Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 27 July 2024
 | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
- Change from: Opening paragraph of lead with no mention, in summary fashion, of the outcome of the operation.
- Change to: An opening paragraph that, per guidance in WP:INTRO, contains a proper summary both of the lead, and of the article as a whole.
[At registered editor's discretion, the call is for an additional 1-2 sentences to be added to the opening lead paragraph, stating (something to the effect) that
- "The operation was widely considered... [summarise article]] as its result was the loss of only 3 of 105 passengers, and only 1 of 100 Isreali commandos sent on the mission, with some limited casualties, while having broader [summarise article] repercussions within Uganda, and in the history of anti-terror responses."]
Justification: In any article with a lead as long as this one, the opening paragraph of the lead, per WP:INTRO, serves both as a starting point for the overall lead summary, but also as an overarching summary of the main elements of the lead itself. In short, the reader should not have to wait until the end of a long lead to simply have a grasp of the meaning of the title given for the article. In this regard, the current Entebbe lead properly covers the precipitating historic event, and anchors it geographically, but fails to communicate anything in summary regarding the outcome—rather, forcing the reader to read the entire lead to understand what the article is about. This is not good abstract/lead writing, nor encyclopedic introduction writing more generally.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. If you wish to submit a new lead proposal below, feel free. However, editors responding to edit requests cannot write additonal content on your behalf, as most know nothing about the topic. – Isochrone (talk) 13:34, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
Adding Brigitte Kuhlmann
So if you see the page of Brigitte Kuhlmann/Brigitte Kuhlmann then it’s not classified in the “Commanders and leaders” with the KIA symbol so should I add it? yes or no Noam Elyada (talk) 08:21, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

You need to alter your language on this. The terorism comes from “israel”. 67.146.27.254 (talk) 14:46, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
