Fix Rose Bundy's Birth Year

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}): Rose Bundy's birth year should say 1981 not 1982
Why it should be changed: Because 1981 is her correct birth year
References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4]

none of those are reliable sources, but I made the change based on an existing reference. Rainsage (talk) 02:37, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Minor Adjustment

In the section describing Bundy's execution, someone contributed "Bundy rejected his last food," citing a Spanish internet article. I looked at the article (in translation) and found the quote: "Bundy refused to choose a last meal, so he was served steak, eggs, hash browns and toast, which is the basic fare that row death inmates receive if they do not have a preference." On the "Last Meal" Wikipedia page, Bundy's last meal is described (citing two English-language articles): "[Bundy] Declined a special meal, so he was given (but did not eat) the traditional steak (medium-rare), eggs (over easy), hash browns, toast, milk, coffee, juice, butter, and jelly." I suggest adjusting the article w/r/t Bundy's last meal on this page, as there seems to be potential for improving the sources and phrasing. SpaceJim (talk) 20:25, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
