List of rampage killers

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING WHEN EDITING OR ADDING ENTRIES TO THIS LIST: The term mass murderer is commonly used to describe anyone who intentionally caused, directly or indirectly, the death of many people. This definition can be applied to states, governments, organizations, groups or persons who order genocides, massacres, war crimes, terrorist acts or similar deeds and their perpetrators; however, these entities are not included in this list. This list focuses on individuals who do not act on behalf of higher institutions, but out of their own personal motivations, like school shooters and spree killers. This list only includes individuals who are directly responsible for each death, meaning targeting every single person separately. This excludes arsons, bombings, poisonings, and other forms of mass murder where the perpetrator has no direct control on who will fall victim to his crime. Terrorist acts by so-called "lone gunmen" which are later claimed to be perpetrated in the name of an organization are included, e.g. the Mercaz HaRav massacre. Serial killers are also left out because their modus operandi of killing, as well as their motivations, are significantly different from common mass murderers and spree killers.--Moxy (talk) 17:45, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment, you are basically spamming List of rampage killers (Americas) into a wide range of articles. This isn't necessary and I'm sorely tempted to revert en masse unless you discuss this first.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 07:17, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Rampage killer", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is potentially offensive. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Lineslarge (talk) 04:13, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Rampage_killer. Concerns have been raised that your username may be incompatible with policy. You can contribute to the discussion about it at the page for requests for comment on usernames. Alternatively, if you agree that your username may be problematic and are willing to change it, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name. Simply request a new name at Wikipedia:Changing username following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. Linguist¹ 1 ¹ 15:46, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely because given the subject matter you are editing, this is a grossly inappropriate name (see our blocking and username policies for more information).

We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames and we do not tolerate 'bad faith' editing such as trolling or other disruptive behavior. If you think there are good reasons why these don't describe your account, or why you should be unblocked, you are welcome to appeal this block – read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page.

FWIW As per this discussion at WP:RFC/NAME I was going to come here and ask for you to change your name or be blocked however it seems Orangemike has already done the latter (which I whole heartedly agree with), I would advise that if you ever return that you create a more sensible name, Thanks. –Davey2010^Talk 13:57, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
