2011 Leeds riot

[edit]

It seems a recent edit was undone (the inclusion of a couple of the riots in August), quite rightfully, since there isn't much sources. I will add that on Aljazeera news there was a report of riots happening in Leeds, but not much else. The channel is taking info from the reporters themselves. I have found little evidence on the web so far, except from here, and according to my browser this was posted 18 minuites ago (the date of the page is also Monday, Aug 08 2011). Could this be a reliable source? Wormulon (talk) 22:45, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is reported by the BBC but the implication is that there was no riot involved see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-14449656. Keith D (talk) 00:00, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah okay, it was a gathering. Wormulon (talk) 01:44, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

[edit]

I have replaced a dead link with one pointing to the Ford Maguire society list of riots. http://fordmaguire.org/res_docs_riots.shtml Many of the entries there link to texts with description and source. Technolalia (talk) 11:49, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Do the fireworks being thrown at police count as a full riot or not? Having made national news it shouldn't be ignored completely? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.11.224.11 (talk) 06:39, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
