Mo Mowlem is missing from the "unconfirmed victims" section
[edit]Here she is featured in The Guardian and in the Belfast Telegraph.
And in your very own wikipedia page:
Mowlam worked as a lecturer in the Political Science Department at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee in 1977 and at Florida State University in Tallahassee from 1977 to 1979. During her time in Tallahassee, her apartment was broken into. She suspected it was Ted Bundy, a serial killer and rapist who murdered at least thirty-five young women.[1] ~2026-46179-99 (talk) 11:30, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

Ted Bundy was born Theodore Robert Cowell on November 24, 1946, to Eleanor Louise Cowell at the Elizabeth Lund Home for Unwed Mothers[12] in Burlington, Vermont, where he was left for two months
should be Ted Bundy was born on November 24, 1946, to Theodore Robert Cowell and Eleanor Louise Cowell at the Elizabeth Lund Home for Unwed Mothers[12] in Burlington, Vermont, where he was left for two months ~2026-57446-72 (talk) 03:56, 28 October 2026 (UTC)
Not done: The sentence is correct as written. "Theodore Robert Cowell" was Bundy's birth name, not the name of his father (which is unknown). Day Creature (talk) 17:50, 28 October 2026 (UTC)
Sentence too long and grammatically awkward
[edit]The sentence:
"While he is often said to have been a torturer, and biographer Ann Rule in particular regarded him as a "sadistic sociopath" who took pleasure in human suffering,[2] Bundy disputed these claims in one of his conversations with Michaud, insisting that he never deliberately tortured any of those he killed and that the murders had no sadistic focus on enjoyment derived from the infliction of pain and injury."
is (1) too long, and (2) awkward to read. Instead:
"Bundy is often said to have been a torturer, and biographer Ann Rule in particular regarded him as a "sadistic sociopath" who took pleasure in human suffering. Bundy, however, disputed these claims, and in one of his conversations with Michaud insisted that he never deliberately tortured any of those he killed, and that the murders had no sadistic focus on enjoyment derived from the infliction of pain and injury."
is easier to read, and carries the same meaning. Davef1 (talk) 14:30, 28 October 2026 (UTC)
Dr. James Dobson Interview
[edit]I'm curious why there's no mention of Bundy's interview with Dr. James Dobson right before Bundy's execution.
