"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. Jehochman ^Talk 11:49, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 13:11, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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.(Lihaas (talk) 13:27, 15 August 2013 (UTC)).[reply]

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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PLNR (talk • contribs) 01:27, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 15:23, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that countries near Egypt would count more than a country that does not even neighbor Egypt. Not to mention that focus on the aid might be non netural. --Super Goku V (talk) 21:12, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Should most of them be erased or added to a new article just for reactions? ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 00:12, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We can add the reactions by Countries to a new article just for them and leave the local reactions and major organizations like the UN. --Super Goku V (talk) 01:06, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, though I am afraid it might get deleted. The Reaction to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting barely made it because it was considered an "exceptionally compelling case". Your call, but thanks for the reply. ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 01:33, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A curfew was initially declared in 14 of the 27 governorates with only 13 of them being listed in brackets. Please include Qena as one of the governorates where the curfew is to be imposed. I am the one who initially wrote this sentence yesterday and found Qena removed this morning. After the page was locked for unregistered users to make edits, I noticed that it was once again erroneously removed. Who is intentionally and repetitively making such an obvious mistake? I have multiple sources but one should suffice: http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/0/79053/Egypt/0/Updated-Curfew-in--Egypt-governorates-amid-state-o.aspx 173.35.67.177 (talk) 22:49, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
