replies: text: Oppose. He was killed whilst planting it, which correctly implies that it didn't go off as planned, and doesn't imply (incorrectly) that the IRA were using suicide bombers. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:20, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  . . . who had accidentally killed himself while planting a bomb . . . 

message: At present the lead reads "The Birmingham Six were six Irishmen who were each sentenced to life imprisonment in 1975...". The use of "Irishmen" seems somewhat improper here, as to the best of my knowledge the term has been deprecated for some time, and so I'd appreciate some thoughts on whether it should be replaced. I'd considered using "men from Northern Ireland", noting their birthplaces, but I fear this may be controversialwhile the alternative "men from Ireland" could be regarded as inaccurate.
I also think that the lead should mention that the men were tried and sentenced in the UK, or even better England specifically (being the jurisdiction), as at the moment this isn't directly specified in the article at all. Thanks. XAM2175 (T) 16:17, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
