From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My first self-nom. I see "Remember 9/11" stickers all over the place, but very few people know anything about the perpetrators. This is a detailed biography of one of the more interesting of the hijackers. Info culled from the 9/11 report, Congressional testimony, and several conspiracy sites for good measure. I listed this on Peer Review several weeks ago, and no one had any improvements to suggest. What do you think? Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 12:21, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC)

  • Object. Some of the spacing looks funny on Mozilla Firefox (notably at the second image, where there's a giant gap between two paragraphs). No references, either. 219.93.174.110 13:14, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Can anonymous users vote? - Ta bu shi da yu 05:32, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • There are three external links, which are basically references. Is this good enough? (I'll fix the spacing problem presently.)
      • Sorry, that was my vote. Seems I got logged out by accident. The problem with spacing seems to be fixed; as for the references, I will support once they are converted to conform with Wikipedia:Cite sources (a task which shouldn't be too hard). For now, neutral. Support. Johnleemk | Talk 08:18, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Support, as long as the spacing problem is fixed. (and references) Ambi 13:38, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Support Neutral. I guess that he came from a Muslim family though he went to a Catholic school. This should be stated explicitly, I think. It confused me. Andries 16:23, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Yes, you're right. I'll make that more clear. Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 22:06, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC)
  • Object for now. The lead section needs expansion. It should present an overview/summary of the article, but currently misses parts of the article (such as the identity issue). Also, a little more context would be good. See Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#Lead section. Other than this, support. Jeronimo 18:23, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Okay, this is done. Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 18:09, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. Surprisingly NPOV for such a controversial figure, excellent work. Zerbey 00:41, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 11:22, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. I expected to see POV ranting, but this is a good NPOV article! Anárion 13:56, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. Wow. Well written, very informative and fascinating. func(talk) 21:44, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
