Maintaining Article?

Hasn't been updated in 7 months or so. It's also become rather long and unwieldy to navigate. Any suggestions? Alt lys er svunnet hen (talk) 02:55, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I updated it a week ago with attack on the Jewish museum in Brussels. - 19 January 2015

Problems

1. I think this article really should be split back into individual articles for each country (especially if they've seen multiple terrorist attacks, like France, Italy, Spain, and Germany). Non-EU countries like Switzerland are also redirected here. There appears to have been no discussion about combining all these countries' terrorism articles into one, and one user did it unilaterally.
2. Italy's coat of arms is inaccurate: they use an emblem with a cog and olive branches.

I think it's useful to have a pan-European comparison article for comparison purposes. Especially for smaller member states there may not be a lot of context to justify a single article. We could limit the number of incidents listed here, but I do think it's useful. Not everything has to be broken down exclusively to the national level.

That's why I'm suggesting keeping the article for the smaller states and then spinning off the nations that have seen multiple terrorist attacks, like France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK. Those countries had their own articles at one time. The page would then have "See Terrorism in France", for example. However, countries that are not in the EU should not be listed/redirected here.

I don't see why we can't have parallel national + international articles. Terrorist attacks are often discussed in a European context, and security is an area of European cooperation. This article needs to be cleaned up, but I think it is certainly useful to have an article comparing major terrorist attacks in a pan-European context. I think it is debatable whether it would best to make an article only for EU countries or for all of Europe. Peregrine981 (talk) 21:57, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't be opposed to parallel articles. Paris1127 (talk) 00:52, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I think that's the best solution. In the meantime this article needs some serious maintenance. I'll try to look into it. Peregrine981 (talk) 17:56, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. Paris1127 (talk) 07:16, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
