The lead sentence

Template:Tq That bit sounds fragment, can it not be written better? Govvy (talk) 10:12, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

It was a bit dramatic

People made the whole thing sound bad to make the British look bad so I think they should add that Jett william anderson (talk) 22:50, 7 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

If you read over the section "media battle" in the article, I think it makes your point. Joyous! Noise! 22:56, 7 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Error in the introductory sentence

In the very first sentence it says that the Boston Massacre happened on the 5th of May, even though it was March. The date is correct in the rest of the article as far as I can tell, but it is very misleading to have that error in the lead sentence (especially since this blurb is the first search result on Google). Please fix this problem (since this is a semi.protected article, I can't do it myself). 2A02:3102:9714:9C0:A9FE:26BC:FCA4:419B (talk) 17:44, 19 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Fixed. checkY It was a transcription error during a copyedit by Script error: No such module "user". during a copyedit a few days ago, so it wasn't misleading for long. I've made similar errors in the past. Seasider53 (talk) 18:47, 19 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
