CS1 error on Spiritwood Incident
Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Spiritwood Incident, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:
- A bare URL error. References show this error when one of the URL-containing parameters cannot be paired with an associated title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 15:19, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
Gun details
I'm not sure that some of the details that have been added are all that important. ♦IanMacM♦ 06:45, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- why not?
- Ballistics/forensics/autopsy details are a big part of things, I think it is disappointing how such details are usually not reported on by journalists.
- If a mass shooting article on wikipedia simpily says " people were killed" in the "shooting" section of the article, and no further details are given, I find that to be a huge disappointment. (2021 San Jose and Indianapolis shooting articles are very dull because no details are given.)
- A ballistic report is how investigators learn about the order of events. BadMombo1660 (talk) 12:46, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

User page is a bit hard to view/read
Hello!
I've recently tried to view your user page, and it's kinda impossible to view the whole thing at regular zoom even with a fairly large monitor. You're of course welcome to keep it how it is, as it is your userpage, but I would kindly suggest that you organize it so that the images don't all sit on top of one another at full resolution. Maybe having them all left-aligned and on their own lines would accomplish this?
In any case, up to you.

- i am not sure how to fix it, sorry good sir. I am a moble user unfortunately, so doing complicated edits is difficult for me. BadMombo1660 (talk) 02:41, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Misplaced Pages;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
