Is the adverb "wildly" justified in its use to depict how something is described. At the end of the first paragraph summarize the content on this Wikipedia page. I sense that it would be more concise to simply get rid of it from the paragraph. 2604:3D09:6A7A:CB20:B518:DA7C:CBF8:566 (talk) 01:12, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Note: it is actually "widely", which is why there are 7 different sources cited for it. LizardJr8 (talk) 02:28, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Remove line stating he is currently on death row. It has no citation and in the previous line states he is serving life without parole. 2600:1702:2370:2E10:AE8E:BBE7:9D8:7FBE (talk) 08:13, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

The execution sentence is for the federal convictions mentioned at the beginning of the paragraph. I have clarified that, and added a NYT source to his being housed in TH. LizardJr8 (talk) 01:16, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Early Life, paragraph 5 grammar error

Switches topic mid paragraph from pov of maternal uncle to step-mother without clearly marking. Pronouns then refer incorrectly. Perhaps either a topic sentence in the paragraph to clear up the subject of the paragraph and/or adding a reference to the relationship of Mann to Dylnn. 2601:647:CA00:1A6D:71FC:9557:21B4:94EE (talk) 02:54, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Possible grammar issue?

I'm not a native speaker, so I'd rather have someone else confirm this. Is this sentence "Roof reportedly the defense team also argued that Roof masked his mental illness during the trial. [165]" grammatically correct? TobbiM (talk) 08:32, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

@TobbiM: Yea, that makes no sense at all. I looked at the source ref and fixed it. BlueRockThrush (talk) 00:48, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
