Cleanup : *The citations have got out of hand. The various variations of the {{cite}} template need to be used, but there seem to be a great number which are imperfectly cited. Please pick up any that simply show as a url and visit (eg) cite web to determine the most appropriate template to put inside the ref. This is reinforced by the most recent Peer Review comment about consistency. The full set of templates are at Wikipedia:Citation templates
The ref for In response to concerns about the destruction of evidence, W. Gene Corley, head of the Building Performance Assessment Team on the site, stated, that "The team has had full access to the scrap yards and to the site and has been able to obtain numerous samples."[101] at http://www.house.gov/science/hearings/full02/mar06/corley.htm does not lead to the expected story
This article makes no reference to the only cited scientific examination of actual materials for the presence of explosive materials claimed by supporters of the controlled demolition theory. That study by Harrit et al. found the presence of unexploded nanothermite materials.
Copyedit : * From Peer Review One thing I would note is that grammar and phrasing are very important for "Featured Articles." I noticed a few phrases in the introduction that were awkward at best. Example: "The collapse of 7 World Trade Center (not hit by any plane)..." In this case, the interjection would flow much better if it was "which was not hit by a plane", or perhaps it should be removed entirely. The whole article should be examined for tone by a seasoned editor.
Expand : *Fix this reference: Griffin, David Ray in The Hidden History (will fix ref).
Other : *Continually monitor the Peer Review feedback, discuss it and incorporate the agreed items, making sure feedback is left on the Peer Review page
Examine these references and determine whether they fit and where they fit. and add them if appropriate, giving feedback on completion

Use of the term, “Conspiracy Theory” in the Wikipedia “Talk:World Trade Center controlled demolition conspiracy theories”
The term, “Conspiracy Theory” used in the Wikipedia “Talk:World Trade Center controlled demolition conspiracy theories” is derogatory. It assume a fact not in evidence, therefore falling into the category of Boolean Logic known as “Begging The Question”.
"Begging the question," also known as "petitio principii" or a circular argument, is a logical fallacy where the premise of an argument assumes the truth of the conclusion it is trying to prove. In essence, it's a form of circular reasoning where the conclusion is hidden within the premise, making the argument invalid.
(Boolean logic is a system of logic based on the values "true" and "false," represented as 1 and 0 respectively. It uses logical operators like AND, OR, and NOT to combine or modify these values, and is foundational for computer science and digital systems.)
If this definition of Boolean Logic is not understood, an unbiased attempt at learning to understand it is required. Absent the understanding of Boolean Logic the veracity of my comment cannot be realized. JonPaul McClellan (talk) 13:14, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia uses the terminology commonly employed by reliable sources. We don't apply logic, Boolean or otherwise, to article titles, we use the terminology associated with the article's sources. Please read WP:NOR and WP:SYNTH, we don't accept original research or philosophical speculation. Acroterion(talk)14:06, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
