Name and pronoun change to Rowan Jetté Knox[edit]

Rowan Jetté Knox has come out as a trans man. https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/08/02/author-rowan-jette-knox-comes-out-trans-man/ Article should be updated to reflect this. GayFesh (talk) 01:45, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Your cited source begins The Canadian author is known for his memoir Love Lives Here, ... The subject of this article is this Amanda Knox who is an American & is different than this Amanda Jetté Knox (now Rowan Jetté Knox), the Canadian author who wrote Love Lives Here.

Too much detail maintenance tag[edit]

I am going to work on addressing this maintenance tag message: "This article may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may interest only a particular audience". There is quite a bit background information in the body of the article. I am going to work on paring it down and putting some of it into notes.

Please comment with any additional thoughts or suggestions.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:49, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done, mostly by putting detailed content into notes see Amanda Knox#Notes. Also did a bit of editing to group duplicate info and (hopefully) in better chronological order.–CaroleHenson (talk) 01:37, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Italian court orders retrial in defamation ruling[edit]

On October 13 a court threw out the old conviction and ordered a re-trial.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/13/amanda-knox-slander-conviction-overturned-italy-retrial.

"However, Knox's conviction for committing defamation against Lumumba was upheld by all courts." should be edited.

My suggestion:

"In October 2023 it also overturned Knox's initial conviction for defamation against Lulumba and ordered a retrial (yet to be scheduled)."

This will help to quicker exonerate in the eyes of the public someone wrongfully convicted.
