Wikipedia Censorship of 9/11 Evidence and Related Legal Action Continues
Most of our faults are more pardonable than the means we
use to conceal them.
~François, Duc de La Rochefoucauld, Maxims, 1665
On Apr 8th/9th2010,
Abraham Hafiz Rodriguez posted a Wikipedia Page describing the research of Dr
Judy Wood. A screen snapshot of most of the page is shown here:
Mr Rodriguez appealed the deletion (as detailed below), but
he was finally blocked from discussing the matter:
The Article text and appeals against deletion are shown
below.
However, this really shows the true colours behind
Wikipedia’s agenda – they will not accept articles on certain subjects and data
– even when they are truthful and accurate – and of great importance. The result
is that vital information is kept hidden – and a false view of reality is
created.
Abraham Hafiz Rodriguez, the poster of the article comments:
The thing about Wikipedia is that monopolies form very
quickly between the administrators. Meaning, if one administrator opposes
the article I post, he can easily convince and recruit other Wikipedia
moderators to join in the censorship, regardless of how they feel about it.
They simply will agree with him, because they have formed a relationship.
So, it only took 1 or 2 closed-minded administrators to
convince roughly 5-10 to go along with the censorship, and any time I tried
to appeal, it was shot down by the same group.
Other 9/11 Researchers and Wikipedia
Kevin Barrett, Steven E Jones and David Ray Griffin have their
own Wikipedia Pages – they have not been deleted. Clearly, Wikipedia defends the
official story of 9/11, so these pages will likely not be entirely
complementary. But why have their pages not been deleted, in the same way as Dr
Judy Wood’s page has? Readers can draw their own conclusions.
An Example of Other Wikipedia Censorship
Wikipedia has a proven track record
of censoring or mis-representing many of the most important topics which
threaten to overturn the current scientific, economic or social paradigm, such
as those relating to theStarchildand
the person who has done the most to promote understanding of it, Lloyd Pye:
(Wikipedia Deleted it before any of us saved the exact posting).
Dr. Judy D. Wood, Ph.D Dr. Judy D. Wood is a former professor of mechanical
engineering with research interests in experimental stress analysis, structural
mechanics, optical methods, deformation analysis, and the materials
characterization of biomaterials and composite materials. She is a member of the
Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM). co- founded SEM's Biological Systems
and Materials Division, and served on the SEM Composite Materials Technical
Division.Dr. Judy Wood received her B.S. (Civil Engineering. 1981) (Structural
Engineering). M.S. (Engineering Mechanics (Applied Physics). 1983), and Ph.D.
(Materials Engineering Science. 1992) from the Department of Engineering Science
and Mechanics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in
Blacksburg. Virginia. Her dissertation involved the development of an
experimental method to measure thermal stresses in bimaterial joints.'1'
Dr. Judy Wood has taught courses including: Experimental Stress
Analysis, Engineering Mechanics. Mechanics of Materials (Strength of Materials),
Strength of Materials Testing
From 1999 to 2006 Dr. Wood was an assistant professor in the
Mechanical Engineering Department at Clemson University in Clemson. South
Carolina.
Before moving to Clemson she spent three years as a postdoctoral
research associate in the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics at
Virginia Tech.
One of Dr. Wood's research interests is biomimicry. or applying
the mechanical structures of biological materials to engineering design using
engineering materials. Other recent research has investigated the deformation
behavior of materials and structures with complex geometries and complex
material properties, such as fiber-reinforced composite materials and biological
materials. Dr. Wood is an expert in the use of moire interferometry, a
full-field optical method that is used in stress analysis, as well as materials
characterization and other types of interference. In recent years, Dr. Wood and
her students have developed optical systems with various wavelengths and
waveguides. Dr. Wood has over 60 technical publications in refereed journals,
conference proceedings, and edited monographs and special technical reports.
Dr. Judy Wood started to question the events of 9/11 on that
same day when what she saw and heard on television was contradictory and
appeared to violate the laws of physics. Since that day she has used her
knowledge of engineering mechanics to prove that the collapse of the World Trade
Center twin towers could not…
FULL TEXT: ‘Judy Wood’ APPEAL OF DELETION / DELETION REVIEW
REQUEST
Invalid reasons given for deletion. Deleting user:Zscout370Reasons
given for deletion: User said Dr. Judy Wood is not a notable person and that my
page had Copyright violations. Reasons I am appealing: Dr. Judy Woodisa
notable person, because she is theONLY9/11
researcher to file her evidence in a court of law. One of her court cases made
it all the way to the Supreme Court! No other 9/11 researcher has accomplished
so much in the pursuit of truth and justice, yet many other 9/11 researchers
have their own Wikipedia pages. This is not fair. In addition, the material on
her website is not only fair use since it is a public website (www.drjudywood.com),
but also, I have personally contacted Dr. Judy Wood via email, and she has given
me permission to use any and all of the information on her website. She has
pledged to email the Wikipedia Permissions staff within 48 hours to inform them
that I do indeed have permission to use the information on her webpage.
Therefore, the two reasons given for deletion are invalid, and my attempts to
discuss this deletion at the Talk:Judy Wood page, were also deleted! This is
censorship, and it is not in the spirit of Wikipedia.Abraham

