When this article was noted as needing a map I'm not sure what is meant by it. Does it need to show Exeter's location within the United Kingdom or (more difficult) The location of Giraffe Café within Exeter. Or maybe even a map of Plymouth with all the event marked on the same map: The arrest, the road closures, the mosque, Nicky Reily's house etc. Meaty♠Weenies ( talk) 14:10, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Good luck ;) Thenthornthing ( talk) 17:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I have done the map now. If there are any errors with the roads then please let me know. I'm going to add to the article now! Meaty♠Weenies ( talk) 19:18, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Ouch! I just noticed something. This image is over 2MB! Usually pages can't be over 2MB, so I'm not sure if this affects it in anyway. Meaty♠Weenies ( talk) 00:00, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
The image from Flickr, which I put in the infobox, I had express permission to use. I will try and get the author to show these another way then. Thenthornthing ( talk) 08:57, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Done I've restored the article to its previous state. Meaty♠Weenies ( talk) 14:59, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
"subsequently the only person injured". Do we mean consequently? DJ Clayworth ( talk) 19:15, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
"The Exeter bombing was an attempted suicide attack", and "Thousands were evacuated from the city centre.". As far as I am aware, the bombs were meant to be detonated later when the cafe was busy, prehaps even days later. Please provide proof that this was a suicide attack - i.e. police statement. I have the same issue with my second quote. For a start, I doubt that there were thousands of people in the area during a weekday. How can you validate your claim? 77.99.240.39 ( talk) 17:15, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
I've edited this page to comply with UK reporting rules of people being innocent until proven guilty, or at least admitting their own guilt. In this case neither has happened., plus as I agree there seems to be no evidence that it was an attempted suicide bomb I have removed all references to this. If when this case comes to court there is anything presented to indicate that that was the aim then feel free to change back.-- C Hawke ( talk) 13:22, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
I have added the Biographies of Living Persons template to the top of this talk page as Nicky Reilly currently redirects to here. -- RedHillian | Talk 05:02, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Start - I have given this a Start class rating, because it is well illustrated with appropriate licenses; it includes an infobox and covers most of the areas pretty well. It is also very well referenced. I am sure that more information will unfold at a slightly later date for this article as it is quite recent and as a result more information will be in those areas that are "lacking" detail. Hopefuly with that information and continued detail it should soon be up to B class. Meaty♠Weenies ( talk) 17:58, 27 May 2008 (UTC) |
