Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to The Path to 9/11, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. --Hunterm267''Talk 16:20, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

How Wikipedia works

 * "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
 * We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
 * Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, use, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
 * Primary sources are usually avoided to prevent original research. Secondary or tertiary sources are preferred for this reason as well.
 * Reliable sources typically include: articles from mainstream magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards.  User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided.  Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
 * Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources.  Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for.  In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence.  In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.
 * We do not give equal validity to topics which reject and are rejected by mainstream academia. For example, our article on Earth does not pretend it is flat, hollow, and/or the center of the universe.

Wikipedia presents the reality-based consensus on the 9/11 attacks (what you mislabel as the "government version") as fact. We do not tolerate conspiracy theorism much to begin with but 9/11 conspiracy theories are especially unwelcome. You're free to edit other parts of the site but leave 9/11 related articles alone.

 * Wikipedia is not a place for you to draw people into pissing contests you clearly want to start, nor is it a place for you to promote your paper on. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia based on professionally-published mainstream sources.  Ian.thomson (talk) 22:58, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Well, I am not arguing. I simply stated me and architects and engineers want a new Congressional investigation of 9/11 because there is irrefutable scientific evidence that the World Trade Center buildings did not collapse on 9/11 due to fire that used fuel from hydrocarbon materials for example, office furnishings. I also offered readers of Wikipedia to read my 100 paged research paper listing this scientific evidence and evidence what when it is presented in a court (like eye witness statements under oath or documents) adds up to probable cause that a crime was covered up by the 9/11 Commission and the main stream media.

 * Normally, your UTRS appeal would be rejected on the grounds that you could have appealed here. It was oddly prescient given that you continued on this page the same behavior that got you blocked to begin with. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:34, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
