I could use your help
Hi Cwobeel. Would you mind adding Shooting of Samuel DuBose to your watchlist. I'm fending off original research, bad style edits and unsourced content. Thanks for your help.- MrX 16:19, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
@MrX:. I checked yesterday and could not find an article on this. I'll add to my watchlist. - Cwobeel (talk) 20:09, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

DuBose image
In Walter Scott, you took a screenshot from Santana's video and put it in the infobox. Is something like that feasible in DuBose? ―Mandruss ☎ 01:50, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
At 2:24 in the Tensing video is a shot with DuBose facing the camera. Not a great shot, but better than nothing imo. He was dead one minute later. ―Mandruss ☎ 02:01, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
- I appreciate what you are both trying to do but please consider the family before posting a screen cap of the victim just before he was shot. I would much rather see us use a new source photo under fair use/WP:NFC.- MrX 02:44, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
- @MrX: Please see the infobox in Shooting of Walter Scott, clearly depicting Scott being shot to death. Then see the Tensing video, clearly showing DuBose's bloody, dead body. ―Mandruss ☎ 03:26, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Listen to Wikipedia
Just want to thank you for posting the 'listen to Wikipedia link'. POWERFULL! If you Want to understand what the WP project is about, this is it. Should be on the auto read for all new users! It is larger than the sum of it's parts! 01:11, 3 August 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.156.48.252 (talk)
