What MadHatter said is correct. I may be biased by being a chemist, but superscripted numbers enclosed in square brackets are what I expect footnotes to look like. By the way, the trick is to use \[number\], it will escape the MarkDown rendering. If I had not used backslashes, the system would have tried to interpret it as a link and removed the [1].

| Jun 3, 2016 at 19:39 | comment | added | Keeta - reinstate Monica | I am just suggesting with a comment that if you are stating something as a fact, that it should be backed up with a source. For instance, this link (not specific to this incident) would seem to refute part of your unbacked claim. express.co.uk/news/world/644827/… | |
| Jun 3, 2016 at 19:21 | comment | added | MadHatter | Whilst that is a peculiarity of SE's markup engine, in this case Jan has carefully avoided using [number] in such a way that the markup engine performs that local interpretation. I understood him/her to be indicating footnotes, and read them as such. | |

| Jun 3, 2016 at 19:03 | comment | added | Jan | @Keeta I didn’t link anywhere. I have seen a large number of statistics, however, they were mostly on paper and/or dug somewhere that would be too hard to dig up again. Many of them predate New Year. All of them were outside of the context given. Many come from government sources, so do not fall under ‘news’. I did not follow the news coverage to the extent that would allow me to believe or not believe the hypothesis ‘Arab males’ or ‘asylum seekers’. Indeed, I believe that the nationality and legality status of these individuals is irrelevant to both the news and the claim of the question. | |
| Jun 3, 2016 at 18:45 | comment | added | Keeta - reinstate Monica | If you use link formatting, the expectation is not to link in your own post but to link to another site that supports the statement given. You state you "didn't really follow the news coverage", yet state "All statistics I have seen so far...". If you have seen no statistics and watched no news, you could factually state everything you have stated and yet be completely factually incorrect. | |
