Way too long
editI know this has come up before but this article contains far too much detail, much of it with only a tenuous link to the subject. That map of the shooter's travels must have given the creater a lot of pleasure, but what is the point, what does it add to the article? I think we should be bold and really cut down the size to a quarter of what it is now - yes, remove 75%. The removed stuff can be used for another articles if deemed notable enough. Please compare this article's size with other notable murders - it is hugely disproportional. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 10:00, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. The article needs to be trimmed. Mentioning Tarrant's workplace in 2009 is excesive and should be removed. Alexeyevitch(talk) 10:14, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
I have in mind a scalping not a trim: if this is to be done it cannot happen piecemeal, a machete is required but even then it will take some time to make sure what remains is balanced and well structured. Many people won't be happy to see their contributions tossed out the Wikipedian window but they'll just have to live with it. If anyone wants to use the removed detail for another article they can simply bring up an earlier version. I would be happy to start the hacking prosess with a few sections that really are not relevant but significant removal of sections will need a broad consensus first.

rewrite here please
edit"...white supremacist slogans such as the anti-Muslim phrase "Remove Kebab" that originated from Serbia and the Fourteen Words."
This grammar implies It came from both "Serbia" and "the Fourteen words."

Here is the remove kebab origin as well.

Of course I'm a Wikipedia user! Not even a protected page will stop me from being pedantic about grammar! 73.184.190.21 (talk) 17:00, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Done. This really should not have taken so long to be fulfilled. Tavantius (talk) 12:16, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
Azov reference
editBlack Sun is commonly used by many organisations, referencing only Azov in an article about a mass killer plays into Russian propaganda painting all Ukrainian volunteers and entirety of Azov as neo-nazis 2A00:23C7:15:A501:8DDD:2D5E:6651:F3C6 (talk) 19:33, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
