Foreign policy chief of EU is attributing the attack to ISIL. Articles here and there saying that Tunisia had thousands of its citizens leave to join that group. When more has been written, and from reliable sources, there could be a section on this theory. Unless ISIL admit to it, of course.

The dead, sure. The BBC source I read about this in noted nationalities almost straight away. Those countries will publicly mourn them and invoke them in speeches. But categorizing the injured seems trivial, pending feature pieces about particular injured. Paralyzed and blind victims sometimes get a spotlight, very rarely the grazed or hyperventilating.

Yes, I don't think there is any need to mention the nationalities of the injured in that section as the info is mentioned in the infobox section anyway. But the info on deaths is different in the French and English languages articles.

That aside, there are differences regarding the nationalities of the casualties, there are two French deaths in the English article missing in the French one and three German and one Brazilian death in the French article missing in the Brazilian one. Three Polish deaths in the French article, one in the English one. I am not sure about the details though, maybe related to double nationalities or conflicting info in different sources. But it's something to keep an eye on.

Never use any language's Wikipedia as a source, unless it cites a reliable one. Probably best to just drop the table for now, till one of those shows up.

Agreed, maybe some official info will come up later, for now it seems just bits here and there, for example EFE reported the supposed Brazilian death, but no name was given and Brazil's authorities haven't confirmed it yet.

I updated the table, there are still few unanswered questions:
some websites put 4 French deaths, other 3
some websites put 2 not yet identified deaths (unknown)
somebody wrote 5 Tunisian deaths, I have confirmation only for 3
I have a problem with referencing, while referencing the article I get several different references, could anyone explain how to repost the same reference number instead of duplicating everything please?
Thanks — Preceding

This happens with every single event with a reaction section. The only cure is time, I've found. Trying to shrink it before the buzz dies down leads to more frustration than conciseness. But yeah, if this time's finally different, that'd be cool.

In the background section, I put the sourced fact that ISIS are occupying part of Libya. It was removed because apparently as it is not in Tunisia, it is not relevant. I think it is important for the reader to know that this Islamic State of "Iraq and the Levant" has expanded out of that geographical area, and is a threat in North Africa in general.
