Talk:Parkland high school shooting/Archive 8

Incorrect title
Not only is it incorrect to title it "Parkland high school shooting" instead of "Parkland High School shooting", it is not "Parkland High School", it is Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The Sandy Hook shooting page is not "Newtown elementary shooting", the Robb Elementary School shooting is not titled "Uvalde elementary school shooting", and so on. This was a pointless change to a title that was perfectly fine as it was. Cawseases (talk) 21:54, 30 April 2023 (UTC)


 * High school is now in lower case letters because it is not the name of the school. The article title was changed, although my reading of the discussion above is that the consensus for change was not overwhelmingly strong and it should probably have been relisted or closed as no consensus..-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 06:59, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * For every other article, it is the name of the school. Cawseases (talk) 15:51, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * This is the WP:COMMONNAME for this event. Please see the closed discussion at (above) for further discussion/rationale. —Locke Cole • t • c 15:58, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing a strong consensus for this move in the discussion above, and it should probably have been relisted.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 17:45, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I do. And it was relisted initially, then closed nine days after that. —Locke Cole • t • c 19:02, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Misinformation
The shooting at MSD was in Parkland Fl. Parkland is a suburban city, 42 miles northwest of Miami, in northern Broward County, Florida, Not in Miami! 2601:589:407F:80F0:E8A7:798F:94E8:1D4B (talk) 12:49, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Where does it say the event was in Miami? The lede says "at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in the Miami suburban town of Parkland, Florida", and first line after the lede states "at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, an affluent suburb about 30 miles (48 km) northwest of Fort Lauderdale and 45 miles (72 km) northwest of Miami". - Adolphus79 (talk) 13:07, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Cruz
Nikolas Cruz and the "perpetrator" section of this article are almost exact duplicates of each other... it needs to be drastically condensed if there is a separate article... - Adolphus79 (talk) 00:18, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Rifle did not malfunction
An weapons expert at the trial against Cruz testified that he made test fires through the weapon and it is still in working condition. After failing to shoot out the windows in the lounge on the third floor, he decided to give up, dropping his rifle and fleeing the school. TigerProwlTactical (talk) 23:55, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

August 2023
Today I have had to revert a considerable amount of sloppy edits. The root cause was adding material based on a mixture of WP:OR and WP:HIJACK. Since this is a high profile article, any significant changes should be properly sourced before adding them.  ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 18:45, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
