Talk:Frank Caprio

Attribution

GoLocalProv.com as the first to publicly report the passing of Judge Frank Caprio on August 20, 2025. Our original coverage can be found here: [https://www.golocalprov.com/news/judge-frank-caprio-dies-longtime-municipal-judge-and-caught-in-providence-s]

I believe it would be appropriate for the Wikipedia article to acknowledge GoLocalProv as the initial source of the news.

Thank you for your consideration.

@Alith Anar Hi, just following up to note that I’ve posted a suggested addition regarding GoLocalProv’s initial reporting on Judge Caprio’s passing. Since you previously flagged my first edit attempt, I wanted to reach out here to provide a clearer explanation and citation for consideration. Appreciate any thoughts or guidance.

Just to clarify my earlier note — it is my understanding that which outlet reported first isn’t allowed on Wikipedia. My intent is simply to suggest including GoLocalProv’s article as one of the citations in the “Illness and death” as we break some of the biggest stories here. Thanks for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GoLocalKate (talk • contribs) 16:40, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Requested edit

In the "Illness and death" section, after the sentence "He died the following day at the age of 88.", please add the following reference alongside the existing AP and People citations:

This adds GoLocalProv, a local reliable source, to the citations covering his passing, alongside AP and People.

@Alith Anar — just flagging you since you were previously involved here. Thanks!

 Not done: per WP:PROMO and WP:REFSPAM. This reference doesn't add anything not covered by the existing citations. Day Creature (talk) 02:27, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
