Comments

The new plan for the article seems pretty thoroughly laid out but you need to add more substance and information to it. It looks like you are still on roadmap two from what I have read. You should remove all the mentions of yourself and what you plan to do to the article. All the ideas you have seem good but you no longer need the comments on what you are gonna do, you just need to do what you have already planned. The new organization you have thought out seems like a good way to make the article more accessible and understandable. The bullet points added to the attacks section would be very helpful along with more information on each individual attack. The timeline idea is a very good one too. It would be helpful to know who is still apart of the group at the same time that the attacks are taking place to show the evolution of the group. The new sections and subsections you have outlined are a really good plan and will help to streamline your article more. The article needs to be streamlined if it is mainly paragraph from and lots of bullet points. You need more references but the ones you have appear to be helpful. Once you find more references you need to cite some of the information you have put in the article. Overall once you fill in more info and add some substance to this I believe you will have a very good article based on this plan.
