[edit] Editing on Wikipedia

[edit] Introduction

Now you may want to use this as a basis on how to approach me when you want my support, or maybe just a guide to how I edit on Wikipedia.

[edit] My areas of expertise

Although I have a few main areas of editing I enjoy to write about, such as dinosaurs or war, I change my subject almost daily. Although all three of my current FA's are about dinosaurs, I've written about everything from games to people, from plants to movies & anything in between. Call it a supreme case of ADD, but I enjoy it & it keeps my editing fresh & exciting.

[edit] Style

I generally like to keep a formal style. I occasionally deviate & add in a positive or negative word to make the passage emotional to read etc. I also try to keep writing at a high schooler's reading level. I hate those who come along & add scientific words that only a professional would understand. Wikipedia should be easy to read & not bore you to death halfway through an article. At least try & link to an article which explains a subject easier than you may be able to in the article's text. Damn those scientists..... If I hate one thing more than those who put too much technicality into a text, it's those who put obvious weasel words into an article. For example, "probably" is my number one pet peeve. I you don't know, at least delete the word so it sounds like you do!

[edit] Deletion

Now, everyone either falls into two catagories on here: Inclusionist or exclusionist. I'm am definitely an inclusionist. I feel it's not my job to separate what's relevant or notable from the drivel. I like to have much more info than is needed than under & sound better. Don't get me wrong, if it's a crap article that is two lines across about "my momma", delete it. But I draw the line if it's a factual article, that happens to be a pathetic stub. Someone will come by eventually & flesh it out.

[edit] Linking dates

I like linking dates. Dates are articles too, why should they always be left out? Sure, link it once in an article, but don't not link it. And that's about it for my basic thoughts on editing on Wikipedia. Pretty pathetic, but my thoughts...

[edit] The war on terrorism - Its cause & effect

[edit] Introduction

Now I'm not usually a very political person, but no such topic to do with politics has interested me as much as the world's war on terrorism. If you keep an open mind, then you may find this passage interesting & insightful.

Now, I've read, heard & seen so many things on 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, the Middle East & conspiracy theories, that it abosolutely blows the mind. Undoubtedly, the 9/11 attacks were terrible losses of life & a dark day in both America & the world's life. However, what you are about to read is what I have been lucky enough to learn & to evaluate, & it may just change your persepective on the war on terrorism.

[edit] The 9/11 attacks

Lets face it, 9/11 cause a startling chain of events that are still in motion today; From the Patriot Act, to Afghanistan, to Iraq, to the Israeli-Lebannese conflict. They are all connected.

Let's start off with 9/11. Now you may have seen DVDs & heard of conspiracy theories about this event. Let me tell you, most are actually true & are quite possible & obvious. Now hear me out, & don't just sentence me as another paranoid nutball. One DVD stood out above all the others; a DVD called Loose Change. Although what I'm writing here is some of what this DVD conveys, you must simply see this DVD & decide for yourself.

On 9/11, I believe the American Government flew planes into the World Trade Towers & Pentagon on their own. Think about it for a second. Why would they do such a thing? It's plain crazy! Open your eyes, the American Government has no thought for human life, so this event wouldn't even register on their radar. They send troops into Iraq knowing fully that they're sending them in with faulty body armour & they did it all for a sinister plan. What was that plan? To get the American Public's support, undivided support. Think. They destroy their own buildings, blame it all on the terrorists & then say "Give up your human rights by supporting the Patriot Act & allow us to capture the terrorists". When the Patriot Act when to congress, George Bush publically told the members that if they didn't support the Act then they weren't patriots. He said they shouldn't even read the Act, just support it!Now, because of the Act, all Acts of crime are now counted as terrorism, even jay-walking! So that means, if you are caught jay-walking, you can be arrested as a terrorist & held in Guantanamo Bay for over a year without a trial! Now nobody is safe!

The World Trade Centre was made of reinforced concrete with huge, impervious steel pillars & rods. That steel would not melt until the fire burning reached sustained levels of 2,000+ degrees celcius. In fact, it would take fires of over 2,200+ degrees celcius to completely melt the steel. The fires from the jet fuel were not sustained for a prolonged level of time & were under 1,700 degrees celcius for most of their time. This would not have burned & melted the steel in the towers. So if the fire supposedly collapsed the towers, there must be many other buildings that have collapsed from fires? Yes: Two - The two World Trade Centre towers! In fact, no other building of that size, or of much lesser size, has ever collapsed because of fire. A wooden tower in South America burned for over 24 hours & it did not collapse. A wooden tower! And they would have us belive that a reinforced steel tower, that was built exactly to withstand hurricanes & even a plane flying into it, would collapse after a brief, small fire?

