Wayne Chiang

The main VT massacre article no longer makes any mention of Wayne Chiang, but his article still redirects there. I believe we should incorporate any useful info from the last unredirected diff and change the redirect so that it comes here. He was really just an ancillary part of the early inaccurate media reporting, but it's worth mentioning. Wl219 10:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On that topic, there's a sentence in this article that doesn't wholly make sense to me: "Following the identification of the perpetrator, several media outlets named Chiang, including Geraldo Rivera on Fox News and CNN." Does this mean that some media outlets identified the perpetrator as Chiang even *after* the real perpetrator was identified, or...? Just curious as it reads a little funny.

GA comment

GA articles are not supposed to have trivia sections and inline citations should go directly after the punctuation. Please address these things before somebody reviews the article. --Nehrams2020 07:13, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the ref format and trivia. Wrad 16:38, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA review

The opening sentence: "The following article is a summary of media coverage and reaction to the Virginia Tech massacre of April 16, 2007, the deadliest school shooting in American history." There's a massively awkward self-reference that doesn't need to be there. -- Phoenix2 ^{(talk, review)} 16:49, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed and perhaps fixed. RTucker 17:05, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did this GA review stall?

I saw this on the GAC page, and it says its under review, but the last GA related comments are back in May.... Homestarmy 16:19, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
