Article name

Could this article be renamed October 2009 Peshawar bombing or even 2009 Peshawar bombing, or have there been other bombings that this could be confused with? 84.92.117.93 (talk) 21:18, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There have been five bombings in Peshawar in October 2009 according to the BBC article. Sadly Wikipedia only has an article on one of them. Jolly Ω Janner 21:39, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tragic that there have been so many. Stick with this article name then, I suppose. 84.92.117.93 (talk) 23:51, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On top of this we had another in the afternoon on the same day ! so it means two attacks on 28 October 2009.--yousaf465' 02:10, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Meena Bazaar

Meena Bazaar or Mina Bazaar is a shopping area mainly for the low income people. The wealthy class people of Peshawar usually do not shop here much, they shop at other places. The article should explain this so to have an idea who were really affected by the loss.--Jrkso (talk) 13:27, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Winter shopping

User:Master of Puppets removed some information that I added which mentioned women were doing winter shopping. I've provided a reliable source (Karen DeYoung and Haq Nawaz Khan of The Washington Post) which indicated that women were doing winter shopping.

“

At Lady Reading Hospital, a student named Ahmed Jan, 25, said a relative of his had been killed in the bombing. He said she was a teacher who had gone to the market to buy winter clothes for her two children.[1]

”

People do winter shopping before the cold winter weather begins, usually one month in advance, and in the case of Peshawar the cold season starts right about now.--Jrkso (talk) 15:01, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We've been over this. I don't understand why you've chosen to add it in again, but alright, that's fine; please don't add it in until you've got a source stating this fact. I know that it might be the start of the cold season there, but that doesn't mean they're all doing winter shopping. Again, try to avoid original research. Thank you, Master of Puppets 20:52, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
