I realize that this page is still in a larval state, but 21 years later, I am saddened that this has become almost a lost history. Please don't delete just yet.-- Bellerophon5685 ( talk) 21:40, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
@ Bellerophon5685: I have spent a bit of time replacing manual inline citation with citations that use the standard citation templates produced by the classic editing form interface. For me this is a straight forward form filling exercise, assisted by some basic form filling automation based on the URL. The citation of Finkelhor et al's paper "Nonfamily abducted children: national estimates and characteristics" was available online from the web address http://www.ncjrs.org:80/pdffiles1/ojjdp/196467.pdf, which is now archived by the Wayback Machine as the original URL is no longer valid. The scanned copy available from the Hathi Trust appears to be a poor second in quality to the archived electronic version from the Wayback Machine. A quick Google search shows the official version is now available via the URL https://ojjdp.ojp.gov/library/publications/nonfamily-abducted-children-national-estimates-and-characteristics. While I have cited this as if it were a book, because that is what is currently available in the editing interface as a template form, I wonder if Template:Cite report might be a more suitable citation template to use. - Cameron Dewe ( talk) 07:44, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Created by Bellerophon5685 ( talk). Self-nominated at 22:37, 29 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Child abduction scare of 2002; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
I don't know what a QPQ is, and I haven't figured out how to get to the nominations page. So its kinda a technical issue, I don't know how to contact anyone or join the discussion about the article. Will try to improve it though.--
