Britain and Donald Trump's reaction

British leaders and Trump have expressed condolences for the attack. British reaction should be added but I doubt about Trump as he does not hold any official position. Do you think Trump's reaction should be added? 59.89.40.92 (talk) 23:06, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I meant he does not hold any official position in the US government. 59.89.40.92 (talk) 23:34, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, because he is an official candidate now for the POTUS.--Stefvh96 (talk) 23:09, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No. Trump speaks for himself, not for the nation. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:11, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not unless he holds an office. 75.101.104.17 (talk) 08:38, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Death count and official

Using this article: http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/28/europe/turkey-istanbul-airport-attacks/index.html?adkey=bn I updated the death count and changed the official who came up with the number. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PromethiumElemental (talk • contribs) 00:23, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, 36. Somebody keeps changing it to 50. If it continues I will seek semiprotection. Coretheapple (talk) 00:32, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, semiprotection would be good... --M4r51n (talk) 00:34, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is it just the User:Garzen edit? One edit alone is insufficient. I have warned that account. Coretheapple (talk) 00:35, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

International Reactions

Let's head this off at the pass. Can we please please please limit the reactions to regional powers (UK, Germany, France) and relevant countries (Syria, Iraq, countries fighting ISIS directly). I'm totally against having a section dedicated to quotes from world leader, but if we are going to have it, then can we at least have it be tailored to the article at hand. What the president of Sri Lanka has to say about this attack is fairly irrelevant. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)^[1] 03:56, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Apropos, the last graf about the Philippines seems irrelevant unless it can be stated that there is a large contingent of Filipino workers in Turkey and/or a sizeable number planning to work in Turkey. Sca (talk) 13:34, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think there is a little more going on there than a simple "our thoughts and prayers are with you". It relates to the attack (cause of a potential ban) and relates to the two countries at hand (Filipinos in Turkey). Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)^[1] 13:53, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Verb tense

Generally speaking, in encyclopedic writing past-tense verbs should be used, as most articles will outlive the present-tense status of breaking news. Wiki is not a news ticker. Sca (talk) 13:48, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
