[edit] Categories

Since the year of birth and year of death categories for Sarah Payne no longer apply to an article about her murder, they should proabbly be removed. However, since these cats are a useful way of finding the article (and since anybody looking for it that way would be looking for "Sarah Payne" and not "murder of . . .", a better place for them is on the Sarah Payne redirect. I'll put them there, but if anybody has any objection then by all means revert and say so. As far as I can tell, all other categories remain relevant to the article.--Jackyd101 23:32, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Having had a second look, I'll do the same with Roy Whiting, but some of those other cats are a little confusing. Since I'm not very clued up on this incident, I'll leave them for a more involved editor to deal with.--Jackyd101 23:34, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok, had a better look. Removed all the cats which dealt with people specifically and placed them on the redirects and then added three cats which did apply here. There perhaps should be more categories created (i.e. murders of children) which might be something for one of the Wikiprojects above to consider. If I'm mistaken in my actions, I apologise, but it does make the categories more relevant and neater.--Jackyd101 23:43, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unclear whether she was sexually abused

If information exists which indicates that she was sexually abused before she was murdered, this should be included in the article. This is an easy assertion to make, however, the article does not support such a conclusion presently. __meco (talk) 14:27, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
