The result of the move request was: Moved. Consensus obviously shows that the word "massacre" is used more than "killings" in this case. WP:COMMONNAME (non-admin closure) Anarchyte (work | talk) 12:02, 21 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
Haditha killings → Haditha Massacre Haditha massacre – We need to leave personal biases on the side and consider the title of the article based on the common name policy of Wikipedia. A Google Books results indicates that the current title "Haditha killings" has only 413 results in published works ([1]), while the name "Haditha Massacre" is far more common with 726 results in published works ([2]). Albeit slightly, we can also find support for the proposed title in news sources with 352 results ([3]) versus the current title's 289 results ([4]). Google Scholar also indicates a majority of sources favor "Haditha Massacre" with 138 results ([5]) versus the current title with 101 results ([6]). In total, this demonstrates an overwhelming support for the proposed new title of Haditha Massacre. Thanks.-- MarshalN20 Talk 21:45, 27 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Should the word "anonymous" in "The investigation found evidence that "supports accusations that U.S. Marines deliberately shot civilians", according to an anonymous Pentagon official," be linked? I think the readers know what anonymous means, we don't wanttoclutter the page with links.
