Talk:September 11, 2001 attacks/talk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
{{hangon}}This is a talk page about a semiprotected talk page about the semiprotected article September 11, 2001, and it is here because forbidding anons from COMMENTING about the 9/11 article or suggesting edits is a mistake. — Rickyrab | Talk 04:51, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- It is unbelievably sad that this is the only way to solicit anonymous input to the 9/11 attacks. The state of this article is a blight on the good name of Wikipedia. 65.94.178.115 05:39, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

- as the hangon tag makes pretty clear, the WP:CSD policy doesn't really belong to this page. Although I could imagine a talk page that for some reason might require speedy deletion, it's clear the designers of this never even imagined it could happen (hence the messed up {{hangon}} template). Whoever wants it gone should take it to AfD instead. The criteria for speedy deletion is very specific. I've removed the speedy delete template for now. The strange thing is that the talk page was even fully protected for a while. Though I can't find any anon edits that would justify that. Incidentally, the article itself has been protected most of the last 1 1/2 years. Again, I cannot really find many edits to justify any protection.. Obviously the sane thing to do would to unprotect the talk page and stop abusing the protect button.. I would post this on the talk page, but I just started this account. So I would definitely like to see this issue resolved. --NoPurities 08:24, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- The full protects apparently lasted only a few hours each time on the talk page, but the semiprotects are being abused on the talk page. I am currently in favor of: a) an unprotected talk page, and b) a semiprotected Main Article. Then I would favor deletion of this current page and merging with the main talk page - but only then, and I have yet to see an un-semiprotection. — Rickyrab | Talk 16:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
