Making the map greater
How can we improve the map? It would be awesome if it could look like this map here.--Rævhuld (talk) 13:46, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

AP, Reuters put toll at 43. Sca (talk) 16:19, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
Recent event template
Information may change rapidly as the event progresses....
- This should be reworded. As with most bombings and other terrorist attacks, the event itself was over quickly; thus, it's not "progressing." Tag should say something like, "Information may change as details become available." Sca (talk) 14:33, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
- While you are right (!) it's just a template tag. So we would have to change the whole template, which is a lot of work for a t[[ag that is removed in the next week.--Rævhuld (talk) 14:59, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
- Rævhuld, yeah, but this tag is used on other sudden, quick events, too – in which case it is equally erroneous. Sca (talk) 16:03, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
- Sca That is true. But if you want to change the template, I think you might write on the talk page of the template?--Rævhuld (talk) 16:05, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
- I looked for this one at Wikipedia:Template messages/Maintenance and Help:Maintenance template removal but didn't find it. Sca (talk) 16:23, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

News footage in Tanta
I have viewed the news footage and added the YouTube link as a reference to the article. The assembly is not "singing hymns" but chanting the Alexandrian Rite Divine Liturgy. 72.201.104.140 (talk) 01:31, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- You're going to need more than just YouTube as a source, you know... Cyrus the Penner (talk) 01:49, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- No WP:OR is being performed, it is simply reporting what was in the video. I don't know why you think unsourced incorrect information is better than WP:PRIMARY sourced correct information. That is what you have been defending. 72.201.104.140 (talk) 01:51, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- Really doubt a video alone counts as a reliable source... Cyrus the Penner (talk) 01:52, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- Please read WP:PRIMARY 72.201.104.140 (talk) 01:56, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources." Hence my argument that YouTube isn't enough, and that you need a secondary source. Cyrus the Penner (talk) 01:58, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- I provided a source when there was none. That was an improvement. You deleted the source leaving unsourced text. That is destructive. 72.201.104.140 (talk) 01:59, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- The video is now published by Levant Media and heavy.com, so now has secondary sources. WWGB (talk) 02:00, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you. Those can be used in lieu of YouTube. Cyrus the Penner (talk) 02:01, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- The YouTube link uses Levant Media's channel ALREADY. 72.201.104.140 (talk) 02:03, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Smartquotes
@Fitzcarmalan: My edit repairing smartquotes and verb tense was undone without explanation, but I restored it. Please be careful with recent edits. 72.201.104.140 (talk) 13:10, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
Category
@WWGB: there is categry indicate that it is done in the name of islam which is :Islamist attacks on churches. So there is no need to repeat categories--مصعب (talk) 09:22, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- I don't think so.208.114.36.245 (talk) 21:41, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
ISIS or ISIL?
I Change ISIL to ISIS. Is that a good edit? I'm Trying to make it so that laymen will understand.208.114.36.245 (talk) 21:43, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
Perpetrator
The Bombing section names one perpetrator per a non-English source. The Responsibility section names a different perpetrator. I only read English so this discrepancy needs to be addressed by someone else. Prancingzebra (talk) 17:35, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
