(First comment)

A massacre begins with scant or no warning, and is a murderous spree that requires the attacker/s to be motivated by some combination of revenge, retribution, decimation, terror, malice, or extraordinary sadism. Such as that, IDF's incident with the turkish ships cannot be included in such a list and cannot be called a massacre, therefore was removed, please do not insert pro-terrorist propaganda to wiki, or any propaganda at all. We all know by now that terrorists were on that boat, were warned multiple times, tried to lynch the soldiers sent to arrest them according to naval law, and the results are more than obvious. If anything this incident should be included in a list of attempts of massacres under "turkish terrorists tried to massacre soldiers" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.66.186.65 (talk) 17:31, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(Second comment)

Under the second entry for Massacres at Sea, also involving Sri Lanka and the LTTE, i.e., Tamil Tigers, it says "Jaffna lagoon massacre, massacre of 38 sinhala civilians by the tamil tigers in the sea off Jaffna District, Sri Lanka." But if you read the actual article, it is entirely the other way around, with the Sri Lankan Navy being responsible for at least its second known mass murder of civilians they caught in open water. Therefore I am going to try and change the notes or comment section from "Jaffna lagoon massacre, massacre of 38 sinhala civilians by the tamil tigers in the sea off Jaffna District, Sri Lanka" to reflect the truth, at least according to the article associated with this entry. (Please note: I had planned on an entirely new sentence which I had outlined here, but once I opened the edit page for the list of Massacres at Sea, I noticed I only needed to exchange/rearrange a few words to effect the obviously necessary changes. So if you look at the before/after for THIS edit talk page, you'll notice prior text which used to occupy this space which I have subsequently ammended.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.62.254.20 (talk), 12 December 2012 (UTC)

New stuff

This article seems a bit sparse (and a little short-sighted); I've added some more that I could think of. Xyl 54 (talk) 00:09, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
