Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.
With respect to any reverting restrictions:
Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.
If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

It was not the bloodiest attacks in France since World War Two[edit]
the Paris Massacre of 1961 killed up to 300 people, the november 2015 terrorist attacks killed 137 people, they are the second deadliest attacks since WW2 The basque savior (talk) 16:03, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The statement "deadliest attacks since WW2" is sourced to two newspaper articles. I guess the Paris Massacre of 1961 death toll is disputed or something? I'd be inclined to leave this as-is since it is well sourced. –Novem Linguae (talk) 16:07, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The death toll of the 1961 massacre is disputed but there are scholarly sources giving a higher death toll:
Furthermore, there were other, far larger, massacres that took place during the France Algeria war which was legally an integral part of France, such as the Sétif and Guelma massacre.
I would not consider two news articles "well sourced". Usually journalists are not experts in history so they might not know about other massacre incidents and their death toll.
A wording such as "one of the largest" would ensure we are not putting a disputable claim in wikivoice and make sure to clarify it refers to "metropolitan France" only. (t · c) buidhe 17:50, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Verses (Q5:32–33) have been quoted to denounce killing, by using an abbreviated form such as, "If anyone kills a person, it would be as if he killed the whole people: and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people".
these verses denounce killing. killing is prohibited. 109.69.161.178 (talk) 14:52, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The attacks were the work of the Brussels Islamic State terror cell. There is a difference between sensible Muslims and people who misuse religion to pursue their own extremist agendas.--♦IanMacM♦(talk to me) 16:17, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
