Can someone review the changes I made and give some feedback. Does this present the information correctly and efficiently? Thank you! ―Matthew J.

In my opinion, all the footnotes are cluttered and visually ugly, giving the appearance of trying to cram too much info into what should be a simple directory of related topics, not a micro article. It also greatly overly simplifies views: Kyle Kashuv is labelled "critical of gun control", yet "favors improving school security and better background checks for gun purchases", something which many of the "pro gun-control" activists also favor. While some of the POV issues with footnotes have been addressed, it would be much more straightforward to omit them all. Less is more. Keep it simple. --Animalparty!

@Animalparty: per WP:CLT, Alphabetical ordering does not provide any additional value to a category containing the same article links.. wumbolo ^^^ 22:09, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-04-02T22:09:00.000Z","author":"2Wm","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-2Wm-2018-04-02T22:09:00.000Z-Animalparty-2018-04-02T22:03:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Meadow's Movement is currently a redirect to Andrew Pollack and Matt Deitsch is currently a redirect to Ryan Deitsch. Either both links should be included (and other relevant redirects like some of the victims) or neither. My preference is to include all links that may turn into their own articles, but I understand that is unlikely to achieve consensus here. For now, I've removed all redirects. - Paul^T+/_C 18:38, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-04-11T18:38:00.000Z","author":"Psantora","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Psantora-2018-04-11T18:38:00.000Z-Redirects_like_Meadow's_Movement_and_Matt_Deitsch","replies":[],"displayName":"Paul"}}-->
