Craig Marks Lawsuit needs edit?

The section dealing with the Craig Marks lawsuit reads "On November 30, 1998, a few days after the band accumulated "[a] total [of] more than $25,000" in backstage and hotel room damages during the Poughkeepsie, New York, stop of their Mechanical Animals Tour, SPIN editor Craig Marks filed a $24-million lawsuit against Manson and his bodyguards. On February 19, 1999, Manson counter-sued Marks for libel, slander and defamation, seeking US$40 million in reparation. Marks later dropped the lawsuit. Manson apologized for the Poughkeepsie incident and offered to make financial restitution."

The lawsuit centered around allegations of assault against Manson and his bodyguards, and appears to have been completely unrelated to the alleged hotel room damages. This write-up would therefore seem misleading, at best. 27.33.109.205 (talk) 11:01, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Manson's New Social Media Posts

An update should be added to this page covering the abuse allegations, especially considering Manson's posted on his social media for the first time in two years. Ky1ewithsty1e (talk) 02:52, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Columbine High School massacre

It states that there were 21 people injured, but when going to Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold's wiki page it states that there are 24 injured. Sandman3033 (talk) 01:25, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

24 seems to be more accurate based on the explanation on Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold's page. I changed the number and added the reference from that page. 23impartial (talk) 02:35, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can provide a source for the claim 'he thus fell in love with what he "wasn't supposed to"', labeled as citation needed. P. 26 of the autobiography "The Long and Hard road out of Hell" (already referenced in the article) states:

They would bring in Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper records and play them loudly on the P.A. system. Different teachers would take turns at the record player, spinning the albums backward with an index finger and explaining the hidden messages. Of course, the most extreme music with the most satanic messages was exactly what I wanted to listen to, chiefly because it was forbidden. They would hold up photographs of the bands to frighten us, but all that ever accomplished was to make me decide that I wanted long hair and an earring just like the rockers in the pictures.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Why not provide it in this request? - FlightTime (open channel) 20:49, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
