Age
editOne little thing. The guy's age was 24 not 25. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.208.103.223 (talk) 00:17, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Shootings
editShooting is when there's one person who is shot, shootings when there are more. SpeakFree (talk) 02:01, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- Perhaps that's true in your native language of Dutch. In English, the prevailing convention is to refer to an assailant's uninterrupted act of shooting people as a single event termed "a shooting."
- For an example currently in the news, see Rio de Janeiro school shooting. Another recent example is the 2011 Tucson shooting. —David Levy 02:48, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- In the UK it seems to be shootings, e.g. Cumbria shootings. So maybe it's a difference between British English and American English. In The Netherlands we generally follow British English. SpeakFree (talk) 03:23, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- As described in the article, the Cumbria shootings were a series of separate attacks in multiple locations, not an uninterrupted event. —David Levy 03:41, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- As I stated above, the use of "shooting" is the prevailing (albeit not universal) convention, which is why past discussions have resulted in consensus for its use at Wikipedia (with editors noting that "shootings" implies precisely the sort of situation described by "Cumbria shootings": a series of separate attacks). —David Levy 04:51, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Response
editNot sure whether this is really relevant but Within Temptation (most of them studied there) wrote a note about the shooting. --Elitre (talk) 22:26, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Van der Vlis's age
editConcerning Van der Vlis; could we use one age, please? Either 24 or 25, but not both in the same article, as was the case. I've changed the 24 in 25, as Van der Vlis is supposed to be born on 8 April, 1986. If this is wrong, feel free to correct it, just as long as one age is used. 「Robster1983」☞ Life's short, talk fast ☜ 09:43, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
