Legal grounds of extradition?

So the US got the Maledives to extradite Seleznev to Guam? How? Why not to the US? Would that be legal? Why weren't the Russian consulates informed? Why was he extradited in the first place? Surely there was some pressure put towards Maledives government. This article needs more background info. 87.122.249.237 (talk) 14:57, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That was kidnapping not an extradiction. There is no legal ground for it. 15:58, 18 August 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.250.218.211 (talk)

Accusation is stated as a fact in the article.

Article says that he IS a hacker. When he is actually just ACCUSED of being hacker. Arcpeter (talk) 22:35, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This web page needs to be updated. In August of 2016, Mr. Seleznev was convicted of 38 counts related to his scheme to hack into point-of-sale computers to steal credit card numbers and sell them on dark market websites. On April 21, 2017, he was sentenced to 27 years in prison by a US Judge in the Western District of Washington state. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.206.64.3 (talk) 14:15, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Date format edit war

Per WP:DATEOVER and WP:DATE both US format ("September 2, 1990") and international format ("2 September 1990") can be used in Wikipedia articles. The only requirement that the guidelines highlight is consistency in format usage across the article. Cloud200 (talk) 10:58, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Very bad idea to say "currently"

The article contains this sentence:

"Seleznev is currently being held at the medium security prison FCI Butner in North Carolina, after being transferred from USP Atlanta in 2018."

It is a very bad idea to use a word like "currently" in a Wikipedia article, since the word may be read at an entirely different time from when it was written.

Nobody reading the word will know what time frame "currently" refers to.

Using such a word incurs a high risk that the information will go out of date and no one will notice.

Much better idea: State the time that you are talking about. It is that simple.

(E.g., "As of October 2019 [or whenever], Seleznev is ...".) 2601:200:C000:1A0:A4FC:DC05:FDCF:8E10 (talk) 00:55, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
