== Proposed title change ==
"Clashes" indicates two sides fighting more or less equally. Can we change this to "raids", a more one-sided term. My understanding is that military and police armed with firearms and tear gas attacked protesters armed with sticks and rocks. "Massacre" is probably too strong a word at this point because it does not seem to have been widely used in the press. [[User:Jehochman|Jehochman]] <sup>[[User talk:Jehochman|Talk]]</sup> 11:49, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
:There's reports and videos of some of the protestors firing back with automatic weapons. Some of them were confiscated after their arrest. But they appear to have been a minority, and only responding to attacks by the security forces. "Raids" as a title fits. --[[User:Harizotoh9|Harizotoh9]] ([[User talk:Harizotoh9|talk]]) 13:11, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
::I would also add "14 AUgust 2013 Egyptian raids" as there will be repercussions of more violence TIED to this in the coming days in August, so we should clarify when it all began. Then the "aftermath" section can cover it. Also don't gorget the Aftermath of the coup page will also carry other details. So this separate event needs to indicate it happened on the 14th.([[User:Lihaas|Lihaas]] ([[User talk:Lihaas|talk]]) 13:27, 15 August 2013 (UTC)).


*'''August 2013 Rabaa massacre''' -> '''August 2013 Rabaa and Nahda sit-ins dispersal'''
: I agree, 'August 2013' suggest we are discussing a much wider angle here. So this should be renamed to August 2013 Egyptian 'clashes' or 'protest', which resulted in a raid in 14 august. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:PLNR|PLNR]] ([[User talk:PLNR|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PLNR|contribs]]) 01:27, 16 August 2013 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
Recently, I've cleaned up the article of POV, and here is a much more accurate title. Also doesn't feature the word "massacre," which is a one-sided and biased word which fits into the Brotherhood's narrative, as an earlier user noted in the past section. Should we keep the title as is, change it to my proposed version, or take a third option? Thanks. [[User:Zakawer|Zakawer]] ([[User talk:Zakawer|talk]]) 16:27, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
:'''Oppose''': A broad-spectrum of reliable sources refer to incident as Rabaa Massacre. Further, injecting one's own biases and POV doesn't qualify as clean-up. --&nbsp;[[User:Dsprc|<span style="color: purple">'''dsprc'''</span>]]&nbsp;[[User_talk:Dsprc|<span style="color: green"><sup>'''[talk]'''</sup></span>]] 07:03, 5 May 2017 (UTC)


: '''Oppose''' A quick search indicates that "massacre" is the term commonly used by international press ([https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2015/08/14/counting-the-dead-of-egypts-tiananmen/ Washington Post], [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/16/rabaa-massacre-egypt-human-rights-watch The Guardian], [http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/aljazeeraworld/2016/08/massacre-rabaa-160816085846897.html Al Jazeera]). Even searching for "sit-in dispersal" brings up articles whose headlines call it "massacre", while the former term seems to be used almost exclusively by Egyptian press. This brings the change in conflict with NPOV per [[WP:UNDUE]]. [[User:Eperoton|Eperoton]] ([[User talk:Eperoton|talk]]) 02:19, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
== Reactions ==


:'''Support''', as I am the person who made this proposal. [[User:Zakawer|Zakawer]] ([[User talk:Zakawer|talk]]) 14:50, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
With every WP page for a major world event, there's a rush to add a huge list of "World reactions". Invariably these reactions are non-committal and say little. "We feel bad for the loss of life blah blah blah". They add very little to the article, take up huge space, and say the same things over and over again. They should be summarized, with more space given to the most important.
: '''Oppose''', this is the title that's overwhelmingly used by reliable news outlets and scholars. [[User:Snooganssnoogans|Snooganssnoogans]] ([[User talk:Snooganssnoogans|talk]]) 14:23, 14 August 2017 (UTC)


