"Flew" vs "which crashed"

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


@Беарофчечьня:, I have reverted your change. The version you are changing to makes the sentence more clumsy. It doesn't need to be called out as the first impact, because this is the first impact we're describing in the article. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 20:25, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article was good as it was with "The first impact was that of..." because it clarifies the first attack. Also, "flew" is mentioned just two sentences afterward at: "American Airlines Flight 77 flew towards". That is why something different should be written in the first attack and I prefer the former version. Беарофчечьня (talk) 16:53, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Again, we don't need to clarify that it was the first attack. It's the first one we're describing, it's right there. Plus "The first impact was that of... is just clumsy English.
If you can convince a consensus of people here that specifying it was the first impact matters, I'd go with:
Ringleader Mohamed Atta flew American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan at 8:46 am, making it the first plane to impact a building.The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 16:38, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It seems we won't reach an agreement here, and that's cool. I guess it's best to let others chime in. Беарофчечьня (talk) 21:00, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Protection status

As we approach September and the 23rd anniversary of 9/11, I would like to begin the discussion of protecting this page through the month of September 2024. What I've noticed in recent weeks is a lot of edits that propagate conspiracy theories. Please discuss below this message. Butterscotch5 (talk) 23:59, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We don't typically enact protection ahead of time. Some years barely anything happens, others we need protection. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 11:42, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen a small uptick, but nothing concerning, and we deal with it if we need to. The past few years haven't amounted to much. Acroterion (talk) 12:02, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hijackers vs terrorists

@epicgenius you reverted my edit which I made as per MOS:TERRORISM. The reason you cited for the revert is that “it is very well documented that al-Qaeda is a terrorist group”. I agree with that, however, according to the MOS even in cases where such a label is widely used by reliable sources it should be used with in-text attribution. aps (talk) 15:27, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The lede isn't the place for in-text attribution of that kind, where it would be awkward, wordy and unnecessarily hedged. The lede is a summary, and this isn't a remotely ambiguous event of the kind that the MoS contemplates. Acroterion (talk) 16:59, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
THis is an issue of a technical violation, but I am unsure its all that contentious. Slatersteven (talk) 17:01, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My personal opinion is that 9/11 (and many other events) was terrorism. And I doubt that anyone would in good faith argue that it wasn’t. However, we don’t use this metric to describe other events (see for example [2]) and using it here makes Wikipedia appear biased since, effectively, editors of individual pages determine what is and isn’t deserving of compliance with MOS:TERRORISM. aps (talk) 18:12, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There does seem to be a double standard here Omagh bombing. Slatersteven (talk) 17:49, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My edit [3] changed the wording to avoid the awkwardness of in-text attribution.
Regarding the MoS, is there precedent that some events are considered not remotely ambiguous of the kind that the MoS contemplates and as such appropriate to be described with (relatively) loaded terms? aps (talk) 18:04, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Simply put, the attribution is in the article itself, see WP:LEDE. The only reason you sometimes see cites in the lede is because people were fighting over the wording constantly, so editors grudgingly included cites there just to make them stop it. The lede itself is supposed to just summarize the cited information contained in the article. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 17:17, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article propagates an official lie

Settling the "Islamist" debate once and for all

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


Would it really be so bad if the article merely addressed this controversy, without picking a side? It's clearly a contentious issue among editors and unless something is done, it's just going to be a recurring issue on this talk page forever. I propose that yes, the word "Islamist" should be removed from the initial paragraph because it doesn't sufficiently contextualise the term, which is why it's considered stereotyping and offensive by some editors.

But to make up for it, a paragraph could be added explaining that Wikipedia editors are in disagreement over whether to call the attacks "Islamist", presenting a detailed overview of the pros and cons of each side. This will of course mention the main argument on the pro-Islamist faction, that being that reliable sources use the term. If anyone wants to workshop this idea into a full paragraph with me, that would be very helpful.

I'm not here to pick a side, I want to come up with a compromise that works for everyone. I'm personally neutral on this, but I hate to see edit warring and recurring talk topics raised on it. Put aside your personal investment in your "side" "winning" and lets have a proper discussion like adults. 94.196.3.224 (talk) 00:37, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where's there a debate? Do we have any sources for this? Moxy🍁 00:51, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Removing "Islamist" from the article has been edited into the article and reverted many times. Any time it has gone to the talk page it has been rejected with seemingly no progress on addressing the grievances of the multiple different editors who object to the phrasing of this article's opening paragraph. They usually say that it violates NPOV and perpetuates unfair stereotypes of Islam.
The editors changing it back assert that because reliable sources use the term "Islamist", it does not need qualification or justification in this article.
I'm hoping that some compromise between removing and not removing "Islamist" from the opening paragraph can be reached and editors can stop being so all-or-nothing about the issue. 94.196.3.224 (talk) 01:19, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I guess welcome back is in order...... but you are correct..... it has been removed a few times resulting in blocking of editors. You are free to present any source that there is a debate in this topic. Moxy🍁 01:31, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not referring to some debate off-wikipedia, I am talking about this article's talk page and its edit history. 94.196.3.224 (talk) 01:39, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We do not add paragraphs to an article just to outline a debate Wikipedia editors are having on the Talk page. Plus, the debate wrapped up months ago, you're dragging out something that died off because it didn't have support, aka WP:DROPTHESTICK. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 15:06, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We go by what RS say we are not wp:censored just to appease some people's feelings. Slatersteven (talk) 15:10, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-Removal Discussion: Dancing Israelis

Hi, I am the one who added the paragraph on the "dancing Israelis." I think it is highly relevant and it is indeed a real incident. I also included the two publicly-available screenshots of the FBI report on their arrest:


FBI report of flight itinerary of arrested Israelis on 9/11 suspected of being Mosaad agents.
FBI report released via FOI request that the Israelis detained on Sept 11th, 2001 were operating a fake moving company and a hijacker was believed to have used their services.

If anybody disagrees with this paragraph I added or its images, I'd like to make this space available for you ahead of time to present your opinions for discussion as I predict disagreement on the topic. ABC News still has a few articles up on the topic, e.g. [4] You can read the FBI report here: [5] Thanks! DivineReality (talk) 03:03, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ONUS is on you to make the case for inclusion, not the other way around. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:21, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:V and WP:OR. As Slatersteven says, we cannot include this until you have reliable sources which document it. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 14:55, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
