Request
editKindly help in updating the page. I have requested here also. Thanks. --Bhadani (talk) 13:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- I am really sorry for adding an old link, and thankful to Redtigerxyz for removing the same. --Bhadani (talk) 14:53, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Requested move (Delhi =/= New Delhi)
editI request an administrator to please move the article to 2008 Delhi bombings. Places like Greater Kailash and Karol Bagh come under Municipal Corporation of Delhi and not New Delhi Municipal Council. It is really annoying to see the term "New Delhi" being applied for the whole of Delhi. --Enigma Blues (talk) 18:43, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Coordinates
editCan anybody supply me the coordinates using Google Earth/Maps? I can then make a map of the blast areas. =Nichalp «Talk»= 19:17, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- The coordinates for:
- Barakhamba Road (near CP) is 28.629130686285198, 77.22633361816406
- Ajmal Khan Road (Karol Bagh) is 28.645797670342223, 77.1888256072998
- Greater Kailash-1 is 28.54811220269201, 77.23740577697754
- Found using Google Maps and this tool. Hope this helps --Enigma Blues (talk) 19:39, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- There's a map on hi.wp - labelled in Hindi - if that's any help. Shimgray | talk | 22:35, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- Ganeshk has already provided us a map. :) Those values are way too precise. With those coordinates, it would be precise to the nanometre. I'll add these values in the infobox, after rounding up. =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:09, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Motive
editPlease provide a source/citation for the entry under motive. I question the neutrality of the "motive" as listed in its current form.
This template, which appears right below the infobox, treads a bit too much on the text. I noticed the same for the recent Ahmedabad and Bangalore blasts-related pages. It does not augur well for the appearance of the article. Can there be a consensus to sort this out? Mspraveen (talk) 03:56, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. Perhaps it should be converted to a footer template instead? =Nichalp «Talk»= 09:37, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, it works for me. It could ideally be located above the War on Terrorism template. Mspraveen (talk) 15:36, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
"Reactions" section
editPlease removed this space-consuming (it takes up half of the article) and silly section. All the politicians just repeat their templated response that they use for every terrorist attack. If anyone comes out in favor of the bombing, then put it in, otherwise its just a waste. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 05:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- It may be templated and regurgitated now, but it'll be valuable in 50 or 100 years. Punkmorten (talk) 08:40, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- I don't understand. You admit that it means nothing now, yet you know forsure that in a hundred years it will be notable. How's that? --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 14:55, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- It's not had any development overnight - this seems to be like the same set of quotes. I'll move the quotes to talk and then incorporate the section in the article, I think. Shimgray | talk | 12:25, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- That's a fine idea. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 14:55, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- Here we go... Shimgray | talk | 17:47, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Press confusion
editThere is always "Press confusion" in such incidents, initial reports from the media can be contradictory because information is not readily available. There is a state of chaos after blasts. Official announcements are also not made at the early stage after the blast. I think the section can be removed.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 13:06, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

- It is a space-consuming addition which is totally useless here. Each politician just echoes their usual pattern of response that they use after every episode. The common phraseologies are found to be condemned, I strongly condemned or my deepest sympathies etc. Additionally, please have a look at WP:NOT also. --Avinesh T 09:44, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

editWho remembers Mohan Chand Sharma? Anasuya Roy, NDTV.com, December 01, 2008 9:43 AM (New Delhi) ""They had promised us so many things," said Narottam Sharma, father. The government was quick to make promises that Sharma's family would get his full salary as pension. But procedures are yet to be completed."
