Suggestion

Template:Did you know nominations/2018 Tallahassee shooting I nominated this article which you helped expand. Since you seem interested in these types of events, may I suggest you write 2016 Maryland shooting spree?

If you choose to write it please notify me so I can nominate it for DYK in time or you can self-nominate and have me review it. Morgan Ginsberg (talk) 17:02, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Shooting footnotes

Hi Leaky.Solar! I saw your edit summary where you mentioned not knowing how to add the footnote indicating if a shooter was included in the total count of dead/wounded. If you're using the visual editor you can just select and copy one of the footnotes from another row and paste it in. If you're using the source editor, you can just paste in <ref name=":0" group="n" /> after the number. GorillaWarfare (talk) 02:40, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Question about "Map of the United States mass shootings/2022"

Hi!

I've been adding most of the shooting locations to the map as of late, but recently I noticed that it appears that the dots are no longer appearing on the map. I don't have a very good understanding of source editing and I can't figure out what the issue is. If you wouldn't mind, could you take a look at it?

Thank you. RaskBunzzz (talk) 15:34, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

I apologize, as seems to be a common occurrence for many people including myself, after reaching out for help I have figured out what the issue was. If anything, I hope you will feel satisfied that a fellow Wikipedian reached out for help to you. RaskBunzzz (talk) 07:56, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
No need to apologize, @RaskBunzzz! I'm happy that you were able to figure out what was going on and got it fixed, I honestly tried to look at the page and see if I could find something wrong with it but couldn't. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you but this weekend was really busy and thanks again for fixing it! Leaky.Solar (talk) 16:55, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
