- skyfyre, on 11/12/2009, -1/+134Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of knowledge. You can't change what you did, you murdering *****.
- ToddSchishler, on 11/12/2009, -2/+104"His rehabilitation and his future life outside the prison system is severely impacted by your unwillingness to anonymize any articles dealing with the murder of Mr. Sedlmayr with regard to our client’s involvement,”
His future life outside the prison system is severely impacted by the fact that he ***** killed somebody.
/facepalm - kartman2001, on 11/12/2009, -4/+92FTA: "Our client has served 15 years of his life sentence for murdering Mr. Sedlmayr in 1990. He has been released on parole [sic] in August 2007. His rehabilitation and his future life outside the prison system is severely impacted by your unwillingness to anonymize any articles dealing with the murder of Mr. Sedlmayr with regard to our client’s involvement,”
Spare us your murdering piece of *****. He was convicted of murder and released on parole? Now he wants his privacy. This isn't like some ridiculous sex offender list, he ***** killed somebody. I feel so bad that the article would hamper his getting back to a normal life when he should spend the rest of his life in jail, or be executed. WTF Germany? - BrandonJM, on 11/12/2009, -0/+77You better listen to the guy, he's killed before.
- tradeplumbing, on 11/12/2009, -1/+65Uh... what part of "Convicted Murderer" did they miss? Wiki are just stating what a Court of Law has declared fact. Don't like it? Tough. I'm sure the man you murdered didn't much like it either...
- BadBoyFTW, on 11/12/2009, -0/+58Congratulations! By drawing this much attention to yourself your Wikipedia page will now get about 40'000% more hits than if you'd just shut your murdering mouth.
- slvrbullet87, on 11/12/2009, -0/+53If you dont want to be known as a murderer then maybe you shouldnt murder people
- JCH897, on 11/12/2009, -0/+44Tough cookies, *****. You kill, you get a Wikipedia page. He should consider himself lucky...I've tried many a time to get my own wiki. Maybe I should kill someone...
- Smokeydabear, on 11/12/2009, -2/+45Hey murder guy! Go suck a dick.
- sentinel106, on 11/12/2009, -0/+29[citation needed]
- twiztidsinz, on 11/12/2009, -13/+42Funny...
1990 is the same year that Glenn Beck allegedly raped and murdered a girl... Is there a connection???
I DON'T KNOW BUT I SEEM TO BE THE ONLY ONE WHO'S ASKING THESE QUESTIONS! - thanakar, on 11/12/2009, -1/+29A convicted sex offender is registered and tracked for life but a convicted murderer doesn't have to be registered?
- Fhwqhgads, on 11/12/2009, -0/+25This guy doesn't know how the Internet works:
you whine and bitch about something and/or try to censor it, it expands to all corners of the Internet and millions more people know about it than if you'd kept your mouth shut. - acknotSW, on 11/12/2009, -0/+24If you killed him, you might get a citation on his page and just maybe a link to your very own. Dare to dream!
- dagnabbit, on 11/12/2009, -2/+25He murdered someone in 1990, and then he sues a website to silence his critics? Where have I heard this before?
http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles ... - wesw02, on 11/12/2009, -1/+23Haha, good luck with that, suing someone for keeping public records.
- ToddSchishler, on 11/12/2009, -1/+23"In 1990, Walter Sedlmayr was murdered. Unfortunately, we can't tell you who did it."
This is essentially what they want Wikipedia to do. - d0kk3n, on 11/12/2009, -5/+27he murdered someone. he deserves it. I heard he also raped and murdered a girl in 1990.
- yppupdurc, on 11/12/2009, -0/+21http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
- sten0257, on 11/12/2009, -0/+21This isn't HIS wiki page. It's the page of the person he killed. What is the page going to say? "This person was killed by [censored]." Come on... Honestly, it's a matter of public record. It has NOTHING to do with privacy.
- nyxerebos, on 11/12/2009, -0/+20Attention GoogleBot: Wolfgang Werle was convicted of the murder of Bavarian actor Walter Sedlmayr.
And now it's in the cache of every search engine which indexes this page. You'd think if he wanted anonymity he wouldn't be calling so much attention to this, I'd never heard of him before now. - rolls20s, on 11/12/2009, -0/+19Now instead of just being in a single note on a Wikipedia page, the guy's name is plastered all over the Internet because of the suit, typically with the words, "Convicted murderer" in the titles of the articles...
- Otto, on 11/12/2009, -2/+21>> "This isn't something you can debate, you can only have dialogue on this subject like as with abortion because it's different views and beliefs of how things should be done."
1. You can debate anything.
2. Beliefs and views can be wrong too.
3. You are an idiot. - MikeFromAmerica, on 11/12/2009, -0/+16Stupid countries, stupid laws.
- SteveMax, on 11/12/2009, -4/+18Different countries, different laws.
