[edit] I say we tabulate
OK, a thought that occurs. This is looking like it's going to end up listing all the victims and eventually the name of the man imprisoned for them. Since there are so many victims it might be an idea to make a table of name, date disappeared, date found..? The extra information on where they were headed when they went missing and so on doesn't seem too relevant for an encyclopedia article -- anything specially significant (patterns established by police, racial motivation etc.) could be discussed separately.
Any objections, reactions?
Great idea....Also we know williams didn't give those children or at least he didn't kill the majority of them. FBI should be held accountable for the things that do... they are suppose to be at the highest level of protection, but covering up for KKK's and all the skeems and plots to commit genecide of one race is outrageous. Where will there be a place and time in or society for truth and justice for all

I added a table. It includes the victims' names, ages and when they went missing. I will go back and add the dates when they were found too. Plus I was thinking of deleting all the stuff that is numbered, since it looks too much like Crime Library's article. And plus this is an encyclopedia article, and information in encyclopedia articles should be easy to find. In order to find information in this article the way it's written right now, it makes it a little difficult. Eric Ashford
[edit] A good source
Recent coverage in the Atlanta Journal Constitution is collected here, although this link will probably become inoperable at some point. Ellsworth 23:37, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] This article
This is a very important subject, so I am very disappointed that this article is, frankly, as bad as all this. I would write it over myself but I do not have the time right now (moving and such) to give it the care it deserves. The article basically looks like a haphazard "rewrite" and copy bit from this [1].

Agreed. I noticed that a few sentences seem to be lifted directly from the Crime Library article, which is pretty badly written to begin with. --Sklero 11:20, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
OK, I cleaned this article up a lot. Let me know what you think. And can someone include some photos in this article? Eric Ashford
It's not right to refer to the "Atlanta Child Killer." We don't know that it is any one person. The judge's name is not "Judge Clarence." It's Judge Clarence Cooper. And what's up with the article saying "last month" there toward the end? This is an encyclopedia, not the news. 74.224.126.123 03:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