: '''Support''' -- Moving these MB, armed people was not a massacre. They weren't innocent civilians. They were asked to leave for a long time. Like in the [[Waco siege]] people died when Janet Reno asked to make a move and get them out. But the main media WP, Al Jazeera and Guardian are biased against Egypt and for MB -that's why they call it a massacre. Egypt is still fighting the MB in Sinai with police being killed almost every day. I don't know what the correct title should be but I don't think it should be called a massacre. Maybe it should be named the Rabaa siege. [[Hisham Barakat]], the general prosecutor, who ordered the people to be moved from Rabaa was assassinated a year later. Another example where it was called a seige is here [[Siege of La Rochelle]] . Also note this (copied from the Al Jazeera WP article) "The network is sometimes perceived to have mainly [[Islamist]] perspectives, promoting the [[Muslim Brotherhood]], and having a pro-[[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] and an anti-[[Shia Islam|Shia]] bias in its reporting of regional issues."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-07-10/why-does-al-jazeera-love-a-hateful-islamic-extremist- |title=Why Does Al Jazeera Love a Hateful Islamic Extremist?|access-date=2015-09-23 |date=10 July 2013 |first1=Jeffrey |last1=Goldberg |publisher=[[Bloomberg L.P.]] |website=bloombergview.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.businessinsider.com/al-jazeera-us-government-funded-anti-muslim-brotherhood-activists-2013-7?IR=T |title=AL JAZEERA: US Government Funded Anti-Muslim Brotherhood Activists |date=10 July 2013 |work=Business Insider |accessdate=16 June 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.agsiw.org/why-america-turned-off-al-jazeera/ |title=Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington - Why America Turned Off Al Jazeera - Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington |work=[[Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington]] |accessdate=6 May 2016}}</ref> So we shouldn't be calling it a reliable source on this specific topic related to the Muslim Brotherhood.[[User:The Eloquent Peasant|The Eloquent Peasant]] ([[User talk:The Eloquent Peasant|talk]]) 02:38, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
The section for the USA's reaction should be given more prominence since they give 1.5 billion in aid to the military and have said that this is under review. That's actually something meaningful. --[[User:Harizotoh9|Harizotoh9]] ([[User talk:Harizotoh9|talk]]) 15:23, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

I really don't like having a "Reactions to" article for every single world event. It's very silly. We don't need full quotes from most of these countries reactions. We can simply summarize. What I propose:
*Keep the reactions of Egypt's neighbors. Summarize their contents, don't always need full quotes.
*Keep the reactions of the UN, and other major international bodies. Try to summarize and reduce size.
*Keep USA's response, as they have close ties and give aid
*For the other countries, simply say something like "Dozens of other countries, such as Germany, France and Sweden condemned the crackdown"
*Possibly keep Bahrain's reaction, simply because I think it's the only one in support of the crackdown.

*I agree - the amount of space devoted to reactions in this article is ridiculous. It desperately needs trimmed. And no it is not "blatant POV" to decide to keep some and not others.

*'''Strongly oppose''' the move request on several grounds. First, the phrase "rabaa massacre" returns 18,600 hits on Google, while "rabaa dispersal" or "rabaa sit-in dispersal" return only 2,600 hits. Therefore per [[WP:COMMONNAME]] "massacre" is the globally recognized title of this event. Second, "massacre" is the term used by [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] from the right, center, left, mainstream, and financial press from all over the world, and by human rights organizations [https://www.ibtimes.com/five-killed-egypt-anniversary-protests-rabaa-square-massacre-1660470][https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/egypt/11804439/UN-urged-to-investigate-Rabaa-massacre-launched-by-Egyptian-security-forces-in-2013.html][https://www.dw.com/en/egypts-rabaa-massacre-rights-group-calls-for-international-probe/a-45066244-0][https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2013/1114/Egyptian-authorities-pave-over-Rabaa-massacre][https://www.voanews.com/world-news/middle-east-dont-use/5-year-anniversary-rabaa-massacre-looms-egypt-comes-under-fire][https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2017/08/arab-spring-rabaa-massacre/536847/][https://time.com/longform/rabaa-square-massacre-legacy/][https://www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releases/egypt-no-justice-900-rabaa-massacre-victims-mass-show-trial-continues][https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/egypt-rabaa-massacre-cairo-muslim-brotherhood-abdel-fattah-al-sisi-ibrahim-halawa-a8491821.html][https://www.ictj.org/news/egypt-marks-five-years-%E2%80%98rabaa-massacre%E2%80%99][https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2018/08/egypt-rabaa/][https://www.msn.com/en-gb/video/other/egypt-marks-five-years-since-rabaa-massacre/vi-BBLU6KD][https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/08/egypt-years-rabaa-massacre-180813145929087.html][https://news.vice.com/en_us/article/yw4k87/egypts-rabaa-massacre-of-1000-morsi-supporters-went-according-to-plan][https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rabaa-massacre-anniversary_b_5678581?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAACXhSz-FPaaQ0AjRlQDNHg9-pAHXxQeOATTElRMvNfdt7txwJKRpcSK9X6mPWnROO1OPzOu4n70CFZujKCne8PnzJlUEa6NIjTdrLj5hkUug2N_VXExVKp6favbXEEa6gsuwNosR5TFTU3QRvl_9JpvSoC0ZwtBDjS-q29K3xyq_][https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-morning-after-egypts-rabaa-massacre].

