Sources don't exist! edit

I have done a research about every source but I have never found this story. I also searched for any clue in Arabic references and I didn't find any source for this story. Is it a made up story?! We had a discussion about this here Talk:Taiz#Notable Crimes or History Section? --شرعب السلام (talk) 22:15, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

The story may be made up, but there's a reason the sources are offline. The person who created the article, Lord Gøn, quoted in this text, says the following: During my research I have only found three sources mentioning the incident. The first was an article by Agence France Presse, which was available at afp.pressedd.com, but was behind a paywall. This site is dead by now and I don't know of another service providing access to the AFP-archive for someone outside the press. The other two were by Swiss newspapers, Blick and the NZZ, were probably edited versions of the AFP article, and were behind a paywall as well. I'm not sure where I found them, but as far as I can remember the Blick article was available at swissdox.ch and the NZZ article at genios.de, but you'd have to search for them to be sure and I don't think it's worth the effort. They were very short, barely giving the basic details, and what was there is included in the little description given here. The AFP article may have provided more information, but I had no access to it. If you want to see a printed version of the articles your best chances are probably the archives of the NZZ and Blick, the first likely located in Zürich, and the other also somewhere in Switzerland. Alternatives would be Swiss archives. The first address then would probably be the Schweizerische Nationalbibliothek in Bern. Of course, you could also subscribe to the NZZ, which then grants you full access to its archive back to 1780. For more information go here. But as I said, I don't think it's worth it. So i think this is the motive the references are offline.--Cientific124 (talk) 01:27, 27 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 14 August 2019 edit

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: all pages moved. I'd recommend a wider discussion on the rest in the PrefixIndex list, perhaps as a bulk RM, but for now, I'll just action these ones. (closed by non-admin page mover) Steven Crossin ^{Help resolve disputes!} 11:52, 21 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

– WP:NATURALDIS. There are many other pages with the same problem (see Special:PrefixIndex/List of rampage killers), but it's not clear how to deal with them, since this series of articles is a mess. Some of them should likely be merged as WP:OVERCAT-equivalent. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 04:01, 14 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Support, although it should be List of rampage killers in Oceania and Maritime Southeast Asia. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:21, 14 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Support per natural disambig, but I agree with Necrothesp that the conjunction should be "and" on the last one. Rreagan007 (talk)

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

Giora Raviv is the only known victim he killed + he was convicted of murdering one person.
