Talk:Erfurt school massacre

message: Why do we need two pictures of the school from the exact same angle at different times?  Is there a time-lapse effect or some drastic changes that have ocurred between the pictures?  I'm going to remove the darker image. --ʀ6ʍɑʏ89 02:58, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The correct translation for "Gymnasium" is high school, particularly when referring to the years this article refers to (ie. year 10), as High School (in most English speaking countries) is a public secondary school including grades 9 through 12, while "Grammar school" usually encompasses the first 6 or 8 grades. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 139.163.138.14 (talk • contribs).
There is no correct translation for "Gymnasium". The German school system has four different secondary schools, each beginning (mostly) at grade 5: Gymnasium (leading to 12th/13th grade Abitur), Realschule (leading to 10th grade Realschulabschluss), Hauptschule (leading to 9th grade Hauptschulabschluss), Gesamtschule (leading to each of these exams in the respective grades). High Schools are more similar to Gesamtschule than to Gymnasium. That's why, one should use the German word "Gymnasium" whenever possible, and in case, explain it.

message: I think the Robert Steinhäuser article should be merged into this one, because it doesn't add anything that could not well be integrated here. Please speak up if you are against this, but remember that, after all, Steinhäuser is not known for anything else besides the massacre. Kncyu38 21:19, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The intro didn't count a police officer in the death toll.  I'm fixing it and making it more specific in breakdown of fatalities.  Every name is taken12345 04:34, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: All German media concur that 16 victims excluding the gunman, or 17 including the gunman were killed. Follow the link to the German Wikipedia article ('Deutsch') and note that 16 is the number of victims you will find there. Or count the 16 names on the memorial plaque at http://www.gutenberggymnasium.de/main/gedenken/gedenken.html Tacitus 21:38, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So we're just supposed to assume that it was done right on the German Wiki and ignore the English sources?  I'm sorry, I don't speak German, but I can tell you that every English source is clearly saying 18 including gunman.  How many names they put on the plaque in that picture hardly seems a trustworthy source.  -Every name is taken12345 22:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: In Thuringia Abitur is usually passed after grade 12, so please don't change this to grade 13.
I think this just changed after the Erfurt incident. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember in Bavaria, they just changed it to the so called G-8 (i.e. 8 years instead of 9 in the Gymnasium) about 3 or 4 years ago. Neutralityisimportant (talk) 09:49, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Continue blindly thinking video games are harmless. That's why these guerilla soldiers train young people with violent video games and movies. 199.117.69.60 (talk) 20:31, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's nonsense. Cite a credible source for that. You can't train handling guns with a simple video game. Video games don't kill people, guns do. --84.153.94.227 (talk) 01:34, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

message: There's a photo of the shooter but none of the victims anywhere. And people wonder why kids do this kind of crap.

message: I feel that inserting the code would be somewhat dangerous, because if it is on wikipedia, a potential shooter could come and see it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lukeyhano (talk • contribs) 10:44, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
