I believe this article should be moved to Ruchell Magee, his legal name. Initially searching on Ruchell Ciqnue Magee on ProQuest or Newspapers.com was frustrating, as most sources refer to his legal name rather than the nickname he adopted. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 15:35, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Indy beetle I'm planning to expand the Marin attacks section a bit still, but I'm hoping I can interest you in finishing the lead. (Also, see #Move proposal.) SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 18:28, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
There are a number of quotes from the "People's Dispatch". Is this WP:DUE? I hadn't heard of the publication. DenverCoder9 ( talk) 17:53, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Another question is whether this source should be used, as it directly asks for money. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 21:54, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
I have added the {{ Lead rewrite}} clean-up tag to the article because I think the lead section needs rewriting to emphasis the important information about the subject, first. The lead should introduce and summarize an article, highlighting what is most important to know about the subject, not be a small self-contained article in itself. I would suggest keeping the first sentence but the remainder of the lead has the wrong emphasis and may be too much detail as well as reading like a mini article, rather than being a summary. To me it is more important to highlight this person has been imprisoned for most of his life, than how he got there in the first place. I am not saying what facts appear in the lead should not, it is just the presentation and emphasis that seems unbalanced and mis-weighted.
