ConWebWatch deemed inclusionable by Wikipedia's lawyer

From what I can figure out, in the middle of '06, Newsmax's lawyers threatened to sue Wikipedia over the article on them. Too much truth (IMHO). In response, Wiki's lawyer, User:BradPatrick, posted a sample article reading like an PR Release for Newsmax. (probably written by Newsmax and mandated by them to avoid a lawsuit) Even this article included ConWebWatch, and the very fact that the Wikipedia 'office' posted a protected 'alternate' article with the ConWebWatch link included renders this source as RS + V. I look forward to documenting WND and Joe Farah's central roles in propogating and spreading the debunked 'Clinton Body Count' and 'Vince Foster Murder' Conspiracy Theories.

OK, I'm going to stop arguing this point and my others. I think I'll always be outvoted anyways. (If someone else wants to bring them up, I'll back you up. Perhaps questions will be raised after it is nominated as a good article.) Anyways, those sections do need rewritten a little, citations standardized, &c. Kc8ukw 01:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

WND aslo reported someone being shot on Flight 93 i post some other problems with their reporting here...

http://911review.org/brad.com/sept11_cell-phones/illinois_flight-93.html

including a post saying a cell phone call from flight 93 was recieved in Illinois by 911 emergency operators.

This could not be true since a cell phone call would go to the local police (in Pa), even if cell phone call were possible at 35,000ft.

engineer says cell phones not possible from 35,000 ft Sept 11

Another problem was the report of someone being shot on Flight 93 to cover themselves (apparently) they posted followup articles the list of articles is here...

Hijacker shot passenger on Flight 11: FAA memo

WorldNetDaily: FAA covering up 9-11 gun, whistleblower agent says

WorldNetDaily: Did FAA get Flight 11 gun story from FBI?

[http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=26732 FAA official claims gun memo not draft]

other posts i find at least contraversial are... WorldNetDaily: Saddam's WMD have been found

Al-Qaida warns Muslims: Time to get out of U.S.

since i am not comfortable posting changes in this Wiki, if someone wants, they can post this on the WND page

ConWebWatch

I've removed most of the sections about articles that deal with ConWebWatch for two reasons 1) despite the earlier incident with NewsMax, I am not convinced that ConWebWatch is in general a reliable source. 2) If something is only discussed by ConWebWatch I am not convinced that it is necessarily notable enough to be worth including here.

You know I agree with you. (Check the archives here if you want the discussion.) Kc8ukw 07:01, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
