This is more like a question:

I need to know about more of his life? Like what did he do and how did he get into that particument

thank you very much first time reader

Does anyone know where Mark Barton is buried? I would like to see it.

So...13 victims in all? 16? Why no total?131.96.70.164 09:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed apparent editorial comment

After the quote "I hope this doesn't ruin your trading day" someone added:

This statement is actually attributed to one of the survivors being interviewed at the scene by an Atlanta police officer.

I removed this for at least two reasons. The foremost is its ambiguity: does this comment mean the statement was actually made by a survivor, or does it mean the statement, was related by a survivor who said he heard Barton say it? Then: if the former, this contradicts all the news articles I found when I googled the phrase in question, which all attribute it to Barton. If the latter, I'm not sure that's noteworthy.

In any event, if there is doubt whether Barton said this, that should be noted more clearly (and cited), or the quote should be removed. A cite for the quote would be useful, too, admittedly, but I've really delved into this more than I'd planned to already...--NapoliRoma 00:07, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed editorial statements

I removed the two statements calling him a "pussy". I understand and agree with the statements but it is not needed in the article. --GZadmin 05:11 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Correct Date Conflict

I'm a little confused. The date of his death is listed as July 29th, but the events for the month of July, 1999, show the actual incident as occurring 2 days later, on July 31st.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999#July

What is the correct date for the incident?

I was there...it happened around 2:15 PM on the afternoon of July the 29th, 1999. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bulletproof63122 (talk • contribs) 02:07, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Changing to the title of this article.

Figured that i'd change the title of the article to represent the event itself much like other mass shootings on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Graylandertagger (talk • contribs) 00:31, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow i'm having some trouble trying to change the title. For some reason the edit option won't let me edit it. Any advice? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Graylandertagger (talk • contribs) 00:39, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
