There is evidence on wiki and local press that a doctor murdered 3 children in Blackpool Victoria Hospital in the seventies. This should be included. His name is dr Ahmed Alami. Why hasn’t this been included? Kermit125478 (talk) 16:27, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where is this "evidence on wiki and local press"? What actual sources do you have? If you have none, this could just be a baseless accusation and thus a libel against that individual? Martinevans123 (talk) 16:54, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Provincial flag used is not the flag of 🇨🇦

Please correct. 2605:8D80:6400:45C3:ACE9:3BAD:437B:580F (talk) 02:32, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's too vague. Please specify more clearly what you want to have changed. Gawaon (talk) 03:30, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maina Ramulu Errors

Change "He was released from prison in 2020, and allegedly murdered two more women," to "He was released from prison in 2018, and murdered two more women." The website linked in the notes clearly says he was released in 2018 and that the next two murders were not simply alleged. Pale.fleshxxzx 1991 (talk) 07:58, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
