[edit] Injured?

What are the statistics on those injured by the war on terrorism, not only those killed? --Procrastinatrix

They just havent been found yet. ~Rangeley (talk) 19:23, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Here you can find the US injuries of the Iraq War: [1] wich is 27,186 and here is Afghanistan [2] wich is 16,36. The Honorable Kermanshahi 18:15, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I've added the number of wounded but I rounded the numbers and put ~ in front because otherwise we woudl have to update it every day. The Honorable Kermanshahi 09:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Marked for deletion

This whole article was blatantly made by a kid. Washington sniper deaths included here? C'mon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sapperhutch (talk • contribs) 22:54, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A few issues

1) Three out of four sources for the Afghanistan civil casualties section are irrelevant as they only discuss the casualties from the bombings, not the rest of the war. Therefore I removed them.
2) Same goes with Iraqbodycount. It is an estimation of how many deaths the English speaking media has recorded in the Iraq war, not an estimation of how many that has actually been killed. Therefore it is a bad source. Removed.
3) Naming. Calling one team terrorist and the other one anti-terrorist isn't quite impressive. I'll change it.
4) Removed "coalition" military casualties statistics from the civilians casualties section. --Merat 22:59, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

The naming we use on the WoT article is "participants of operations" and "targets of operations." ~Rangeley (talk) 23:19, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unreliable sources

I have tagged the article as having unreliable sources as it cites other Wikipedia as sources. I have looked at a few of those articles used as "references" and they don't have references themselves. Please use reliable sources and use them directly in this article. If you are taking statistics from another Wikipedia article you should take the source that they use on that page and replicate it here.--Sir Anon 03:22, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Niger Mali insurgency

Please see Second Tuareg Rebellion: this is an ethnic/political insurgency, which has burst into the open at least three times since 1900. This cannot be placed under the rubric of the "War on Terrorism". I'll refrain from editing the article, as it seems to be regularly maintained by a group of editiors, but these references should be removed. Note: these insurgencies are quite distinct from the abu-Syaf / "Al-Queda of the Magreb" group. T L Miles (talk) 17:17, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Issues

How the Hamas-Fatah war is included and Israel-Hamas not?? --TheFEARgod (Ч) 18:39, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
How can the UNIFIL be a participant in the WoT, its a neutral force, targeted both by Israelis and Islamists !!?? --TheFEARgod (Ч) 10:45, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Does the Lebanese Communist Party have a terror designation?--TheFEARgod (Ч) 11:01, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Beltway sniper attacks here?? --TheFEARgod (Ч) 10:57, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
The article sources are several unsourced wiki articles --TheFEARgod (Ч) 10:57, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Afghanistan and Iraq ‘Fronts’ need to be separate

Some nations are involved in one and not the other Chwyatt (talk) 12:12, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of the word ‘Front’

Listing them as ‘Afghanistan Front’, ‘Iraq Front’, ‘Thai Front’, ‘Columbian Front’ etc suggests that these are all co-ordinated, which they are not. Some nations are heavily involved in one, and not at all on others. And even within US policy, there is arguably no policy co-ordination of all these ‘fronts’. Chwyatt (talk) 12:41, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I think that since the Anthrax attacks cannot be connected to the overall global conflict, they should be removed. Most experts (both academic and Govt.) believe that the suspect was an American with no links to Al Qaeda. The same can be said of the beltway sniper. They were a pair of derranged individuals, not terrorist operatives. If they are to be included, why not Eric Rudolph, Timothy McVeigh, and the other examples of Anti-American terror carried out during the mid 90s to date?

Also, are the Colombian casualties a result of activity post 9/11, after the induction of Plan Colombia? If they predate that, then they should probably be removed and factored seperately.

Also, Regean declared a "war on terror" following the Berlin Disco bombing in 1986. As a result, Operation El Dorado Canyon was carried out against Libya. It had about as much to do with the conflict with Al Qaeda as the Beltway Sniper does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.153.133 (talk) 03:45, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No connection

There is no connection between the Beltway Snipers and any recognized terrorist movement. As such it should not be included (unless you include all other mass shooting incidents during the same periord).

There is no connection between the Anthrax attacks and any state recognized terror group. The US government presented evidence that strongly supports the argument that it was a lone actor, who was probably unstable. If you include him, you should include Eric Rudolph and any other lunatic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.153.133 (talk) 22:48, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No link between the beltway snipers and any know terrorist group

The beltway snipers were not part of a terrorist movement, and their motivations were not the same as the other groups listed here.

There is also no proof that the Anthrax attacks were anything other than a domestic terrorist attack. If you include it, than the Oklahoma city bombing and the attacks carried out by Eric Rudolph should be included as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.139.36 (talk) 17:24, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Why?

Why are the casualties for Iraq and Afghanistan amalgamated? Geo Swan (talk) 16:08, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Complete Mess

This entire article is a mess. Problems:

(1) All the information is out of date. There appears to be know updating process. (2) None of the information is sorted. An entry will simply state '[x] casualties', so it is impossible to go back and cross-check it for more information (3) A sizeale number of entries cite other Wikipedia articles, which isn't exactly Grade-A referencing material, unfortunately

I'm going to start trying to go back section-by-section (small sections first) and try to clean some of this up, as it's a complete mess. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Gaijin Ninja (talk) 04:05, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
