The edits adding in details from the crash that ended her life appear to be as complete as could be. So, soon the opening tag box should be removed soon. The remaining detail is: when and how will a successor be chosen. Dogru144 ( talk) 21:56, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
@
Mhawk10: I was always taught, as a matter of accuracy and good writing, to not use the phrase "car accident" for anything that has not been formally ruled accidental. I don't see how it's ordinary and adequate
here. It's
improper synthesis to combine <car collision> and <doesn't seem intentional> and get "car accident". That's a finding of fact and law that it's not Wikipedia's place to make. That doesn't mean, like, buying into some assassination conspiracy theory. But there's
a lot of options between "accidental" and "intentional". That's why the term "car accident"
is controversial for its assumption of non-fault. And let's look at the reliable sources: On
the first page of news results on Google at this moment, I see: 2 "accident", 7 "crash", 1 "collision". Saying "car accident", absent a clear determination, is just as inappropriate as saying "intentional collision". --

Accidents are often caused by a driver’s lack of attention, a driver’s failure to observe the rules of the road, or both.So they are, for the purposes of their document, defining "accident" to include what would more formally be referred to as negligent or reckless collisions. Okay. They're allowed to do that. That doesn't mean that we should do that. If there are multiple ways to refer to something, and one is at best ambiguous and at worst outright wrong, why should we use that one? If you're going to make this an ENGVAR thing, then see MOS:COMMONALITY:
For an international encyclopedia, using vocabulary common to all varieties of English is preferable.And it's not like "car crash" is an alien phrase in Indiana. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 00:33, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
It is a collision, certainly -- traffic, automobile, road -- but we don't know that it is accidental. Artaxerxes ( talk) 10:53, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
However, the police later retracted that statement, and corrected that Walorski's car, driven by Potts, had crossed the centerline for unknown reasons."(Emphasis mine.) Given that Walorski's car was the one that veered out of their lane, it should be clear that Schmucker is a victim in this. I will concede that this doesn't guarantee it was accidental, but it should be assumed that it was given that there is no proof that anyone caused the collision intentionally. -- Super Goku V ( talk) 22:46, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
There are two ratings, one negative, one positive. Is there any reason why the negative one goes first? I would think that in general positive ones would go first. Is there a Wikipedia guideline for this? Kdammers ( talk) 00:37, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
