i see no mention of anything on the internet referring to him as the cuyahoga madman. where is this from? 128.237.238.129 ( talk) 03:11, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
On the Jeffrey Dahmer page, there is a table of known victims. I have created a table for this page, as further victims will likely be identified. THD3 ( talk) 17:49, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
IReallyLikeCheese changed rapist to attempted rapist, but I think he was actually convicted of rape in 1989, wasn't he? He probably should have been convicted of attempted murder as well, but I think he really did rape the poor woman. She only survived the murder attempt. She didn't avoid the rape attempt. - ErinHowarth ( talk) 21:40, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
That is incorrect. In 1989 he was convicted of attempted rape, it is even in the article that is cited. Please read more carefully before changing things. The article clearly states "The suspect, who spent 15 years in jail for attempted rape, was arrested on Saturday not far from his home." I didn't add the citation, it was already there. I just made the entry match what was cited to begin with. The vast majorty of information says he was plead guilty to and was convicted of attempted rape. I am guessing this is due to a plea bargain and he was most likely originally accused of rape rather than attempted rape. IReallyLikeCheese ( talk) 22:05, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Police are now reopening cold murder cases from the late 1980s which ended when Sowell was arrested. THD3 ( talk) 13:14, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
The opening sentence of this bio seems to me to be out of place. I suggested we open with "Anthony Sowell is a suspected serial killer..." but was reverted. I fail to see how in the lead of this article, noting that he lives in Ohio and is a former Marine is so important to be mentioned in the lead. Those facts are mentioned later in the article. I suggest the first sentance be, "Anthony Sowell is a suspected serial killer from Ohio," with the rest of the info reworked into the lead. For reference, see the first line of Jeffery Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy, which mention their status as serial killers. I think this follows the MoS at MOS:BEGIN: "The article should begin with a declarative sentence, answering two questions for the nonspecialist reader: "What (or who) is the subject?" and "Why is this subject notable?" " When someone reads this article, the first sentence should immediately give the reader the main subject of the article, and that is not his Ohio residency.

Is one count of attempted rape his only conviction? Jim Michael ( talk) 15:50, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
User:Pistachio disguisey has been redirecting this page to Imperial Avenue Murders. This makes absolutely no sense.
Further, User:Pistachio disguisey's redirects were made without any attempt to gain consensus on this talk page, a breach of good faith. This page should remain under Sowell's name until such time, if any, consensus is reached to change it. THD3 ( talk) 16:08, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
The page is now move protected, and PD aimed this at me while showing up at Stephen Griffiths's AfD to violate WP:CANVASS. If PD starts a consensus discussion here, we might have to watch for voters wandering over from Griffiths's AfD. Şłџğģő 00:14, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Sowell, 61, was incarcerated at the Chillicothe Correctional Institution. A spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Corrections said he was receiving end-of-life care at the Franklin Medical Center for a terminal illness. He died Monday afternoon. It was not COVID-19 related. JaysonD ( talk) 03:33, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
