Related incidents and arrests
A minor detail, but this section has a [needs update] notice, apparently referring to the case of the 30-year old man who was seeking to sue the police for false arrest after he was temporarily detained for wearing camouflage gear. Is this the same Christchurch man who was later jailed for unrelated offences? (The name and age match.) That might explain why we've heard nothing more about his "wrongful arrest" lawsuit.

 * And that's not today's only newspaper article mentioning someone peripherally related being in another incident... Daveosaurus (talk) 06:35, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * There can't be many people of that age called Stephen Millar around Papanui, so it probably is the same person. It should be remembered that on the day soon after it happened there was total confusion in Christchurch with various messages being broadcast on the radio. It was thought there was a group of shooters involved in a wider shooting rampage and people were advised to stay inside. That would sort of explain why the police with a gun arrested Millar - a guy in military style clothing outside a school. It might sound an over reaction now but at the time it seemed to be an understandable error. However, if Millar is the same person, the police might back then have known he owned or used guns, so they had another reason for arresting him. Unless a source says it's the same person, we cannot add it to the article, or speculate. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 06:56, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I would have thought some journalist might have picked up on it. "Man wrongfully arrested by police last year now rightfully arrested" or something like that. Muzilon (talk) 07:08, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

The Tarrant Effect
An article has been created called Tarrant effect. That article has been nominated for deletion. The deletion discussion is here. OrewaTel (talk) 08:35, 21 January 2024 (UTC)


 * would certainly be good to dive deeper into his legacy on Mass murderers, 4chan and white supremacists. What did the Tarrant effect article contain? I can't find a history. Also, I don't think titling an article like that the "Tarrant effect" woul be appropriate per wikipedia standards. Naming it Christchurch shooting legacy or something along those lines would be better. Elizzaflanagan221 (talk) 11:31, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Sentence
The terrorist received 52 life sentences + 480 years. Genberg47 recently edited the infobox to reflect this. It is interesting that until then, the "Sentence" part had read "life imprisonment without the possibility of parole". Sure, the perpetrator will never be released, but I agree with this edit. Among other articles, multiple life sentences are noted at Terry Nichols, for example. 2A02:AB04:2B5:7200:8057:82C6:D9EA:5BB7 (talk) 16:04, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
