Talk:Jared Fogle

Change to past tense
The article currently reads:

A three-part documentary film about Fogle and his crimes called Jared from Subway: Catching A Monster will be broadcast on the ID pay TV network in March 2023.

"will be" should be changed to "was", as the documentary has now been broadcast. Also "film" should possibly be more accurately changed to "series". 67.240.255.23 (talk) 01:32, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Order in the lead
I think we can agree that we only need to mention the conviction once in the first paragraph, right?

This has been discussed before, in August 2021. Please read that discussion. GA-RT-22 (talk) 21:19, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Upbringing Religion
Fogle was brought up in a Jewish household by father Norman Fogle and mother Adrienne Fogle. 2605:A601:A720:4100:E4FE:CADE:3D5F:8FA4 (talk) 22:42, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

 * It's super common to mention someone's religious upbringing in their biography, yes Red   Slash  21:28, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * His Jewish upbringing is already mentioned in the "Early life" section. Cullen328 (talk) 21:31, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Unnecessary template
There was a template to convert his pant size from inches to centimeters, which I changed to straight text because it didn't produce a grammatically (or numerically) correct result. The template produced "62 in (160 cm) pants"; for encyclopedic writing, it should be "62-inch (157-centimeter) pants". First, since the initial measurement isn't rounded to the tens, the conversion shouldn't be either. Using the common conversion factor of 2.48 cm = 1 in, 62 converts to 157.48, which should then be rounded to 157, not 160. (This strikes me as an error in the template.) Second, according to the Template:Cvt page, "in" should have resulted in "inches", so I don't know what happened there but it would have been incorrect anyway. Third, abbreviations shouldn't be used in formal writing. Fourth, the hyphen is required grammatically and to make sense (and I couldn't get it to work in the template). Lastly, since this is a static number, it's not necessary to have a template formula-- it's never going to have to be converted again, so plain text is adequate.
