Arrest of Oba Chandler

[edit]

Why is he described as an "American man"? I'm not being defensive (I'm an American man myself); I just think the natural assumption (which is reasonable) is that someone arrested for a crime (other than a terrorist action, I guess) is a national of the country in which the crime occurred. Also, "American man [his name]" sounds odd to me. --anon. 71.183.134.249 (talk) 01:51, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. Changed accordingly. howcheng {chat} 09:31, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I have a couple of additional quibbles but I won't mind if the ITN entry isn't changed to reflect them:
  • The victims are described as three women but two of them were under eighteen years of age, with one of them being only fourteen. (The article about Oba Chandler includes this inaccurate characterization itself in some places.)
  • Stating that there had been "a three-year-long manhunt" to apprehend the killer implies (to me, anyway) that law enforcement personnel were actively working to identify and then locate him but the article implies (to me, anyway) that they had run out of leads and were waiting for new tips to come in.

I didn't write the original blurb, but I think it's now much more interesting. howcheng {chat} 20:12, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
