This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Owo church attack article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.
With respect to any reverting restrictions:
Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.
If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

BBC on June 9 said toll revised downward from 50 to "at least 40." (Reuters on June 8 put toll at only 22.) – Sca (talk) 14:47, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The 22 figure comes from an early estimate by government agencies, they revised that today to at least 40.[1][2]Dunutubble (talk) (Contributions) 19:14, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Dunutubble and Sca: They say more than 80 were killed.[1] Can you also verify and update it? 99.165.88.9 (talk) 00:13, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
they said more than 80 "feared" dead not officially feared but the official count was like 40 something Dubstar44 (talk) 00:15, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yet "more than 80" figure came from unnamed source knowledgeable about the incident. It say "A source with direct knowledge of the investigation said the bodies of 82 victims were in a local morgue". I think it needs to be mentioned. 99.165.88.9 (talk) 01:05, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In that case I agree with IP on this one. The 80 statement should still be attributed to the author as the death toll still seems unclear. Dunutubble (talk) (Contributions) 02:37, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nope. A single unnamed, unofficial source isn't news or encyclopedic prose. -- Sca (talk) 12:38, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is no policy which say that only the figures from officials should be mentioned. If a reliable source like ABC is mentioning an estimate without doubting over it then we are also allowed to mention it. 99.165.88.9 (talk) 00:57, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
