• 09:3109:31, 5 January 2022 diff hist +52‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Early life and education: Duplicating a citation appearance, to make clear earlier content, before parentheses, is supposedly from this source as well (based on earlier appearing version).
• 09:2909:29, 5 January 2022 diff hist +2‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Early life and education: Copyedit. Missing indefinite article.
• 09:2509:25, 5 January 2022 diff hist +480‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Early life and education: Providing a citation for the Baylor and Sam Houston State enrollments. NOTE, AGAIN. NO SOURCES ARE BEING REMOVED FROM THIS ARTICLE (OPPOSITE IS TRUE), and the only source being hidden is the convict's (title subject's) personal web publishing effort, which earlier had been used in violation of WP:VERIFY as a source for purported factual content in the article. (Removed from view as non-third party, and because of clear NPOV issue.)
• 09:0309:03, 5 January 2022 diff hist +487‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Trial and conviction: All references to a "psychological evaluation" removed until (i) valid sourcing is found, and (ii) adequate details regarding which phase of proceedings, by which party commissioned, etc. are included in the description. NOTE, per WP:VER, the "minutesbeforesix" blog (convict's personally managed postings) CANNOT be used to present factual material in this article. Tag: possible unreferenced addition to BLP
• 08:3608:36, 5 January 2022 diff hist +454‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Early life and education: After searching for an hour for an independent source for the referenced 2009 psyche profile, I give up. If it only exists as a document offered to us as a primary source from the convict's blog, it is not a valid source for WP. Per {{third party}} requirements, if you can find such a source, return this sentence. Otherwise, no. Tag: possible unreferenced addition to BLP
• 08:1808:18, 5 January 2022 diff hist +492‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Writings: Added content and citation to the Sophia Beausoleil report of the MS thesis sale.
• 08:1208:12, 5 January 2022 diff hist −211‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Beefing up commutation citations. Made Texas Tribune citations uniform to format. Thirteen of the forty-two citations now remain to be formatted.
• 07:5607:56, 5 January 2022 diff hist +733‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Commutation of sentence: Added a source, which indicates first for unanimity of board, and differing dates for Abbott. Completed re-formatting of rest of sections' news citations.
• 07:3507:35, 5 January 2022 diff hist +787‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Further reading: Added two sources for potential future use in better sourcing the article.
• 06:4706:47, 5 January 2022 diff hist +906‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Trial and conviction: Added original prosecutor name and source. Called for a more encyclopedic expansion of this seemingly "pop" press-derived account of the trial.
• 06:2406:24, 5 January 2022 diff hist +436‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Early life and education: Removed a {{cn}} for the High School burglary content, adding a source found. No mention of his dropping out, so that unsourced part was omitted.
• 06:1106:11, 5 January 2022 diff hist +70‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Early life and education: Copyedit. Corrected ambiguous wikilink, and lack of italics for book title. Removed "absurdist" because it is not in Chevigny.
• 05:5305:53, 5 January 2022 diff hist +17‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Provided a citation for the "Bart" moniker. Otherwise, done for tonight. Removing temporary "unreferenced" tag (placed in the interim to provide links to find sources). NOTE, WHILE ALL DATE FORMATS WERE MADE UNIFORM BY THE {{use TEMPLATE, WE STILL HAVE AT LEAST ONE MAJOR AND SEVERAL MINOR CITATION FORMATS RUNNING. The article still needs several hours of work to source unsourced content and unify formats, before hard top-to-bottom work of checking all content against cited sources can begin.
• 05:4805:48, 5 January 2022 diff hist +527‎ User talk:Liz ‎ →‎Emptying categories out-of-process
• 05:3305:33, 5 January 2022 diff hist +159‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Completed and corrected the ABC13-derived text to that source—IT SAID ca. 40 MINS NOT 15 MINS!. Note, it does not cover the "solitary confinement" phrase, so that has to be sourced separately. Made rest of Houston Chronicle citations uniform (about the best citations here).
• 04:5104:51, 5 January 2022 diff hist +1‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Commutation of sentence: Copyedit. Spelling correction.
• 04:5104:51, 5 January 2022 diff hist +16‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Commutation of sentence: Changed LWOP abbreviation to fully written words, because the abbreviation is plopped in without definition.
• 04:4804:48, 5 January 2022 diff hist +136‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Trial and conviction: Checked the Keaver citation, and unfortunately found that it covers first half of the sentence, and not the last. Adjusted the citation placement and a tag, accordingly.
• 04:3204:32, 5 January 2022 diff hist −7‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Copyedit. Removed the out of place "nearly", a residue from the earlier "nearly 11 years" (the specific of which was removed for lack of a source). The earlier moved citation to MotherJones.com had nothing on Whitaker, at all.
