"Injured 1,017 (239 physically injured,[1] 112 hospitalised)[2]"

wtf does this mean? 216.164.249.213 (talk) 22:41, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is in the infobox. The article text makes it clearer that hundreds of people suffered psychological trauma relating to the incident. Not all injuries are physical.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:55, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well it's extremely misleading. Is there a precedent for the use of this kind of language? 216.164.249.213 (talk) 01:54, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This was previously discussed at Talk:Manchester_Arena_bombing/Archive_6#Number_and_type_of_injuries. The infobox isn't the ideal place to go into details, but the text of the article makes clear that in addition to the physical injuries, hundreds of people suffered psychological injuries resulting from the bombing.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 08:41, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. As long as it was discussed it should stay, even though I personally disagree with the decision. 216.164.249.213 (talk) 03:43, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ancestry

It feels unnecessary to point out that the attacker’s ancestry, especially as he is defined as a “local man”. Would the same be done for a white terrorist (“a local man of French origin”)? 82.42.202.233 (talk) 20:08, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
