six or seven gangs?

The lede refers to seven gangs, elsewhere six. ϢereSpielChequers 19:49, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Good catch. There appears to be conflicting information between sources. Manycinemas.org reports seven gangs, while IHT reports only six. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 20:06, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

If both those sources are valid then what do you think of a phrasing such as "six or seven gangs (the sources differ)" ϢereSpielChequers 05:57, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Thepoc.net also reports six gangs. As far as I know, while looking up sources for this article, manycinemas was the only source that ever said "seven", which leads me to think that the "seven" was an error (If I made an error about the error I'm all ears).

The phrase "six or seven gangs (the sources differ)" sounds a bit clunky to me. Perhaps the text should continue to mention "six gangs" with a footnote mentioning that "some sources report seven rival gangs". Kind of like:

"Fifty-two members of six rival gangs..."

I'm not willing to dismiss the manycinemas source entirely, since it's the only source I could find that mentioned precisely "fifty-two gang members". —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 14:56, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

That sounds sensible. But the Note would be better as "unlike the other sources, Manycinemas referred to seven gangs" ϢereSpielChequers 16:12, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Looks good. Added it in to explain the confusion. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 23:49, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
