Chain murders of Iran

It probably isn't directly related, but here is an example of a series of seemingly unconnected murders that was blamed on an intelligence agency: Chain murders of Iran Redhanker (talk) 19:03, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are some cases of school attacks in China that are missing from this article. Can you add them?

There are some cases that are missing from the article, such as: The kindergarten attack in Meihekou, where a man killed a six-year-old girl and injured 16 people before being killed by police, on July 10, 1995. The attack on the high school in Jiudian, where a teacher killed two children and injured 15 others, occurred in August 1998. The attack on the primary school in Heijang, where a former soldier injured 23 children, on September 14, 1998. The school attack in Longzhou, where a guard injured 7 people and committed suicide, on October 19, 1999. The attack on the kindergarten in Beihai, where a 24-year-old man injured four staff and four children, on March 7, 2003. The attack on the high school in Guangxi, where a student injured eight students, on September 13, 2003. The university attack in Yunnan, where a student killed four people, from February 13 to 15, 2004. The attack on the primary school in Guangde, where a man injured 18 people, occurred on October 12, 2005. The attack on the secondary school in Dianbai, where a 17-year-old killed two and injured four, took place on May 15, 2007. The primary school attack in Chile, where a 42-year-old man killed one and injured three, occurred on June 13, 2007. The attack on the primary school in Heng Yang, where a man threw six children out of the window, killing one and injuring five, happened on September 13, 2007.

Added the remaining ones and some more. Thank you for pointing them out. Swinub★ 14:59, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

September 2019

Section is almost directly copypasted from the article it cites, and seems to be self-contradictory. Trying to figure out what it actually means, I realised that what it is trying to say is that the offender was previously arrested and served prison for attempted murder, being released in June 2018, before committing the attack in September 2019. However, this could be worded so much better and without copypasting from a news article. Weirdguyz (talk) 11:09, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Possible name change?

Shouldn't this article be titled 'List of school attacks in China', similarly to the Lists of school shootings in the United States articles, along with their Brazilian and Russian counterparts? While the article does have some non-listed information in the introduction, the vast majority of the article is essentially a simple chronological bullet-point list. I want to hear other editors' thoughts on this, though. CornyDude22 (talk) 20:39, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Swinub★ 22:05, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed it, maybe hastily as there was no input from anyone else yet, but I can't imagine an argument against it. I also think the page should be restructured and not separate pre-2010 and post-2010 stabbings, as it was more of a brief uptick in 2010... not a breaking issue as Western media made it seem at the time. I'll get around to that at some point if no one else does it. Swinub★ 08:49, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Should it also be restructured into a table, like the other articles are, or should we keep the bullet points? CornyDude22 (talk) 11:59, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We could probably have two articles, like we have a list and a main article for the US school shootings. PARAKANYAA (talk) 21:44, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About Changde vehicle-ramming

No reports have stated clearly that the vehicle-ramming in Changde is an 'attack', and it's still under investigation. We shouldn't jump to conclusion. It's improper to include controversial content in the article. Greencarp (talk) 18:05, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