So what did collapse the World Trade Centre? Larry Silverstein, owner of the towers, took out a multi-billion dollar insurance just prior to the attacks, a contract specializing in acts of terrorism. He stood to gain billions of dollars. A quirky little story can now be told however. Everyone remember World Trade Centre build 7? The one that held governments tax records that collapsed supposedly because of falling materials from the Towers? The one that was also owned by Larry Silverstein? The one that was further away from the towers than other buildings that didn't colapse? Well Larry Silverstein let slip why the building really collapsed in an interview with a news network: "The building had taken too much damages, so we decided to pull it." Now the word pull is lingo for demolish, as in implode a building using explosives & such. Now to set up explosives inside building 7 in order to "pull" it, would have taken days. Therefore, for Larry Silverstein to demolish the building once it took damage, he must have known about the terror attacks before they actually happened. The collapse of this building would have also contributed to his multi-billion dollar pay out too. Funnily, out of all the World Trade Centre workers, only one openly Jewish person was killed[1]. And he was visiting from a neighbouring company.

So if building 7 was demolished, what happened to the Two Towers if a fire didn't destroy it? Well, basically the same thing. Soon before the towers collapse, small explosions from around the building on several different floors were both caught on film & heard by witnesses & firemen. In fact, without knowing what they were seeing, numerous reporters from the major news stations reported they had heard secondary explosions. To add to the claim, teams of security gaurds & bomb sniffing dogs were suddenly removed from areas of the towers under the pretense of "building repairs".

Further mysteries about the attacks is why is there brief but bright flash in the same spot before the planes hit? The planes had not made contact yet, however there was a bright flash where they were about to crash. Some say this is a bomb. And why was there gold filled trucks heading out of the underground tunnels beneath the towers? The drivers had suddenly stopped & run off. How would they have known that unless they had prior knowledge of the about to hit planes? The money they were carrying actually came from the bank vaults from the World Trade Centre. Millions of gold bars & cash notes on the backs of deserted trucks. Sounds a bit fishy. Another mystery is the fact that government agents didn't find the black boxes for the two planes which hit the Towers, yet they managed to find the passport of one of the hijackers. Just incase you didn't know, a black box is made out of almost impervious material, while a passport is made out of paper.

Now let's move on to the Pentagon attack. A plane supposedly crashes into the Pentagon. However on closer inspection of the crash site before the the side's roof collapses, you can see numerous oddities with the crash site. The number one oddity is that there are no large pieces of debris around. The largest pice is the size of a man, & is not scratched or burnt. All other pieces are small enough to be carried by hand, as some workers do in order to clear up. The government's excuse is that once again, like the World Trade Centre's fires, the fire at the Pentagon was hot enough to melt all the plane's piece's. Strangely however, coroners were able to indentify over 80 of the 80+ passengers from the plane! When a plane crashes, we all know there must be some remnants left behind of a sizable chunk. Yet at the Pentagon, there are none. The plane that supposedly crashed there had titanium engines. These would not have melted at the temperatures the fire from the planes would have caused. In fact, there are no signs of any of the two 6 metre titanium engines.

Another oddity is the actual point of impact. The hole in the Pentagon's wall is barely enough to fit a small car through, let alone a huge commercial jet. There are no markings from where the wings & engines would have smashed into the wall. Yet the hole goes back many metres. By the time the plane's cabins would have smashed through the wall, it would have not had the velocity to continue to smash through & create yet another hole several metres back. However, there is something that could; A cruise missile. Holes left from cruise missiles in Iraq from the last time a Bush invaded the country, show similar markings as in the Pentagon. To add to this theory, officials at the scene told how they could specifically smell cordite, a common ingredient in missiles. Also, if a plane had skidded across the lawn & entered the building, it would have left a mark, yet only a couple of barely damaged light poles & no skid marks are left in the "plane's" wake. Also, the terrorist supposedly flying the plane, was described as being of low flying skills. To enter at the angle needed would have needed military precision.

Yet another oddity is the videos from nearby buildings. One gas station was approached immediately after the attacks & were ordered by government agents to surrender private security tapes to them. The tapes were never seen again, except from when the government released 6 frames of one tape to the public, showing the explosion. Yet nowhere on the frames does it show the plane sliding across screen into the building. No, it only shows clear sky, then an explosion. No plane.

