Watch for NPOV. An investigation does not take a few hours.Lihaas (talk) 02:43, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Again be wary of POV. If you want to talk about "weak central governments" vacuum then you can also mention the rise in attacks since AFRICOM came to be. (We know what happened in nearby Niger 5-6 months ago).Lihaas (talk) 06:38, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Number of deaths?
The lead states 16, the infobox states 30, and In The News states 28. None of these numbers appears in the BBC source given. What's going on? Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 09:50, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I am wondering the same. Pretty big disparity when one source is replaced by a [cherry-picked] one. Please account for the disparity OR at the very least mention the disparities and cite a range.Lihaas (talk) 15:35, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * If you look at the most recent sources about the incident, most of them say that 8 security guards were killed and eight attackers were killed. The death toll of 30 is only mentioned in several articles. To establish the exact death toll the most recent articles on the incident should be used. And those mention a death toll of 8 victims and 8 attackers. JBergsma1 (talk) 18:57, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Pretty much every single source, including the most reliable ones, are stating that 16 people died in this attack. Not 30. Not 28. The number 30 is just plain wrong at this point. I'm changing the toll back to 16 because that's what virtually every news agency has agreed on. Why do people insist on maintaining an incorrect toll that is just misleading people? 18Things (talk) 15:28, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

plural
Should the name not be "attacks" (plural), with multiple locations and in line with the 2016 article?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 15:23, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Good point. Moving it now.Lihaas (talk) 15:35, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
