I have changed the first mention of Black September in that section to a link to the correct article, and removed the later link. (Hohum@) 17:56, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the "Aftermath" section, it is stated that Carmel Eliash died of a heart attack during the memorial service in the Olympic Stadium, which is not correct. He suffered a heart attack but was flown to Israel and recovered. He died of another heart attack in May 1973. See the Wikipedia article about Carmel Eliash.

As shown by Anna Greithanner, Dominik Aufleger and Robert Wolff in 2022 when they found a copy of the original communiqué in the Bavarian State Archives the terrorists of Black September did not demand the release of Andreas Baader but only of Ulrike Meinhof. Their article as showed that the formerly published number of to be released prisoners of about 236 was wrong since the list includes the names of 328.
Thus the article should correct this mistake by removing Andreas Baader and including a section about common micsonceptions regarding the demands of Black September.
Corrections made to show the "original communiqué" cited does in fact only list the name of Ulrike Meinhof and not that of Andreas Baader, plus add inline citation/reference. Nightsturm (talk) 21:41, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ultimatum section:
"Shortly before 5:00 am, the Munich police, the organizing committee, and paramedics were alerted. Ambulances arrived, and the blood-soaked Weinberg that the terrorists had thrown in front of the apartment building entrance (Connollystraße 31), who could not be saved, was recovered."
This is poorly written overall but at a minimum change 'that' to who, in reference to a person.
News wire section:
"Initial news reports published all over the world, indicated that all the hostages were alive and that all the attackers had been killed."
This is not a grammatical sentence and is confusing as written. Most easily corrected with a comma after 'reports'. 2601:445:801:6F30:6168:FC43:BB71:8DA9 (talk) 07:20, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article appears to have started in UK English ("armoured") and to now be a mixture of spellings. I propose to standardise it on the original version, per MOS:RETAIN. Any objections? John (talk) 08:01, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: There are no references in the Wikipedia article about it. If you have a reliable source to back this up, please link it in the reply and I will update the article.— BerryForPerpetuity (talk) 13:20, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Bunnypranav (talk) 14:51, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
