Question
editShouldn't it say he was allegedly killed by Mangione? The article right now is basically saying Mangione did it. ~2026-14433-11 (talk) 10:16, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
- I undid the most recent edit. Einsof (talk) 12:28, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
Lead
editI believe the lead section is far too detailed. Just putting it out there for discussion at it appears to be longstanding. I believe we need to condense it in summary style. Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 13:13, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
Shooting video: Gif vs video
editI am going to be WP:BOLD and change the gif to a video but start a thread in case it warrants discussion. Per MOS:ANIMATION, gifs should have control functions. Having the video playing nonstop is quite distracting when trying to read the article, and while I am not advocating for censoreship, there may be some people who may not want to watch such a video. Alpacaaviator (talk) 02:06, 3 May 2026 (UTC) Edit: per a comment in the source, I will wait for a consensus, but I strongly argue to replace the gif with this video.
