List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, October 2017

Good day Pete! I saw that you updated List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, March 2018. Would I be able to talk you into updating List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, October 2017? --Jax 0677 (talk) 19:45, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Yes! I am working backward chronologically from present, using various sources but MAINLY the Washington Post database. I will fix format of October 2017; but for data entry, I'd like to stay consistent, bringing 2018 up to date before going further back. You can use that file to edit Wikipedia or to find info on a specific case. @Jax 0677: PeteGaughan (talk) 21:09, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

A page you started (List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, August 2018) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, August 2018, PeteGaughan!

Wikipedia editor Insertcleverphrasehere just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

It seems a bit premature for this, given that there are none to report and that August has only just begun. Can you have a look at May-June-July to see if there are any that should be added there? It seems hard to believe that there is only 1 person in those months and 70-90 in the months preceding.

To reply, leave a comment on Insertcleverphrasehere's talk page.

A tag has been placed on List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, August 2018 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.
