DiscussioneditShould we add the Weatherman (and maybe similar organizations) from the 70's (hitherto) to this article? --Taboo Tongue 18:46, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Inclusion criteriaeditThis article currently lacks inclusion criteria. However, most of those articles that have been included, so far, are generally about foreign [state?] actors, militarily attacking or invading U.S. territory. Exceptions are the American Civil War, and the terrorist attacks by Al Qaeda. However, if one considered the involvement of military forces in these campaigns usually involves the declaration of war, either before, during or after the attack. This article should exclude domestic terrorists incidents or criminal activity that primarily involves a law enforcement response as the lead agency, even though there was military reinforcement or backup was provided by the military services. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 09:03, 6 February 2023 (UTC) | |

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}}template. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:47, 6 January 2022 (UTC)- Support This was definitely an attack. Pipe bombs were planted. The U.S. capitol was breached. It is called an attack by many reliable sources. Making a similar edit will be doing our job as Wikipedians, and calling it what it is.
- Oppose Without inclusion criteria, it is hard to know what to include. However, the attack on the U.S. capitol was a domestic attack on a specific building within the borders of the United States. Technically, it was a crime that was dealt with by law enforcement agencies. It was not an attack on U.S. territory by external forces, with the intent to either alienate territory, or wage war upon the country's territory, generally. It is inconsistent with most of the other article already on the list, which were primarily military actions by foreign military forces, rather than simply civil disorder or domestic terrorism. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 09:49, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
