Talk:Alexander Pichushkin

message: Is there a good reason for not just saying "up to 63"?  Also, where does the number 63 come from, I checked the reuters link and it says he was convicted of 49 murders, but asked the court to add 11 more, which makes 60.  Maybe there's a good reason for this, which is why I just left it as is, but the link provided doesn't seem to support that.

thread_title:  Up to 61-63? 

message: Almost every link (that works) gives different numbers for the amount of people he was convicted of and/or claimed to have killed.  Maybe 48-63 would be a good figure for this article.

thread_title:  Conflicting Figures 

message: The original source was removed during a rewording, but I believe it was AP. However, the BUKHARBAYEVA article is a good representation.
The reason for the wording is this:
He was CONVICTED of 48 of 49 murders.
He is KNOWN to have almost certainly committed 61 murders.
He CLAIMED he committed 63 murders.
Just as in the US and Europe, killers are not necessarily tried on every single murder they commit.
I hope this clarifies. --UnicornTapestry (talk) 08:10, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Numbers 

message: The news.com.au reference titled 'Russian chess player on trial for 49 alleged murders' is no longer a valid link. A search of news.com.au reveals a number of Pichushkin links, so I suggest the link either be corrected or removed.

thread_title:  Reference Removal 

message: IT does seem he was tried for 49 and found guilty of 49, but the references are confused on this. If he admitted another 11 and admitted the 49 then we are looking at 60 unless there is more citeable information out there Rich Farmbrough, 05:49 25 October 2008 (UTC).

Another editor suggested this translator to me awhile back: http://multiz.com/translator.php; however, I haven't gotten around to trying it out. --mo talk 06:46, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Figures again 

message: Could it be possible to add details about his early life into the article I notice that the introduction is laid out, but the information immediately leaps to details concerning his first victim being murdered in 1992. I could potentially add some info about his early life, but I won't do it right now, since as I'm writing this, I'm using a computer that isn't my own; I'm more comfortable on my own computer than the one I'm currently using. Peace. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 04:10, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Early life 

message: Hi, this is my first time adding a wikipedia reference (that I used the template for) so if I referenced it wrong I am quite sorry on that, if it is improper could someone please fix it. Thank you.--Summi Imperatoris (talk) 15:35, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reference 2 (Growing Skull Fracture of Temporal Bone in Adults: A Case Report and Literature Review) 

message: Little confused by the inclusion of the claim that Pichushkin was in competition with Andrei Chikatilo , "who was convicted in 2007." By the year 2007, Andrei Chikatilo had been dead for 13 years, having been convicted and executed in 1994. Did the person who added this line confuse Chikatilo with someone else, or is this just poorly researched speculation? 80.2.22.188 (talk) 23:12, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
