Title
This article is not about a bombing. This article is about an armed stand-off, a shoot out, the bombing, the fire, and the aftermath.

I propose "1985 MOVE confrontation". Comments? - Sum mer PhD v2.0 04:43, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * It seems that the cited use of bombs is what changed the event from a standoff/confrontation into a bombing. (not watching, please )  czar  21:49, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The cited use of bombs added a bombing to the confrontation, otherwise, we would have separate articles for the armed stand-off, shoot out, bombing, and fire. This article is about all of those, not just the bombing. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 06:55, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , the current title reads as if MOVE itself bombed something, which is of course incorrect. I propose to change the title to 1985 MOVE standoff, which I think is the better word to describe the incident. StonyBrook (talk) 23:21, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "Standoff" seems rather passive for the events described. Is it more of a "confrontation"? - Sum mer PhD v2.0 03:36, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Number of houses destroyed
The lead says, "Sixty-one homes burned to the ground over two city blocks", but the Incident section says, "The fire spread and eventually destroyed approximately sixty-five nearby houses". Which wording is correct / should be used consistently? JezGrove (talk) 17:36, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

cremated remains
An NPR item today (14 May 2021) says there was an apology for having the remains cremated without asking or informing relatives. Kdammers (talk) 04:48, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
