Really small? small as in 49.3 percent of Ney Yorkers saying yes to "some of our leaders knew in advance attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and consciously failed to act"

Thanks for your nice comments on the Portal's talk page. I hope you help us, proposing articles and pictures to be selected, updating the "to do" box or the "did you know". Feel free to make any suggestions you want! Thanks! Afonso Silva 18:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
See Talk:Oklahoma_City_bombing#Proposal.2Fapologies. Thx — Xiutwel (talk) 14:18, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your response. While I know now the rules of wikipedia, I have a questions. 1. How did you know that I had edited those pages and put what I put?
Secondly, I do have some issuse with your editing.
As a US Marine, who served in Iraq, people like Glick, Beamer, Burnett, and Bingham are personal heroes to me. When I was in Iraq and felt homesick and tired, I looked at a list of names. The above were on that list along with other 9/11 victims. When I looked at thoses names, it reminded me why I was there. "Do it for them" was my motivation. So why can I not honor those 4 men with the word "gallantly"? On numerous Medal of Honor citations for Marines and Soldiers who were awarded posthumonsly, the last sentence reads: "He gallantly gave his life for his country." I beleive that you are being too politically correct. And that's what's wrong with this country. However, I will respect opinion, but I asked that you would reconsider and let me add what I had wrote for those 4 men.
Thank you for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.89.255.254 (talk • contribs)
PS. Both the 9/11 Commission and Al-Queda stated that Flight 93 was headed for the Capitol.
Apparently, Silverstein properties was wrong in their height claims about three of the buildings going up during the WTC reconstruction...as shown in the changes I made here, the heights will be substantially lower than originally reported...it was, I believe just a simple mistake, not a deliberate attempt to mislead...[2]. An anon added the info to the World Trade Center article and I adjusted the three articles I did on these towers to reflect the new data...just thought you'd like to know. Have a good day.--MONGO 16:25, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks again and thank you for work on keeping those wacko 9/11 conspiracy theorists out.
I notice you have contributed some rather nice photographs of Georgia. There is a particular statue there that Wikipedia lacks a free use photograph of: the original Spirit of the American Doughboy is in Nashville, Georgia, facing East on the Northwest corner of Berrien County Courthouse Square – near the intersection of Marion Avenue and Davis Street, and can be seen on this page. A free photograph would be wonderful, if you ever happen to head out that way, although I know it's not your main editing area on the 'pedia! As for 9/11, keep persevering...

Thank you for your speedy action with the repeated vandalism of the Oklahoma City bombing article!! --Kralizec! (talk) 01:54, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
I like where this redesign is headed. Though, in the newsbrowsebar, there needs to be a link back to the main current events page. That way, the newsbrowsebar can be used on Current events in the United States, and one can easily get back to the main Current events page. -Aude (talk contribs) 20:32, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I think I finished the last article on the major glaciers to be found in Banff with Saskatchewan Glacier. I wish I could find more recent information about the retreat of these glaciers than I have, but at least the glaciers are now done. I may add more to that section in the article as far as the issue of glacier retreat, but have held back due to the lack of more current info.--MONGO 08:38, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your help with the FBI article. Just wanted to let you know that. In any case, I am very much into the FBI so I am going to start working on most of the FBI related articles. Since you seem to be interesed in most of them I thought, and you have no obligation of course, that you wouldn't mind starting up a FBI Wikipedia Project, if you thought there was enough information out there. That is the only problem I see. In any case, I am working on FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives design right now and I just wanted to see if you could talk a look at the idea. Thanks.. --Shane (T - C - E) 19:19, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I just started Wikipedia:WikiProject Glaciers and it has a ways to go. I am still working on Banff NP as well, so you know, just thought I would get the ball rolling on this project, which sat in my user subpages for several months. There is a lot of work to be done yet, but if you're interested, help out. No obligations of course.--MONGO 15:28, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I think you're real close with the Banff article. I left a note on the talk page about areas I thought still needed work. I have stepped back to let you take over as I want you to be able to show yourself as the major contributor to getting it to FA. I don't know if you have a featured article, but this one should be yours.--MONGO 05:41, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Tthe Medicine portal does not include eyes or feature Ophthalmology as a speciality! That is indeed strange considering that Ophthalmology encompasses a tremendous amount of medicine, besides surgical procedures. Eye complaints and their management is a very common medically managed issue. Being an eye specialist, I feel that it deserves inclusion in the portal and envisage a much wider role for portal as a whole for physicians and surgeons. Excluding other surgical specialities also is, IMO, not desirable. Could you kindly take steps to ensure such an inclusion. EyeMD 14:55, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

