Hi! Vati asked me to chime in here, although he doesn't know what I'm going to say as I write this. The lead of Columbine High School massacre says that it's most commonly referred to as "Columbine", so I think we're good on that front – plus, a short hook with the boldlink close to the front is best. I think ALT3 is the best we've got so far – the book title doesn't really add that much to the hook, and if we add it, we have to add the context in separately. theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her) 02:01, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Will take a look at this. On a quick scan, seems to be in good shape: an interesting topic and one where careful decisions are called for on our part. This is not an area I know much about, so I apologise in advance if my content points betray that.

A few bits of the article read as slightly verbose, which isn't a problem for GA but might be worth a look over.
loc=
parameter, rather than making extra citations?

19:05, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Could I please have the quotation from the source to support the following:
[...] said Brown, who befriended Harris when they were freshmen at Columbine. When Harris and Brown feuded over rides to school, Harris posted a death threat against Brown and others on the internet [...] Because both boys wanted to be friends with Klebold, they made up shortly before the assault.Looking back over this one, I've removed "and his family", which was from the book itself and mixed up with that one -- sorry! Vaticidal prophet 01:15, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
Behind this smoke screen, school administrators underreport the number of firearms confiscated by as much as 100 percent and have done little to make schools safer [...] Other effective approaches include mediation, recognizing due process rights, more accurate monitoring of and reporting on school violence, and more adults at school [...] Brown and Merritt concentrate on Brown's singular story, as they must. But an account of troubled individuals is only part of the story of the school safety problem. Politics is another part [...] At the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Mental Health in the Schools, in Maryland and California, have been comparatively more effective, but they are underfunded.Vaticidal prophet 01:15, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
Brooks Brown, a former friend of Harris's and Klebold's, published one of the early books claiming to present the true story of Columbine: No Easy Answers: The Truth Behind Death at Columbine [...] The public's need for answers to the many unresolved social and spiritual questions raised by the tragedy proved to be profitable for many U.S. publishers. Amazon.com currently lists nearly two thousand titles related to the "Columbine school shooting."Vaticidal prophet 01:15, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
