fate of school building?
editWhat was the fate of the school building itself? Was it rebuilt? Demolished? Abandoned as is? Elsquared (talk) 04:38, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- The school was rebuilt in 2011–2012 and now functions as a memorial. The southern wing and and the structure between the gym and the school proper were demolished during the renovations: https://web.archive.org/web/20110602010121/http://region15.ru/news/main/2011/05/29/17-50/ There are plans to create a museum there: a new renovation of the school building is ongoing, due to be finished by the end of the year: https://web.archive.org/web/20220506100042/https://region15.ru/v-beslane-prodolzhaetsya-stroitelstvo-muzejnogo-kompleksa/ The sections of the school previously demolished in 2011 will now be restored.

Extract is the wrong word
editExtract in a military or police context implies rescue. Here the intended idea is elimination, cleansing, banning. 2604:3D09:8879:4B90:DDEC:E35E:1B81:EDAE (talk) 07:36, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
(Sorry, the above is mine too.) I meant to add that it's in the "Motive" section of the r-h summary box. Dho1 (talk) 07:40, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
Mario Kart
editWhen the popular arcade game Mario Kart Arcade GP came out, oddly enough it contained an image from this crisis labeled as camtest2.jpg. Maybe add this somewhere or is this a bit of a reach? 2600:1016:B028:52C:5D0C:BBB2:B873:146F (talk) 21:55, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- This feels irrelevant to the main purpose of the article. Though this may be considered a neat bit of trivia that mentions the subject, it is unrelated to the rest of the content of this article. Perhaps this could find a place in the article Mario Kart Arcade GP, but it doesn't belong in the article for the Beslan school siege. Apelcini (talk) 15:28, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
Section for Criticisms of the Russian Government
editI believe that the section for Criticisms of the Russian Government in particular is too long, and makes the article difficult to navigate comfortably. How could this section best be condensed, while still retaining the necessary nuance for such a controversial issue? Apelcini (talk) 15:24, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
Source accuracy
editSome of the sources cited in this article are used a little too loosely to cite in article claims that the source itself doesn't make. For example source 11 at one point is cited for the official government hostage count despite it being an article from the Los Angeles Times. What should be done about this? ~2025-33011-63 (talk) 20:40, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
