Redirect[edit]

If the main article remains a stub for the next couple days, I think it would be better to redirect this page to Crandon, Wisconsin. Chris! _ct 01:53, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In all good faith of WP Policy, I advise not to move the specific details of this incident into the Crandon, Wisconsin page. While a summary of the events is allowed, dedicating an entire section of a page of a U.S. city to one particular incident is not. Nowhere is this a precedent since history continues to unfold and that because CNN was not around from 1870-1950, we do not know what other even more relevant and devastating events have occurred. I would assume Crandon has probably suffered many casualties in its logging history as any other timber industry region in the United States. One freak accident in the 21st century does not outweigh the preceding facts and an Encyclopedia should not slant any one topic because modern media has fed it to us. Millions die from diseases around the world daily, they not CNN news everyday, do not miscontrue the perspective of this incident. .:DavuMaya:. 16:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Expanded Article Slightly[edit]

I've made a quick pass through the article in an attempt to get it a little more fleshed out (added infobox, wikified various items, copy-edits, etc.) It's still in very rough form so have at it. - Ageekgal 05:04, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spree shooting[edit]

Sorry I had previous taken out the spree shooting w/o logging in. Can someone explain to me how this is classified as a spree shooting if it occurs in one localized spot? 64.122.208.184 16:35, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He shot at officers after leaving the party, no? That said, he didn't kill or injure any so per shooting spree you are probably correct that it doesn't classify as a spree shooting. - Ageekgal 17:25, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am on the fence here now-- per mass murder this is the work of a spree killer, is thus a spree killing, and as a gun was used, is a shooting spree: (From mass murder: )"The term may refer to spree killers, who stage a single, horrific assault on their victims, or to serial killers, who may kill many people, but not necessarily all at the same time." - Ageekgal 17:33, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dead people don't get mentioned.[edit]

There is a rule on Wikipedia that dead people should not become Wikipedia stars simply because they got dead. Consider the discussion on I-35W Mississippi River bridge, where the names of the 13 dead are left ummentioned. Aside from this underage cop, none of the victims should be named, out of respect for their families.--Ace Telephone 02:11, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Wikipedia stars"? That's a new one. I'm not sure I agree with you or that there is full consensus for this. There's a list of the victims of the Virginia Tech massacre, for example.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 20:19, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
