Adding strikethroughs as I use the sources :) Freikorp ( talk) 12:34, 16 December 2014 (UTC) reply

I added an image, portals and the see also link "Assassination threats against Barack Obama". Should this article also be added to a category related to the Presidency of Barack Obama, or is that a stretch? --- Another Believer _{( Talk)} 16:06, 16 December 2014 (UTC) reply

Having re-read the article, I think it should be associated with Barack Obama somehow. I added the article to his Presidency category, though there may be a better option. --- Another Believer _{( Talk)} 16:17, 16 December 2014 (UTC) reply

@ Freikorp: Great job expanding the article! Can you think of another image worth adding to the article? (Not required, just curious.) This article just might be GA-ready, unless you think some info may be missing. --- Another Believer _{( Talk)} 16:21, 17 December 2014 (UTC) reply

I've nominated it for GA. What would be perfect would be a view of the White House from Constitution Avenue, but unfortunately Commons doesn't seem to have a photo of that. I can't think of anything else that would be relevant. If I knew exactly what rifle was used i'd try to get a copy of that, but 'Cugir semiautomatic rifle' isn't specific enough. Freikorp ( talk) 06:22, 20 December 2014 (UTC) reply

I added an area map of the White House showing where shots were fired from instead. Cheers for adding the image of the Truman Balcony by the way :) Freikorp ( talk) 06:29, 20 December 2014 (UTC) reply

What about this picture or this picture? They seem to show the right angle, no? --- Another Believer _{( Talk)} 06:34, 20 December 2014 (UTC) reply

Much better, thanks. Freikorp ( talk) 06:57, 20 December 2014 (UTC) reply

Are all of the links and categories added here appropriate? --- Another Believer _{( Talk)} 02:43, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Category:Christian terrorism is already a subcategory of Category:Religious terrorism and Category:Persecution by Christians, so there is no need to list the categories together. I am not certain whether Category:Christian fundamentalism should be used for Christianity-inspired violence. Dimadick ( talk) 09:48, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply

I removed Category:Religious terrorism and Category:Persecution by Christians. I am not sure about Category:Christian fundamentalism, either. --- Another Believer _{( Talk)} 16:16, 18 June 2016 (UTC) reply
