Probably because it is not published in a reliable source. What you think you hear on a video is original research. WWGB (talk) 08:29, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Self defense

Why was the category "Self defense" added? Reardon shot Bryant while defending Bonner, not himself. WWGB (talk) 01:50, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@WWGB, would you prefer Category:Defensive gun use? WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:10, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Quality Scale

This article is more or less complete, I believe the rating should be at least increased to C. What do we all think on this? Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 13:56, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikiexplorationandhelping, the Wikipedia:ORES system estimates it to be B-class. (You can access ORES ratings through User:Evad37/rater.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:08, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@WhatamIdoing thanks, I'll upgrade it. Appreciate the advice on ORES. -- Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 10:57, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ORES isn't perfect, but it's sometimes handy to have an "objective" measurement when you aren't sure. WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:11, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The picture for the entry needs to be changed

There is no reason to show a graphic image of Ma'Khia defending herself for the photo and I can't think of many entries on Wikipedia where a violent occurrence is put front and certain like that through imagery. There are plenty of neutral photos available of her that can replace the infobox photo. Kianaco22 (talk) 01:56, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many articles have graphic images in the infobox. See, for example:

Wikipedia is not censored. WWGB (talk) 05:00, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
