[edit] Building of the World Trade Center

The Original Barnstar
What a fantastic article at Building of the World Trade Center! — Rebelguys2 talk 02:22, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I just came here to agree, Building of the World Trade Center is a stellar example of a Featured Article...and it's incredibly well-referenced and illustrated...many congratulations. Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 06:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the honor. Hopefully in due time, we can get the rest of the WTC articles organized and fully referenced. --Aude (talk) 21:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/September 11 conspiracy theories

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. Further to this, any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, "impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict (defined as articles which relate to the events of September 11, broadly interpreted) if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process." The full remedy is located here.

[edit] Popcorn

Popcornmaker
Popcornmaker

Hear, hear! Little Aude hit nail on head! What is Wikipedia about? [1] Have very own popcornmaker! Scoot over on couch, watch the show, share popcorn with 'zilla and little 'shonen (don't give ArbCom any). bishzilla ROARR!! 23:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC).

Mmmmm popcorn. Thanks! --Aude (talk) 12:33, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Significant changes from previously estabilished versions need to be discussed before being applyed

Hi Aude. As far as I know this kind of behaviour has never been accepted in the 9/11 pages: any significant change from estabilished versions must be discussed before being applied in order to check wheter there is consensus, and discussions should not be made by means of edit summaries, they must be made in the talk page. Don't you agree?--Pokipsy76 (talk) 16:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] POV pushing?

Dear Aude, In a 2008 arbitration case administrators were given the power to impose discretionary sanctions on any user working on articles concerning the September 11, 2001 attacks. If you engage in further inappropriate behaviour in this area, you may be placed under sanctions including blocks, a revert limitation or an article ban. Thank you.  — Xiutwel ♫☺♥♪ (speech has the power to bind the absolute) 19:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your actions have been noticed

My apologies, but your latest violations forced me to seek the remedy for your unacceptable behavior and disregard to the community, you may find it at the Administrators' noticeboard. Tachyonbursts (talk) 00:26, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please consider joining the working group for the WMF DC Chapter

Please consider joining the working group for the WMF DC chapter. Since we have a very active and very community oriented DC/MD/VA area group of Wikipedians, it only makes sense to develop it as a chapter, especially given the recent changes to the Board of Trustees structure, giving chapters more of a vote. Hopefully we will be either the first or the second officially recognized US Chapter (WMF Pennsylvania is pending as well), and hopefully our efforts will benefit WMF Penn as well. Remember, it's a working group, and this is a wiki, so feel free to offer changes, make bold changes to the group, and discuss on the talk page! I hope to see you there, as well as Wikimeetup DC 4 if you're attending. ⇒SWATJester Son of the Defender 16:48, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia meetup

As someone who may live or work near Washington D.C., you may be interested - if you've not heard already - about the meetup scheduled for Saturday, May 17th, at Union Station. For details, please see Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 4.

[edit] FA

Aude, first, let me thank you for your dedication to 9/11 articles and efforts to edit.

Second, I'm planning to put Flight 11 up for Featured Article status tonight. I just wanted your input on that. As an admin and editor of the article, how do you feel about the article's status? -- VegitaU (talk) 04:01, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Alrighty. I've activated my email address. -- VegitaU (talk) 22:07, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't want to start a new section, but I wanted your input on something. With Wikipedia being such a visible source, we can really make a statement with what we display. There are pictures of bodies found at the Pentagon found here and posting these could really open people's eyes. Especially those who say there were no bodies seen at the Pentagon. What do you think? Should we post these? -- VegitaU (talk) 15:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I realize that Wikipedia is not censored, but think maybe we should exercise some caution. I think pictures of debris would be better. For example, this picture shows a piece of debris that very clearly came from an American Airlines aircraft. That picture is in the public domain and usable here. There are plenty of other debris pictures and other photos that would be good. --Aude (talk) 18:28, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copy edit

I made a first pass on AA11. I have not touched the crash or aftermath sections yet. Will get to those later this afternoon. --PTR (talk) 16:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Completed first pass copy edit. --PTR (talk) 21:44, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
It's looking good with the new lead and all the work by User:Finetooth. Good luck on the FA. --PTR (talk) 12:09, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Peter Wall

Perhaps you missed the part where the editor removed the CSD tag. Which, as you of course know, is blockable if the editor persists. He removed it twice and I warned him appropriately. Have a nice day. Bstone (talk) 14:45, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

He removed it because the CSD tagging was inappropriate. Such templated warnings are also highly inappropriate to use against established users. Please don't do that again. --Aude (talk) 14:47, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
The only inappropriate thing was this editor removing a legit CSD tag. He has been appropriately warned, per policy. From WP:CSD, "Any editor who is not the creator of a page may remove a speedy tag from it. The creator may not do this. A creator who disagrees with the speedy deletion should instead add [[hangon}} to the page, and explain the rationale on the page's discussion page." Thank you for your concern. I consider this the sum of our conversation. Bstone (talk) 14:54, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
What you quote is worded with terms like "may" and "should" and says nothing about blocking. Please use common sense. Such quick tagging (and retagging) of articles without giving editors a chance is the type of action that discourages good editors and can drive them away from the project. Ditto for using templated warnings. User:Jbmurray and User:Geo Swan are two of our best editors. Regards. --Aude (talk) 15:02, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peter Wall

Hi. I tried to respond to your comments at FAC. There are now more wikilinks and the lead has been quite radically revised, in a way that is intended to set off better the article's emphases and strengths. And further thoughts you had would be most appreciated. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 08:00, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I will take a look over the weekend. I think the article has improved alot, but will see if I can offer any more suggestions. --Aude (talk) 18:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bot approved: dabbing help needed

Hi there. Fritz bot has been approved at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/FritzpollBot for filling in a possible 1.8 million articles on settlements across the world. Now dabbing needs to be done for links which aren't sorted as the bot will bypass any blue links. and I need as many people as possible to help me with Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Places to prepare for the bot. If you could tackle a page or two everything counts as it will be hard to do it alone. Thankyou ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 12:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
