what were the names of the hijackers? Osama Bin Laden — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.210.235.44 ( talk) 01:35, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

What's the significance of this section? There was a suspicion of coordinated trading with the September 11, 2001 attacks. The conclusion was nothing happened. patsw 15:08, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
The beginning of the article feels more suitable to a pulp novel than a reliable information source. Maybe this should be toned down?
"The news shocked the world. Men and women wept openly."
I am aware of men and women weeping openly at many occasions, e.g. shock results at sports events, death of famous celebrities, etc.
"The event left a lasting impression on many Americans. The question, "Where were you on September 11, 2001?" has become a common topic of discussion, and will be for years to come."
I feel this is emotional rather than informational. Do we need to add this sentence to death of JFK article, first landing on the moon, death of Princess Diana? .... I suggest these two sentences are removed.

68.32.116.227 23:15, 28 August 2006 (UTC)I was browsing the Internet and found what I think is a very good blog post that shows how 9/11 affected the life of a kid who was 10 at the time. You can read it here: [2] I would add it myself, but it's not a very noteable blog, and the first 1/3 of the post is not very NPOV (I don't know if any of those things matter). I suggested this because I noticed there were no testimonials from children under the "Effects on children" section, I think this would be a good addition.
This just surfaced http://intelligence.senate.gov/phaseiiaccuracy.pdf and it is ideal for illustration of this: "Iraq had no role in the September 11 attacks and had no known history of a significant working relationship with Al Qaida.". Here is an excerpt: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5328592.stm. Lovelight 21:38, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
The book After September 11 would be a natural related book for this entry. The book is from Reuters and published in 2003.
Someone should add this in the appropriate spots. Israel Reacts to Terrorist Attacks on the US - 11-Sep-2001 -- Shamir1 06:31, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
File:Honoluluadvertiser11september2001.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I just reverted that year-old edit, the article seems not so good to me. — Xiutwel ♫☺♥♪ (speech has the power to bind the absolute) 14:33, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
The word "oppressive" in the lead sentence "the US invaded Afghanistan in order to remove the oppressive Taliban regime (which harbored al-Qaeda) and to capture al-Qaeda forces." is unnecessary, misleading and a non neutral POV. It is non neutral because in the eyes of the Taliban regime (and other such religious regimes) they would probably considered themselves righteous, pious and Godly and not unduly oppressive. It is misleading because there are many oppressive regimes but the US does not make a habit of attacking such regimes for that reason. It is unnecessary because the reason for the attack was to "remove the Taliban regime (which harbored al-Qaeda) and to capture al-Qaeda forces." and that does not change with the removal of "oppressive". -- PBS ( talk) 16:56, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
The 684 point loss should cross reference to the top 20 list on ' /info/en/?search=List_of_largest_daily_changes_in_the_Dow_Jones_Industrial_Average' but there is no one day decline on that list for Sept 2001 (there is however a record 684 point fall but it is associated with 2008-11-13).
Also the statement that the event in 2001 held the record and was only recently replaced by the 2008 series of falls also seems to contradict the list (states the prior record was actually set in 2000?). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephendmann ( talk • contribs) 01:06, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
