Out of date

Out of date

This article is already out of date since they caught the serial shooter(s) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.54.15.191 (talk • contribs) 16:02, 5 August 2006‎ (UTC)[reply]

Not out of date

Actually, these are two completely separate cases. The Baseline Killer is unrelated to the Serial Shooter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.17.26.4 (talk • contribs) 13:51, 7 August 2006‎ (UTC)[reply]

FYI: Possible break in case

Phoenix police get possible break in case

Useful in improving/updating the article. Thanks. --129.130.38.93 17:31, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"believed to be captured" not "captured"

The first line was incorrect. The correct information is that the Baseline killer or rapist is believed to be captured, moving it to passive tense is "was believed". The man arrested has not admited or convicted of the crime. There might be proof of the crime but we don't have conclusive proof on the site nor a link explaining why it MUST be him, so for now I changed it to "believed to be captured".Kinglink 21:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clean Up Tag

I have added a clean up tag because I spotted two careless typographical errors in the first paragraph alone; and the other text I have examined in the article appears to be in need of proofreading and correcting. There seems to be a recurring problem with verb tense, as well as awkward phrasing. Just to pick one example, "On 4 September 2006, Phoenix police announced they've arrested a suspect. . . ." The word "they've" should not be used in a Wikipedia article; it is too informal. And, actually, the sentence would sound much better if rendered "On 4 September 2006, Phoenix police announced the arrest of a suspect. . . ." --Skb8721 21:51, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let's clean it up!

I hope people will continue to research and edit this article. I've been doing my best to clean it up, but there aren't as many sources as I had hoped. Any suggestions on where to look for more details? Newspapers are my number one source, but those are becoming repetitive. Any chance that anyone has access or could get access to any legal documents for this case or the Serial Shooter case?

Article Cleanup Co-Ordination Point

Cleanup Co-ordination

This article has recently been tagged as requiring cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.

The article may have been flagged as needing cleanup because it has been suggested that:

the article needs formatting, proofreading, or rephrasing in comprehensible English.
the article has multiple overlapping problems.
the article is very short and might need expanding, removal or merging with a broader article

For a full list of possible problems see Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

As part of the cleanup process, the automated bot PocKleanBot has generated this notice as a focus of cleanup efforts, and also contacted several contributing editors of the article to bring their attention to the problem. You should use this section to discuss possible resolution of the problem and achieve consensus for action. Only when there is a consensus that the article is now cleaned up should you then de-list it by deleting the cleanup tag from the article, this causes the article to drop off the monthly cleanup-needed list page.

Discussion

Meaning of the name

The article doesn't answer the basic question. Why is he called the Baseline KillerKinglink (talk) 20:09, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The killings happened off of Baseline Road from what I can remember. - Stephoswalk (talk) 19:15, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is correct, but I think we need this cited in the article. I can't find a solid link but someone who is more familiar with this case probably has something. It's just annoying as this is a great "first look" site, and this is something I feel should be on this site.Kinglink (talk) 22:48, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've added an explanation of the name to the opening sentence, although it might be worded a bit awkwardly. - Stephoswalk (talk) 02:21, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

www.markgoudeauinnocent.com

Is it entirely appropriate to mention/cite this website (www.markgoudeauinnocent.com) in regards to Mark's past "rape" charges considering that it was set up by his wife? It certainly doesn't seem neutral in that it states the "victim" is "unemployed" as thought that is pertinent and unless there is further evidence to support the site's claims I think it should be removed.

Image copyright problem with Image:Mark Goudeau.jpg

The image Image:Mark Goudeau.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Sourcing needed on the DNA matters

The article has a detailed attack on the state's DNA expert and testimony at trial. All of that needs sourcing. It appears to be accurate, but needs transcript page numbers, or cites from newspaper articles. As is, it is completely unsourced and original research, right or not.

Sentencing

He was sentenced to death: http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/30/justice/arizona-baseline-killer/?iref=obnetwork. 174.109.163.170 (talk) 13:10, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 21:55, 22 April 2013 (UTC) (non-admin closure)[reply]

Baseline Killer → Mark Goudeau – Shouldn't the article be changed to the person's name now that we know the person's name? Hoops gza (talk) 22:09, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support we did the same with the BTK killer and the Unibomber and I don't see anything different here. Barring good reason to doubt that this person is actually the killer I see no reason not to move the page.-174.93.164.125 (talk) 04:27, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
