Talk:Christopher Dorner shootings and manhunt

Change 'Gunman' header to 'Background' to be more consistent with other Wikipedia articles of similar nature

I was wondering if there was a better convention than 'Gunman' for the heading of the section on Dorner's background. For example, the Wikipedia article on the Columbine Massacre uses 'Background', alternatively Ted Kaczynski's article is more biographical and has a header, very similar in content to the one on Dorner, which has 'Early Life' as the header. The 2017 Las Vegas Shooting article also uses 'Background'. I think 'Background' would be most appropriate and also more consistent with similar articles.

I made the requested changes to have more consistency with other similar articles, as you have suggested. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 19:07, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

You are whitewashing facts. Maybe you should include details about his life and career as a police officer which led to his writing of the manifesto and war against the lapd. 207.144.144.240 (talk) 23:13, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

"Police and civilians" needs to be corrected, police are by definition civilians, as they are not members of the armed services. 2600:1700:F250:C520:4CD0:788B:3B81:C729 (talk) 23:28, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: From our page on Civilian: In general, a civilian is "a person who is not a member of the police, the armed forces, or a fire department". – Muboshgu (talk) 23:31, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

"In colloquial usage, the term is sometimes used to distinguish non-military law enforcement officers and (in the US) firefighters from support staff or the general public. Regardless, such members are civilians - not military personnel - and are bound by municipal; civil and criminal law to the same extent as other members of the public."

Police should not be referred to as "civilians" in an encyclopedia. 162.229.187.147 (talk) 02:52, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Citation # 14 needs to be either removed or mended because it does not lead to any article. The sentence leading to the citation should be removed as well. 2600:8801:9600:5F:ED15:C7FC:3992:129 (talk) 17:42, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: The citation also includes an archive link ([1]), so it is still valid. Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 17:56, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

It's also unclear what "sentence leading to the citation" you mean, since the citation is used 6 times. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:56, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Inaccuracies

Just finished watching See No Evil documentary on this story. This article and the documentary could not be more different. 2600:8800:5288:6400:939F:5815:74F8:744A (talk) 06:02, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
