[edit] Discussion

Copyright violation - Plot summary is a cut and paste of the publishers PR. Tarpy 21:41, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Content removed

Hi, I removed the text "H.H. Holmes was also a resident in the Southside of Chicago." Needs verified. Yuser31415 (Editor review two!) 23:04, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it is a major part of the book that Holmes lived in Englewood, a neighborhood on Chicago's south side, and so this is an uncontroversial claim. But I agree that it should be excised -- as it was, it was oddly located in the article, apropos of nothing in particular, and does not significantly fill out the content of the page.

[edit] Pietzel

The writer has spelled the name inconsistently throughout. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.185.221.100 (talk) 05:10, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
