Talk:2008 Danish embassy bombing in Islamabad

Rename
Shouldn't this article be named 2008 Danish embassy bombing according to Wikipedia's naming policy? Snailwalker | talk 10:00, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep, done. — Nightstallion 12:00, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Details
Media reports differ; some say 3 or 4 killed, and 8 injured, rather than 8 killed. And some say the Norwegian embassy is closed, but not the Swedish. We should avoid presenting as facts what still appears to be in dispute.--Noe (talk) 10:28, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Location of the embassy
Anybody have the lat/log of the location of the embassy for Google Earth? I am guessing it isn't far from 33°43'51.32"N  73° 4'1.04"E - but that's based on a fuzzy BBC map and could be wildly inaccurate. --IceHunter (talk) 14:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I've been searching google but can't find a geo position for the embassy. --TwentiethApril1986 (talk) 15:27, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Here's the address, from the Danish foreign ministry:
 * Royal Danish Embassy
 * House #16, Street #21, F-6/2
 * P.O.Box 1118
 * Islamabad

- if that's any help.--Noe (talk) 19:00, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Judging from this map (zoom in on F-6; left corner is F-6/2) and Google Earth, the coordinates given above seem to be one street off, in a street unnamed in the map (perhaps #22, as it's between #21 and #23). The ends of Street #21 are at 33°43'52"N 73°04'05"E and 33°43'56"N 73°04'02"E. However, I don't know how accurate the coordinates in Google earth are (I know my house apparently moved a few meters some months ago!), and if the bombing took place in a parking lot, it could be behind a house from the street. - In geo coordinates, one second is about 30 meters (even less in the longitude if not on equator), and the 2nd decimal is 30 cm, so just giving coordinates to nearest second (or at most with one decimal) seems appropriate.--Noe (talk) 06:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Danish-> English
Don't forget Google Translate recently added Danish - as with most google translations its like a drunk teenager, but presumably its better than nothing ;) --IceHunter (talk) 14:27, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Deaths
Some reports say 6, 8 and 10 or different amounts of people were killed in the bombing but which number do we use in the article? --TwentiethApril1986 (talk) 14:33, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Suicide bomb status not verified
On the main page this is called a suicide attack, while the article itself stated that it is a SUSPECTED suicide car bomb. It has not yet been verified that this is a suicide bomb, at least not here in Denmark, so claiming that it is a suicide attack is pt. erroneous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.89.116.155 (talk) 16:17, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * True. Fixed. Thanks. --Kiz o r  07:20, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Are wikis reliable sources?
reason for revert. Wikis, including Wikipedia and other wikis sponsored by the Wikimedia Foundation, are not regarded as reliable sources. User talk:Yousaf465

reason for the attack
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack or given any reason, yet the lead paragraph offers speculation based on *one* individual, as cited in *one* online source. I think Wikipedia ought to stick to the facts and refrain from giving such weighty importance to this speculation. At the very least, the speculation should be moved further down into the body of the article until some concrete *facts* emerge. 76.19.101.108 (talk) 03:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Koranverset?
International reactions->International Organizations->Al Qaeda The quote has a word, "koranverset", probably a typing error? Lilaac (talk) 15:35, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
