[edit] Note
This entire article is essentially a paraphrase of the Crime Library entry as far as I can tell, and it doesn't even read as nice. It needs to be re-written.24.96.242.143
[edit] length
this article is incredibly long. if we want to keep such extreme detail about the criminal case, i suggest an article about this itself. Then two shorter biographies Baniszewski and Likens. Any ideas? Amo 10:31, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Length
I agree, this is FAR TOO LONG. The editor that contributed to this should look to find a way to make it concise. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chairman Sharif (talk • contribs).

- A lot of the length seems to be to imitate the detail found in the Crime Library source. I will edit it down.--Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 08:00, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- I had a bunch of edit conflicts while I was cutting it down and it's hard for me to tell what got changed - sorry if any major stuff got lost, if you want to reinstate your own changes go ahead but I think it would be a good idea to work to shorten this even more and not add more trivia and detail to the account. --Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 08:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vagina swollen shut vs Hymen intact
"Meanwhile, an autopsy of Sylvia Likens turned up over burns, bruising, and muscle and nerve damage. In her death throes, Sylvia bit through her lips, nearly severing each of them. Her vaginal cavity was nearly swollen shut, although an examination of the canal determined that her hymen was still intact, largely discrediting Gertrude's assertions that Sylvia was a prostitute and completely disproving her insistence that she was pregnant."
How can these contradictions be possible? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk • contribs) 07:11, 21 January 2007 (UTC).
