I deleted the following entry in the 'minor mistakes' section, since it was unclear/uncited:
- The gun carried by Bin Laden is repeatedly described as a "Kalikov" AK-74 instead of a " Kalashnikov"
I found several references online to Bin Laden carrying the AK-74, and to the this weapon being referred to as a "Kalikov" (Not a "Kalashnikov", which seems to refer specifically to the AK-47). If someone wants to put this back in as an error, then I think they need to cite their source.-- Cheakamus ( talk) 17:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
If someone is going to take the extraordinary step of asserting that a certain set of words appears in the Qur'an, at the very least the verse should be properly cited. The words "looming tower" do, not, to the best of anyone's knowledge, actually appear in the Qur'an. This is in fact an urban legend which has been debunked. If indeed they do, it should be properly cited and not thrown in there. It is outrageous to make the allegation that this passage was an inspiration for these attacks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Relmeligy ( talk • contribs) 23:45, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
The grammar in "about the title" is ridiculously awful. Does anyone know what a comma is anymore? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.119.168.96 ( talk) 14:05, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
The quality of the grammar in this article is horrendous. Also the Overview section lacks detail. Can someone revise this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.84.125.32 ( talk) 23:40, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
I tagged this article that the lead section as having extra information. See MOS:LEAD for purpose of the lead. It provides an accessible overview. Information in the lead should be in the body of the article too. See WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY. The statement that Wright is ... a journalist for The New Yorker ... only appears in the lead. - Cameron Dewe ( talk) 22:57, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
