[edit] September 11

Why don't you cool it and do some sourced research instead of original research. The error is in the table; there were 7 crew + 33 passengers + 4 hijackers = 44 fatalities on flight 93 [1]. 265 is the correct figure. Also note that the intro stats "at least" 2986; the number killed at WTC fluctuates as the medical examiner tosses out cases that were suspicious or fraudulent. --Mmx1 02:32, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

I was merely reacting to your snide comments on Tom Harrison's page. As I indicated, the error was not in the 265 figure, but in the table, which listed an extra passenger for Flight 93. Original research is a wikipedia term for stuff that isn't cited. I.e. seeing that the numbers don't add up right and deciding on your own which one is wrong. As it turned out, the total of 265 was correct; and I provided you a link above to a news article which lists 44 fatalities for Flight 93, not 45 as stated in the table; the internal Wiki article also states there were 44 fatalities on the flight. No need to get all defensive; thanks for bringing the error to our attention, but please try to verify facts with published sources before changing them. Original Research is subject to errors like the one you made. --Mmx1 00:27, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad we could come to an understanding. The table right now still has the 2986 figure, but the numbers fluctuated as the medical examiner ruled out false and fraudulent claims. There was an article in this week in New York Magazine which gives a figure of 2749, from 2004 ([2]), but unfortunately the article is unclear what fatalities the figure covers (towers? towers + planes? towers + planes +pentagon?). Feel free to bring it up in the talk for the 9/11 page. --Mmx1 01:06, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GW Law Pictures

Ah crap, who changed the rule about pictures on wikipedia? I guess express permission isn't good enough. I will write the director of communications and see if she'll grant a broader license to use the pics. Thanks for your support. -Taco325i 00:40, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
