[edit] Page name issue

Should the name of this page be 9/11 advance-knowledge debate instead of 9/11 advanced-knowledge debate, because we have an article entitled "Pearl Harbor advance-knowledge debate". Noah¢s (Talk) 03:45, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I created the page without the d, for precisely that reason, but it was quickly changed. Thinking about it, perhaps its better with the d, so maybe the Pearl Harbor article should be changed to match this one for consistency? Corleonebrother (talk) 18:32, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
I disagree - in conversational American English, "advance" is used to indicate one event preceding another in time: "advance warning," "cash in advance," etc. are standard, whereas "advanced-knowledge" appears to be a new coinage. It is also potentially confusing (to speakers of American English, anyway) as "advanced" is used to indicate an object's position in space or the progress of some process: "one car advanced ahead of another," "advanced colon cancer." I would suggest that the two articles should be called "Debate over advance knowledge of Pearl Harbor Attack" and "Debate over advance knowledge of 9/11 attacks." Or use the word 'foreknowledge.' Or actually add some content about the outlines of the debate, hopefully noting how quickly it devolves to juvenile mudslinging. Why aren't the Bushite trolls crawling all over this article, by the way? Maybe you guys tired them out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.161.122.104 (talk) 05:51, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
I was the editor that added the d to the name of the article, and now I'm thinking that was a mistake; the article should be renamed to 9/11 advance-knowledge debate. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 17:56, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sibel Edmonds??

The article has nothing about Sibel Edmonds and what she discovered! --Espoo (talk) 11:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I've added it to the article. Qworty (talk) 20:39, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Xinoehpoel

There's nothing in the article about Xinoehpoel who predicted the attacks on usenet. See http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D07E6DD173BF934A2575AC0A9679C8B63 Arnold1 (talk) 01:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "9/11 advance-knowledge hypotheses"?

This article doesn't cover the debate as much as the questions raised. A lot of the statements seem removed from any context and left completely open-ended. Some of the statements are also using dated sources (as early as Sept 12, 2001), which can be problematic since they tend to carry more speculation than research.-Wafulz (talk) 19:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
