References

Could you add a reference for this person? Out of caution, we are trying to make sure all the people listed in criminal categories have verifiable sources, even stubs. Thanks --FloNight 20:41, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest a source or appropriate citation be added for the claim in the Josef Fritzel paragraph that the pair is 'hated by everyone at Wakefield prison'. Comes across as conjectural. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonathonnoble (talk • contribs) 19:04, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Evil"

This word keeps being removed, and someone keeps putting it back in. Reminder: this is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid newspaper. No matter your opinionn, there are certain language standards for an encyclopedia and not using emotive words is one of them. nebbish 10.53 8 August 2007

Sidney Cooke has often been referred to as Britian's worst paedophile, and similar descriptions. There are very few people as dangerous as him, despite his age. Whilst I agree with the above comment and don't personally add such words as 'evil' to Wikipedia biographies, it is a very commonly used word to describe this leader of an exceptionally sadistic gang that have committed some of the worst sexual offences against vulnerable young boys, for kicks. It is very difficult not to feel strong, justified hatred against Cooke, which is probably why such wording is used. Werdnawerdna (talk) 15:40, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The reference to "non-consensual anal sex" should be replaced by sodomised or such, the implication being that it is possible to have consensual sex of any kind with a 7 year old. Not in these islands. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.253.79 (talk) 17:21, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
