Vandal

The last editorial effort is a blatant anti-Semitic vandalism: from "Firing squad" to "Jewish terrorist assassins". Carlotm (talk) 06:32, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Soviet Union / Its Republics

If a person has been assassinated in Ukrainian USSR or in Byelorussian SSR during the Soviet period, do we have to add the item to the Soviet Union/Russia chapter or to the chapter of the appropriate independent state?

Or, for example, if a person was assassinated in Western Ukraine or Western Belarus which were controlled by the Second Polish Republic in the 1920s-1930s, what to do then? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Катала (talk • contribs) 01:32, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Great question. Italy only existed since 1861, but its list goes back to the eighth century BC. There is inconsistent handling of imperial states in lists like this one and others, with some stereotypically being given a privileged status. A good start will be to split Russia and the USSR into separate sections, because the latter has twelve successor states and comprised territories of fifteen modern states. —Michael Z. 21:09, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have left the Soviet Russian SFSR under “Russia,” but split off entries in other republics (and a post-Soviet one). —Michael Z. 22:01, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Articles about assassinations

If there is an article about the assassination itself, in addition to the victim, perpetrator and place, how can it be linked from this article? JIP | Talk 02:13, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As per my edit summary, I have removed this entry because it does not meet our criteria of "For the purposes of this article, an assassination is defined as the deliberate, premeditated murder of a prominent figure, often for religious or political reasons." None of 'Deliberate' ,'Pre-Meditated' or 'Religious of Political reasons' are supported by the facts, we just don't know yet. JeffUK (talk) 13:28, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
