Brighton hotel bombing

Congrats on the main page appearance today. A difficult article to get through FAC...was and remain impressed. If we had Wiki in the early or mid-90s it would have been a brutal review haha; the article and its review remind me once again how much the two countries have reconciled since the Good Friday Agreement.

I agree - I don't think I could have done this back then - far too many keyboard warriors would have jumped on it. As it was, there was only one bit of nationalistic vandalism yesterday, which I was surprised about - I thought it was going to be a bumpy day with complaints we hadn't called Magee a terrorist or put in condemnatory language about the IRA or the bombing - again a sign of changing times, I hope!

I was also surprised at how smooth its ride on the front page was. It gives hope that one day we might be able to write dispassionately about thing like the Arab-Israeli conflict. And it encourages me to write more articles on the Troubles. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:18, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Balcombe St is still on my list to do - probably early next year, although I'm flexible on it! - SchroCat (talk) 11:10, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's still on mine. I'm in the market for a project but I have a few smaller things lined up so early in the new year could work well. I've always thought there's scope for a broad article on the SAS's role in the Troubles as well. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:48, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