Endorse deletion-
as far as I can, regardless of what is done in the future, it was a copyvio
when deleted. Moreover, I see an article on this individual has already been
deleted a number of times and also has subject to an AFD. I would salt the
article space and tell anyone who wishes to make an article on this
individual to do so in a sandbox and then get other people to assess the
sources. --Cameron

Endorse deletion.
Even ignoring the possible copyright problems, the article had noreliable
independent sourcesabout
Judy Wood, which is a basic requirement (see e.g.WP:BIOformore
info on this).Fram(talk)

Response: Notability:Considering
Dr. Wood is the ONLY 9/11 Researcher ever to file her evidence in a court of
law, and considering that one of her court cases made it all the way to the
Supreme Court in October 2009, she is MORE notable than many 9/11
researchers that have their own pages, yet only hers seems to be deleted.
When I try to input her name into the 9/11 Truth Movement wikipedia page,
someone keeps deleting her name and any links to her research or court
cases!This is UNFAIR, and
this is not what Wikipedia is all about. Censorship and Unfairness are NOT
what Wikipedia is about.Abraham

addition, 3 of the 5 references used are from EXTERNAL SOURCES. 1 is from a
government website, and 2 are from Academic Universities. The only 2 sources
used from her website are links to the legal documents she has scanned in.Please
help Wikipedia, people are trying to censor Dr. Wood, and administrators
have deleted the Wikipedia page that I created! This is unfair!Abraham

Response: Copyright Violation:I
am also NOT in Copyright violation, because her information and photos are
FAIR USE and are posted Publicly, but in addition to that, she has also
given me permission personally, and will be emailing the Wikipedia
Permission email to alert them to this within 48 hours.Abraham

Endorse-
text taken from "public websites" is still considered to be copyrighted,
fair use does not apply here. The page even has a copyright symbol on it
(but note that copyright applies whether that symbol is present on the
webpage or not, unless the site clearly states that its text is free for use
under applicable policies.) That the copyright holder is going to email
Wikipedia does not mean that copyright is invalidated. The permission must
be there first. So that reason for deleting the article is valid. Concerning
the other reason, notability, the AfD from 2007 ended in a consensus that
the individual did not meetWP:PROFat
the time, and the article that was deleted today did in fact not include
sources that showed that notability is present now. You needsources
that meet Wikipedia's standard of reliability. --bonadeacontributionstalk09:23,
9 April 2010 (UTC)
Response: Notability based on Sources:Here
are the sources used, showing that she has accomplished far more than many
9/11 researchers and scientists that have their own Wikipedia pages, since
she is the ONLY 9/11 researcher to ever file her evidence in a court of law,
and one of her cases made it all the way to the SUPREME COURT:
and I
planned on adding more references but the page was deleted within 24 hours, and
I am a very busy medical student.Abraham

The three external sources were[1](nothing
about her, just a link to her Ph D dissertation),[2](a
page listing faculty, verifying that she was an assistant professor) and[3],
which shows that her requests for correction have been denied. These aren't
sources about her, but links to things she has done but which have not
received any attention. The sources are reliable, but are not independent
reports about her. No sources have been provided to show that she has been
the focus of significant attention in newspapers, books from reputable
publishers, (truly) scientific journals, TV documentaries, ... She has
written a dissertation, had a job that no one apart from her employee has
remarked on, and has made an unsuccessful "request for correction" which is
publicly available but which again has not received any outside attention.
Solving the copyright problem will not help you at all, any article about
here with those or similar sources will be deleted again and again.Fram(talk)

- the sources are worthless in determining notability and leaving the copyright
problems aside, the article would be deleted anyway. --Cameron

Response: NOTABILITY:Other
9/11 researchers have also filed RFC's which were denied, yet they have
Wikipedia pages! Heck, David Ray Griffin who is studies THEOLOGY has a
Wikipedia page, just because he has gotten some media attention, even though
he isn't even qualified to research 9/11! I had not gotten the chance to
post more sources because the page was deleted so rapidly!
Response: Legal Efforts:More
important than the RFC filing is Dr. Wood's Qui-Tam whistleblower case,
because it made it all the way to theSUPREME
COURT. Of course it has not received mainstream media coverage, we are
talking about 9/11 here!
Abraham Hafiz Rodriguez09:35,

Response: Media Coverage:Recent
media coverage from March 2010 shows that Dr. Wood's research and legal
efforts are finally starting to be recognized by the media. I cannot post
the link because The Examiner is blacklisted by Wikipedia for some reason.
The article is by TheExaminer and is titled'Scientist:

2. Dr.
Wood was invited to present her research on the very popular radio show, 'We
Ourselves', hosted by Ambrose Lane. The radio station is WPFW 89.3 - Washington,
D.C. The interview is all over the internet, but a direct link to it is here:http://www.weourselves.org/wpfw/052308.htmlI
planned on posting these things later on, but the page was deleted so rapidly!

