Militant versus terrorist edit
The "source" requested by Happy in the edit history would be the current legal and common definitions of the word terrorist - people who deliberately target civilian infrastructure and personnel; as opposed to, say, causing incidental effect against same in the course of lawfully attacking a military target; in the name of political change are, by definition, terrorists. I'm not an editor, but I just wanted to put that out there. 199.212.122.26 (talk) 12:22, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for you input. I probably shouldn't say this, but personally I agree on the label, though it can't and should not be said in Wikipedia's voice. The reason is because of the site's greatest strength and greatest weakness, in my opinion, in that we rely on "verifiability, not truth." With a few exceptions (that actually lean toward being more cautious rather than less), Wikipedia goes by what reliable sources say. Further, in an instance of "Group A does a thing" and "the dictionary says doing a thing means this label" we can't synthesize those together and instead rely on reliable sources to be the ones to make the connection and then we cite them. I hope this helps and you continue using talk pages and eventually making small edits and possibly some day bigger things. Kensai97 (talk) 21:33, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah, this was basically my reason for removing the label. I think as the group gains prominence, it will become more clear if reliable sources consider them terrorists or not. HappyWithWhatYouHaveToBeHappyWith (talk) 00:08, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
