Orphaned references in ILoveMakonnen[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of ILoveMakonnen's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:56, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Manslaughter conviction[edit]

This is relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18A:100:FC70:B519:6E0:FF41:6CB (talk) 21:25, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It may be, but reliable sources are required. Simply stating it here is not nearly enough. Adding this content without sources is serious violation of the biographies of living people policy. Once you cite credible sources, you can add the content but not until then. S0091 (talk) 22:30, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
