2018 Strasbourg attack[edit]

No, Chérif Chekatt was not a random "man", but a djihadist who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, this is common knowledge, established by reliable sources (such as the BBC, the NYT, the Guardian, CNN and many others). To systematically remove that vital information, as Alivebills has done, serves no other purpose than to cloud the truth, blur the facts, and conceal reality. Why? Alivebills will tell us. --Edelseider (talk) 15:18, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

EdJohnston, Alivebills has his chance to speak now or forever hold his peace. If he hasn't answered by tomorrow, the information is going back into the article. --Edelseider (talk) 17:45, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The warning for both parties which I left at WP:AN3 still stands. Fix the problem by having a discussion and persuading others to support your change. You are not allowed to edit war, regardless of whether Alivebills chooses to respond immediately. EdJohnston (talk) 19:21, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good, EdJohnston. And what if he hasn't reacted in three days? In a week? How long is he allowed to take the article hostage? Surely, there must be both a rule and a limit. --Edelseider (talk) 19:53, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request for comment[edit]

Shall the mention that the perpetrator of the 2018 Strasbourg attack, Chérif Chekatt, had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46660217) be restored? As of now, he is simply qualified as a "man". --Edelseider (talk) 21:17, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Clearly relevant, and reliably sourced (BBC). Icewhiz (talk) 10:43, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Jihadist - actually, the media nowadays routinely refer to the terrorist as a jihadi, especially now in January when investigators concluded he planned the attack for years.^[1]^[2]. The terrorist had been telling people since 2015 that he wanted to become a martyr.^[3] Cheers to all, XavierItzm (talk) 11:25, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes sourcing for this is extremely strong, and relevant.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:26, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, all.

Name of the town[edit]

Why should the name of Straßburg in Standard German and Alsatian come from a Latin word? Both parts a clearly of Germanic origin although the first part is from Latin strata. Nonetheless it shows the High German Consonant Shift and is fully Germanic. Arndt1969 (talk) 14:55, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
