[edit]

I am editing this page as part of a class project https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/University_of_Mississippi/Writing_with_Wikipedia_(Fall_2016) I created this page because I saw the need for it when looking through the school shootings within the last ten years. This page was very simple and just touched the basis of the shooting when I first looked at it. I believe that my edits are within the guidelines of the editing community, but welcome feedback either here on this discussion page or on my talk page Mackbishop (talk) 21:05, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I again have reverted additions from the above editor.

  1. A search result cannot be used as a source (abcnews.com). You must cite the specific story that verifies the specific fact.
  2. It appears you are drawing conclusions from your sources rather than paraphrasing them. This is an encyclopedia, not a term paper. We draw no conclusions, we simply report on what facts others have published and possibly on the conclusions they have drawn, although you certainly should have a concensus to add any conclusions in this instance. It doesn't appear there are any firm conclusions so speculation on what they might be is not appropriate.
  3. The style you are using is not encyclopedic. I'm referring to the word followed by a colon, then a line space followed by your text. Look at some other articles.
  4. The secret service report has no place in this article. It isn't about this event, and any use of it would be WP:OR.

Finally, this is a collaborative project. Multiple editors have contacted you and you have yet to respond. Pretty hard to collaborate if you don't communicate, eh? John from Idegon (talk) 17:34, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
