 * Thanks for the links. Lots of good sources there.  The ones that I started with - particularly the contemporary sources - called the event the Clerkenwell Outrage, which is why I put the article here, but those Google results looks reasonably convincing (although some of the book and web results include some Wikipedia pages or works derived from them).  Clerkenwell bombing seems to be another possible alternative.  -- Ferma (talk) 20:28, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem. More sources using Template:Find sources, but 'Clerkenwell explosion' still appears by far the most common term. RashersTierney (talk) 21:19, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Support, clearcut case. --87.79.231.17 (talk) 09:08, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
