A news item involving August 2016 Gaziantep bombing was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the In the news section on 22 August 2016. |
Should Terrorism in Turkey be added in "part of"? Although perpetrators haven't been confirmed, all suspected perpetrators are sanctioned as terrorist groups and the attack bears hallmarks of a terrorist attack. DinoBambinoNFS ( talk) 14:50, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
As far as I know, nobody suspects from Kurdistan Workers' Party. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerhidt ( talk • contribs) 21:04, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
If the bomb was activated by remote control, then it's not accurate to call it a suicide bomb, even though that's what sources are calling it. 71.182.247.106 ( talk) 01:22, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
Turkish deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek stated that the explosion seems to have been triggered by a suicide bomber.
Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, “A suicide bombing which killed 51 people in the Turkish city of Gaziantep was carried out by a 12 to 14-year-old child.
In the main body of the article, no remote controlled bomb is mentioned. It is clear the source you have cited has committed a mistake in its headline. Regardless, all of other sources say it was a suicide bomb. DinoBambinoNFS ( talk) 20:20, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
I see a lot of users keep changing the content including perpetrators, death toll and number of injuries as they see fit. Details are usually not clear after such attacks. A number of sources differ on the details. Therefore we should wait for some time until the situation becomes clear. DinoBambinoNFS ( talk) 11:05, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
WP:BLP does apply here, as PKK consists of living persons. Just because a specific person is not named, it does not mean BLP does not apply. Also it's WP:RECENTISM to include it. In a year or 10, the very early accusations by Turkish parliamentarians will not be relevant at all. The story is unfolding that it was Islamic State, and we should focus on that. -- Harizotoh9 ( talk) 16:31, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
Turkey's response need to mentioned. They have bombed both IS and PKK position in Syria. Turkey shells both IS and Kurdish positions in Syria-- yousaf465' 19:02, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
