Talk:Buffalo Bill (character)

message: I thought James Norton was Gumb's first victim.
Buffalo bills incorrectly spelt name was jamie gumb, not james gumb
It needs to be double-checked, but I believe Gumb's dog, Precious, was in fact a bichon frise, rather than a toy poodle. - CNichols 18:03, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Should Mrs. Lippman be metioned? After all, Jame Gumb was living in her house. The house he was in wasn't his. Mrs. Lippman's rotting corpse was the one in the bathtub that Clarice found RIGHT before "Bill" pulled the breakers, turning off the lights in the basement. --Majinvegeta 07:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I have noticed countless times on wiki that people like to use words that really have no place in the sentences that they choose. For example on this wiki entry regarding Buffalo Bill, they use the term 'modus operandi' instead of simply saying method or method of operation. I have been scolded in the past for making edits and changes to excessive use of fancy words that really just confuse certain readers in the first place or break concentration by having the user click the link to find out the meaning and/or definition. I simple want to know why people choose these bizarre and excessive word choices when there are far better ways to be blunt and informative. This site isn't about writing style it's about objective information, so I guess I'm asking if it's ok to make a change to remove terms like 'modus operandi'.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grindking (talk • contribs) 20:05, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
