Title change[edit]

Why is this the only one among all the categories dealing with school massacres where the name of the cat was changed? Badagnani 09:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Columbine?[edit]

Why isnt Columbine_High_School listed?----SPCBETTS 18:38, 19 November 2006 (UTC) 18:37, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Categorisation[edit]

Another editor reverted my removal of Category:School killings in the United States from the Category:Virginia Tech massacre, and I would contest his/her assertion that the cat is not redundant. I suppose it could come down to a definition of "school". The category Category:Virginia Tech massacre is already part of Category:University shootings.

By my definition, a "University", although a seat of learning, is not a "school", thus it can only be included in one and not the other. However, if a Uni IS considered a school, then the Category:University shootings should belong in the Category:School killings in the United States, and there would still be no need for the category to further appear in Category:Virginia Tech massacre or Virginia Tech massacre.

sorting Template needed[edit]

This list is nearly useless without dates. An alternate sorting, by date, would be so much better. Alphabetic sorting also nearly useless.Sadsaque (talk) 19:15, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
