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)[reply]
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.
