 * ALT 1... a student witness to the Chardon High School shooting said her Math teacher, Joseph Ricci, had a bulletproof vest in his classroom that he wore during the crisis?
 * I think this alternative more accurately describes what was said.--Ishtar456 (talk) 19:13, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * ALT 2... that hundreds of Facebook users joined a counter-protested when the WBC announced they would protest the funeral of one of the  Chardon High School shooting victims?  --Ishtar456

 * ALT 3... that the Westboro Baptist Church did not protest the funeral of one of the Chardon High School shooting victims, as they planned, when thousands of Facebook users showed up to counter-protest?

 * Actually I have reviewed dozen of noms. I hope this one gets looked at.  I am favoring either ALT 1 or Alt 3.  Looking forward to the discussion.--Ishtar456 (talk) 10:54, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It's a sad statement about the state of education in America when a math teacher finds it necessary to have a bulletproof vest in his classroom. I prefer ALT1, but ALT3 and 4 check out.
 * Hook: All cited, all short enough. Prefer ALT1
 * Article: New enough, long enough. Well referenced. I think direct quotes are used a bit too heavily; we should preferably cut back on the number of quotes by paraphrasing them. Checks with the duplication detector (1, 2, 3) look okay.
 * Summary: Symbol question.svg I'd rather we cut back on the number of direct quotes, Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:43, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I cut out three quotes in the fatalities section. I do not think that the entire quote from the facebook page should be there, but that was someone else's contribution and I didn't want to be too picky.  For what it is worth, it does not count as part of the prose.  I really tried to quote only where I felt I needed to be as accurate as possible, avoiding BLP issues.  I will work on this more after work.  Thanks for looking at this.--Ishtar456 (talk) 11:26, 6 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I love the tweaking that you did. I tweaked some of the tweaks (especially the last paragraph) for accuracy. I want to thank you very much for your efforts. I think it is greatly improved. I took out the long facebook quote (because I am not sure it is relevant) and opened a discussion on the talk page. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.--Ishtar456 (talk) 21:32, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I struck out the two rejected hooks. I think either of the two that are left are important.  Your pick.--Ishtar456 (talk) 21:38, 6 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go with ALT1 or ALT3; up to the promoter which seems better. Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:58, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Note to Promoter: This has already been viewed over 70,000 times and has had a lot of IP edits. One tonight was an expression of sympathy for the victims right in the middle of the article. I can keep up with them now, but, could it be semi-protected while on the main page? Thanks.--Ishtar456 (talk) 02:46, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
