Boldface type in lead section
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I've taken out the boldface type that you've inserted at 2016 shooting of Dallas police officers. Please see Manual_of_Style/Lead_section, under "Avoid common mistakes": "If the article's title does not lend itself to being used easily and naturally in the opening sentence, the wording should not be distorted in an effort to include it." See, for example, 2011 Mississippi River floods (no bold in type) and 2008 Times Square bombing (no bold in type). Neutralitytalk 03:52, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Citing reliable sources
Please do not insert text without citing a reliable source. Please carefully read and review Identifying reliable sources and Verifiability. Neutralitytalk 04:42, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Original research
Re this: Wikipedia can't do detective work. So even if we think the news media is wrong (and sometimes they are!) we cannot go off on our own and come up with what we think is the right answer. Please carefully and completely read Original research and Verifiability, not truth. Neutralitytalk 13:56, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Accepted Edit Request on Shooting of Philando Castile
Hello,

I have made the changes you requested to the Shooting of Philando Castile. I have removed the model information and left the make of the vehicle in tact.

Thank you,
