Awlaki

First of all, lay of the personal attacks or you will be blocked. Secondly, there are several references describing Anwar Awlaki as a regional commander in the Arabian Gulf i.e. [1] Pass a Method talk 20:18, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure who the above is addressed to, but no such reference is given, and all such references I have seen elsewhere, including the NYT article you cite, are simple assertions by interested parties. President Obama ordered the killing of al-Awlaki - his assertion that Awlaki was a leader of Al-Qaeda is no more conclusive than any other killer's assertion of justification. If Obama had published evidence it would be a different matter. As it stands it seems likely that al-Awlaki was an inconvenience to the US government because of the influence of his preaching, and the notion that he was an active leader of Al-Qaeda was invented as an excuse for his assassination. If there is any concrete evidence available to show that al-Awlaki had a role in the leadership of Al-Qaeda, perhaps you should quote it rather than allege its existence and revert a valid edit without justifying your action.125.92.222.222 (talk) 05:44, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 27 December 2012

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected template at Template:Al-Qaeda.
(edit · history · last · links · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

It might be useful to point out that Al Quaeda refers to a specific guest-house in Pakistan where people who shared the self-appointed work (or Jihad) of liberation assembled on their way to engage the invaders in Afghanistan. The original Al Quaeda seems to have been a tiny store-front for the Mujahidin Service Bureau in a Bazaar in Peshawar. With the exception of Fawlty Towers it has come to be the most talked-about guest-house of our time.
