message: Smith's current occupation is prisoner. "Murderer" is not an occupation unless you're a hired killer, and then the more accurate description would be "criminal" or "career criminal." -- Cecropia 20:34, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is Melinda Loveless linked? she didn't kill a toddler like Smith and Bell did. Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 14:56, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: In the Murder of Shanda Sharer the victim was 12 and the perpetrators were between 15 and 17. This is not in quite the same league as the Bulger or Eric Smith cases. There was an element of torture in the case, so there are some similarities. This type of behaviour by minors is rare, so the "see also" is not completely irrelevant.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 16:09, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Requested move 14 April 2022 

message: This article lacks any pictures. Being well publicized at the time and long analyzed in the years after, there are a plethora of pictures available. Given the fact that murderers tend to overshadow their victims, Derrick Joseph Robie is the picture that should receive the highest priority to be added to this article. 98.235.68.109 (talk) 16:09, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: This is being held back by the fair use guidelines. It isn't possible to lift images at will from news websites etc because this would lead to complaints about the copyright status. There is also the question of whether it is going to enhance a person's understanding of the murder to know what Robie looked like. There is an image of Robie (and Smith) in this news story, but I don't think it's a priority to add it here, per WP:NFCC#8.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 18:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
