Under the paragraph 'Classroom shootings' the timeline is reversed.

Lanza then entered a first-grade classroom where Lauren Rousseau.....

Lanza next went to another first-grade classroom nearby...Soto...."

Should be Soto first, Rosseau next. Easily verifiable Nightpaws1 (talk) 09:47, 2 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Initial media reports in December 2012 said that the shooter first entered Lauren Rousseau's classroom (Room 8), then entered Victoria Soto's classroom (Room 10).[2] During the investigation this was questioned, because "some of the 11 students who survived the shooting in Soto's class told investigators they hadn't heard gunshots before Lanza came into their room."[3] The final report said "A.L. then walked down the hall and entered two first grade classrooms, rooms 8 and 10, in an indeterminate order." The final report did not come to a firm conclusion about the timeline of events in Rooms 8 and 10.

This is mentioned in the on-site investigation section, but it is not mentioned in the infobox because it was not used in the shooting.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 03:12, 8 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia doesn't cite Reddit as a source. Ever... AndyTheGrump (talk) 01:12, 9 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
he could've or he couldn't have wore glasses. sandy hook is a heavy topic and some questions are left unanswered, there was witnesses saying different things. Sandroi505 (talk) 01:23, 9 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Quote from page 9 of the final report: "The main office staff reported hearing noises and glass breaking at approximately 9:35 a.m. and saw the shooter, a white male with a hat and sunglasses, come into the school building with a rifle type gun." I do wish that people wouldn't turn up with things they found on Reddit.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 06:45, 9 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
there is a source from r/masskillers, a way BETTER community for research into topics like this. and most of the time it isnt false info. Sandroi505 (talk) 14:16, 9 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
IF there is a source at this reddit post then provide it. Other editors shouldn't have to go around and dig up sources that others mention. Do the work. Also, "most of the time" it isn't false info" isn't good enough...that means some of the time it IS. Shearonink (talk) 14:51, 9 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
im not charging at you either, but with that mini comment at the end, it seems you have a superiority complex about reddit. its useful sometimes and not, still theres a whole dedicated community to mass shooters like adam lanza with most of the facts straight.

Regardless of your or my opinion of Reddit, Reddit itself cannot be used as a source for facts in Wikipedia since Reddit is WP:USERGENERATED and has no editorial oversight, the same way that Wikipedia articles cannot be used as sources for other Wikipedia articles...for Wikipedia's purposes user-written sources are not acceptable as a basis for verifying facts. Verifiability is one of the basic tenets of Wikipedia. Our article sources are there for readers to go to and check out, to see that editors aren't just making stuff up out of thin air, that editors are citing reliable sources to back up article text.

alright fair enough, i probably won't answer anymore, but theres many different witness statements, and theories so certain stuff cant be really confirmed, so thats all Sandroi505 (talk) 15:42, 9 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
