Jeffrey Dahmer has been listed as a level-5 vital article in People, Criminals. If you can improve it, please do. This article has been rated as B-Class.
"Mr. Dahmer, whose victims were mostly black, Hispanic and Asian men and boys"
"Mr. Scarver, who is black, expressed hostility toward whites. When asked by a psychiatrist whether he thought his own sentence was just, Mr. Scarver replied: "Nothing white people do is just.""
For the past two years, a victim's relative (Rita Isbell who is black) said, she has been getting telephone calls from men identifying themselves as prison inmates, offering condolences and promises that Mr. Dahmer would be "taken care of." The last call came about six months ago. "You don't know me," Ms. Isbell quoted the caller as saying. "I'm up here with Jeffrey Dahmer. Don't worry. We'll take care of it."'
Our article makes no mention of any of this. -- GreenC 23:58, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
I said on here a few years ago Scarver's claims are ludicrous (gloating about his crimes via making dismembered limbs out of his food and using ketchup to simulate blood, aparently showing Dahmer an article covering his trial before asking him if the claims were true before attacking him etc.) Scarver apparently said to the guy he shot "Do you think I'm kidding, Mister Hitler?" Anderson was convicted of a highly-publicized tial in which he murdered his wife and blamed her death on black perpetrators. It is quite obvious what at least some of Scarver's motivations were. Also, sources are contradictory, but, some state Dahmer was once gang raped by blacks in the 1980s while incarcerated and this may have festered prejudices. Just my opinion, but I disagree.
He always stated it was body form, not color, which attracted his attention. Got to consider the demographics of his neighborhood and the locations he searched for his victims. He also said black males were more likely to have the hairless torsos he preferred as opposed to whites. Maybe this should be morphed into the article. I think Scarver's claims (while I believe seeking to have his "story told") should be removed or, at least, heavily trimmed.--Kieronoldham (talk) 00:33, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
To be honest I can't really follow what your saying because it is so digressive. In 1994, the New York Times reported significant issues related to the case not included in this article. They are listed above. Apparently the idea that a black man might have taken revenge on a white man due to racial motivations is either not credible ("Scarver's claims are ludicrous") or it is obvious ("It is quite obvious what at least some of Scarver's motivations were"). I feel as though you are all over the place, but not homing in on the core issue and what the reliable source says. -- GreenC 21:16, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
That comment was over four months ago. I am not denying the source is reliable, or the claims. Yeah I did meander a little into the later claims Scarver made years later as I just don't personally believe Scarver's claims the guards deliberately left him alone with Dahmer to kill him, that he made a point of making body parts out of his food to taunt inmates, or that he held a copy of a newspaper article to Dahmer's face asking if the claims were true before launching his attack. That wasn't what was discussed. Initial ref. should be included. A few years ago there was content regarding Dahmer being known to be at risk and requiring protection from guards wherever he went. Not there anymore, I see. Perhaps a paragraph containing the above information could be added below the paragraph beginning with the words: "In July 1994, a fellow inmate, Osvaldo Durruthy, attempted to slash Dahmer's throat"?--Kieronoldham (talk) 21:31, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

edit the location where the first murder victim (Steven Hicks) was heading to. It currently says that he was heading to Lockwood Corners when he was actually heading to Chippewa Lake Park to see a band called Pegasus(The show he was supposed to go to).
On June 18,[44] Dahmer picked up a hitchhiker named Steven Mark Hicks, who was almost 19.[45][46] Dahmer lured the youth to his house on the pretext of the two young men drinking alcohol together. Hicks, who had been hitchhiking to a rock concert by the band Pegasus at the Chippewa Lake Park,[47] agreed to accompany Dahmer to his house. According to Dahmer, after several hours drinking and listening to music, Hicks "wanted to leave and [I] didn't want him to."[48]
In the top of the talk section, it states that the good article review for this page was stopped on the year 2999? This should be fixed accordingly, I don't think we're heading for the fourth millennium anytime soon.Josharaujo1115 (talk) 02:09, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
Overlooked vandalism from lat year, Josharaujo1115. The page was archived shortly after the vandalism. I have fixed it. Regards,--Kieronoldham (talk) 02:35, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place to address the redirect Dhamer. The discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 July 20#Dhamer until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:21, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
