Washington Post article[edit]

This source from August 21, 2017 discusses John Patler in some detail, including his later life, and his son's career as a African-American studies professor. I'm guessing it's a more reliable source than Murderpedia, also. Grayfell (talk) 11:15, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Murderpedia[edit]

I have removed references to Murderpedia.org; it appears to be a self-published source, and under WP:BLPSPS, we cannot use self-published third party sources as sources for biographies of living persons. --Nat Gertler (talk) 06:15, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
