The article I read claimed he was killed in the attacks, so when I used Wikipedia to look up this dude's background, I thought I might change it. I guess Yahoo! isn't always right.

Hello VegitaU,
I was just typed in the words "BMB Group" which is a clothes retailing company group in the UK and although it's not got a page I did have a message for me which I thought was strange as I've never ever had one on here. I opened it and got this:
"May 2008 Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to :Image:Google Earth.png. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to blocking of editing privileges. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. VegitaU (talk) 17:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)"
I've never in my life seen that image from Google Earth and so far I've made hardly any edits to anything on Wikipedia (ones I have done were political articles). Anyone else who has used the PC has never edited anything on Wikipedia so I'm just perplexed that I got a message that should be directed at someone else. Also congratulations on your military service to the USA, and to your helping Wikipedia it does you credit :) . Mr Frostie 82.20.6.101 ( talk) 23:20, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

I am disgusted by the way you talk to people who don't share the same opinion as you on the talk page of September 11th, 2001 attacks article.
I feel you have attempted to take dictatorial control of the article by demeaning anyone who puts forward a suggestion you disagree with.
It is in the spirit of Wikipedia to value all contributions to improving the encyclopedia; even if you may not agree with all of them.
You will probably scoff at this post and reply with a patronising and probably intimidating comment but if I was an administrator, you would be apologising.

Just to let you know the photo, Image:Wtc collapse.jpg, is not attributed correctly on Flickr. This is one of a series of photographs taken from an NYPD helicopter, thus the NYPD holds the copyright. I highly doubt ComerZhao, a Flickr user in China, took the photograph. I'm having trouble remembering where I originally found these pictures, in order to give you a link.

On the flight 77 page you reverted *all* of my edits citing David Ray Griffin as an unreliable source, yet my edits outside the Conspiracy section cited Goldberg et al. as a source.
Regarding DRG, reliable sources are:
credible published materials with a reliable publication process; their authors are generally regarded as trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand.
I only used DRG in the conspiracy section of the flight 77 article and he certainly is regarded as trustworthy in relation to conspiracy theories. Other DRG books are cited in the main 9/11 Conspiracy Theories page that is linked to in the flight 77 conspiracy section. Therefore, I'm undoing your revert. 97.104.226.129 ( talk) 04:17, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:JeremyDuncan.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

What I Do /
What I Say 19:05, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
My name is Sophia and I am a PhD student at University of Colorado in Boulder researching the use of social media for historically significant crises like the 9/11 attacks. I am interested in what kind of values and practices are emerging from these disasters especially with the use of ubiquitous technologies like blogs and social media sites like Wikipedia. I am contacting you because I noticed you are one of the top contributors of the September 11 attacks Wikipedia article. I was wondering if you would be open to answering some questions for my dissertation research on this topic. One example of a question I have is: You provided a considerable amount of edits to the September 11 attacks Wikipedia article. What kind of edits did you make? What story was being told before you edited the article and how does that differ from what is in Wikipedia now? Feel free to email me at Sophia.Liu@colorado.edu if you have any questions.

Where are the photos now? Are they lost forever? Those photographs were valuable, historic evidence that documented an incredibly dynamic environment that is home to critically endangered species such as the Kemp's ridley Sea Turtle and the Perdido Key beach mouse whose numbers were down to 40 individuals at one recent point. Had they not been deleted they would have been used to compare to current photos in order to document and understand how the sand dunes on this unique barrier island form and change over time.
Joey Eads ( talk) 15:55, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
According to the requirements on WP:IUP those photos should not have been deleted or even flagged/tagged. A reasonable effort was not made to alert me that they were going to be deleted although my email address is clearly visible on my talk page.
The photos were mine, I took them, I released them under license on Wikipedia first and for whatever use anyone wanted to use them for.
I do hope you understand / Those photographs were valuable, historic evidence that documented an incredibly dynamic environment that is home to critically endangered species such as the Kemp's ridley Sea Turtle and the Perdido Key beach mouse whose numbers were down to 40 individuals at one recent point in history.

