Questions on Neo-Nazi symbols

Way back in 2016 User:Emperor001 asked about other Neo-Nazi symbols Roof often displayed. The closes thing I can remember was that besides his jacket which contained the "Confederate Battle Flag," he also had flags of the "Union of South Africa" and the "Rhodesian flag" embroiled on his jacket. -------User:DanTD (talk) 03:47, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is the adverb "wildly" justified in its use to depict how something is described. At the end of the first paragraph summarize the content on this Wikipedia page. I sense that it would be more concise to simply get rid of it from the paragraph. 2604:3D09:6A7A:CB20:B518:DA7C:CBF8:566 (talk) 01:12, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: it is actually "widely", which is why there are 7 different sources cited for it. LizardJr8 (talk) 02:28, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove line stating he is currently on death row. It has no citation and in the previous line states he is serving life without parole. 2600:1702:2370:2E10:AE8E:BBE7:9D8:7FBE (talk) 08:13, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The execution sentence is for the federal convictions mentioned at the beginning of the paragraph. I have clarified that, and added a NYT source to his being housed in TH. LizardJr8 (talk) 01:16, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
