Please remove the quotation at the end of the Reactions section as it has no reliable source verifying it, and since the article has been fully protected (!!) most of us can't do anything about it. The Rambling Man ( talk) 06:56, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, The Rambling Man. The full protection was indeed a knee jerk reaction by the Administrator. I am glad they rethought their action. Banana Republic ( talk) 14:41, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
Well, that was short-lived. El_C 09:53, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Virginia Beach shooting → 2019 Virginia Beach shooting – While this is currently the only shooting in Virginia Beach that is notable, and hopefully always will be, it is not the only shooting that has ever taken place in Virginia Beach. Per wp:CONCISE. Bneu2013 ( talk) 17:13, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
Do any editors have a sense of how close this entry may be to meeting Good article criteria, or even care to take the plunge nominating the article? --- Another Believer ( Talk) 21:47, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello everyone. I am a native of Virginia Beach. My main concern for this page possibly not reaching "Good article" criteria is that the names of the 12 victims who had died in this tragic event are not listed.
I am aware that there is a discussion for that to be left up to the people (even the family members of the deceased). I respect that. I also would like a Poll for a decision for that if Polls are allowed here.
That is all I want to say.

"if you are asserting that there is a policy or guideline limiting the number of RfCs that I should close on a similar topic""Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy...rules are not the purpose of the community". "There are currently 39,873,393 Wikipedia accounts, of which 129,266 are actively editing".
"Further, it is a red herring to assert that the first of these four closes was influenced by those which followed". Straw man argument. Bus stop ( talk) 14:10, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
