Editing Talk:Bloody Sunday (1972) (section)

===Reboot===
The murder charges and trial of Soldier F sections take up a vastly disproportionate amount of space in this article. A new, separate article for those really needs to be created [[User:Billsmith60|Billsmith60]] ([[User talk:Billsmith60|talk]]) 20:43, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
:It's been almost a month since the above post (which I've split out into its own section for ease of editing) and three months since the verdict and last major edits regarding this matter. I'd say we have three options for the trial section: keep as-is, trim it down, or split it off into its own article.
:At the moment, the only thing I am sure of is that I don't really want to keep this as-is; both in length and references it's about 16% of the total page length, which doesn't sound like a ton until one takes into account the page is currently at 150k bytes. It definitely has enough content (at 24k bytes) to merit being split off, I just wonder if it's a bit too in the weeds to ''necessitate'' a full article; it really comes down to "there was a trial, he was found not guilty as the evidence wasn't sufficient" and could probably/easily be condensed into 1-2 paragraphs without losing the important information.

:::I've added two tags: to suggest the creation of a separate article and note the excessive detail in the absence thereof [[User:Billsmith60|Billsmith60]] ([[User talk:Billsmith60|talk]]) 09:26, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
::::I split off the trial section to [[Draft:Trial of Soldier F]]. I'm not sure if we need more explanation or expansion of the lead (definitely could use suggestions on categories that we could add), but if folk are fine with what is there to start off with, I'll go ahead and move it to the article space.
