Real son

Why no mention of his children? Did I just miss it? 70.51.30.244 (talk) 01:12, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Since there is info on his kids available, I assume there is a policy regarding the inclusion of info on the spouses and children of notorious guys like Manson. Yes? No? Homeboy (talk) 16:44, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

The 'early life' section says "in an attempt to life honestly". That is a typo. "Life" should be changed to "live" SenatorMS (talk) 20:48, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

 Done. Thank you! RegentsPark (comment) 20:51, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 18 December 2023

I'd like to add "The Book of Manson" (1989) by Raymond Pettibon to the list of fiction inspired by Manson. Here is the IMDB entry [1]https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096967/ Devinludwig (talk) 20:06, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Infobox photo

Can anyone kindly remind me what the Wikipedia policy standard is regarding the infobox photo of deceased persons? Is it always required to use a “prime of life” or younger photo rather than their more recent / elderly one? Aliy Dawut (talk) 19:31, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
