9/11 conspiracy theories

The page you want is Misplaced Pages:No original research, which defines Misplaced Pages's rules on original research. Your edit took the (verifiable) facts of Bush's conduct regarding the 9/11 Commission and put them in an article regarding conspiracy theories, which implies that this is evidence of Bush having something to do with carrying out the attacks, a position which is not advanced by the original sources. This content would be better off in another article relating to 9/11 (some of it is already in Criticism of the 9/11 Commission). Hut 8.5 20:02, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

What you're talking about doesn't seem to be very relevant to the article on conspiracy theories, which is concerned about theories which allege that the U.S. government actually carried out the attacks (as opposed to theories which allege they were incompetent or tried to cover this up. As far as Misplaced Pages is concerned, a label like "conspiracy theorist" can only be applied if the term is commonly used by reliable sources such as newspapers, and this isn't the case with the idea that al-Qaeda were responsible. I suggest you take your concerns to an article talk page such as Talk:September 11 attacks and discuss with other editors there. Hut 8.5 20:35, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
