Reinstated of WikiProject Crime banner

This edit recently deleted the WikiProject Crime and Criminal Biography banner without explanation by editor making this change. This may indicate a misunderstanding of the function of WikiProjects and their subsidiary task forces. WikiProjects define what articles are within their scopes and banner settings should not be changed in a way that removes an article of interest from a project or task force without discussion or reasoned explanation. I have reinstated the project banner and set the attribute serialkiller=yes. This attribute indicates that "This article is supported by the Serial Killer task force". This setting does not indicate that the article is about a serial killer. Instead it indicates the article is of interest to the Serial Killer task force, which includes articles about mass murder. If you think reinstting this banner with these attribute settings are wrong, please discuss it, rather than change it or delete it without explanation. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 09:26, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have a video of the soldier, inside the tank when they fire at the school. I wanted to add some details, and upload the video or screen print if possible. The tank screen clearly shows the school, and the tank shell being fired. Silusshahi (talk) 21:07, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Not sure what your video of a tank shooting the school adds to an article about airstrikes on the school. Do you have sources that show a tank attacked the school? Cannolis (talk) 22:21, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

it shouldn't be named and airstrike if evidence appears that suggests the school was targeted via other means, I say you should check out the evidence before going into defence mode. 105.154.163.154 (talk) 15:55, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

November 8 casualties

"The second strike killed at least 50 people." should have the qualifier of "according to the Hamas health ministry" which is what the source attributes the number to.ItsRainingCatsAndDogsAndMen (talk) 23:27, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is no factual evidence of what happened here...how can it be stated as fact that this was an Israeli airstrike?

Add the November 18 masaccar to the first part of the page.

The first part SHOULD include the second strike of Israel on the school, which caused the most deaths and injuries, and was the MOST horrific. 105.154.163.154 (talk) 15:49, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit to match the source.

"The second strike killed at least 50 people." The source linked here clearly states that more than 80 people died. 105.154.163.154 (talk) 15:59, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What I think should be changed:

In the info-box under Deaths:

Why it should be changed:

In the first attck 15+ were killed. In the second attack 50+ were killed. Both attack accumulate to 65+ killed, not 70+.

References supporting the possible change:

15+ killed in the first attack - dailysabah.
50+ killed in the second attack - barrons Guy Haddad 1 (talk) 11:13, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
