Alice Sebold date of birth

First sentence of article gives year of birth as 1962. Caption of photo gives 1963. Don't know which is correct but the two dates should be deconflicted. Willmoon (talk) 01:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to change the 1962 date to 1963 as both biographies at IMDb and Goodreads say 1963 Optimale ^Gu 18:25, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I object to the characterization of Sebold's sodomy as "brutal". It violates NPOV by introducing the subjective idea that her assault was worst than another. This is not NPOV and should be removed at once. 74.69.9.224 (talk) 13:46, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Conviction Overturn

The overturn of Anthony Broadwater‘s conviction should be added. 2601:448:8400:31A2:C503:2BF1:7CD0:7FF9 (talk) 21:11, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The wording needs to change because as it is now, it is Broadwater's life story, not Sebold's. "Even after his release, Broadwater fought to get his conviction overturned" - this is not part of Sebold's life story. 124.37.83.250 (talk) 10:39, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Early life and eduction -- footnote irrelevant

In 2021, the man’s conviction was overturned due to “serious flaws” with the prosecution and concerns the wrong man had been sent to jail.[1]

This bookmark points to something which has nothing to do with the false testimony, wrongful conviction, and overturning of the case. The cited article is thirteen years old and the conviction was only overturned today.
