All,

In the thread Orgainising an FAQ, Anti-sophist and I both suggested a FAQ in a wiki format. A-S suggested the title:

911 Answers
"Just providing answers to those just asking questions"

I've set this up:

9/11 Answers Wiki

Right now, it's a template. Anyone can edit the pages, which I'm sure will need to be restricted Real Soon Now, if not due to vandalism, it will be the spambots. So go to town, create content, fix it up.
 
Esssellent idea. As I currently have ten books on the subject here, I'll be sure to read them in front of the computer.
 
*bump*

This is Excellent, you have no idea how this will benefit a lot of the people (fencesitters, possible CTers?) I know.
 
Curt might I suggest you do restrict access to it for now and maybe people PM you for access? Only a suggestion, I know it means it will take longer for it to build but it also means you can be sure the entered information is valid, up to date and correct.
 
As much as I want this idea to work...

(1) it will be vandilized and filled with CT garbage in the blink of an eye.
(2) Not sure it will have much weight, given it is on wiki, and we know anyone can edit wiki.

You know I want this to work, so dont take my comments as anything only constructive.

Is there a way to restrict editing to "trusted" users?
 
I would suggest useing skepticwiki
 
I have mainly been lurking on this forum, with most of my time spent working on Wikipedia and on "my" website - http://www.debunk911myths.org/

I would welcome additional editors on my website, which might be better suited than editthis.info I suggest that work needs to be done on Wikipedia too.

Debunk911myths:
My website is set-up with a wiki interface, which is entirely hidden on the site, unless you log in. This past weekend, I solved some technical issues and now have expanding/submenus for each main topic. I now think it's ready for more editors.

In order to get an account, new editors would need to contact me, be approved, and I would set up a new account for them. Like Wikipedia, I could eventually appoint more trusted editors as admins who can help with account approval. For now, I'm the only admin.

Right now I am focused on building content. The goal is to build a collection of articles (wiki-style) and information that not only debunks the myths but is a general resource on 9/11. I've started with the 9/11 Commission Report, the NIST and FEMA reports, and various other books and resources.

Wikipedia:
At the same time as I work my way through all these reports and resources, I am posting relevant information on Wikipedia. On Wikipedia, my goal is to get a set of articles relating to the 9/11 attacks to featured status.

I would welcome help on my site and/or on Wikipedia. Are people are interested in either or both?

And I want to thank Curt for getting the ball rolling. One more advantage to my site is that it won't display ads. There are some ads on the search feature on my site, but I'm looking to get rid of those too. On editthis.info, I wouldn't be suprised to see a "loose change" ad displayed there. So, it's best to have no ads.
 
Excellent. I made my first edit to change "which" to "with".

Woo hoo!
 
Could somebody write about me? Like in "On this subject, Bell has stated ..."

Ofcource, I haven't stated anything up to now, but I'm optimistic I will one day.

How about:

On the subject of being quoted, Bell has stated "Ofcource, I haven't stated anything up to now, but I'm optimistic I will one day."

I'm all for that. Let's move the wiki effort over to your site. Can you give me a login? Also firecoins would want one.
 
I'd be keen to get all my NORAD info on there - it was a lot of work to find all the stuff and put it together, so it'd be nice if it was somewhere people could read it... ;)

It is divided into three major categories:

1) NORAD's Mission and Standard Intercept/Hijacking Proceedures as at 9/11
2) NORAD Exercises and 9/11
3) Detailed minute by minute timeline of 9/11 as from the perspective of NORAD, covers from 0759 (AA11 departure) to 1015 (NEADS notified that UA93 has crashed).
