From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've been working on this article ever since the day after the incident, and it's achieved good article status. I'm getting ready to submit it to WP:FAC, but I'd like some comments regarding the general aspects of the article first. Seeing if it complies with WP:WIAFA would be great. Thanks. — Webdinger BLAH | SZ 07:32, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • In the intro section you might want to mention that the SWAT team that responded to Columbine were the ones who went to Bailey because of their specialized/additional training after Columbine.
  • The section where they were lined up and sexually assaulted is choppy, you might also want to mention how he dismissed people and kept only a few select people. If I remember correctly didn't he pick a 'type' EG girls who had similar physical characteristics?
    • I never found a news story or other reference that talked about his selection of girls. It looks like the investigators are still looking into the motives behind his selections. — Webdinger BLAH | SZ 03:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • I vaguely remember something about it, but couldn't point out a source. I do know that there is coverage about how he walked behind people and tapped them on their shoulders and told them to get out. He sent all the men and a fair number of women out.Balloonman 22:49, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The timeline is a little choppy... EG the code white followed by rapidly evaucated schools doesn't flow.
    • Not quite sure what you mean about the timeline. Are you talking about the timeline consisting of events preceding Morrison's entry into the school or the first paragraph of "Negotiations and evacuations"? Whatever the case, I'll look into it. — Webdinger BLAH | SZ 03:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • You mention that the building was placed on lockdown and then suddenly without explanation they are being rapidly evacuated. It needed a transition.
  • name the local church,I'm sure that's public record
  • Add a sentence on CSAP/Test scores taht were being improved. Article should stand on it's own.Balloonman 05:59, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
