I have strong misgivings regarding the creation of this article. This event did not create the same reaction compared to the Moore County substation attack and there is not much information beyond that it happened at this point. I do not believe an article is justified as a result and would probably be better served if a list article was created instead that put together all electrical attacks in the United States. We should not get into a habit of creating stub articles for every electrical attack. --WashuOtaku (talk) 18:09, 8 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

I would be fine with a list type article that consolidates all of the smaller incidents of this type. If you want to take what's on that page now and start that, that would be fine. If not, I can start switching it over a little later (have a meeting at work right now). Sprhodes (talk) 18:23, 8 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Not something I am interested in doing, just believe that would be the better approach. --WashuOtaku (talk) 18:37, 8 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Cool. I'll start on that later then. Sprhodes (talk) 19:28, 8 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

I renamed that page and started structuring it as a more general discussion of the topic, with a place to list the various incidents, and cross-linking to the ones that are important enough to have their own pages. If you don't mind, how about take a look and see what you think. Sprhodes (talk) 20:57, 8 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

I think a sortable table would better organize it. Have columns like: Incident (or Event), Location, Date, and Description. --WashuOtaku (talk) 21:39, 8 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

That would be nice indeed. I don't know how to do any of that stuff, so I'll leave that for somebody else to do. :-) Sprhodes (talk) 21:48, 8 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
