Created by Khaltinner (talk). Self-nominated at 20:12, 29 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Gun violence in U.S. schools; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Hi Khaltinner! Welcome to DYK. This page is new enough as a move-in from userspace and long enough. The nominator is quid pro quo (QPQ)-exempt. The hook facts are all in the story from The Washington Post and the article, but ALT1 is not worded well because it's 203 children alone plus other people. ALT0 (the first hook listed) and ALT2 check out and are approved. This is a very promising start, but there are some issues with the formatting and style that need fixing to bring this closer to other encyclopedia articles, including:
- The Individual-level factors subsection's reliance on bold text as bullet points is not typical and should be restructured to not need that. Consider an intro paragraph listing the four factors and then the content from each of those four.
- I am also a bit concerned that this independent WikiEdu effort might be duplicative of School shooting#United States, which frankly is eligible for being split out into its own article. I know this might seem like a lot to take in at once, but I'd also like to encourage you as an editor to join WP:DISCORD—it's full of experienced editors (like me) who would be happy to help you out. You can also reach out to me at my talk page. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:10, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
