Template talk:WikiProject Terrorism

message: I deleted the logo of the Red Army Faction because the symbol of one specific group should not be used to represent a huge topic like terrorism. It is misleading and does not add to a better understanding of the very extensive topic.Spylab (talk) 14:32, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ultimately, whether you use an image of Basque separatists in ski masks, planes flying into the WTC or Osama bin Laden - you're unfortunately going to have to use a logo that shows only a single event or person. I don't mind if you replace the logo with a better one, but don't simply delete it. Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead)  16:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Please stop deleting this, unless you are able to offer a more suitable image. Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead)  23:39, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless you have specific reasons you feel the image is not suitable, and are able to add a better image, please refrain from removing it. Images on Wikiproject templates draw the reader's eye and interest to the group - so there's no reason to have a bare template when we have a suitable image.

replies: text: It represents the most clearly-defined, non-controversial terrorist group in modern history. We don't refuse to post pictures of General Electric appliances in the Stove or Washing machine article because "they only represent one manufacturer", we find the image that best covers the topic in general. In this case, I believe the RAF logo suffices, but leave it as-is for now and I'll try to get some discussion started. 02:49, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Some part of "not 9/11" seems to have confused you, please seek community consensus before replacing images. Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead)  16:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Oh, for your delight, I have just changed it to something as blatantly partial as your logo. It is from Operation Gladio ;) ... in fact, it is less biased than yours because he Red Star from your logo is also an universal socialism symbol, used by hundreds af socilalist organizations, most of which condemn violence. It is thus confusive as people might believe a red star is a symbol for "terrorism" - which by all means is not.--190.174.100.229 (talk) 04:49, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Do you have such a picture? Again, we'd like to avoid using an image of the current war on terror - so something from the 50s-80s would be ideal. Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead)  00:58, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

text: I hope you're kidding, :File:Terrorist Incidents 2008.svg is a random image made by some kid with whacked-up news reports. For instance, I'd love to know which "terrorist attack" was carried out in Canada in 2008 (It's been 24 years since our last terrorist attack...). I've replaced the image since the licensing is irrelevant as it's free use, and  helped answer a lot of questions people had about "What is that logo?".

replies: text: I'm removing the logo of :File:RAF-Logo.svg once again.  It is totally inappropriate for a WikiProject to represent itself using the logo of a specific terrorist group and I'm unable to comprehend the reasoning behind adding it. Viriditas (talk) 02:57, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
