QUOTE(Silver seren @ Mon 2nd May 2011, 12:25am)  Not a week ago, but April 29th in the morning, apparently. April 29th was when Obama decided to go ahead with the operation. It actually happened on May 1st. From the BBC: QUOTE On Sunday a team of US forces undertook the operation in Abbottabad, 100km (62 miles) north-east of Islamabad. |

From the BBC: QUOTE On Sunday a team of US forces undertook the operation in Abbottabad, 100km (62 miles) north-east of Islamabad. Yeah, I figured that out. Of course, the Death article didn't state that at the time, I had to look within the reference about April 29th. Now, the issue is whether we're going to say May 1st or May 2nd. I would say 1st, since that was the day over here, while it was May 2nd over there. And this is English Wikipedia and not the Arabic version. |

And this is English Wikipedia and not the Arabic version. And of course the English Wikipedia is only for Americans so should only consider American time zones. Let's ignore the many English-speaking contributors in for example South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In fact, bin Laden was in Pakistan, not an Arabic-speaking country. While many Pakistanis will know some Arabic for religious reasons, I'd bet that more of them contribute to the English WP than the Arabic one. QUOTE(Silver seren @ Mon 2nd May 2011, 3:45pm) QUOTE(Herschelkrustofsky @ Mon 2nd May 2011, 2:38pm) It's interesting to note that a mention of the killing of bin Laden now appears in Barack Obama (T-H-L-K-D), immediately prior to the sentence about Obama announcing his re-election campaign. I'll see if I can do something about that. For a start, it's chronologically the wrong order. This post has been edited by Detective: Tue 3rd May 2011, 8:47am |
