A case of lone wolf?[edit]

After reading the article it is obvious to me that this is a case of a lone wolf terrorist act. Should we put that in the lead? Nxavar (talk) 09:24, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it because it didn't have a source. Please find a source that explicitly says this was "lone wolf terrorism" so we can add it. MX (✉ • ✎) 19:09, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MX: I made another edit that avoids using the term and is founded in what is presented in the article. Nxavar (talk) 08:02, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

'Injured'[edit]

I'm not sure what to make of this, but according to a brief update (in German) on the Spiegel site, police say the number of "injured" (verletzt) has been revised to 60. Seems awfully high, though. – Sca (talk) 15:30, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please, Volkmarsen and Hanau are two different cites! Two incidents, at two different places, on two different days.

Atomwaffen Division's Sonnenkrieg Division (SKD), UK arm of the neo-Nazi group[edit]

Nxavar, do you suggest better wording, regarding Atomwaffen Division (as was "sourced" in ES here, via Portal:Current events/2020 February 24)?

Since they are American far-right, it doesn't "contradict" per your ES. Do you see them as too tangential?

The lead reads

The perpetrator has not been linked to a terrorist organization or extremist group.

The perpetrator has been identified as a far-right extremist but there is no reliable report that links him to a far-right organization or group. How do you know he was part of Sonnenkrieg Division? Nxavar (talk) 10:20, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Y done, per this.X1\ (talk) 21:11, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Far-Right Terrorist Attacks[edit]

There was an edit made to change the infobox, and intro title to call it the "Hanau Far-Right Terrorist Attacks". I undid the revision as this is something that should be discussed. EagleBoss (talk) 22:39, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
