without triggering deletion flags.
• Open with a short, fact-packed lead section, follow with a background on his childhood, then develop separate, well-sourced sections for the first murder, subsequent crimes, capture, confessions, trial, imprisonment, and death.
• Insert a clearly labeled placeholder table (or collapsible box) where a spreadsheet of potential victims can eventually sit; the content must remain deliberately ambiguous because most bodies are still unnamed.
• Anchor every claim to reliable, verifiable sources—newspaper archives, court filings, or FOIA releases. I do not yet have these references, so part of the assignment is tracking them down and formatting them in proper citation templates.
• Respect Wikipedia’s core policies (NPOV, Verifiability, No Original Research) while maintaining a tone that underlines the criminal aspects rather than human-interest sentimentality.
Acceptance criteria
– At least 15 high-quality citations, a balanced infobox, and correctly applied categories for “American serial killers,” “Prisoners who died in custody,” etc.
– Separate, clearly written subsections on the first murder and on his capture, each with inline citations.
– A placeholder victim list implemented as a table or notes section, marked as still under investigation.
– Article passes the basic, automated checks in WikiProject Biography / WikiProject Crime.
If you are comfortable sourcing tough-to-find material and navigating Wikipedia’s policies around convicted felons, I’d like to work with you.
