First line[edit]

First line should be “terrorist militant protest campaign”

“The suffragette bombing and arson campaign was a terrorist militant protest campaign orchestrated by suffragettes in Great Britain and Ireland between the years 1912 and 1914.”

Mass murder attempt via repeated bombing and arson is terrorism.

Credibility loss Wikipedia.

The article makes quite clear that some authorities regard the campaign as "terrorist", while others contest the term. Wikipedia remains neutral. GrindtXX (talk) 13:21, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The organization itself called it terrorism and multiple, ten or more, cited sources agree. The article has one academic contesting it June Purve.

From article: During the campaign, the WSPU described its own bombing and arson attacks as terrorism

By your statement, if one academic calls 9/11 attacks as not terrorist, Wikipedia can bury terroist in the end of the 9/11 article.

The effect is that searching for suffragette bombing and arson” results in only the first two sentences in the results page preview and omits the important fact that it was a terrorism campaign.

That is why the first two sentences should include terrorist; else whitewashing terrorism.

This same pushing of unexpedient terms into later parts of an article is bad.

It is part of a larger making convenient omissions to history for narrative reasons.

This citation doesn't make the case for the edit. Contemporary description is 'militant' and the use of (modern term) 'terrorism' is discussed within the article including stating contemporary called by some 'terror' with citations. Kaybeesquared (talk) 21:42, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