• 04:3004:30, 5 January 2022 diff hist −81‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Removed DOB {{cn}} tags in the lead, and in the infobox.
• 04:2904:29, 5 January 2022 diff hist −121‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Corrected the URL to the Savage Son reference. Combined the three citations. Called for page rather than chapter numbers. Note, none of the content could be verified, because the cited chapters—10, 50, and 53—are outside of the available preview content, in the earlier citation and in this one.
• 04:0704:07, 5 January 2022 diff hist −1‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Same as last edit.
• 04:0504:05, 5 January 2022 diff hist +2,384‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Early life and education: Added citations and removed {{cn}} tags where possible. Tag: Disambiguation links added
• 03:1503:15, 5 January 2022 diff hist +2,885‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Added two third-party sentences about PEN and Whitaker from a journal article about them. Cited his dissertation thesis posting, because it comes up in scholarly searches.
• 02:2102:21, 5 January 2022 diff hist +30‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Removed the temporary unreferenced tag. Added authors to another citation.
• 02:0902:09, 5 January 2022 diff hist +546‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Incoming editors, re: "unreferenced addition to BLP" and citation removal tags—NO VALID CITATIONS HAVE BEEN REMOVED, AND NO CONTENT HAS BEEN ADDED WITHOUT CITATION. The opposite is true, please skim all recent edit summaries before reverting anything. In this edit, two PEN.org citations were added to support his 2018-2019 fellowship, and text was edited to match content of source. Poorer PEN interview reference was moved to further reading. Completed the MotherJones.com citation in Further rdng
• 01:4001:40, 5 January 2022 diff hist +36‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Converted all dates to a consistent mdy format, using the {{use template.
• 01:3101:31, 5 January 2022 diff hist −50‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Removed some of the bulk of the article tag.
• 01:2601:26, 5 January 2022 diff hist +108‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Continuing citations checks. Red warning addressed, and all caps to title case change made for ERIC HANSON author. When title subject i an author of a work cited, we owe it to readers to make this explicit (and several of these "citation completing" edits were performed).
• 01:0601:06, 5 January 2022 diff hist 0‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Written works: Copyedit, making PEN.org appearances consistent in appearance.
• 01:0501:05, 5 January 2022 diff hist +577‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Noted that the PEN citations do not state what the text implies that they do, rather, they only serve as an advertisement for the works. Called for citations stating that the awards were given, and moved the presentation of the works links to a new section. Otherwise, beginning to make citation formats consistent. Tags: possible unreferenced addition to BLP references removed
• 00:3200:32, 5 January 2022 diff hist +16‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Moved the motherjones.com article to a new Further reading section — IT MAKES NO MENTION OF THE TITLE SUBJECT, and so does not support the opening sentence of the lede, or the opening sentence of the Early life section. (DOB, etc. are currently unsourced.) Revised the commutation/Abbott sentence to clarify its meaning. Tag: references removed
• 00:2000:20, 5 January 2022 diff hist +10‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ REmoved all caps from all remaining cases, in citation authors and titles.
• 00:1500:15, 5 January 2022 diff hist +353‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Now, in standard BLP fashion, "Early life..." section follows lead. Removed citations of convicted murder's blog, "minutesbeforesix", heretofore use as source of historical, factual content regarding trial, etc. It remains cited twice, for a quote from title subject, and with regard to founding blog. Unreliable source otherwise, VIOLATING WP:VER. "Background" section was not true background but an amalgam of misplaced material. Section was broken up, with material being placed (chrono)logically. Tag: possible unreferenced addition to BLP
• 00:0500:05, 5 January 2022 diff hist +675‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Revised and expanded the section on post-conviction activities, removing the last vestige of content from the Background section.
• 00:0000:00, 5 January 2022 diff hist +1,300‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Whitaker appeals: Revising this section, retaining most original content, but moving misplaced material in from other sections. Tag: possible BLP issue or vandalism

• 23:5823:58, 4 January 2022 diff hist −2,463‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Editing the Commutation of sentence section, moving appropriate material for that section from the former mislabeled/misplaced background section. Tag: references removed
• 23:5523:55, 4 January 2022 diff hist +547‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ →‎Murders: Edited this section, moving material related to the murders from other sections. NOTE, too much of the section is sourced from the title subject's father;s book, which is not a truly independent source.
• 23:5223:52, 4 January 2022 diff hist +2,504‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Populating two new sections, and moving material from the Background section.
• 23:3623:36, 4 January 2022 diff hist +186‎ Thomas Bartlett Whitaker ‎ Adjusting section headings to allow moving of content into chrono/logical organization.