== Additional Background ==


{{reftalk}}
* Looks like the government has been warning protesters to disperse, for weeks.
== Requested move 13 August 2023 ==

<div class="boilerplate mw-archivedtalk" style="background-color: #efe; margin: 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; border: 1px dotted #aaa;"><!-- Template:RM top -->
* Security officials in charge of riot police units said they had been given notice Sunday to prepare their forces to cordon off the Rabaah site and another protest across town near Cairo University in Giza. Reports emerged of units coming to Cairo from around the country to take part in the operation.
:''The following is a closed discussion of a [[Wikipedia:Requested moves|requested move]]. <span style="color:red">'''Please do not modify it.'''</span> Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a [[Wikipedia:move review|move review]] after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.''

* The security forces had planned to form cordons around the two sites as early as dawn Monday, allowing protesters to leave but preventing others from getting in, to minimize casualties before using water cannons and tear gas, officials told The Associated Press.

* Two days before the raid, news leaked that police were going to cordon off access to the sit-in sites early Monday, protesters took to the streets by the tens of thousands, and many made their way into the protest camps.

* After thousands streamed in and swelled the size of the sit-ins, however, security officials became concerned about the increased chance of bloodshed, and they decided not to move on the camps. "We were stunned by the masses" who came to the camps, one military official told the AP.

* The Interior Ministry has depicted the encampments as a public danger, saying 11 bodies bearing signs of torture were found near both sites. Amnesty International has also reported that anti-Morsi protesters have been captured, beaten, subjected to electric shocks or stabbed. At least eight bodies have arrived at a morgue in Cairo bearing signs of torture, the human rights group said.

* Protesters have been fortifying the sit-ins camps. In Rabaah, men with helmets, sticks and what appeared to be protective sports equipment guarded barricades made of sandbags, truck tires and bricks. They have also built three concrete waist-high barriers against armored vehicles.

Someone should add the death toll which was given by the Ikhwan (2600 protesters killed) in the infobox. It may seem to you unrealistic, but if you want to be balanced and fair, you have to mention the two numbers.

== Military Conflict Infobox? ==

Why is there a military conflict infobox (right hand side) in this article? This is inappropriate given that there aren't two militaries opposed to each other, or even a guerilla group opposed to a military. Its a military opposing a political/religious group. In fact, this event resembles a massacre by most definitions although many news sources are choosing not to use this term. Massacre artciles don't have military infoboxes. But this is getting into another subject, article naming, which I don't want to address now. This box should be removed.

Whoever added the box, if you wish, please explain why you did so and how this conforms to practice in other wiki articles. Thank you.[[User:Furtfurt|Furtfurt]] ([[User talk:Furtfurt|talk]]) 16:46, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

We should be very conservative about using the term "civil war" based on the principle of plausibility.

Your commentary in the summary of edits suggests that you want to set out the 4 journalists deaths in proportion to over 600 deaths by space, which would mean you would measure the section 4/600. You couldn't have been serious or have thought that summary out much. The killing of journalists was a significant part of what happened on Wednesday morning. It doesn't detract in anyway from the huge loss of life or the changed political situation in Egypt. Still, the killing of journalists is a violation of international law. There are many articles about journalists who have been killed across many countries in Wikipedia. And it is more than reasonable to assume that there are going to be some readers who come to this article only for this one reason. Your desire to trim has had some beneficial results, but when you start taking out elements of importance that readers will want to know about, then I think that's problematic. My edits throughout Wikipedia are pretty much devoted to this area, and I know the subject matter very well and Wikipedia policy.

