Sourcing edit
As per WP:RSP, findagrave is considered a generally unreliable source and should not be used for citations. Additionally, I don't see a good reason to use a photograph of a primary source on that site as a source when there are many other sources available, such as this article (currently in External links).

- No, there are not many other sources available. That is precisely the problem. The article you refer to does not give Mason's death date. The photograph may not be ideal, but it will have to do until another source can be found. Khiikiat (talk) 12:44, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, it does: it states he was attacked on the previous Sunday, which was 3 September 1961. The source you removed also had that date. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:27, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
