Ahmed Mohamed clock incident
Yes, but it was treated as a hoax to begin with.--JudgeJason (talk) 13:38, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * That does not make it an actual hoax. If an actual bomb "was treated as a hoax to begin with", we would not include it in the "hoaxes" category, because there was no hoax. In this case, there was no "hoax bomb" and there was no "hoax." NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 13:40, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It's an alleged hoax then.--JudgeJason (talk) 13:44, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * The article briefly discusses the fringe claims that it was a hoax; that's all the space that should be given to those discredited allegations. Lots of things get "alleged" by lots of different people about lots of different things; we don't put articles in categories based on speculative allegations. That's particularly true for articles about living people. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 13:46, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Mother of All Storms
Apropos the Bush demo. It's not actually called "the mother..." -- everyone in the field just called it The Demo. But for the origin of The Mother Of All Storms, isn't that something Stilgar says in Dune? No time to look it up. MarkBernstein (talk) 23:21, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
