Article name

[edit]
  • Waddell, Arizona Buddhist temple shooting

I believe that should be:

  • Waddell, Arizona, Buddhist temple shooting

because the state is a parenthetical identification. Likewise, we'd write a date "October 23, 2015, and so on..." Without the extra comma it looks odd. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:95D5:9D18:77A3:D788 (talk) 22:10, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 10 November 2017

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved to Waddell Buddhist temple shooting. No consensus on the other articles listed. In hindsight they should probably have been done separately. No prejudice against a new discussion for them. Jenks24 (talk) 02:10, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]



– I'm proposing these awkwardly titled articles be renamed. WP:Copyedit#Punctuation prescribes that City, State constructs require a second (closing) comma, unless followed by other punctuation. However, using City, State as a compound modifier makes the title awkward and a little confusing to read, in running text or otherwise, whether with the comma (#3) or without it. For #4 I have added the year to add precision (there are also many Pike counties). I'm a little hesitant over #5, since Webster is the name of many things beside places. An alternative would be 2012 Webster shooting (New York), following the pattern of Harris County Sheriff's Office (Texas).
