Talk:Black Friday (1978)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An event mentioned in this article is a September 8 selected anniversary.
[edit] Baseless rumor
Emad al-Din Baghi reports (based on the statistics held by the Foundation for the Martyrs) that the total number of the people killed in this event is 88. I corrected the erroneous number.
- You seem to be right based on http://www.emadbaghi.com/en/archives/000592.php. I also fixed the name of your source.--13:51, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- I corrected the numberrs again. It seems that Baghi's numbers are accurate. Please do not just delete numbers. If you have a better source (compared to someone who actually counted the number of dossiers held by the Iranian government), please cite your source. --10:36, 9 September 2006 (UTC) Mrjahan
You skimmed one sentence: "On the same day in other parts of the capital a total of 24 people died in clashes with martial law forces among them one female."[1] 64+24=88.--15:05, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
The total number (in line with numbers announced by the government at the time of incident) is either 88 or 89. My reference to correction was to the word "hundreds" that somehow crept back into the article after edition. I hope this time the numbers stick. Mrjahan
