FA Preparations

[edit]

Working on this article to bring it up to Good status has been completed, now that this phase has worked out well, it is time to get it all ready for Featured status. In order for that to happen, there are still some things that need to be completed, either by myself or someone in collaboration. I will put down the list of tasks that need to be completed down below.

  • Additional images of Richards need to be found and added to the article- Considering the only image of Richards that is supplied in this article is taken from the "autobiographical" book, there need to be some additional images of him supplied. I did put out a request for an illustration made at the time depicting his execution but considering the whole COVID thing that will be a while before I receive any word from them. In the meantime, additional digging might supply some alternative images. Considering Richards' notoriety at the time, there has got to be at least some photo of the guy out there (There was a wanted poster/photograph that was passed around while he was on the run from the law). Richards went under various pseudonames so an image might be under one of them instead of his real name.
  • There are several mentions of Richards' skull that was displayed by a newspaper, this probably needs to be given more thought and more modern information found about its current location.
  • Need to find the name of the actor who portrayed Richards in Paranormal Witness.
  • Additional information on Richards such as corroboration to certain claims by him that he was involved in some bar/gambling shootings, information on his parents/siblings.
