In the film section should add "In 1993 film falling down William Foster (played by Michael Douglas) enters a greeked version of McDonald's with a bag of guns and threatens the staff and customers in order to get a breakfast sandwich after it has stopped being served" should be added Warmallis0n (talk) 04:22, 8 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. It is not clear from the request how or if this movie scene is directly related to the real-life event. If the movie scene was directly inspired, then we need reliable sources stating this. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 14:42, 8 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

I mean I found this (https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1993-02-26-1993057009-story.html) but there is no official mention of the movie relating to the event since it would be a terrible idea for the people involved in making the movie to link their work to such an event. There are many references comparing it. Would a credible summary of the scene make sense — Preceding unsigned comment added by Warmallis0n (talkcontribs) 02:29, 11 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please rename the "Redundancy" section to "Unemployment" or anything else that properly describes its contents. "Redundant" is a British and maybe other-country term that Americans never use with this meaning. 2601:5C6:8081:35C0:A8E5:6BA1:F532:FED (talk) 00:59, 16 November 2020 (UTC) 2601:5C6:8081:35C0:A8E5:6BA1:F532:FED (talk) 00:59, 16 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Relevance of Wrong Name in Lack of Callback

edit

The Prior to the Incident section mentions the mental health clinic worker getting the shooter's name wrong. They presumably had his phone number, so the name would not be a factor in the clinic calling back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:243:1C80:4160:5485:529C:391E:3CB4 (talk) 00:56, 11 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

They would have handled the "non-crisis" inquiry within 48 hours. His wife went through the yellow pages (I think after he'd stormed out of the household) contacting clinic after clinic in the hope of finding the right one. As the operative had listed the name as Shouberty, when she contacted the correct clinic, she was told nobody with her husband's surname had attempted to contact the clinic that day.--Kieronoldham (talk) 19:53, 11 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the additional color. I think that background would make the relevance clearer. On another note, it seems somewhat perplexing that she had to find that exact one rather than any one that would respond if she felt it was an emergency. Although based on the timeline (after he stormed out on his way to the McDonald's), it may have been too late. 2601:243:1C80:4160:1B8:DDD8:C86B:5E79 (talk) 21:15, 12 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Missing source?

edit

In the aftermath paragraph, CNN is cited using an article discussing the polices changes in training as a result of the massacre. ( "The police department increased training for special units and purchased more powerful firearms in order to better equip law enforcement to respond to scenarios of this magnitude." ) When opening this link ( I believe its no. 52 ) the page is blank, is there any other fitting article it could be replaced with? 212.219.255.65 (talk) 11:13, 9 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Works for me when I try and access it.--Kieronoldham (talk) 15:17, 9 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
