[edit] Prison time

I removed the previous mention of his prison time being 875 years because its absolutely made up. I added the paragraph explaining the real prison time which is 22 years and the reasons behind it. I dont know if the part about us colombians being angry at such short time can be considered "original research" because I dont have sources for that one, but I think is obvious we are not happy to see that the bastard can get out in mere two decades. feel free to edit the paragraph for any grammar mistakes, Im still trying to write properly in english with an encyclopedic writting.

[edit] Some comments

In fact Luis Alfredo Garavito was sentenced to 1.853 years and 9 days, according to the "fiscalia" report which can be found here: Reporte de la Fiscalia.

I think your article is good although it lacks A LOT of information.

I'd add some background about the guy (which can be found in the report from la fiscalia). I'd also mention that he'll probably be free in about 7 years (around 2013) because of our "great" legal system. And that Colombian people are angry at this situation, which is expressed by tons of mail on Internet asking to do something about it. However, it seems that there is no organized process for asking the government to do something about it.

I'd also mention that there was a TV special done by local presenter "Pirry" about the killer. In this interview, Pirry talked to the guy on camera and he expressed remorse about killing the children and also expressed his plans for a political career in the future to help abused children. This has generated outrage in the community as people think this guy should be fried for what he did, or at least, he should never be allowed to roam free.

BTW, he's dubbed the Beast (La Bestia).

[edit] His name

The introduction says "Luis Garavito, aka. Luis Alfredo Garavito Cubillos", the text below the image says "Luis Fernando Garavito". So, what's his name? Entheta 19:48, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

It was a mistake. The name has been modified Hlasso 14:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

What about Alfredo? That name is included in the title of both the German and the Spanish Wikipedia article. Entheta 16:21, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

That is correct. His complete name is: Luis Alfredo Garavito Cubillos. Although the article name is Luis Garavito, if you search for "Luis Alfredo Garavito" you'll be redirected here. Hlasso 21:59, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Garavito.jpg

Image:Garavito.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
