Wikipedia:WikiProject Terrorism

This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate! Guide to WikiProjects Directory of WikiProjects

Wikipedia:Terrorism is a project that was founded in January 2006 by Sherurcij hoping to address the lack of information about individuals and events commonly associated with modern terrorism.

While we have to date limited ourselves to acts of violence against civilians by Violent non-state actors ("VNSAs") for political gain, users are encouraged to add their own new focus. It is impossible to fully separate "terrorism" from "counter-terrorism", as the methods used are often similar.

This page contains suggestions about articles which should be created or need additional work. It is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of several Wikipedians, and you are always welcome to join, or ask questions.

Articles related to this project's scope should be tagged by adding {{WikiProject Terrorism}} to their talk page. They will be assessed as per Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team standards by the assessment unit.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them on our discussion page or through our IRC channel (#wikipedia-en-terror).

IuploadedanImage:Ali Hamza Al Bahlu'sl boycott sign.jpg. The Miami Herald republished it, attributing it to "Department of Defense Records". It will probably expire from the Miami Herald's image server pretty quickly. I'd appreciate it if someone was to leave a note on the talk page confirming the Miami Herald's attribution to the DoD -- prior to its expiry. Thanks!

Ahmed Ressam is written perfectly and we need contributors to promote good article status. Trials have begun this year for Ahmed Ghailani, David Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana, each article could use a good vetting, and the articles on specific alleged terrorists are desperately in need of some clean-up in order to be a good article status. British soldiers found themselves guilty for their role on torturing Baha Mousa in Iraq on September. Arid Uka, a German-Albanian Muslim killed two US soldiers on Frankfurt Airport on March 2011 and he remains in detention. Bali bombing suspect Umar Patek is arrested in Abbottabad, Pakistan on January 2011 and was extradited to Indonesia where he is detained in Jakarta on August, you can help to expand it. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2011 failed Gothenburg terrorist attack needs votes on whether or not it should be kept on Wikipedia, the result was to delete on 19 September 2011.
