1966 Shootings
My apologies if this isn't the correct way to respond to the question you posted within the article about the 1966 shootings at UT Austin. You asked, re: the change to the name of Claire Wilson James in the article, "Was she married posthumously?" I'm not sure whether you were actually asking "Was she married after the shooting?" or you were asking amusingly "Are you saying she married after she died?" This victim, named Claire Wilson at the time of the shooting, did not die, although she did lose her unborn child. The child is listed as "Baby Boy Wilson" and the mother is listed as "Claire Wilson" in the lists of deaths and injuries further down the article. Prior to the change I made, she was listed in that paragraph as Claire James, James being her name by a marriage at some point after the event. Claire Wilson James is the way she is listed in the credits of the documentary "Tower" that was released last year. Best, 2602:306:3205:4760:2504:ED9C:1748:B4BE


 * I assumed she died because of the way the article was written, and I believe it said that her husband was shot and killed trying to help her, so I thought it was unlikely that she got married after that even if she lived. My comment was just to make sure whoever was editing it and was uncertain on which name to use knew what really happened and had sources. For sure use her married name. :) Weegee (talk)  (contribs) 01:39, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Anti-Vandalism
I see you like to fight vandalism, have you considered joining the CVU? - ZLEA  ( Talk, Contribs ) 19:23, 19 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, I've contacted 2 different teachers. 1 of them said to ask them in a month or so, and the other hasn't responded yet and judging by their talk page and recent contribs they are inactive. All the other teachers are in different timezones, but I'm going to ask those teachers next. I've also applied for rollback which was denied and I'm waiting to see if I can get access to STiki w/o rollback at their talk page. :) Weegee (talk)  (contribs) 20:39, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Howdy from fellow RCP/CVU Vandal Policeman
Hello, Weegeeweeg! I see you have been active in combatting vandalism here on Wikipedia! For that I say thanks! and welcome to the mop club! :). I noticed that you are trying to get access to tools that will help you advance your anti-vandal efforts. If I may give you some advice from personal experience:
 * Wait to be extensive confirmed before asking for perm.
 * That is just my opinion, but I have found that having >500 edits and being around for more than a month will increase your cred in the eyes of PERM admins.


 * Ask for Pending Change Reviewers perm first
 * If you can demonstrate competency in determining the difference between AGF bad edits (format errors, unsourced changes, etc), material you don't recognize, and vandalism, admins will probably give you this permission.

I hope this helps you in combatting vandals. I'm sorry that I can't be a CVU teacher, my schedule is way to random. See you around. P.S. You may want to add

after you UB, it will make the next section start on a new line.L3X1 My Complaint Desk 22:41, 24 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for all the info! I've been really busy lately so I'm going to try to hit ~500 edits by the end of this week, then I'll be extended confirmed in mid-March and I'll try to get RB and PCR after that. Weegee (talk)  (contribs) 03:27, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
