Talk:South Armagh Republican Action Force

message: CAIN says:
Five Protestant civilians died and seven were injured as a result of an attack on an Orange Hall in Newtownhamilton, County Armagh. Responsibility for the attack was claimed by a group called the South Armagh Republican Action force (SARAF) which was considered by many commentators to be a covername for members of the Irish Republican Army (IRA).

replies: text: In fact as CAIN states the group claimed the attack, then i'm adding that into the statement. Mabuska 22:38, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I intend to remove the list of attacks from this article as it is an article on South Armagh Republican Action Force not a chronology of attacks by them. BigDunc 19:23, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What's wrong with having both in the one article? ~Asarlaí 19:32, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Because the article has 3 lines on the group and the rest is a chronology of their actions. BigDunc 20:12, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But the group is only known for these six attacks.It's not a massive list, and it's all relevant and sourced.What harm is it doing? ~Asarlaí 20:25, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ok lets leave it, unless other editors feel it should be removed. BigDunc 20:34, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I do, the extra information shouldn't be in this atticle at present. 2 lines of K303 15:19, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it should stay in, as both sections are small and it gives substance to the article. As Asarlai says its all relevant and sourced. Mabuska (talk) 12:24, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: If the attacks are attribuated or claimed by the SARAF then it has everything to do with them and so should be included for posterity. A group doesn't have to be confined to one specific area to operate in, after all, SARAF like any other paramilitary name is just a name to describe where the groups from and what they represent - it doesn't restrict them to just that area.

text: Having inspected the actual information closer i realise it states just the Republican Action Force and not the South Armagh Republican Action Force, which means that it doesn't mean its exactly and specifically attributed to the SARAF. On that basis i remove my vote on the issue. Mabuska (talk) 23:11, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
