Talk:Garissa University College attack

Numbers of victims
In our introductory sentence we say 15 were dead. But in the infobox we say 70. This needs to be clarified. No explanation provided about the source behind 70 dead although 15 dead is duly sourced. werldwayd (talk) 16:49, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I was confused when I first saw the article as well. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:05, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

When this story is no longer current as "news" and has fallen greatly from favor of popular media, will it be moved into the main article "Garissa University College" ? I have seen in some Wikipedia main entries that such sensational stories appear to be separately written or rewritten before they appear stories in the main entry.

The article now lists 147 dead in one place, and 148 elsewhere. I can find recent news articles with both numbers online. Can anyone find a source that addresses this? Perhaps something describing an additional victim dying in hospital after the attack? That might explain the discrepancy. - Themightyquill (talk) 22:49, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Islamic terrorism
As I have explained, that article is not updated. I have explained and added specific related instances instead. Further, if we were to have blanket lists here then we can add the whole harem of "List of terrorist incidents, XXXX" and massively inflate the "See also."

Also judging by his edits, he seems hell bent on criticizing Islamic politics (as he did in the Iran-"led" Southern Syrian Offensive page.120.62.24.165 (talk) 05:40, 3 April 2015 (UTC)


 * this attack was islamic terrorism. the list i added is a list of islamic terror incidents. it's relevant to the article.SyriaWarLato (talk) 05:53, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * "As I have explained, that article is not updated." + "then we can add the whole harem of "List of terrorist incidents, XXXX" and massively inflate the "See also.""
 * Please don't just listen to yourself and presume you've gained consensus. That is not how Wikipedia works.120.62.24.165 (talk) 05:58, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * as i said. japanese hostage crisis has no relevance to this article. also the list I added is exactly for deflating the "see also" section, since it contains most recent terrorists incidentsSyriaWarLato (talk) 06:02, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * As explained MORE than once for the context of POLITICAL hostage sieges the said user insists on only seeing what he wants to.
 * It does not deflate as it is not updated AND "then we can add the whole harem of "List of terrorist incidents, XXXX" and massively inflate the "See also.""
 * Get consensus BEFORE readdition120.62.24.165 (talk) 06:05, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * His only addition to this page (and the other) is his blind insistence on having his way of adding "Islamic" terrorism. One can note this from the edit history.120.62.24.165 (talk) 06:07, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * no. in accordance with your views. i added this list because i thought it would help any reader who comes across this page. you on the other hand remove it every time, because it has islamic in it? dude, that's the name of the list SyriaWarLato (talk) 06:12, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * In the meantime you add the japanese hostage crisis to the section, which has no relevance to this page at all. SyriaWarLato (talk) 06:13, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Guys what is going on. As far as I can see, this is indeed an Islamic terrorist attack because Al-Shabaab is Islamic in nature, so List of Islamic terrorist attacks is valid. What's not valid is the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which wasn't carried out by Al-Shabaab. starship.paint  ~ ¡ Olé !  06:58, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * This could not be more of an "Islamic terrorist attack" and attempting to remove that cat was clear POV --Flexdream (talk) 18:56, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Better map
Can somebody change out the map with one that shows the location with a pin, and that shows the neighboring countries? Abductive (reasoning) 23:20, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know if they exist on the wiki or not, may make one. Antiv31 discuss 05:55, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The map exists; 2002 Mombasa attacks has it. I just don't know how to get the red dot in the correct spot. Abductive  (reasoning) 06:01, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll try to make it. Antiv31 discuss 10:51, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks good, thanks. Abductive  (reasoning) 17:44, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
