more details

[edit]
  • I added more details to the article on Najibullah Zazi.
  • I started an article on the imam, Ahmad Wais Afzali. If all Afzali did was tell Zazi -- "hey the police were asking about you" -- is that a crime? The police weren't paying him. If they wantd him to not tell the suspects maybe they should have?
  • I am going to add some more details to this article. Geo Swan (talk) 04:53, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

new name

[edit]

I don't like the current name, "2009 U.S. Al Qaeda group":

  • Are there other 2009 plots now? The year isn't over yet;
  • The al Qaeda link is only an allegation.

So, what are the alternatives? Najibullah Zazi alleged sleeper cell? Or New York sleeper cell investigation (2009)?

I hadn't realized that Najibullah Zazi was suspected of leading a plot to explode bomb(s) on or about the anniversary of 9-11. Perhaps a better title might be something like Suspected 9-11 anniversary bombing of 2009, or suspected conspiracy to bomb New York city on 9-11 2009?

inconsistent time interval

[edit]
According to American security officials, Zazi's last trip had lasted five months, from mid-August to mid-July.

Do months work differently in America or something? --131.179.160.144 (talk) 04:11, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Months work the same. Sometimes brains don't work, and make typographical errors. That passage should have said "mid-January". Did you consider checking the source document? Geo Swan (talk) 05:50, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

[edit]

I renamed based on all the news reports that the Feds are charging the group had a London wing planning to carry out an attack there. No specific UK target has been given as of this writing said United Kingdom. Caliinbg it a plot instead of a group is consisting with how other terrorist plots are named. If a specific UK target is named we could rename this again. Edkollin (talk) 18:43, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

[edit]

Formal request has been received to merge the articles Ahmad Wais Afzali and Mohammed Wali Zazi into 2009 New York City Subway and United Kingdom plot; dated: December 2017. Proposer's Rationale: Neither man has any claims of notability other their assistance in the attack plot and the articles have barely any information beyond that. Discuss here.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 2009 New York City Subway and United Kingdom plot's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 01:46, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
