Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/October 18

Does anyone actually believe they commited suicide? For being NPOV, a word like officially or allegedly should be added to the sentence about the RAF. Gerrit CUTEDH 12:38, 18 October 2005 (UTC)


 * After checking wikipedia entries on en and de, I guess you're right. There is some controversy over the official version, so mentioning it as such shouldn't be a problem. Kim Bruning 12:59, 18 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I've removed the 1977 item on the RAF. Instead, another item on German Autumn (Lufthansa Flight 181 landing in Somalia) is now on the October 17 SA template. This should be less controversial. --PFHLai 16:01, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
