Shouldn't it be "...stabbings"? Wouldn't it just be a stabbing if one person were stabbed, verses 20 people who were wounded? --Matt723star (talk) 22:40, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fair point; but I guess that, if we did change the title like that, we would also have to change the titles of articles about shootings from "shooting" to "shootings", since more than 1 person got shot. This is what I was thinking when I created this page--we say "shooting" to talk about an act of shooting multiple people, so we should be able to do the same with "stabbing". Jinkinsontalk to me 23:20, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I get that but, isn't that a matter of grammar? I mean, when you say a shooting, you think more than one person was shot and/or more than one round was fired at multiple people, verses a stabbing, like a prison stabbing, where one person was stabbed, whereas multiple people who were stabbed would be stabbings. I don't know myself. I get your point, but still... --Matt723star (talk) 23:45, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I came to this page to say the same exact thing. Stabbing (singular) seems odd, awkward, incorrect, and misleading (it implies one "stabbing" event). Stabbings (plural) seems more appropriate. He stabbed person #1, then walked down the hall and stabbed person #2, then walked down the hall ... and so on. That seems like 22 separate stabbings (plural). Also, I think that it is an unfair comparison to equate "shooting" with "stabbing". Shooting involves a single act of holding a gun and firing; with this single act, many people can get shot. But, that is one shooting. Wielding a knife involves several / many / 22 separate acts; hence, several stabbings (plural). That's my take. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 04:31, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! So glad someone sees it like I do! That's basically what I tried to say but forgive my awkward writing skill as I think I was either tired or hadn't had all my coffee at that point. Should there be a move request? --Matt723star (talk) 13:49, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Yes, I agree with your sentiments. I support a move request. However, we should probably look at other cases of "stabbings" (are there any? there must be?). And see how the others were handled. There should be some level of consistency across similar articles. But, again, I would support a move request. Or even just a bold move. Joseph A.

In the entire article, the name of the high school is not mentioned even once? (Except in the title.) Did I miss it? Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 04:25, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
A possible explanation is that there was no article for this school, which I have rectified in a very basic form. John from Idegon (talk) 17:11, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for adding it in. Even if there is no Wikipedia article for F. R. High School, this article still needs to mention the name of the school in which the stabbings occurred. Pretty basic info. It could be written in as a red Wiki-link, or just plain text with no link at all. In any event, thanks for adding it. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 23:54, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Was this article written in real time? Whether it was nor not, Hribal is not a "suspect", he is a perpetrator. ps what is a "proper trial"?--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 18:13, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It was written in large part soon after the incident. I have re-worded the header of the "Suspect" section accordingly. I guess that in the case you're talking about "proper" simply means "actual" (as opposed to a hearing to determine whether to send the case to juvenile court).
