Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Death of Marcia Powell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Iliac artery. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

1980 Hamburg arson attack, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Martin Peyerl, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Not content removal as much as restructuring. The Martin Peyerl article (as well as Günter Hermann Ewen) miss the point in that the perpetrators are much less notable than the killings they committed. Presenting the articles as biographies and the shootings as their notable acts simply does not apply. Neither media, academic mention or even documentaries write/talk about the shooters. Its always about the shooting itself. Hence why the shootings should be the focus of the article. Rubintyrann (talk) 23:58, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Talk:Martin Peyerl. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Why did you attempt to move the talk page of the article without moving the main page? Please do not do this again. If you want a page to be moved go to WP:RM. CycloneYoris ^talk! 22:47, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops. I wanted to move the main page. I thought using the move tool on the talk page would make it a request rather than an immediate move. My mistake. As for my reasoning, I put it in the summary and will repeat it here.

The shooting is much more significant than its perpetrator (compare Mark O. Barton to 1999 Atlanta day trading firm shootings move). German and Polish articles similarly title their articles "Bad Reichenhall (rampage) shooting". Articles about Peyerl's killings focus more on the shooting than Peyerl as an individual. Nearly all of them refer to the shooting in Bad Reichenhall, not the mass murderer Martin Peyerl. Rubintyrann (talk) 23:54, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please file a move request at WP:RM, and an admin or page mover will move the page for you. If the request is controversial, however, you'll have to open a move discussion. CycloneYoris ^talk! 23:58, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
