Talk:Charles Cullen

NPOV
Added an NPOV tag for the two sentences directly after the tag. Especially for those sentences, we need more specific references and citations than an archive of news-stories. Snpoj 23:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I changed tag to POV-section and moved it so it's not in the middle of the section. For the record the 2 sentences you seem to be referring to are: For example, Cullen seems to understand that his actions have caused patients' families deep distress and may have caused patients themselves to suffer. But he appears not to realize that this contradicts his desire to save patients from further pain and suffering. TimL 06:18, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I added some lines the most recent hearing on March 10, 2006 where Cullen had a cloth and duct tape put over his mouth. I know that there may be some POV concerns, but these events did actually happen. I would hope that if there is disagreement over the tone that people would attempt to improve those lines instead of engaging in wholesale deletion of the lines. JesseG 19:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Sources/footnotes would be nice to reference where all this information came from. The two articles listed as sources aren't even working links.

Clean Up!
Hi, all. I cleaned up the "Murders" section, and am planning to go on to do so to the rest of the page. I'm also considering adding a BLP tag to the top of the page (trust me, I'd like to say all the vile things in the world about Cullen - he worked at Somerset Medical while my mother was a patient there...Luckily, she was never seen or "assisted" by him. Anyway, I do, therefore, have something personal vested in his vilification, but WikiLaw is that we must have reliable sources to back up what we say about living people and this article has very little in the way of verifiable sources). I hope no-one objects to my fooling with the language used and adjusting it to be more objective, adding some links, and adding some Citation Needed tags. I think that my strength lies in the English language, but not so much in finding adequate sources. I hope that "team up" with me and add some quality reliable sources in that pursuit. Thanks and Cheers! "Yes... It's Raining " 23:44, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Charles Cullen is not the most prolific serial killer in American History. Gary Ridgway holds that title. 108.31.41.5 (talk) 18:39, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

29-35+ confirmed victims?
Shouldn't confirmed victims be a specific number? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephlet (talk • contribs) 21:05, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

"Murders" section ambiguity
In the second paragraph, the sentence "His final victim said that a 'sneaky male nurse' had injected her as she slept. However, family members and healthcare providers at the hospital dismissed her comments as unfounded." is rather ambiguous to me. I think "final victim" should be qualified to indicate that she was the final victim in this particular group of murders, but Cullen went on to commit other murders.

Furthermore, it is unclear whether this final victim was actually murdered, or if Cullen failed to actually kill her, as she was alive enough to make the statement. ZevFarkas (talk) 12:22, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Can’t edit- suggest changing “respirator” to ventilator
Under murders- “in February 1998, Cullen was hired by the Liberty Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he staffed a ward of respirator-dependent patients.”

Respirator should say ventilator I am assuming as a respirator is a mask. 2600:4040:5A55:CC00:8DBD:3571:149C:95B8 (talk) 05:13, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
