To view the response to a question, click the [show] link to the right of the question. Gender identity of perpetrator Q: Which pronouns should be used when referring to the perpetrator?
A: Multiple (1, 2, 3) talk page sections have discussed this topic — it currently appears that a majority of reliable sources (e.g. Independent, The Guardian, WaPo, NPR) now lean towards using he/him pronouns for the perpetrator. As a majority of reliable sources use these pronouns, and these pronouns seem to reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification(WP:GENDERID), we too should use he/him pronouns when referring to the perpetrator. Q: Which name should be used when referring to the perpetrator?
A: Multiple talk page sections have discussed this topic. Consensus is to use both names, while limiting the number of uses of the former name, following this RfC. Other questions Q: Why are the weapons used not fully named?
A: Multiple (1, 2, 3) talk page sections have discussed this. At this time, there does not appear to be a reliable source for two of the three weapons used. In order for the names of the other two weapons to be included, we would need a source that is considered to be generally reliable. Q: The New York Post has posted an article with details about the shooting. Why haven't they been included?
A: Multiple (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) talk page sections have attempted to suggest edits due to information from the New York Post. The New York Post has been deemed a generally unreliable source by the community. (See WP:NYPOST for more details.) This means that the New York Post is not considered to be a reliable source for information. |

Anti-white hate crime
[edit]Given that the leaked manifesto has been verified as accurate, why does the infobox not have "Anti-white racism" for a motive? --24.125.98.89 (talk) 23:43, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Verified as accurate by whom? News headlines making opinionated conclusions? Mousefountain (talk) 19:28, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
[1]“This police department is extremely serious about the investigation to identify the person responsible,” the police chief said in a statement about the unauthorized release of the writings. “This action showed a total disregard for Covenant families, as well as the court system, which has control of the shooter’s journals at the present time due to litigation filed earlier this year.”
- Cool, so with that out of the way lets just go ahead and put the "anti-White racism" as a motivation and move on. --24.125.98.89 (talk) 18:39, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- Why are you so determined to railroad this? 2600:8804:5409:DB00:E363:FA56:C035:934D (talk) 03:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is built on the idea of citing reliable news sources. Trying to deride such as "news headlines making opinionated conclusions" does not help to improve the article. - 2A02:810A:12BF:E2A0:E845:1444:4AC6:1AB1 (talk) 18:41, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- You would reliable sources that claim this is the motive. I cannot find any reliable sources stating any motive. O3000, Ret. (talk) 19:29, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

The ongoing investigation into the motive behind the 2023 Nashville school shooting: Despite early suggestions that the shooter, Audrey Hale, may have harbored resentment toward her former school, no clear motive has been established. Authorities, including the FBI and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, have found Hale's writings to be incoherent, indicating possible mental health issues rather than specific ideological motives. The lack of a clear motive has led to public and political speculation, but investigators urge patience as they continue their analysis. Santoshsendha (talk) 12:44, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. --Super Goku V (talk) 19:39, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
