Forty Elephants
→Methods: For some reason, the second sentence read in part "...police records from London indicate that female willy shoplifters had been active in the area since the late 18th century." I don't know why "willy" was in there; it appears nowhere else in the article nor does it appear in the cited article, so I removed it..

I am capitalizing all instances of "freemason" and "freemasonry" to make them consistent with other instances in this article in which they're capitalized, and in keeping with other Wiki articles. "Freemasonry" and its derivatives are proper names.

Corrected "bandito" to the more correct "bandido," since in this case it's the Spanish and not Italian word that fits best. The dictionary of the Real Academia Española (the standard reference dictionary for Spanish) has an entry on bandido but none on bandito: https://dle.rae.es/bandido

Marie Laveau
→Career: Removed the sentence "She was the third female leader of Voodoo in New Orleans (the first was Sanité Dédé, who ruled for a few years before being usurped by Marie Salopé)" because there is no evidence for the existence of either of those figures ("salope" also means "slut" in French, so the name is highly suspect).Tag: Reverted
