Various sources state that Caledonia Jane Doe was wearing brown ripple-sole shoes, which a telephone caller who spoke with investigators claimed were popular in the "Venjiont" area in the 1970s. "Venjiont" is not an identifiable town, settlement, or geographical region. The actual word may have been " Vermont," misspelled due to optical character recognition (OCR) failure. It may also have been some other regional term recorded in phonetic spelling by investigators who were unfamiliar with the place named by the caller. fat man rolling ( talk) 19:37, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
The article title really ought to be Caledonia Jane Doe because of WP:COMMONNAME, where the individual has been known simply by that title for over 30 years. The recent title change seems to favor a bias towards recentism.-- Prisencolin ( talk) 00:48, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

I am going to review this article soon, but just from a brief reading, I believe WebSleuths.com could be de-linked as I have doubts as to whether it will have its own wikipedia article anytime soon and the red link is unattractive. I also noticed a few typos, one that stuck out was in the 'Identification' section; "Such ceremony" makes little grammatical sense in the context, with possibly 'Said ceremony', or 'Such a ceremony', being more appropriate.

This review has been open for over three months now, and Gourami Watcher hasn't edited the article since April 3, nearly three months ago. My suggestion, Zaostao, is that you close the nomination as unsuccessful. Once Gourami Watcher has been able to make the fixes you've requested, the article can be nominated again at GAN. BlueMoonset ( talk) 22:43, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
Gourami Watcher ( talk · contribs) created the image File:Tammy Alexander POI final.jpg and added it to the article. On its Wikimedia Commons file description page it says only, "Composite of a person of interest in the Tammy Jo Alexander murder case, based on a previous FBI sketch." There is no explanation as to what other sources the image is a composite of, possibly complicating the copyright status of the resulting image if it literally contains other, copyrighted material. More salient however, is how Gourami Watcher's personal, interpretive composition is relevant to the article; using this file is essentially original research, effectively adding text to the article that says, "Here is what an unconnected, anonymous person thinks the person-of-interest looked like based on unknown constituent images."
I removed the new image based on these concerns, but was reverted by Gourami Watcher 81 minutes later. — fourthords | =Λ= | 22:07, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
The article contains significant forensic speculation about who "Caledonia Jane Doe" might have been (for instance, she was between the ages of 13 and 19)... which has all become moot now that she's finally been identified as Tammy Alexander. Should we remove the speculation? DS ( talk) 21:35, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
The artIcle states: "The wound to the head indicated she had apparently not turned or flinched, as is common when one is shot in the head. Instead, the entry wound suggested complete, if horrified, surprise." For one, this is lifted word for word from the source. I'm new, can someone summarize if this is considered plagiarism here or not?Secondly, does anyone have any insight into what this means? The source doesn't explain why they believe this information is true and I've never heard any speculation like this regarding a shot to the head before. I strongly doubt its accuracy.
