Many of these questions arise frequently on the talk page concerning the September 11 attacks.
Q1: Is the article biased against conspiracy theories?
A1: Wikipedia is a mainstream encyclopedia so this article presents the accepted version of the events according to reliable sources. Although reliable sources have repeatedly reported on conspiracy theories, reporting on conspiracy theories is not the same thing as advocating conspiracy theories or accepting them as fact. The most recent discussion that resulted in the current consensus took place on this talk page in December 2011. If you disagree with the current status, you are welcome to bring your concerns to the article talk page. Please read the previous discussions on this talk page and try to explain how your viewpoint provides new arguments or information that may lead to a change in consensus. Please be sure to be polite and support your views with citations from reliable sources. Q2: Should the article use the word "terrorist" (and related words)?
A2: Wikipedia:Words to watch states that "there are no forbidden words or expressions on Wikipedia". That being said, "terrorism" is a word that requires extra attention when used in Wikipedia. The consensus, after several lengthy discussions, is that it is appropriate to use the term in a limited fashion to describe the attacks and the executors of these attacks. The contributors have arrived at this conclusion after looking at the overwhelming majority of reliable sources that use this term as well as the United Nations' own condemnation of the attacks.[1] |

Islam
You go change that subtitle, it's not the islam who force people to do this. These people aren't muslims and they don't know anything aboutislam just like you also don't so don't judge all the muslims about it Mohammad Wehbeh (talk) 23:57, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
- What subtitle are you talking about? The article has no subtitle, and "Islam" is not a section heading, or a part of one. Antandrus (talk) 00:37, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
Wouldn't a more specific title be preferred?
While I know Wikipedia tries to go with the most popular names for things and events, the initial attack on 1973 Chilean coup d'état is also important, so I feel a more specific name would be more respectful. 190.185.118.102 (talk) 17:03, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- While I agree this article's title is unfortunate, WP:COMMONNAME doesn't appear to have any exceptions for respectfulness. And per the same policy, you have to try to name the article something that most people will immediately know. What's a well-known, widely-used name for the attacks that also immediately clicks in most people's minds? RunnyAmiga (talk) 17:08, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- Retitle. How about "YFooling all of the people some of the time and Wikipedia all of the time?"

Remove categories
![]() | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
- Please remove the article from high-level parent categories Category:Attacks and Category:Massacres per subcat rule because the article already included into subcategories Category:Al-Qaeda attacks and Category:Terrorist incidents in the United States in 2001 and Category:Massacres in the United States. Also, change category Category:Mass murder in 2001 to its child Category:Massacres in 2001. 95.133.149.157 (talk) 01:19, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Partly done: Removed the first two cats, but disagree with use of "massacre" categories. Mass murder seems more appropriate imho. EvergreenFir (talk) 01:41, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
