Section on Relationship to Columbine Massacre

I was wondering about adding a section on the relationship to the Columbine Massacre. Any suggestions? Should we or shouldn't we? Jmm6f488 05:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from them being socially isolated teenagers with a destructive bent, is there any relationship at all?--203.70.89.73 18:30, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

not that I'm aware. Vulpine Lady 71.49.108.207 (talk) 21:08, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Lords of Chaos core.JPG

Image:Lords of Chaos core.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Requested move 9 January 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Done (non-admin closure) samee ^talk 18:09, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(group) is generally avoided on en.Wikipedia since it can mean almost anything, creating problems with 3 of the 5 WP:CRITERIA i.e. 1. Recognizability, 2. Naturalness, 5. Consistency. Hence examples like Heaven's Gate (religious group), Al-Shabaab (militant group) which follow Category. In these three cases alternative disambiguators are just suggestions, there may be better options, but these are all terms used by print sources, e.g. (1) Congressional Record "gang of white teenagers .. Lords of Chaos" , (2) Lehi "paramilitary group", (3) Motown encyclopedia "pop group". in each case a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT is sufficient, no additonal redirecting or fixing is required. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:22, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support alternative name for first move - Lords of Chaos (criminal group) would make more sense, as the word "gang" is not mentioned at all in the first article. Support the other renames._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 11:16, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Lehi (Palestine) was not a paramilitary group so that name is not good. It was an underground terrorist group (and it used to call itself a terrorist group too). But since it is problematic to use "terrorist group" in titles, Lehi (militant group) would be acceptable. Zero^talk 11:32, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As nom agree with that fine-tuning Lords of Chaos (criminal group) and Lehi (militant group) would in each case also be acceptable, slightly better in fact. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:55, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