Since you are clearly in error regarding this matter there will no doubt be other instances where your overzealous edits have caused irreparable damage to Wikipedia.

Hi VegitaU, you're right in that {{Non-free historic image}} is out of place, sorry. The image is from Google Earth today. Port Stanley Airport was bombed during the Falklands War as explained in the article. There is a controversy whether the bombs from the second attack exploded or not. Unless some Wikipedian builds a satellite, it can't be replaced by non-copyright images. Images of a single bomb crater doesn't convey the general view. I've replaced the "Licensing" with {{Non-free fair use in|Port Stanley Airport}}.

American Airlines Flight 11 was American Airlines' morning, daily scheduled transcontinental flight, from Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts to Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California. On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, the aircraft flying this route—a Boeing 767-223ER—was hijacked by five al-Qaeda terrorists, and deliberately crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City, as part of the September 11 attacks. Fifteen minutes into the flight, the hijackers forcibly breached the cockpit, and overpowered the pilot and first officer. Mohamed Atta, an al-Qaeda member and trained pilot, took over the controls. Air traffic controllers noticed the flight was in distress when the crew stopped responding to them. They realized the flight had been hijacked when Atta mistakenly transmitted announcements for passengers to air traffic control. On board, Amy Sweeney and Betty Ong contacted American Airlines, and provided information about the hijackers and injuries to passengers and crew. The aircraft crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 08:46 local time; the impact killed all 92 people aboard. Many people in the streets witnessed the collision, and the Naudet brothers captured the impact on video, as did Pavel Hlava, along with Fox 8 news reporter Mark Burnback. The impact and subsequent fire caused the North Tower to collapse, which resulted in thousands of additional casualties. During the recovery effort at the World Trade Center site, workers recovered and identified dozens of remains from Flight 11 victims, but many other body fragments could not be identified. ( more...)

If you have a reliable source that supports a different location, please add that information and let readers see "what we know". DMacks ( talk) 03:17, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

I am starting to consider you posting unwelcome messages on my talk page to be harassment, if this continues I will report it to ANI and request that you are blocked from editing.

I noticed this at American Airlines Flight 77 [1]
Isn't it a service to the reader to show an image of the aircraft or a similar build of the aircraft involved in the incident? An image of an AA 757 in an article about Flight 77 is not a "pointless" image. WhisperToMe ( talk) 08:10, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
What's Google's rationale for this? HistoryLink,org pages often contain bits of history nobody else covers, and in scanning this article I do not see what is offensive about it. Google is not the arbiter of moral judgements on content, if tha'ts waht this is about. Please explain. Skookum1 ( talk) 03:07, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

On the flight 77 page you reverted *all* of my edits citing David Ray Griffin as an unreliable source, yet my edits outside the Conspiracy section cited Goldberg et al. as a source.
Regarding DRG, reliable sources are:
credible published materials with a reliable publication process; their authors are generally regarded as trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand.
I only used DRG in the conspiracy section of the flight 77 article and he certainly is regarded as trustworthy in relation to conspiracy theories. Other DRG books are cited in the main 9/11 Conspiracy Theories page that is linked to in the flight 77 conspiracy section. Therefore, I'm undoing your revert. 97.104.226.129 ( talk) 04:17, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:JeremyDuncan.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk) 02:21, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I went ahead and restored
Bubsty's revision on that article. If the veteran pictured is 86, that puts him being born in 1924 as of 2010, right? And
World War I ended, like, in 1918 or so; therefore, unless he was fighting Germans as a

What I Do /
What I Say 19:05, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
My name is Sophia and I am a PhD student at University of Colorado in Boulder researching the use of social media for historically significant crises like the 9/11 attacks. I am interested in what kind of values and practices are emerging from these disasters especially with the use of ubiquitous technologies like blogs and social media sites like Wikipedia. I am contacting you because I noticed you are one of the top contributors of the September 11 attacks Wikipedia article. I was wondering if you would be open to answering some questions for my dissertation research on this topic. One example of a question I have is: You provided a considerable amount of edits to the September 11 attacks Wikipedia article. What kind of edits did you make? What story was being told before you edited the article and how does that differ from what is in Wikipedia now? Feel free to email me at Sophia.Liu@colorado.edu if you have any questions.

