Mass shootings
Hi, I can't reply on the now-shutdown discussion on the ITN talk page so I came here. If you look at the graphic here, it suggests that in 2021 there were >600 mass shootings in the US. Fairly regular, wouldn't you agree? Ericoides (talk) 13:53, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Ericoides: That's fewer than 2 per day, and it doesn't indicate when they were in the year, so you can't draw conclusions on regularity. If you look at this graph of daily deaths to COVID in the US you can see (aside from what appear to be weekly spikes, which I suspect are due to some reporting the whole week at once rather than tally each individual day) that the numbers can pretty consistently be described as "about what yesterday was" --Gimmethegepgun (talk) 23:30, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- Looks fairly regular to me, but maybe we have different ideas about what "regular"/"fairly" mean. Ericoides (talk) 10:10, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Ericoides: In that list you can easily see the sporadic nature, such as how there were 4 on February 6, then none until February 11. As well as the wildly varying number of casualties on any given day. --Gimmethegepgun (talk) 15:37, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Additionally, you must be logged-in, have
