User talk:The Random Element

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi. Terrorism and List of terrorist incidents are being edited and maintained by editors from around the world using more than just U.S. sources. The articles are not only from the U.S. CIA sources. The List of terrorist incidents should not be relabelled as a US list. However, if you feel it should be you can bring up that suggestion on the article's talk page. The title has been discussed at length and is unlikely to change again but discussion is worth the effort. - Tεxτurε 20:39, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If the source or sources cannot be identified, the information must be removed as per Wikipedia's No original research policy. --The Random Element 20:54, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not blank article sections. Please discuss your concerns on the talk page. - Tεxτurε 21:04, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
If you can fix the section, please feel free to add it back. As long as the content is original research and in direct conflict with Wikipedia:Words to avoid (because it labels events, and consequently, people terrorists/terrorism without citing the person making the claim), it has no place on Wikipedia. --The Random Element 21:18, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

AfD an article because you don't agree with a single sentence?[edit]

That doesn't make sense. - Tεxτurε 21:07, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

List of terrorist incidents is an article consisting entirely of original research. Attempts have been made to cite sources and have failed. Labeling certain events "acts of terrorism" and labeling people responsible for the events "terrorists" simply because an editor wants it to be so is against Wikipedia policy. --The Random Element 21:11, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Terrorism article[edit]

Thanks for correcting me on the Terrorism article. I did not mean to completely remove a link to the U.S. state department. - Tεxτurε 22:20, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
