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)

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.

September 11 attacks

Dear Aude,

I visited your talkpage to discuss about our 9/11 article. I'm so disappointed after reading this. Tendentious editors are not easy dealt with, but if sane people like you leave WP, most of our articles will be ruined by idiots. You are certainly one of the best WP editors. We have to bring 9/11 article to FA someday. Please don't leave WP. Best wishes, AdjustShift (talk) 21:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Don't think I'll leave, but I'm not interested in devoting a lot of time here right now. --Aude (talk) 13:14, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Signpost: REVISIONUSER

You wrote a Signpost article that included this new magic word, but it doesn't appear to have been enabled yet. Do you know when we can use it and if it could potentially be used in templates to display the last user who edited an article on another page? - Mgm|^(talk) 11:00, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure when the magic word will be enabled. It will happen whenever developers update Wikipedia and other wiki sites with the very latest version of MediaWiki. I think that will be soon, but don't know exactly when. --Aude (talk) 12:38, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Twinkle

Hello,

I recently set up my account with Twinkle. My account is fairly old and I have many many edits to my name. When I want to use the Twinkle application I still get a message saying my account is to new to use Twinkle. I was wondering if you know what I can do to fix this. Thanks!--gordonrox24 (talk) 17:41, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

I have never used Twinkle, so not sure I can help. Try asking at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle or at Wikipedia:Village pump/Technical. --Aude (talk) 21:40, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey Aude, just thought you might like to know that another user is attempting to get yet another mediation case going on the Sept 11th article. Normally I'd let it alone and not bother you, but since you were named outright, I thought you should know.

Dubious

I recently made some minor edits to the article on Mohamed Atta. While doing so I came across a template I had never noticed before, the {{dubious}} template.

I left a note on Talk:Mohamed_Atta#Dubious, where I noted that who-ever placed these templates did not comply with the guidelines direction that they should first explain the concern that prompted the tag on the article's talk page.

It took me a long time to figure out who had placed these templates. The edit summaries were no help, as they didn't state who added these tags in any of your edit summaries. If I am not mistaken It was you -- you placed these tags.

I tried to keep my note on the article's talk page non-confrontational. I didn't name you as the person who left the tags. And I wrote that the guideline might not have been so clear on the responsibilities of the tag placer eight months ago, when the tags were first placed.

Since writing that I checked the revision history of Wikipedia:Disputed statement. It seems to have had only trivial modifications during the last eight months.

Have you made heavy use of the {{dubious}} template? If so, did you add explanations to the article's talk pages in the other instances you used it?

If you decide that the simplest way to bring your use of this template into compliance with the guideline is to simply excise all the instances where you used it, and didn't explain yourself, I am prepared to help. Geo Swan (talk) 11:35, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

I am mostly on a wikibreak now, but at some point plan to spend more time on the Mohamed Atta article and get it to featured article standards. It's indeed taking a long while for me to get back to working on the article, and not sure when I'll have the time to do so. The article is fairly close, though there are some unsourced passages and there are sections where the sources (and statements) need checking and replacement with more reliable sources. Those sources marked as "dubious" are such sources that are questionable. What I could do for now is replace the tags with hidden inline comments that are only visible when in edit mode.

As for leaving a note on the talk page, that's just a guideline. Where it's been mostly just me working on an article, as has been the case with the Mohamed Atta article, I sometimes don't bother with notes on the talk page. But, more than willing to respond if someone does ask on the talk page. --Aude (talk) 00:44, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Al-Qaeda involvement in Asia

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Al-Qaeda involvement in Asia, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

No sources, no useful content (most of previous content removed in Dec 2008.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Regarding the next Washington D.C. meetup.....

I was wondering if there had been any discussion as to whether or not to hold it in May (Or maybe June?). Since you were the one who announced that the pizzeria had been reserved, I am assuming that you might be aware of any conversations that are taking place in that regard.

Wishing you well,
--NBahn (talk) 08:51, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

I think we will hold the next meetup in early June. In May, I think people are busy with university exams, Memorial Day, Mother's Day, etc. Watch the Wikipedia talk:Meetup/DC 7 for updates. --Aude (talk) 23:32, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

What should I do before I re-nominate Gulfton, Houston for featured article?

Since the first FA nomination I re-took several pictures. Is there anything else I should do before re-nominating it for featured article status? WhisperToMe (talk) 19:30, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't have time right now to do a full review, but do suggest the education section is too long with too many subsections. Think of the article from the perspective of a reader who comes from some place in a totally different part of the U.S., or even another country. Try summarizing more the key points about education, and take out overly specific details like the address of Academy of Accelerated Learning charter school. (unless there is something really important and you put it into context)

I also suggest another peer review. To encourage participation in the peer review, find out who else edits Texas-related articles (e.g. User:Karanacs) or geography/city-type articles (e.g. User:Derek.cashman) and specifically ask if they would do peer review. Also, the article can use copyediting to polish the prose, since that's one thing that's heavily scrutinized at FAC. --Aude (talk) 02:17, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

I took out the addresses and I took out some things that seemed overly specific. I would like to put the article in a list for a copyedit. I'm not sure if there is a copyedit request somewhere... BTW Derek Cashman was the guy who did the GA review that the article ultimately passed after I used his critiques. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:01, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

See if User:Karanacs would be willing to review the article and provide feedback. She is a regular FAC reviewer and writes about Texas-related topics. I can't say for sure that she would be willing to help, but certainly worth asking. --Aude (talk) 11:12, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Geonotice for DC meetup

You might want to put in a Wikipedia:Geonotice for the upcoming DC meetup. The tool is governed by MediaWiki:Geonotice.js, and given that you're a programmer you would probably understand the coding much better than me anyway, and can set it to cover whatever region you prefer.

The "original research" can easily be replaced with proper citations (try Google), along with citations added throughout the rest of the article. Google works pretty well for many of the needed references, though I have been using my LexisNexis account to find better references. I was going to spend a few minutes doing that, but my LexisNexis account is no longer valid. :( So, it will have to wait until I have a chance to go to the university library. --Aude (talk) 16:59, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Tatatabot @ ar.Wikitravel

Hello Aude,

I'm a user of Wikitravel Japanese version. Also I'm a user of ja.wp and osm. Sorry for writing things about Wikitravel.

I'm operating a bot for maintaining interlanguage links on half of Wikitravel language versions, and I'd like to contribute with the bot to remains including Arabic version and Wikitravel shared. So I applied for bot flags at script nominations on shared. I would appreciate it if you support me in bot flags of shared and the remaining 9 language versions, and if you flip a bot flag for wikitravel:ar:مستخدم:Tatatabot. Can you take a look at wikitravel:shared:Script nominations#Tatatabot? Thank you in advance. -- Tatata (talk) 02:07, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Signpost: Bots

I was hoping you might be able to advise, vis-a-vis everything really. I must I'm a bit lost now and don't really know what to do. Evidently, the layout presented last week (or rather, the content included) was not very good. I really didn't want to cause disagreement, and I'm eager to get it right this week. You mentioned something bot-related might be better placed in the technology report, so here I am, happy to learn from my mistakes. - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 17:13, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

I think the format would work for the technology report. Go ahead add whatever you have to the technology report draft page, and we can tweak if if necessary. I probably won't get around to adding anything myself, until sometime tomorrow.
