thread_title: Financing of 1993 WTC attacks 

message: I just fixed some blatant wrong information in the infobox, he is held at Guantanamo Bay, not ADX Florence. Somebody might want to conduct a comprehensive fact check of this article before removing the tag. Looking at the edit history, I have no doubt there are other inaccuracies that have been buried within this article. Safiel (talk) 14:33, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Thats great you adjusted that, but assuming the rest of the article is possibly factually compromised and slapping a tag atop it without providing details except to assume bad faith of other editors is not helpful. If you can find further issues along the lines you suggest then detail them, otherwise the tag needs to go.--MONGO 16:19, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In this edit  removed an image with the edit summary "fails NFCC#8".  Well WP:NFCC#8 says:
: Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.
To merely say something like, "the ad showed an image of KSM looking dissheveled" would be insufficient.  He is far more than merely dissheveled.  Our policies don't permit us to use the right number and intensity of adjectives for his appearance.  A picture is required.
For what it is worth, while the provenance of this image can't be definitively established, it is 99.9 percent certain to have been taken by KSM's CIA snatch team, or his CIA captors.  That would put it clearly in the public domain, as .  Geo Swan (talk) 19:02, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: * Non-free content can safely be used on Wikipedia as long as it is appropriately tagged and its use meets the fair use criteria as listed under WP:NFC. As to this poster, WP:NFCI #4 applies - the poster is the subject of a critical commentary in the text (and thus cannot be replaced with a free image). — kashmiri TALK 23:51, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: *Simply describing an image does not amount to critical commentary. Otherwise saying "Meryl Streep was photographed in a red dress at the Academy Awards" would justify use of a nonfree image, as would (to use a commonly rejected type of claim) "Jessica Hahn/Belinda Carlisle/Charisma Carpenter posed nude for the cover of Playboy". The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo).  Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.   (talk) 01:59, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: * Hullaballoo Wolfowitz, please clarify...  I think you are accepting, in principle, that WP:NFCI #4 does apply, to some images, you are just concerned it did not apply to this image.  Is this correct?  Okay, then how about clarifying where you think the line is drawn?  Geo Swan (talk) 12:30, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Questionable claim to the authority of [[WP:NFCC#8]]

message: Mere hours after I opened this discussion Hullaballoo Wolfowitz, the contributor who first excised this image, excised it a second time.  An administrator has since deleted the image, inappropriately, in my opinion, under WP:CSD#f5.  F5 should only be applied to non-free images that have gone un-used for seven days.  But I restored the image to use yesterday, so it had only been unused for about four hours, following its second excision, when it was deleted.
I have requested the deleting administrator to restore the image.  Geo Swan (talk) 11:02, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  A Commons file used on this page or its Wikidata item has been nominated for deletion 

message: The introduction contains euphemisms that are not worthy of a Wikipedia article: "In March 2007, after significant interrogations…" As the article later states, Mr. Mohammed (like most people who went through the "RDI program") was tortured and confessions were obtained through torture. The introduction should reflect this fact and not use euphemisms. I suggest that an experienced Wikipedia editor make the requisite changes. Thank you.

replies: text: @Adam055lakes You don't have to open discussion on every change. A reasonable explanation in the edit summary is sufficient. Discussion for most non-controversial contributions is only really warranted if making major changes, extensive refactoring, or doing stuff like page moves. If someone reverts, or challenges material discussion is required. That said: We appreciate your :WP:DIY ethic, and boldly fixing the problem yourself! -- dsprc [talk] 21:38, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
