Talk:List of crimes involving a silicone mask

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was surprise the scam involving the impersonation of a French minister didn't have an article for it yet. So I just searched around to see how often a crime has happened with a silicone mask, and made an article for that. Ample global media coverage for each of these events, not just newspapers in the nations they happen in. So a list article seems valid. Dream Focus 21:23, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Random

[edit]

This list is random and just bunch of paragraphs with no lead. Can the creator try to bring some structure to it, such as chronology and a decription of what a silicon mask is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djflem (talkcontribs)
