Massacres by US troops

I just removed Sand Creek Massacre an an act by a state actor, thus not qualifying here. The same seems to be true for at least one other entry, perhaps more. Before I do more, comments? Doug Weller talk 10:44, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It seems quite a few of the items listed don't really fit the definition of terrorism. Some because they were done through 'an act by a state actor'. Included in these would be ones with the 'Perpetrator' labeled as U.S. Troops, and possibly Volunteer Militia (which are sometimes 'state' troops). The 1838 Mormon war was a declared war by the state of Missouri, so it also employed state actors. The act of Imperial German Agents in 1915 and 1916 would be acts by state actors. I would agree with their removal. Re34646 (talk) 03:07, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BLP concerns

Should an incident be listed here if the accused is still alive and has not been convicted of terrorism in association with it? I don't think the fact that notable people have referred to incidents as being terrorism should take precedence over BLP protection for those accused of crime. 70.51.193.44 (talk) 19:51, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
