International reactions?
editRather than list quotes expressing the same basic sentiment, I think it'd be better to just list which Foreign Ministries sent condemnation and condolences. A simple sentence or two, rather than a repetitive block of flags and bullets. Aye? Nay? InedibleHulk (talk) 06:49, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- I've taken the silence here to mean "Aye". InedibleHulk (talk) 15:40, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
- You took the words out of my mouth. If anyone knows how to make a chart with the names of the various countries, the corresponding national flags, and the boxes with statements by their heads of state condemning the attacks, please proceed. Otherwise, I'll give it my best effort. Joltergeist (talk) 16:31, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
- I think you might be mistaken on my words. I'm for the simple, two-sentence list. No flags, no quotes, no officeholders, no columns, no rows. InedibleHulk (talk) 16:12, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

The number killers in Paris is 129 not 136 Matrix57~enwiki (talk) 09:21, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
Not done: this is the talk page for discussing improvements to the page 2015 Beirut bombings. Please make your request at the talk page for the article concerned.- Also there were 7 perpetrators that died so 129 + 7 = 136. --Stabila711 (talk) 19:21, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
Done The OP was referring to the lead of this article, which stated 136 were killed in the Paris attacks. We generally exclude terrorists/mass murderers from the death tolls associated with their acts. 129 were killed (excluding the terrorists), and this is the figure that should appear in the lead here.

- Undone. Excuse my lateness, hadn't thought to check this Talk. It may feel nice to treat dead perps differently, but if we're trying to write an objective encyclopedia, we sometimes must sacrifice what feels better for what actually (or at least verifiably) happened.
