Re: Template:October 6 selected anniversaries, today is the anniversary of the attack on Matthew Shepard. I'm worried that our write-up is needlessly wordy and sensational. It reads " 1998 - Gay-bashing & Hate crimes: University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard was viciously and fatally attacked for being gay." I think there is one too many adverbs and one too many categories. We should remove either "gay-bashing" or "hate crimes," and also remove the sensational word "viciously."

While other Jewish holidays have been mentioned in selected anniversaries, the Fast of Gedalia which this year ( 2005) falls today has not. It is minor so it need not be listed, but I thought I'd suggest it because its minor nature makes it even more curious. -- jnothman talk 02:22, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

While the attack was, in the end, the source of his death, the term "murder" implies that he died today. He was attacked, and died on the 12th. This wording leads the reader to believe that his attack and death occurred at the same time. While we should avoid too morbid of a description, perhaps it could be edited to read along the lines of "was attacked, leading to his death days later" or restoring "fatal attack" Antiwesley ( talk) 01:25, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
