Aztec High School shooting
Hey, I'm happy to help you with the material you want to add to Aztec High School shooting, but the official police reports came to the conclusion that they couldn't determine a motive. We can discuss how to present your alternative POV and the other content you want to add with citations. Viriditas (talk) 22:37, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Here is a copy of the material you wanted to add:

When Atchison was 11 years old, he discovered the Encyclopedia Dramatica website, and eventually became a sysop for the website, where he would write and edit many School Shooting articles the site had to offer. He used his power to upload pictures of White Supremacist propaganda. Several ED admins went to the site's forums to complain but no action was presumably taken.

Whats the best source you have for this? It may have been covered by citations already in the article, such as The Daily Beast. Let me know, but don't add material like this unless it can be backed up with a good ref. Viriditas (talk) 22:39, 2 October 2022 (UTC)


 * his encyclopedia dramatica article is my source. He was a sysop on ED. Doomslaiyer (talk) 00:45, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Right, I totally understand. The thing is, we can't use that as a source on Wikipedia.  A good place to start is to see the link to the Daily Beast article I left you on the talk page.  You can use that as a source, but it won't support all of your material.  I'm hoping we can find sources that do, because I agree with what you are trying to do, but we are ultimately constrained by Wikipedia's policies and guidelines regarding sourcing.  In other words, I'm on your side. Viriditas (talk) 02:22, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
