Semi-protected edit request on 9 January 2015

When recounting the 2015 attack, the spelling of the Prophet Muhammad is wrong, and instead of calling the terrorists "Islamists" which is just the belief that Islam should guide people's way of life, it would be preferential to call the terrorists "Islam extremists" or "Muslim extremists".

No, where it's a reference to the Islamic prophet in Wikipedia's own voice the spelling should be consistent i.e. Muhammad, per the Wikipedia article and most current rdferences to the name in this article; this is just editorial consistency. There were 2 instances of this where it was spelt Mo. and I've changed those. There was one instance of a name of another person being written as Mohammad and I've left that per the linked to Wikipedia article on that person. DeCausa (talk) 09:31, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Allahu Akbar

The article says "During the attack, the gunmen were heard to shout Allahu akbar, "the Prophet is avenged"". "Allahu akbar" does not mean "The prophet is avenged" but is usually translated as "God is great". [1]

Correct. Addressed. Tx. --Epeefleche (talk) 20:05, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Incorrect and reverted. "The prophet is avenged" was a separate second statement shouted by the attackers (see the sources) and is not a translation of allahu akbar at all. Change reverted. DeCausa (talk) 23:21, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
