What about adding a subcategory for Bobby McLaulin, who was wrongfully convicted in an armed robbery, back in 1979? Splashen ( talk) 14:53, 12 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Why a subcategory, rather than a mere entry? —Tamfang ( talk) 00:26, 31 March 2024 (UTC) reply

His entry (bottom of the 1920s entries) is full of typos, bad sentence structuring, incomplete quotes, etc.

Could someone with proper English skills (thus not me) have a look and correct these? 101.182.63.62 ( talk) 12:19, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply

The entire entry has been removed, evidently due to lack of reliable sourcing. A. Randomdude0000 ( talk) 15:13, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply

He is the wrongfully convicted man who served 11 years for rape before being exonerated, he is the subject and co-author of the book Picking Cotton, which was a best-seller. I'm not really capable of writing an entry or I'd do it myself. I just correct minor typos and grammatical mistakes when I come across them. But it would be nice to put him in here. Thank you.
