I'm placing this article under an "Enforced BRD" restriction the Arbcom ruling at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/India-Pakistan. In addition to the usual contentious topics restrictions, please note that, editors are prohibited re-reversion until someone has posted a note on the talk page about the revert and waited 24 hours after posting the note.RegentsPark (comment) 20:58, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
Number of terrorists
| This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived. |
Mention of the number of terrorists appears in a number of ways throughout the article. In the first paragraph "by at least three armed terrorists". In the 5th paragraph "three perpetrators were killed. The exact number of terrorists could not be ascertained". In the section #Attack "2-7 terrorists" is mentioned with a large number of citations. There is also an explanatory footnote here "The exact number of terrorists is unknown" with three more citations (This efn is practically a copy of the line in the intro). The section #Investigations and operations also mentions the number of terrorists in its own way, say through sketches released and number of terrorists killed during operation Mahadev. What would be the best way to reconcile this aspect of the article? For example, should we remove mention of the number of terrorists from the first line completely?
