If you're voting in the second-round AfD, you should post over here, not in this talk page. == - Ageekgal 20:50, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
That was surprisingly painless. I'll copy here what I said elsewhere about why we should refrain from having another AfD, at least right away:
Sorry to say, but this is bullshit. Why don't you make an article about every bomb explosion in Iraq? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.210.235.79 ( talk) 11:01, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
You're an idiot. This isn't an attack in a war. It's a school shooting. Now, since no one but the retard behind the shooting died, it may not be as significant as other shootings. Still, speedy deletion seems inappropriate. 142.68.197.58 02:27, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
I don't see an "alleged" in there anywhere. We're declaring without any autopsy or physical evidence provided by reliable sources, that he was the shooter. Corvus cornix 23:09, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Now we're back to identifying the alleged shooter, even though there has been no official police report. Corvus cornix 20:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
I just recently made edits to a couple ages given, as the source cited differed from what was already listed (and unsourced here). However, subsequent sources seem to put the ages as having been correct to begin with. So, if anyone can corroborate and source the ages, do so and feel free to edit my age edits. Here's one source that differs from the one I referred to when making the age edits-- http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=nation_world&id=5701910 - Ageekgal 16:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure why the knee injury mention appears to be contentious. She is one of the injured, and depending on the severity of the knee injury ( severed/torn ACL?) she may need surgery. Reports said she'd been trampled trying to leave the school... she didn't fall in the parking lot that morning and twist her ankle, and get lumped into the casualty list--her injury is directly related to the shootings. At any rate, if others want it gone, I won't fight it, but I wanted to log my dissent here. I am not a neutral source on judging if said knee injury is non-notable, since I myself have undergone ACL reconstruction and the extensive rehab required after said surgery. So, I recognize 'knee injury' may seem more notable/serious an injury to me than it may to others. - Ageekgal 16:21, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Was his mother's maiden name really 'Looney'??? Ticklemygrits 13:55, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Apparently, the first student, Peek, punched Koon in the face because Koon bumped into him while leaving the bathroom. I felt this was important, as he apparently did it unprovoked - he didn't know Koon had guns, he just punched him for bumping into him.
Second, the fight being about the existance of God is according to other students; how reliable this is is a bit questionable, so we should say who said it. I don't doubt it, but I think we should make sure to say who says what, as these are not necessarily the most reliable of witnesses. Titanium Dragon 23:32, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
What happened to the blurred photo of the perpetrator? Where can we find an unblurred picture of the perpetrator? The guy is dead, does the whole protection for minors really apply anymore? Joe 03:16, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm going to state the obv, these assholes who take part in school shootings would get the death penalty anyway. 62.31.60.61 18:25, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
This isn't a glossy popular magazine. I've removed the quotation bubble, it looks melodramatic and serves no function that couldn't be served encyclopedically, in prose. 212.202.199.190 ( talk) 17:46, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
