Source: Eddie Canales, who campaigned to prevent migrant deaths, dies at 76, Washington Post: "For years, when unidentified bodies were recovered in the county, they were buried, at times in unmarked graves. Mr. Canales and other activists helped push for the enforcement of a Texas law mandating that unidentified remains undergo DNA testing, and championed the exhumation of unidentified bodies from the county cemetery... The effort led to a horrifying revelation when researchers exhuming a mass burial site at the cemetery found remains “in trash bags, shopping bags, body bags, or no containers at all,”"
ALT1: ... that Eddie Canales set up nearly 200 water stations along an area of the US-Mexico border to save the lives of undocumented immigrants? Source: Eddie Canales, who set up nearly 200 water stations along U.S.-Mexico border, dead at 76, CBC: "He spent much of the last decade of his life travelling along the U.S. southern border to place and refill large barrels of water for those making the dangerous — and often deadly — journey across the arid desert to the U.S...

Note from author: Would appreciate some guidance on how many wikilinks should be added, it seems like DYKs have more of those but I'm not sure exactly how much more. Mrfoogles (talk) 22:47, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Just took a quick look at the article, and I don't think biographical articles would normally have so mnay links right at the bottom - I think it's more usual to have e.g. all the obituaries as inline citations Lajmmoore (talk) 08:25, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
I was mostly using that as a place to put sources I found but hadn't used: sometimes Further reading sections are useful to editors who are looking for sources to expand the article, especially on stubs. But it is maybe a little excessive here considering sources are easy to find. Moved it to the talk page. Mrfoogles (talk) 19:57, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Interesting:
QPQ: None required.
Overall: Earwig gives violation unlikely, and phrases that are detected are mostly generic such as facts and place names. Sources:
AGF for ALT0: source is paywalled and inacessible until wayback machine comes back online. ALT1 accessible and checks out.
ALT0 and ALT1 are both interesting, and within other policies. All good DimensionalFusion (talk · she/her) 11:01, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
