May need a rename

W/ three seperate incidents reported, the current title may not be sufficient. But wait to see how this gets covered in sources. Might be simpler as "2014 Ottawa shooting attack" (pending on who's behind this). --MASEM (t) 16:09, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

The article has been moved by User:RGloucester to "2014 shootings at Parliament Hill, Ottawa". I have issues with this. First, it uses an indefinite article ("an"), which is against WP:NAME. Second, listing multiple shooting locations (forcing the use of a comma) is also unnecessary; we can limit it to one general location. I would suggest a new name that uses one general location (e.g. Ottawa) and places it before "shootings" (e.g. "2014 Ottawa shootings"). Please discuss potential new names here so we can come to consensus. --Natural R_X 17:28, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

I would use "2014 Ottawa shootings attacks" as there where multiple incidents. Avion365 (talk) 17:35, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Strongly oppose "2014 Ottawa shootings". There have been plenty of other shootings in Ottawa in 2014, I'm sure. "at" is not an article at all. It is a preposition, and is perfectly acceptable in the context of the guidelines. It isn't about "listing multiple locations". It is about clarifying the location. These shootings were at "Parliament Hill" in "Ottawa", as opposed to other Parliament Hills elsewhere. The format "Parliament Hill, Ottawa" is a standard convention for neighbourhoods in cities.

"Plenty of other shootings in Ottawa in 2014" - do any have Misplaced Pages articles? And how about October 2014 Ottawa shootings? Whoop whoop pull up 18:09, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

If we're going this route, I favour "22 October 2014 Ottawa shootings". They did not cover the whole of October. Let's be WP:PRECISE. RGloucester — ☎ 18:12, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Soldier's Death

There have been conflicting reports on if the soldier that was shot has died, please hold off editing the soldier's condition, other than the fact that a soldier has been shot. Misplaced Pages is not news. Avion365 (talk) 17:21, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
