Talk:Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi: Difference between revisions

infobox image

Couldn't we get a new image on Baghadi, from the new video perhaps? Or does ISIS also have copyright? 78.108.56.35 (talk) 16:12, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Couldn't we get a goddamn verification before making this an article? Wait a week or two before letting Trump's bullshit brigade put this on something like Wikipedia.

Semi-protected edit request on 7 May 2019

Al-Baghdadi has a son [1], please add |children=1 in infobox. 219.78.190.130 (talk) 04:34, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi#Children lists a number of alleged/possible children. No figure is listed in the infobox for this reason. NiciVampireHeart 05:49, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

According to US sources, he's dead as of today

Special forces raid. Hagerthehorrible (talk) 03:11, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

maybe hold off on adding this info until the morning. the white house has some sort of announcement at 9 a.m. 2601:190:400:3E40:A984:D143:9505:10E4 (talk) 03:27, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Agreed, the article states that the military hasn't fully confirmed, only they have a high degree of confidence, and they're currently undergoing additional biometric testing. This needs to not show him as dead until it actually has been confirmed. 2601:1C1:8700:1780:94A3:C206:3BCE:3532 (talk) 05:12, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Probably a fucking lie because it is Trump's military. It's all a fucking lie.

Nominated for the main page at ITN

Nominated for Republican bullshit of the year.

Death

Because his death hasn't been confirmed, shouldn't the page mention him as PKIA (Presumed killed in action) instead of KIA? XNanoWarriorx (talk) 05:26, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Agreed. As more information comes out over the next few hours, Wikipedia should keep to its usual standards of evidence, especially considering that there have been multiple instances in the past where his death was reported which turned out to (obviously) be false.

I don't think it should say anything until this is a verified and confirmed story. If you have more than this(https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/10/targetted-isil-leader-abu-bakr-al-baghdadi-191027050027973.html). In the next 24 hours trump says he will make a statement. Even after that, I would wait until it's fully covered. Technophant (talk) 08:53, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Which Barisha?

There are three Barishas in Syria, two of which Baghdadi could have plausibly have been killed in (in Idlib govern., under anti-gov control, close to Turkish border). All sources seem to just say Barisha, Syria. Is it Barisha, Jisr al-Shugur, or Barisha, Harem? -Thespündragon 07:28, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

"Baghdadi" or "al-Baghdadi"

The article needs consistency in surname style. I think we should drop the "al", except in the whole name. What do you think, folks? InedibleHulk (talk) 09:32, October 27, 2019 (UTC)

Baghdadi, or al-Trumps-Bullshiti.
