==Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment==
==Bisexual==
[[File:Sciences humaines.svg|40px]] This article is or was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment. Further details are available [[Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/Indiana_University_of_Pennsylvania/English_101_(Spring_2018)|on the course page]]. Student editor(s): [[User:JCarter823|JCarter823]].
Tonight's edition of documentary series Martina Cole's Lady Killers was about Rose West. It was stated in the programme that Rose was bisexual. Is that sufficient evidence for her bisexuality to be included in the article, and for LGBT and bi categories to be added? [[User:Werdnawerdna|Werdnawerdna]] ([[User talk:Werdnawerdna|talk]]) 21:53, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
:You could use the same reference as is used [[List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: W-Z|here]], but if the TV programme appears to have been researched properly and isn't presented in tabloid style, that should also be adequate. --[[User:Rodhullandemu|<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#0000FF">Rodhull</span>]][[User_talk:Rodhullandemu|<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#FF0000">andemu</span>]] 21:58, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

==Fair use rationale for File:FredandRoseWest.jpg==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|70px|left]]
'''[[:File:FredandRoseWest.jpg]]''' is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in '''this''' Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags/Non-free|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]].


Please go to [[:File:FredandRoseWest.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline |non-free use rationale]]. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
The names and details of their children are not shown with accompanying citations and should their details really be given to this degree when they are not central to the article.[[User:Nirame|Nirame]] ([[User talk:Nirame|talk]]) 02:48, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]].

== Her father ==


-- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 12:06, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
Was her father ever convicted of anything? It says here he abused her as a child, had sex with her frequently when she was an adult, and he had sex with Fred's (underage?) daughter. Surely he didn't get away with all that once it was publicly known? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/94.174.108.74|94.174.108.74]] ([[User talk:94.174.108.74|talk]]) 17:22, 25 June 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->


== Editing Talk: Rose West edit ==
==Blending pages of Mr and Mrs West together==


Hello all! I am a student attending Indiana University of Pennsylvania. For my Eng 101 class, I am required to edit and revise a Wikipedia article of my choice. I've chosen this article because this is what I'm most interested in. Originally, I chose to edit the Fred West article, but upon reading over the article, there wasn't much for me to add. Upon reading the Rose West article, I noticed there was a lot of information that was missing from here. Throughout this article, I have added in information that was not included, added needed citations, and fixed grammatical errors. I tried the best I could to add important missing information and fix errors and add citations. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:JCarter823|JCarter823]] ([[User talk:JCarter823#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/JCarter823|contribs]]) 16:39, 5 April 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
not sure if putting these pages together is a good idea but it would be a lot easier for the reader dont you think? [[User:Delighted eyes|Delighted eyes]] ([[User talk:Delighted eyes|talk]]) 14:14, 6 September 2011 (UTC)


== News of identity change ==
==Citation==


I will suggest to not make any changes in the article to her apparent new identity. Her reported new identity is "Jennifer Jones", the only sources are [[WP:THESUN|The Sun]] and The/Daily Mirror. The Sun is deprecated, and Mirror needs backup from non-tabloid/independent outlets. Given this is also kinda [[WP:TOOSOON]], it shouldn't be published until better consensus comes about. -- [[User:Tytrox|Tytrox]] ([[User talk:Tytrox|talk]]) 09:48, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

The section on whole life tarrif review should be removed as per this edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rosemary_West&oldid=596062925]. In today's [http://news.sky.com/story/1213448/whole-life-sentences-are-legal-say-judges news] is the fact that whole life tariffs remain legal in the UK. There is therefore no need for an out of date section that was unsourced and says a review will happen that will not.

== Nothing about the victims? ==
Hello fellow Wikipedians,


Aside from two victims (Charmaine and her mother), and then much later, Heather, there's essentially no information here regarding the seven other murders they committed. What gives?

I have just added archive links to {{plural:1|one external link|1 external links}} on [[Rosemary West]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=680148207 my edit]. If necessary, add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

== Name of the room ==
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the ''checked'' parameter below to '''true''' to let others know.


In this article Rose's prostitution room is called "Mandy's room", the article about her husband calls it "Rose's room". Which one is correct? [[User:Glamourqueen|Glamourqueen]] ([[User talk:Glamourqueen|talk]]) 22:26, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Can we have a list of the children and their year of birth (and maybe some information about their later life as far as publicly known)?

Fair use rationale for File:FredandRoseWest.jpg

[edit]

File:FredandRoseWest.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a non-free use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