Where are the photos now? Are they lost forever? Those photographs were valuable, historic evidence that documented an incredibly dynamic environment that is home to critically endangered species such as the Kemp's ridley Sea Turtle and the Perdido Key beach mouse whose numbers were down to 40 individuals at one recent point. Had they not been deleted they would have been used to compare to current photos in order to document and understand how the sand dunes on this unique barrier island form and change over time.
Joey Eads ( talk) 15:55, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
According to the requirements on WP:IUP those photos should not have been deleted or even flagged/tagged. A reasonable effort was not made to alert me that they were going to be deleted although my email address is clearly visible on my talk page.
The photos were mine, I took them, I released them under license on Wikipedia first and for whatever use anyone wanted to use them for.
I do hope you understand / Those photographs were valuable, historic evidence that documented an incredibly dynamic environment that is home to critically endangered species such as the Kemp's ridley Sea Turtle and the Perdido Key beach mouse whose numbers were down to 40 individuals at one recent point in history. Had they not been deleted they would have been used to compare to current photos in order to document and understand how the sand dunes on this unique barrier island form and change over time, how the dunes are used and effected by native species and humans and how we can better protect these CRITICALLY ENDANGERED SPECIES.
Since you are clearly in error regarding this matter there will no doubt be other instances where your overzealous edits have caused irreparable damage to Wikipedia.
We can also reasonable assume that because of your actions at least one animal will die prematurely because you have destroyed scientific evidence that would have been used to conserve this natural resource. I sincerely hope that you have learned a valuable lesson, I can assure you that I have.

On deadline, my fingers aren't typing correctly! I should know how to spell "Washington" and "Earthquake"! -- david montgomery, the washington post, 202-334-7224
Hi VegitaU, you're right in that {{Non-free historic image}} is out of place, sorry. The image is from Google Earth today. Port Stanley Airport was bombed during the Falklands War as explained in the article. There is a controversy whether the bombs from the second attack exploded or not. Unless some Wikipedian builds a satellite, it can't be replaced by non-copyright images. Images of a single bomb crater doesn't convey the general view. I've replaced the "Licensing" with {{Non-free fair use in|Port Stanley Airport}}. The image isn't just a map from an atlas, to illustrate the area depicted. --Regards, Necessary Evil ( talk) 15:47, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on September 11, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/September 11, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article directors Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

American Airlines Flight 11 was American Airlines' morning, daily scheduled transcontinental flight, from Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts to Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California. On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, the aircraft flying this route—a Boeing 767-223ER—was hijacked by five al-Qaeda terrorists, and deliberately crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City, as part of the September 11 attacks. Fifteen minutes into the flight, the hijackers forcibly breached the cockpit, and overpowered the pilot and first officer. Mohamed Atta, an al-Qaeda member and trained pilot, took over the controls. Air traffic controllers noticed the flight was in distress when the crew stopped responding to them. They realized the flight had been hijacked when Atta mistakenly transmitted announcements for passengers to air traffic control. On board, Amy Sweeney and Betty Ong contacted American Airlines, and provided information about the hijackers and injuries to passengers and crew. The aircraft crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 08:46 local time; the impact killed all 92 people aboard. Many people in the streets witnessed the collision, and the Naudet brothers captured the impact on video, as did Pavel Hlava, along with Fox 8 news reporter Mark Burnback. The impact and subsequent fire caused the North Tower to collapse, which resulted in thousands of additional casualties. During the recovery effort at the World Trade Center site, workers recovered and identified dozens of remains from Flight 11 victims, but many other body fragments could not be identified. ( more...)

Thank you for respecting the legal owners rights and not the perpetrators. His cited sources are his own manufactured sources and not fact at all that he has posted elsewhere on the web and not factual. Anyone can post mis-information themselves and then refer to it as fact. I suggest you allow official correct information to stand on our page as it did before WGS edited the page in back in December. Thank you.
Thank you for deleting this post in new section. I will contact Wikipedia help. I can't edit my own posts?