For example, photographers are particularly vulnerable as they are very close to the action in most situations. It's important to know if the person is a native or a foreign correspondent. Native journalists are far more likely to be killed. And experience matters, too. When somebody with the experience of a [[Marie Colvin]] or an [[Yves Debay]] is killed in Syria, that's important as it is a key indicator of the level of danger in a particular situation. As for the others, you're looking at people killed an injured shot in the head and back and feet, and that indicates targeting. Furthermore, the information here doesn't even come close to a resume or a memorial as the context of their inclusion is clearly laid out. This was the day on which the most journalists in Egypt have been killed since at least 1992. That is going to be significant. The legal/human rights ramifications of what the military has done is still unknown, but the deaths, injuries and detention of journalists would play an important role in any future situation.

I didn't say this was those sites, but I pointed them out to you so that you could see that the type of information you seem to question as a standard, and Wikipedia has similar genre standards for different types of articles (e.g. the release dates of albums for music is similar to Allmusic.com, blah, blah blah, 1000s of other examples).

:: All I see is a long list of [[WP:OR]], nothing that clearly states that the police raid was against NCSL, only that they '''support''' the protesters. In contrast every source on the main page, as well as our lead clearly state what that this was a police raid vs Pro-morsi protesters. (you'd argument might hold for the 2013 political violence where its government against lets say NCSL members)

::Expanding on your Original Research:
::# "This shows that NCSL are protesting from day one in Rabaa camp" - No, it says that its members attended the protest, not that they were the only ones who attended it or that they established the protest camp.
::# "The reference shows that NCSL continue to be the organizers of the demonstrations even after the end of Rabaa camp" - many called for demonstrations after the clashes, from the Muslim Brotherhood to several non Muslim liberal organization. Does that makes them all side1 in the raids came before?
::# "The pro-Morsi Anti-Coup alliance" - doesn't shows that "Pro-Morsi are the Anti-coupe" but that 'Anti-Coup alliance' is pro-Morsi. Learn basic logic.

:::*The references clearly shows that the NCSL were the organizers for the camp, however it's impossible to find a reference states that all the protesters are NCSL members, because this is not true.
:::*By the way, even not all the protesters were pro-Morsi. Some of them were Pro-Democracy (eg. some of the 6th of April youth movement members).

:::: So to sum it up you still have no sources to back up your claim, as opposed to every source on the article that backs the security force vs pro-morsi camp.(which is consistent with whole article). Furthermore you state: ''"even not all the protesters were pro-Morsi. Some of them were Pro-Democracy"'' - I can agree with later part, not all porters were members of NCSL (Islamist coalition), but everyone were pro-Morsi reinstatement, or at least enough so that every source on this article call them this way.

::I don't see where this "argument" is going with one side presenting evidences and the other side just keeps refuting them without presenting sources from his own side.

::In source [http://english.alarabiya.net/en/views/news/middle-east/2013/08/18/The-outcome-in-Egypt-may-be-unfavorable.html] published in Alarabia English (20 Aug 2013), it is stated that "The sit-ins included more than just Muslim Brotherhood (MB) members, and even more than just the supporters of the pro-Mursi coalition (the National Coalition for the Support of Legitimacy)". I cannot find a '''clearer''' way of rephrasing this statement to make it more comprehensible... The sit-ins contained '''MB''' supporters, '''NCSL''' supporters and '''more'''. (the author of the article, published in Alarabia English, is a Senior Lecturer in Middle East Politics and Security Studies at the University of Exeter).
::This second source [http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/78849/Egypt/Politics-/ProMorsi-protesters-begin-sitin-outside-High-Const.aspx] in '''Alahram English''' (The number one official journal in Egypt) (12 Aug 2013) states that "Morsi supporters — namely the Muslim Brotherhood and its Islamist allies — have been staging sit-ins at Nasr City's Rabaa Al-Adawiya Mosque and in Giza's Nahda Square, as well as daily rallies demanding Morsi's reinstatement, following his ouster on 3 July." So again, the ones who were in sit-ins at Rabaa against who the raids (Which are the main topic of this wikipage) were performed were not formed only from MB, but rather from several groups including the MB. So for the sake of '''completeness''', '''comprehensiveness''' and '''integrity''', let's write all the supporting parties and let's not exclude any of them. If any side wants to object he should present '''credible sources''', otherwise, let's not drag out this discussion further.([[User:Tashfen|Tashfen]] ([[User talk:Tashfen|talk]]) 21:59, 21 August 2013 (UTC))
::: Finally someone who can make a good sourced and explained argument, with which I coincendently can agree with. It is what I have been saying from the start, that there is no source stating that NSCL is the sole organizer like Mazidan tries to peg, but one of several. Thus my objection with
:::: Replacing: "Pro-Morsi protesters: details..."
:::: With current "National Coalition for Supporting Legitimacy: details..."
::: Which is contrast to every source in the article, including one quoted above. My second unrelated objection is about the details. Everything that sourced goes, but we should also be concerned with readability. I seen only NCSL specifically mentioned(in sources and article), so i don't see why we need to list every single member of the coalition. At worst say something like "[[Anti-Coup Alliance|NCSL-coalition of x member]]" (member are listed inside), which doesn't detract anything but makes the list more readable.--[[User:PLNR|PLNR]] ([[User talk:PLNR|talk]]) 00:59, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Proposed title change[edit]

