This list includes serious dangers such as the hijacked airplane that was headed toward the Capitol in 2001. Therefore, I do not support the proposed move, but might be open to a new article title. Let’s discuss. Anythingyouwant (talk) 01:37, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, it was violent. But the violence was not “at the Capitol.” The closest the violence got to the Capitol was Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Anythingyouwant (talk) 04:11, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm thinking most who read this will agree that these sorts of evacuation stampedes when there is an incoming threat will be OK to include. I'd even be ok including evacuations for things like hoax bomb threats NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 11:01, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
”Timeline of violence and related incidents at the United States Capitol” is another better option that I’m offering you. I’ve already offered “Timeline of attempted and actual violence at the United States Capitol”. Pick one and everyone’s happy. These are both broader than your proposed “Timeline of violent incidents at the United States Capitol” which is narrower than the current title, and which does not include thwarted attacks, threats, et cetera.

”Timeline of attempted and actual violence at the United States Capitol” would be okay if you prefer that to the current title. The incident in 1861 was thwarted by Winfield Scott, just like the incident in 2001 was thwarted by Todd Beamer. Anythingyouwant (talk) 01:52, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That even was political, violent, and at the capitol. Thankfully the violence was (so our article says) contained and subdued. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 02:07, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So if man "pushes" and "shoves" his wife around, that's not a violent assault? It's just "harmless"? Sheesh. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 10:44, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I take that back. The NYT report doesn’t say anything about pushing and shoving. The mob was apparently peaceful, and the only reported threat of violence was spoken by the excellent General Scott: “Scott warned that any such intruder would ‘be lashed to the muzzle of a twelve-pounder and fired out the window of the Capitol.’ He added, ‘I would manure the hills of Arlington with the fragments of his body.’” This would be well-covered by either the current title, or “Timeline of violence and related incidents at the United States Capitol” or “Timeline of attempted and actual violence at the United States Capitol”. Please pick one of these three options, or explain why your proposal is better, thanks. Anythingyouwant (talk) 19:24, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
