Talk:Battle of N'Djamena (2008)

message: I am a bit curious, what is that supposed to mean in the info box?
Either they are belligerent or they are not, but 'allegedly' does not sound right, at least there should be a link/ref to explain what is meant by 'allegedly'. FFMG (talk) 14:46, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The rebels accuse the French air force of bombing them. Narayanese (talk) 16:24, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  allegedly 

message: I think that Soon after the beginning of the war, government forces repelled a rebel attack on the capital in 2006, when hundreds of people are thought to have been killed. could be rephrased as Soon after the beginning of the war in April 2006, government forces repelled a rebel attack on the capital, when hundreds of people are thought to have been killed. What do you think? Kushalt 01:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Go for it. --Rory096 02:17, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  please add more information 

message: I added a link to the Dassault Mirage 2000 since I suppose it's the fighters the French military used, but I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm this? Snailwalker | talk 19:17, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it should be included until further confirmation, because the French embassy website says that France has (or had) F-1 Mirages deployed there. Joshdboz (talk) 20:15, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay let's just wait for further information before adding specific links Snailwalker | talk 21:04, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mirage 2000? 

message: I've read news reports from Al-Jazeera and Reuters, with several local Chadians reporting that the Sudanese Army has been lending ground and air support to the rebels, I know this isn't confirmed, but is it worth mention? Hoboron (talk) 21:44, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: no, that's in the east of the country. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 21:57, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alleged Sudanese support? 

message: The article claimed that "One resident of a western embassy told Reuters: "Rebels are headed for the palace and are about two blocks from here. The rebels are winning"."Chad rebels fight inside capital", BBC News, February 2, 2008. 
However, the quote is not present in the given source, which is from the BBC, so I have removed it. Superm401 - Talk 01:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: And I can't find any mention of Soumain or his alleged death in the cited article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7224691.stm), so that's being removed too. Superm401 - Talk 01:36, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

text: An anonymous user claimed in an edit that http://www.boston.com/news/world/africa/articles/2008/02/02/rebels_enter_chads_capital_fight_around_palace_1201954910/ had the Reuters quote, but I don't see it.  However, the other article they cited (http://www.radionetherlands.nl/currentaffairs/080202-chad-deby-rebels) does indeed report the death of Soumain (though it doesn't attribute the report to Hervé Morin), which I will note in a more accurate and NPOV way. Superm401 - Talk 04:31, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Have a look at this cached page: . Reuters changed their report afterwards. The same thing potentially goes for the rest you removed. And what was wrong with the cc-attribution licence on the smoke picture? The licence is at the end of the video, the video is linked from stopgenocidenow's homepage, and BBC confirms stopgenocidenow had people at le meridien. Narayanese (talk) 08:08, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Not a fake quote, see this google search.  It was picked up by hundreds of news outlets. Joshdboz (talk) 17:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quotes 

message: I removed another apparently fake Reuters quote, which was placed by TheFEARgod, in this edit. Superm401 - Talk 04:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not a fake quote, see this google search.  It was picked up by hundreds of news outlets. Joshdboz (talk) 17:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Cut in two

message: The article said, "A witness in the city told the BBC that 30 army tanks were set on fire, the town was under the rebels' control and they were firing into the air in celebration.", but I only see the first part in the source (from the witness).  As before, I'm removing the rest. Superm401 - Talk 04:44, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: seems reuters was altering the reports. I reverted you and added refs with the original text. That shows your accusations of "making up quotes" as rubbish. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 15:07, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

text: also, your doubt in Somain's death puts into question the knowledge of the events by your side. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 15:10, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rebel victory? 

message: It's ugly (gives indentation since the other participants don't have flag) and unhelpful clutter. Besides, WP:MILMOS#FLAGS recommends against it. Narayanese (talk) 17:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Flag in infobox

message: The  was built incorrectly on the GA pass here, causing it to appear in the error category.  Since I no longer have time to step back through the diffs and correct GA errors, I removed the articlehistory.  Please contact the editor who passed the GA and ask him or her to read the instructions at Template:Articlehistory, or alternately, simply use the  template and wait for the bot to build the history correctly.
