Columbine High School massacre
"Hey there,

I noticed that you've contributed a significant portion, around 30%, to the Columbine High School massacre, and I must say, it's really well done! I'm genuinely curious about what drew you to this topic and how you went about researching it. Thanks a bunch!" MajesticRZ (talk) 18:33, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Kind of you to notice. It's a subject I could write a book on, and had to stop short of doing "original research." There is much of the usual story that requires revision. Reading "the 11k," the Jeffco/CNN CD, and playing video games from the time, seem the best way to research it. I think what drew me to the topic is the obvious absurdity of the usual story, and the absurdities being only countered with fanfiction from followers. For one, on the usual story the cafeteria bombs have failed at 11:17, and they move to "plan b" because of it, yet they are saying a bomb is about to explode the entire time in the library from 11:30 to 11:35, contradicting that story. They also toss pipe bombs at the bombs in order to detonate them, not just for fun, and that shows by itself how silly is the usual story. Tossing one was an easy alternative to moving to "plan B".

Analytic philosophy
I think you should send it to WP:peer review first, as there's more major issues. The biggest is that it's mostly a series of short sub-sections, some only a few sentences long. These should be summarized into bigger sections, such as "early history" or "later history", etc. There's also enough cross-pollination with Continental philosophy that both articles should have a section comparing them to each other, with a lot of the same wording and sourcing.

 * Feel free to try and flesh them out. I wouldn't oppose a section comparing/contrasting with continental philosophy. Cake  (talk) 04:14, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * There is probably enough book chapters and academic papers to make a full article on the subject contrasting the two as it frequently comes up. I'm just that I'm not up to it. Harizotoh9 (talk) 08:42, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Image sources?
How confident are you that this image is from 1924? The URL you provided as a source is dead. DS (talk) 21:38, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That's unfortunate the link was moved, but yes it was in a program printed prior to the game on October 18, 1924. Here it is again. Cake  (talk) 23:37, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks. I've imported the file to Commons, which I would've been reluctant to do if you hadn't been able to track that provenance. DS (talk) 15:09, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh, and just in case you were a) unaware of this detail and b) fretting about this, the import process means that the uploads are still attributed to you. DS (talk) 15:32, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
