Talk:MIPT Terrorism Knowledge Base

Comment
I'd like to have a "TKB" revert to this page because it is much more commonly known as an abbreviation for this portal (as seen on google hits and news media citations) but i'm having trouble figuring out how to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Davidw111 15:55, 8 August 2006 (UTC)Davidw111

The TKB ceased operation on March 31st, 2008 with no clear replacement. There are few details on their website, but it does state that some of the activities will be taken over by the Global Terrorism Database (GTD). I have created a Wikipedia page for the GTD as I could find no entries on the topic. Dean Armond 05:22, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Doesn't seem like GTD really rates a separate article.Prezbo (talk) 03:56, 28 March 2010 (UTC)


 * GTD does merit a separate article. It is the successor to the TKB in that it used its data as a starting point and has continued on, with expanding information. It is also the largest, most comprehensive database on terrorism available. The problem is not that this article exists, but that it's a stub. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.108.215.71 (talk) 23:49, 9 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I concur that GTD merits a separate page. While the two have something in common, they don't even seem to have 100% of their data in common. There's just too much different for them to get only a single article for both. 68.227.208.105 (talk) 04:07, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

This page should not be combined with or reverted to the TKB page. The GTD is not an expansion or continuation of the TKB, which used RAND-MIPT event data. The two sources of data are independent. The only connection between them is that START, which maintains the GTD, also hosts an archive of the TKB's organizational profiles (which are unrelated to the GTD). --Eemiller1101 (talk) 22:14, 2 July 2010 (UTC).