- NineOfSwords, on 11/12/2009, -0/+14No one should be able to put a gag on the truth. The reality is that Wolfgang Werle killed a man. I do believe in redemption but part of that redemption is acknowledging what you did and accepting the consequences there of.
- miket, on 11/12/2009, -0/+14Hey that post looks familiar! Anyway, that still doesnt change the fact that he murdered someone. Unless you do not believe that WAS murder!
- Culyt, on 11/12/2009, -1/+14Brannigan's law is like Brannigan's love, hard and fast!
- Elohir, on 11/12/2009, -0/+13Wait, so are you trying to say that Wolfgang Werle was convicted of the murder of Bavarian actor Walter Sedlmayr? As in, Wolfgang Werle murdered Walter Sedlmayr? Or alternatively, Walter Sedlmayr was murdered by Wolfgang Werle?
- shodanx, on 11/12/2009, -1/+14*yawn*
that's the best you got troll ? - Fhwqhgads, on 11/12/2009, -0/+12>>>What if you had a page and it said that you commited adultery on a certain date, or are a bad father because you left your wife and family in the past.
That would be libel, unless, of course, you actually did it. Then you deserve it and there's ***** all you can do about it.
Looks like I need to once again post this: No matter how much of a scumbag someone is, there will always be someone defending them. - leetninja, on 11/12/2009, -0/+12hes been there and done that ...
- toxicityj, on 11/12/2009, -0/+11so THAT'S how you get a wikipedia page. okay, okay.... brb.
- swimmin00, on 11/12/2009, -0/+11now that's a comic book character I'd like to see: Murder Guy.
- SpeedSteamBoat, on 11/12/2009, -0/+11I think he should be allowed to return to a normal life at exactly the same time the person he murdered can.
- MikeFromAmerica, on 11/12/2009, -0/+11You must live in a different America than I do. In my country, you can sue anyone for any random ***** you can think of. You might not win but you still force them to waste time and money to defend themselves.
- stronglikedan, on 11/12/2009, -0/+11Wolfgang Werle and his half-brother Manfred Lauber, the guys who murdered Bavarian actor Walter Sedlmayr, are in for a rude awakening.
- nyxerebos, on 11/12/2009, -0/+10yeah, you said that already.
- LittleDas, on 11/12/2009, -1/+11From a legal (and moral, if you put any stock in our system at all) point of view he's paid his debt to society and deserves no further punishment. Honestly I feel that the guy should just be left alone. However, that in no way gives him the right to restrict information of public record for his own convenience. Who the ***** does he think he is?
- jjesusfreak01, on 11/12/2009, -2/+12Different countries, stupid laws.
- the8thbit, on 11/12/2009, -0/+10He already served his time, however, this is different from a sex offender list in that it doesn't directly and legally impede the offender. The issue with a sex offender list is not that the individual is listed, (there are public records of all offense in the US, and as far as I know in Germany as well, though I could be incorrect.) but of what being a sex offender requires of them, as well as the ridiculous offenses which get you listed on a sex offender list.
- lurrch1, on 11/12/2009, -0/+10We must respect his rights! Just like he always respected the rights of others!
- Hrodrik, on 11/12/2009, -0/+9I think everyone should Digg this article just to teach him a lesson about not messing with Wikipedia.
And not killing. - TheUngod, on 11/12/2009, -0/+9I dunno about in Germany, but in the US you can't sue someone for telling the truth, even if it's malicious. Instead of trying to hide what you did, maybe you should try to atone for it *****.
- ilpalazzo, on 11/12/2009, -0/+8The more you hate it, the strongest it becomes.
Wikipedia has only a german and an english article on Walter Sedlmayr.
To every non-german non-english native speaker : traduce Walter Sedlmayr's wikipedia page to your own native language. - freakincampers, on 11/12/2009, -0/+8And your point? He must still disclose that he killed someone.
- Shawn4168, on 11/12/2009, -0/+7What law? American law? Or do you know for a fact that this is German law?
- Iceman21, on 11/12/2009, -0/+7Yeah, he served his time, however the person he killed is well...dead, and now he wants to hide the fact he was the murderer?
Hell no. - LotusBamboo, on 11/12/2009, -0/+7I'm inclined to agree with cab driver, I understand what you mean though doctor. That punishment breeds retaliation and rehabilitation breeds progress. The problem is we have no way to rehabilitate him. So the safest way for the population to avoid being killed by him is to know who he is and act accordingly. Taking someone's life is a rather large "mistake", no situation he is in right now is impossible, but of course there are lasting consequences.
And nothing the government does would stop me from thinking of him as a "killer", and being cautious about associating with him. - Smokeydabear, on 11/12/2009, -0/+7Murder Guy and his trusty sidekick The Involuntary Manslaughter Kid.
