Bringing this here to discuss my edit after it was reverted. @KalHolmann: According to MOS:BOLD: "[Bolding] is also done at the first occurrence of a term (commonly a synonym in the lead) that redirects to the article or one of its subsections, whether the term appears in the lead or not." The term "collateral murder" is widely used to refer to the event, or at least part of it, and said term also redirects to this page. It's not exactly an alternative name, and it doesn't appear in the first sentence, so I see no reason for it to not be in bold. Most readers would be more familiar with the term than the current generic mouthful. Prinsgezinde (talk) 21:21, 17 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Can someone correct the "airstrike" in the title, please? While the article describes multiple airstrikes, the article's title makes it seem that there was only one airstrike. Thank you in advance. L00fers (talk) 05:54, 28 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
For example, when looking through Google Scholar, the results for "Baghdad airstrike" and "2007" or something results in < 100 results, "collateral murder" and "2007" results in > 1000 results. PhotographyEdits (talk) 12:25, 22 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
That only indicates that there are more mentions of the the phrase “collateral murder”; it doesn’t mean that the phrase is being used to refer to the airstrike itself, rather than the leaked footage of the attack. Cambial — foliar❧10:22, 26 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Is that you for real @Cambial Yellowing because we agree about a Wikileaks edit
And it doesnt mean its the right phrase for an encyclopedia entry or lookup. July 12 2007 Bagdad airtrike is exact, collateral murder could be anything
Oppose The article appears to be about the strike itself, not the video. Calling the airstrike itself that would be applying a WP:UNDUE opinion to the incident. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:56, 21 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

I've just edited the lead [1] to remove several long and poorly written sentences. It was totally unclear what these sentences were meant to convey and they certainly don't belong in the lead. If the writing is improved and the relevance clear they can be in the article body. -Darouet (talk) 14:33, 5 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Has there been a discussion of this article name? Wondering why it is called the date when it is far more noteworth under the name Collateral Murder. Has this been subject of an RM in the past? I would think we would use WP:COMMONNAME here. Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 10:59, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
