This article and talk page has been mentioned by a media organization:

Andrew Mark Miller (November 24, 2021). "Wikipedia users try to change Waukesha 'parade car rampage' entry to 'parade incident'". Fox News. Wikipedia and several news outlets are being criticized for seemingly downplaying the severity of an alleged massacre on a Waukesha, Wisconsin Christmas parade where a man plowed through a crowd of people killing six.

Can i add in parentheses that the crime being racially motivated is debatable and disputed?

that wouldn't mean he did it with the intention of racism, just that it's possible/some people think it was racially motivated and it's also a possibility. 2804:6A00:F014:8700:E9CD:1795:346B:1EC3 (talk) 13:22, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NO, we that is what we already say, that the claim has been made but it is disputed. I am unsure what your idiot would change. Slatersteven (talk) 13:36, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lmao, what a terrible writting, also "idiot"? Lmao, nice ad hominem, wikipedia editors are really proto-redditors 2804:6A00:F014:8700:E9CD:1795:346B:1EC3 (talk) 16:36, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typo I meant to write edit. However the point stands, what will this suggested edit say we do not already say? Slatersteven (talk) 16:42, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Typo I meant to write edit." Yeah, you sure do buddy, you sure do, lol.

"what will this suggested edit say we do not already say?"

and why would that be a bad thing exactly? what's so bad about putting that the motivation bahind it being racism is disputed be such a bad thing? 2804:6A00:F014:8700:E9CD:1795:346B:1EC3 (talk) 16:45, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We do not need to add words just for the sake of adding them. Slatersteven (talk) 16:47, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"what will this suggested edit say we do not already say?"

why not? isn't the point of the article to have as many info as possible as long as it is good and reliable? how does putting that the attack is disputed as being racially motivated be against Wikipedia's policy? at this point you are just grasping at straws, honestly i would not be suprised since the old version of this article called this tragey a "car crash" instead of an "attack", yeah totally not ideologically biased. 2804:6A00:F014:8700:E9CD:1795:346B:1EC3 (talk) 16:50, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Time for others to chip in, I have no wish to badger the process. Slatersteven (talk) 16:55, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current text makes clear that a racial motive is uncertain. WWGB (talk) 02:40, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As of ...

I think the correct wording is probably he currently remains at that facility as of March 2024. If the incarceration at the location began in March, then he is currently as, as of the date that incarceration began. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:43, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
