Not sure if most recent edit is considered a massacre. BobTheManX26 : Talk 05:11, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
I question the reference to "Revenge attacks following death of Marion du Fresne 13 June 1772-July 1772", or that this was a massacre. The article on du Fresne indicates that there were some 250 Maori killed during attacks on the France camps, after the murder of du Fresne. This was neither a revenge attack nor a massacre. It was a battle, that the Maori lost. Royalcourtier ( talk) 03:56, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
If a death toll of two is considered a massacre (as seems to be the case from the current table), then the Waikino School Shooting should be included. Reference: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12145161
I don't judge the NZ Herald as a reliable source, but its article states that it's NZ's only school shooting, which prompted me to make this suggestion here. Maybe someone with direct knowledge of the incident can add it to the table. 122.58.17.121 ( talk) 23:08, 19 October 2018 (UTC) Martyn
In what concept of massacre is 2 considered to be a massacre? Or ever 3, or 4? This shows a distinctly poor degree of comprehension of the English language. Multiple intended, as opposed to accidental, deaths maybe; not massacres. How could anyone consider less than 5 deaths to be in the same class as the Christchurch mosque shootings? As for this edit summary, there is absolutely no compulsion to discuss such a change, WP:BOLD means "make the change, if there is disagreement, THEN have a discussion" and reach WP:CONSENSUS. So can anyone justify setting the minimum at anything lower than 5? DerbyCountyinNZ ( Talk Contribs) 08:34, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
The list should be converted from reverse chronological order to earliest-to-latest order. According to Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Chronological ordering, "Chronological lists ... should be in earliest-to-latest chronological order." Nurg ( talk) 21:58, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
The 1200 casualities lacks a adequate source, I couldn't see that number at all on the linked source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.195.3.151 ( talk) 10:21, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