  • August 2013 Rabaa massacre -> August 2013 Rabaa and Nahda sit-ins dispersal

Recently, I've cleaned up the article of POV, and here is a much more accurate title. Also doesn't feature the word "massacre," which is a one-sided and biased word which fits into the Brotherhood's narrative, as an earlier user noted in the past section. Should we keep the title as is, change it to my proposed version, or take a third option? Thanks. Zakawer (talk) 16:27, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: A broad-spectrum of reliable sources refer to incident as Rabaa Massacre. Further, injecting one's own biases and POV doesn't qualify as clean-up. -- dsprc [talk] 07:03, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A quick search indicates that "massacre" is the term commonly used by international press (Washington Post, The Guardian, Al Jazeera). Even searching for "sit-in dispersal" brings up articles whose headlines call it "massacre", while the former term seems to be used almost exclusively by Egyptian press. This brings the change in conflict with NPOV per WP:UNDUE. Eperoton (talk) 02:19, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support, as I am the person who made this proposal. Zakawer (talk) 14:50, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, this is the title that's overwhelmingly used by reliable news outlets and scholars. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 14:23, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- Moving these MB, armed people was not a massacre. They weren't innocent civilians. They were asked to leave for a long time. Like in the Waco siege people died when Janet Reno asked to make a move and get them out. But the main media WP, Al Jazeera and Guardian are biased against Egypt and for MB -that's why they call it a massacre. Egypt is still fighting the MB in Sinai with police being killed almost every day. I don't know what the correct title should be but I don't think it should be called a massacre. Maybe it should be named the Rabaa siege. Hisham Barakat, the general prosecutor, who ordered the people to be moved from Rabaa was assassinated a year later. Another example where it was called a seige is here Siege of La Rochelle . Also note this (copied from the Al Jazeera WP article) "The network is sometimes perceived to have mainly Islamist perspectives, promoting the Muslim Brotherhood, and having a pro-Sunni and an anti-Shia bias in its reporting of regional issues."[1][2][3] So we shouldn't be calling it a reliable source on this specific topic related to the Muslim Brotherhood.The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 02:38, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strongly oppose the move request on several grounds. First, the phrase "rabaa massacre" returns 18,600 hits on Google, while "rabaa dispersal" or "rabaa sit-in dispersal" return only 2,600 hits. Therefore per WP:COMMONNAME "massacre" is the globally recognized title of this event. Second, "massacre" is the term used by reliable sources from the right, center, left, mainstream, and financial press from all over the world, and by human rights organizations [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Lastly, a "massacre" is what actually occurred, and we shouldn't be engaged in WP:EUPHEMISM here. -Darouet (talk) 04:51, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Crimes against humanity category removal[edit]

Crimes against humanity is a specific legal concept. In order to be included in the category, the event (s) must have been prosecuted as a crime against humanity, or at a bare minimum be described as such by most reliable sources. Most of the articles that were formerly in this category did not mention crimes against humanity at all, and the inclusion of the category was purely original research.
