Is it a coup or a coup attempt if it was thwarted?[edit]

I suppose using the term "plot" or "conspiracy" is better? Howard the Duck (talk) 00:28, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The usual description of this is "aborted coup"; I realize the error now, and think moving this to February 1986 Reform the Armed Forces Movement coup plot" would be okay. - MistahPeemayer (talk) 12:32, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why not use the term "aborted coup" instead? Howard the Duck (talk) 16:58, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
