Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 29 November 2024

[edit]

In the Ultimatum section of Ultimatum, negotiations and first rescue effort, last line of fourth paragraph, change "Minister of Defence" to "Minister of Defense" ParkerSolar (talk) 00:08, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: both are correct and no valid reason given for the proposed change. M.Bitton (talk) 01:35, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction is misleading

[edit]

The Introduction says that the Olympians who were held hostage were "later killed," but does not say by whom. This reads like an attempt to deflect accountability. The introduction should be edited to read "and took nine others hostage and later killed them during a failed rescue attempt."

Incorrect death listed

[edit]

In the AFTERMATH section "Effect on the Games" it says quote: "...Carmel Eliash. During the memorial service, Eliash collapsed and died of a heart attack." After reading Carmel's page I discovered he survived this heart attack and was flown back to Israel, but died of a different heart attack the following year at a different unrelated ceremony. 76.139.178.134 (talk) 15:45, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Wilfried Böse involvement

[edit]

In this article Wolfgang Kraushaar says “There is serious information that Böse also supported the terrorists of the Black September in the Olympic attacks,” but without providing any details. Certainly worth mentioning if true. Do any German-speakers know more? Prezbo (talk) 09:41, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite Needed

[edit]

Someone needs to rewrite this article like they weren’t narrating a movie. Kinglouie0805 (talk) 04:14, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
