Your 9/11 Bias

Your comments about the 9/11 Truth movement being a small and insignificant one are far from truth. If that were the case, then how does Loose Change garner more views in a day then your entire presence on wikipedia? A number of scientists are involved in the movement, including myself, and I take offense at your vitriol and your dismissal of any scientist involved in the movement. Some of us are not out to bash Bush or spread stories about UFOs, we are here to ask the tough questions that you seem to ignore.

Why did the US and UK have over 40K troops in standby on the day before 9/11 outside of Afghanistan? Why do the characteristics of the collapse of the 3 buildings that collapsed on 9/11 match those of a controlled demolition? Why are over 30% of the people of the US currently convinced that the US government played a key role in 9/11, and over 80% certain that the government is not telling the truth?

I am not looking to further a political agenda. Politics is anathema to me. All I want is a decent investigation into how my friends and family died on that day. It's not too much to ask, and if you were not so steeped in your personal agenda (or as I suspect, being paid to discredit the movement) you might actually look into the issue rather than poo-pooing everyone with a more informed perspective than yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.119.168 (talk) 22:31, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up to your 3RR complaint

Hi Joshua. Do you have a recommendation of what to do next in this 3RR case? The people you cited in the original complaint have stopped, but now there are some different bad editors. If any regular editors are working on this article, they can probably keep up with the level of inappropriate editing that remains there now. Unless you have another suggestion. I had suggested semi-protection but B is not sure it's needed.

By the way, hello from the NYC WP meeting; I enjoyed meeting you there. EdJohnston (talk) 21:17, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

I've seen you all over the place lately (even when I looked up Paul Weyrich just now and saw your comment on the talk page from 2006), so I just wanted to say hi and tell you to keep up the good work. :) --Alexc3 (talk) 15:26, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re : Conditional support of BLP AfD change

I didn't like the wording of the proposal on WT:BLP per se. I support, however the wording put forth by Doc on his essay to be the actual proposal. The former is too grey and misleading to achieve its intended purpose without causing collateral damage, while the latter is a lot better. Based on how deletion debates have gone in the past, I foresee several potential problems with the former wording without any additional qualifiers. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 14:13, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gary Parker

Hey JoshuaZ,

Any chance you know if Gary Parker of ICR/AIG ever had a WP article? If not, I propose to start one. Finding RS in this part of the world might be tricky. My interest has recently been piqued because of an email a friend forwarded to me from a guy who provided a hurrah-preview of Ben Stein's "EXPELLED". Turns out, that same friend has a video from Gary Parker. --Otheus (talk) 16:57, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

heads up.

Sock evidence

I'd appreciate a copy (I presume I'm in good standing?). I hope it goes without saying that I'd respect any confidentiality conditions you cared to place on the e-mail. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 18:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious as well. --B (talk) 13:15, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Living people

I notice you have transcluded User:Doc glasgow/BLP watch to your user space. Given that the page has been deleted, I instead created Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Living people. This works slightly differently, and should not be transcluded, but rather watched. But you all look to be old hands so I figure you'll get the hang of it. I hope you find it useful.

Lady Aleena's RfA

JoshuaZ...Thank you for supporting my nomination for adminship. Through it I have become aware of a great many people who can help me in my future editing endeavors. Even though I was not promoted, your support shows that I still have something to contribute to Wikipedia, even if it is minor edits to fix spelling and grammar to working in WikiProjects to help others make great articles. If you wish to further discuss the nomination, please use its talk page. Stop by my talk page anytime, even if it is just to say hello. Have a wonderful day! - LA @ 04:30, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