For the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania, coroners there eventually gave up looking for bodies, & reported that: "I stopped being coroner after 30 mins. there were no bodies. To this day, I have not seen a drop of blood. Not a drop." Others reported it looked like someone had dug a 30 foot ditch & dropped scraps in it.

The most damning point of evidence for this crash is the phone calls from the passengers. In all reality, the phone calls were short & not legible. One person called his mother using his first & last name. When was the last time you called a family member, let alone your maother using your full name? But most of all, the phone calls never happened. A scientist tried using cellphones to call from a plane, & at the height the plane was travelling, he recorded a 0.001% success rate. So until the airlines installed servers to allow cellphone usage on board, cellphones were unable to make calls from moving planes. The phone calls never happened. There have also been reports that the people on the plane were never on it & the plane itself was never reported as being destroyed!

As for the terrorists, out of the 19 supposed hijackers on 9/11, over two thirds are still alive in jobs & countries across the middle east, not deceased in a hijacked plane! The only reason America could actually show the attacks were an act of terrorism from another people was the Osama Bin Laden confession tape. There are several worrying factors to this tape. The tape is of poor quality, degrading the amount you are able to actually see. The Bin Laden on the tape is much fatter than in other photos. The CIA list Bin Laden as left handed, yet in the tape, he is seen writing a note with his right hand. He is also wearing a gold ring, which is forbidden in the Islamic law. And guess who confirmed the tape to be authentic? The Pentagon of course! The people right in the middle of it. In fact Bin Laden was trained by the CIA & the Americans have had Bin Laden cornered & ready to kill on numerous occasions. However, they consistently let him go. Yes, I believe the American Government terrorized their own people in order to act out a sinister & greedy plan. And it is the innocent people of 9/11 & of today that are paying the ultimate price.

[edit] Afghanistan

Altough I'm not entirely familiar with what's going on in Afghanistan, I do know a thing or two of corrupt dealings that are going on there. With the American people's support, America finally declared war on the small country of Afghanistan. This would be the opening of the chain events that would result below. Once the Taliban had be overthrown, the American's put in power a supposed Afghani, Hamid Karzai, who in fact was an American. And soon after he was in power, he immediately set a pipeline directly to the mineral & oil-rich Caspian Sea. Now, most of those minerals & oil deposits go where? Take one guess; America. After the Americans had finished bombing the heck out of the country, they set their eyes on another dictator, while they can continue to make pacts with the communist China!

[edit] Iraq

Yes, probably the climax of the war on terrorism. And I bet George W. Bush was climaxing in his pants too when he finally had a chance at all those oil reserves in Iraq. Yes, thousands of young soldiers with faulty body armour sent into the desert to depose a leader who was supposedly carrying masses of weapons of mass destruction. I guess they got that one wrong! We all know the real reason was oil. Most of the world's oil supply rests in the area & with two countries now controlled by the Americans in the Middle East, they are now able to do whatever they want. And they do. Why does Bush send troops to Iraq, not posing any threat what so ever, when mass murders are still continuing until today in Africa? South Africa? Rowanda? Do they expect to leave it to the pushover U.N.? The answer is yes. There is simply nothing to gain out of those countries. Control the oil & you control the world. Control some little mosquito swamp country & you obviously don't have as much power some how...

[edit] The war on terrorism - Effects today

So the chain of events: 9/11, Patriot Act, Afghanistan, Iraq. You'd think it would stop there, but it doesn't. Now everyone is invading everyone because "they are terrorists"! And we support them, cause who really wants to support labelled terrorists? For example, the recent Israeli-Lebannese conflict. Israel has hundreds of Lebannese prisoners, yet when Hezbollah captures 2 soldiers, they are labelled terrorists & invaded! Now the Israelis are bombing innocent civilians because they may have rockets or weapons. And how many civilians have Hezbollah killed? Hardly any, most deaths are on soldiers, the complete opposite to Israel. And guess who backs up Israel? America! America, no offense, is in league with the Israel because of the high numbers of Jewish peoples living in America. And what happens if Israel continues to invade other countries? America is going to be the main benefactor of the oil Israel captures. Open your eyes everyone. The real terrorist is the American Government, & we're all letting it walk all over the world. China makes people disappear & we give them the Olympic Games. Israel throw numerous Palestinians & Lebannese out of their homes & the Americans support them. Hezbollah ask for a fair prisoner swap, & they get invaded by a much more sophisticated force. The world is crazy. Even if what I've spent the last few hours writing here only changes one person's mind, then that is my job done. Too many people are living in ignorance of the truth. Don't.
