Should "Anti-Asian sentiment" be put in the infobox as an alleged motive? Multiple sources report that Long said he was going to "kill all Asians" before the shooting. Users Ianmacm and WWGB have undone this inclusion, while other editors, including myself, have previously reverted their edits removing it.
What do other editors think about this inclusion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheXuitts (talk • contribs)
The presence of the word "alleged" clarifies why this should not be included. Wikipedia deals with facts, not rumours, suspicions or allegations. WWGB (talk) 04:30, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Now that Long has pleaded guilty to 4 of the 8 murders, should we remove the use of the term "suspect" for Long? It's made complicated by the fact that he's pleaded not guilty to the remaining 4 murders. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Isaac Grosof (talk • contribs) 08:29, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Isaac Grosof I agree, though I'm not totally familiar with legal terms so it's possible that they put "suspect" because at the time of his arrest he was a suspect, although that seems unlikely
