Talk:August 2007 Hyderabad bombings

message: Hey man just wait. I started the article just now. It will take some time to grow. It IS an important event and deserves an article, just like any other major terrorist events. Please have a look at :Template:Campaignbox India terrorism for a series of similar articles. Hang on, please. regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 00:53, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Would it be a good idea to move this article to August 2007 Hyderabad bombings?  Having the date seems like unnecessary disambiguation.  17Drew 03:08, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't see the purpose of violating the privacy of victims and their families.  The names should be deleted.

replies: text: Concur.  To a non-involved reader, names have no news value and IMHO only act as sensationalism, as a means to provide a greater emotional impact by de-anonymizing those who have died.  This is however utterly inappropriate for a *news* article.  It is only appropriate for an *entertainment* article. Toby Douglass 09:59, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

message: There are a number of questions here; were these devices intended to detonate in time with the others and failed?  how were they found by the police?  did the police find all the devices present in the city?  Toby Douglass 09:30, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: 19 unexploded devices

message: Interesting little quote in the article linked to from the page;
Yesterday's blasts were designed to kill as many people as possible.
"The metal pellets in the bombs had worked as deadly missiles, killing more people," said Dr K Shastry, a senior doctor at a large hospital that received many dead and wounded.
In WW1, the Germans used ball-bearing filled artillery shells, because they believed them more lethal.  There was eventually an accident in a munitions factory and a shell exploded amongst a group of workers, all of whom survived.  The Germans discovered from that incident that their ball-bearing payload was actually rather humane in its effect - it tended to wound rather than kill.  Of course, they immediately replaced the contents with something else.
But what's interesting here is that it may be that a single doctor (senior, but what's his speciality?  perhaps he works in radiology and just happened to give a quote a journalist?  and how many doctors in a large *city* hospital anyway are going to be particularly knowledgeable about bomb making and the different types of wound from different types of bomb?) has given a quote and its been taken at face value and even expanded upon by the article author with his own prior comment, which of course seems to enhance the reliability of what is being said.

message: I couldn't help notice that the reactions sections is gradually becoming an unencyclopedic hotch-potch of quotations from editorial comments of different newspapers. I think all quotations should be removed and replaced with a few sentence(s) like.. "Major Indian dailies including such and such strongly condemned the act and criticized Govt. failure to properly respond to such crisis"..etc. etc. Arman Aziz 09:53, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Will we see any end to this countless number of terrorism activities in India ?? When ?? I think the suggestion of setting up a National Explosive Control Bureau (NECB) is a pretty good idea. Only thing required is it should work well. --Jayanta 11:20, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
