[edit] Discussion

While using the talk page of the article in question to solve a dispute is encouraged to involve a larger audience, feel free to discuss the case below if that is not possible. Other mediators are also encouraged to join in on the discussion as Wikipedia is based on consensus.

if some form of consensus can be reached on the above, could we also discuss the problem with the title. (tho this is definitely a secondary issue.) specificaly the euphemism 'incident' is arguable incorrect and insulting, regardless of what it was intended to be. there was a move war over this & a previous move request (by me) was no consensus. there were serious problems with my suggested title, apart from point blank opposition to any change. perhaps 'killings' would be at least properly descriptive. relevant guidelines are't much help as there doesn't appear to be any one commonly used description.   bsnowball  15:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