GoldToeMarionette (talk · contribs) had a WP:RFCU inappropriately completed on their account by Jayjg (talk · contribs) and Hall Monitor (talk · contribs) blocked the account after it was identified as a multiple account despite their being no violation of Wikipedia policy by GoldToeMarionette. These users did not respond to requests to undo the action.
Other steps in dispute resolution have been tried
GoldToeMarionette notified article contributors that illustrative examples were subject to an AfD. The account strictly followed the WP:SPAM#Internal_spamming guideline. The AfD was without controversy. GoldToeMarionette did not participate in the vote. HereToCleanup removed the posts following the AfD in accord with the widely accepted Wikipedia Guideline Wikipedia:Spam#Internal_spamming that states "Clean up your mess. For example, after engaging in cross-posting to promote some election, be sure to remove those cross-posts after the election is complete." [10]
Since GoldToeMarionette was strictly following Wikipedia Policy, there should not have been a Check User completed by Jayjg. Hall Monitor only blocked the account because it was labeled as a sockpuppet by Jayjg's completed Check User. Absent policy violation it should not have been processed in RFCU or been blocked. I am asking for your help to confirm that policy was not violated, administrative action should not have been taken, and request that the administrative action be reversed by unblocking GoldToeMarionette and unprotecting the talk page. Thank you for your time with this request. RealTime 02:07, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

It's nice to see someone else doing patrol on the links in the article. More eyes are always welcome.
I did want to give one suggestion. When I'm doing the patrol, I tend to follow a personal 1RR rule on the links. No one single link is the problem, it's the accumulation of them that begins when they are not cleared that is the problem. So there's not much to be gained by edit warring over a single link. If I see a new, undiscussed one, I'll remove it. If it is put back in, I will not remove it again until the next day. But come the next day, I will definitely remove it again. And in the mean time, I would be trying to get the link-pusher to come to the talk page to discuss why their link should stay. - TexasAndroid 17:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi. The article count could still be listed but the wording changed to. Wikipedia is current;y working on 1,337,456 articles in English. This way it gives people an incentive to join it and improve it and acknowledging that despite so many articles it is not perfect. To say that we should stop expanding it is absolute rubbish. I strongly beleive that yes our priority should be to improve existing articles but do you realise how many very important articles are currently missing from the project? 81.102.25.233 20:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much for participating in my RFA, which closed successfully today with a result of (62/18/3). I will go very carefully at first, trying to make sure I don't mess up too badly using the tools, and will begin by re-reading all the high-quality feedback I received during the process, not least from those who opposed me.

Hello, I saw that you were the first person to put your name down as a participant and I was woundering whether your still interested. Geography on wiki is quite bad at the moment as you know and your help would be appreciated. I've asked a few geographers here if they would be interested and hopefully the project should start to grow. AlexD 11:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
That's fantatsic, I understand the time constraints and so we'll have to take a long term approach to geography but hopefully we'll get enough interest so a larger number of people can help. I'm going to give it until next week for people to get back and say whether they are interested and then start with an article every two weeks or less. AlexD 15:20, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Good...I'll help copyedit if you need...but the article is almost entirely your work. It will probably be at FAC for a few weeks, so good luck to you.--MONGO 04:50, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi!
my name is Meutia Chaerani from Singapore. I volunteered helped out in the Urbepedia at Urbepedia. It is a newly set up wiki focusing on Urban issues, and currently needing more contributors. I'd like to invite your participation in the wiki. Also need to brainstorm more on how the Urbepedia can be different yet complementing to information already existing in Wikipedia.
At this stage, i'm thinking that Urbepedia would be more detailed and more technical, and also acts as repository of best urban practices from around the world, as well as repository of contact information of urban experts. Whereas wikipedia is aimed for a broader audience, the article should be easy to grasp to different kind of people, from kids to adults. In that sense, urbepedia is different from wikipedia, but of course, we can link both wikipedia and urbepedia together in the article page.
We hope that you'd be interested to get involved.
Regards, Chaerani 02:53, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to say clearly how I have no wish or intention to throw missing planes at anyone… there is no rush whatsoever… However, please understand that I honestly wonder why the fact that US president justified War in Iraq with 911 events doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in source article in The War on Terrorism or Domestic Response subsections? Please answer… I'm waiting for valid answers about that particular issue for some time… for it seems fairly important from my perspective… and then instead of weighting such heavy issue, there is this silence, and misunderstanding, and poor wording and all that… perhaps you should take a look from that "don’t bite the newcomers perspective:)… -- Lovelight 02:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Aude,
Thanks for the welcome - again. I thought I'd start with the Attacks section (I'm leaving the intro alone since that's a very touchy section) and edit my way down.
Should I should go to the September 11 attacks timeline of the attacks page and discuss changing the title there or is that something to discuss on the main page?--PTR 17:03, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't have access to edit the page (haven't been registered long enough) but someone has add some text to the article citing the source as the New York Times, August 13, 2006. The text is from a New York Times editorial. Editorial is not referenced in the paragraph and I thought it should be.--PTR 21:06, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
On the page of Galatasaray i saw a mistake but i cannot revert it becauce the page is under protection , in the Managerial area Yılmaz Gökdel was the manager in 1974-1975 season could you fix this? http://www.webaslan.com/kulup/antrenor.php this is the official site of Galatasaray here it says that Gokdel is coach for the 74-75 season :)

Hi. I was thinking we might resolve this by changing the sentence to read:
The United States government determined that al-Qaeda headed by Osama bin Laden bore responsibility for the attacks.
Might cut the whole thing off at the pass. Didn't want to mention it in the discussion page since... well... they might jump all over it to remove everything mentioning OBL being responsible. --PTR 14:33, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
