This article has been mentioned by multiple media organizations: Omer Benjakob (April 26, 2018). "Revealed: The Four Articles That Got Misplaced Pages Banned in Turkey". Haaretz. Retrieved May 3, 2018. These demands pertained to two specific Misplaced Pages articles: "State-sponsored terrorism" and "Foreign involvement in the Syrian Civil War."Both articles have subsections that address Turkey, and both contain claims that Turkey has supported ISIS. Stephen Harrison (May 21, 2019). "Why China Blocked Misplaced Pages in All Languages". Slate (magazine). Retrieved May 23, 2019. As Omer Benjakob reported for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Turkish officials reached out to Wikimedia several times in 2017 to request that content be changed in two Misplaced Pages articles: "State-sponsored terrorism" and "Foreign involvement in the Syrian Civil War." Mark Lowen (May 23, 2019). "Misplaced Pages petitions ECHR over Turkey ban". BBC. Retrieved May 25, 2019. Ankara complained about the content of two articles: on the Syrian war and on state-sponsored terrorism, demanding they be removed. In meetings with the Turkish authorities, Misplaced Pages bosses explained that articles could be edited - and that removing them contravened values of democratising knowledge. Laura Pitel (May 23, 2019). "Misplaced Pages takes Turkey to European human rights court". Financial Times. Retrieved May 25, 2019. According to the Wikimedia executives, the ban followed a demand from the Turkish authorities to remove two articles: one about the Syrian civil war and another about state-sponsored terrorism. Stephen Harrison (January 29, 2020). "Misplaced Pages Has Been Unblocked in Turkey, Finally". Slate (magazine). Retrieved January 30, 2020. As Omer Benjakob reported for Haaretz, Turkish officials had previously contacted the Wikimedia Foundation in the United States to request that content on articles such as "State-sponsored terrorism" and "Foreign involvement in the Syrian Civil War" be removed.

Dossier

@Hindustani.Hulk: If the "the Foreign Office of Pakistan made public a dossier", then why you need to mention "dossier was shared with the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres"? Are you going to add everyone with whom the dossier was shared? See WP:UNDUE. Aman Kumar Goel 14:40, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

No france?

France and it's bombing of the rainbow warrior is a clear case of state sponsored terrorism 31.200.166.80 (talk) 11:14, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Given that the Directorate-General for External Security admitted to their role in the bombing/homicide, it would seem hard to justify not describing it as terrorism. However, it most likely qualifies as state terrorism rather than state-sponsored terrorism as defined in this article, and is included in that one instead.