Wood was invited to present her research on a very popular radio and TV show
known as "Edge Media TV" See the interview here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_4NrRioRPU
5. Dr.
Wood recently was presented her research on 'The Power Hour' radio show hosted
by Genesis Communications Network. This is a very large radio show. The
interview happened just a few weeks ago.

The Examiner is not a reliable source. It is not a website with a
reputation for fact-checking and accuracy; if it was it would not have
people like Alfred Lambremont Webre writing for it. Glorified blog,

What about the other Mainstream sources I mentioned?
Question:Why
are so many people that have done so much less for our country able to have
Wikipedia pages but Dr. Wood isn't? She is the ONLY person to have filed her
9/11 evidence with a court-of-law. She is the only person to create a law
suit to bring about truth and justice regarding 9/11. The case made it all
the way to the Supreme Court! She is fighting for all of us here in America,
and she deserves a Wikipedia page, don't you agree?
Seeing as
Dr. Judy Wood is the only person to have filed her evidence with the courts in
pursuit of truth and justice, and also considering that one of her court cases
made it all the way to the Supreme Court, I think it is fairly obvious that the
following information needs to be included in the 9/11 Truth Movement Wikipedia
Page:
2. I also
think that her name needs to be included in the Adherents of the 9/11 Truth
Movement, especially considering she is the only person to actually take legal
action, in addition to scientific research, in pursuit of 9/11 truth.
3. I also
think that her legal efforts, especially the Supreme Court case, needs to be
included in the History of the 9/11 Truth Movement, as it was the only
court-case ever filed in pursuit of 9/11 Truth, and it made it all the way to
the Supreme Court.
In 2007, Dr. Judy Wood filed several legal cases against the National
Institute of Standards & Technology's (NIST) contractors for science fraud, and
legal requests that NIST’s fraudulent data gets reexamined.[16]The
filings in these legal cases included Requests For Corrections (RFC) based on
the Data Quality Act[17],
and Qui Tam whistle-blower cases.[18]Dr.
Wood is the only 9/11 researcher who has submitted evidence to the courts in
pursuit of the truth.
These are obviously supposed to be on this Wikipedia page, so I truly question
the motives of those who are deleting this information. Her effort speaks for
itself, and this information needs to be included in the 9/11 Truth Movement
Wikipedia page for the sake of honesty and accuracy.
So, what you have read, is my attempt to create a valid, credible,
well-resourced page to present Dr. Judy Wood and her research. The page was
deleted within 24 hours, for 2 reasons. I was told I did not have copyright
permission to use her information, even though Dr. Wood has given me permission
via email, and had offered to email Wikipedia’s permissions department to alert
them to the fact that I did have permission. The other reason that was given is
that she was not notable, even though Dr. Wood is the ONLY 9/11 researcher ever
to have filed her evidence with the courts in pursuit of the truth, and one case
even made it all the way to the Supreme Court.
As a result of this, I tried to appeal the deletion of the page, by creating
a Deletion Review / Appeal request in the appropriate section of the Wikipedia
help boards. There was no success, as I was repeatedly told that Dr. Wood was
not “notable”, and that I was violating copyright laws by posting her
information, even though I had her permission.
Next, I attempted to add some quick and important information about Dr. Wood
to the ‘9/11 Truth Movement’ Wikipedia page, because her name was not mentioned
even mentioned, not one single time. As predicted, her name was deleted off the
page within 24 hours, and any attempts to re-add the information to the page
were always met with re-deletion. They would not even allow her name to be
mentioned, let alone her very important Supreme Court case. A moderator told me
to start a discussion about it if I wanted to convince others why I thought her
name and her research should be mentioned on that page, so I did.
My attempt to start a discussion to find out why Dr. Judy Wood, her research,
or her Supreme Court case, were not mentioned one single time on the ‘9/11 Truth
Movement’ Wikipedia page, was also blocked within 24 hours of creating it. Even
though I was told to create a discussion about it, but surprisingly, even my
discussion was deleted, and instead, I was referred to my original ‘Judy Wood’
page Deletion Review / Appeal discussion. Basically, not only were several
Wikipedia moderators blocking me from creating a credible, well-sourced ‘Judy
Wood’ Wikipedia page, but they were also blocking me from even adding her NAME
to the ‘9/11 Truth Movement’ Wikipedia page. Then, when I was told to start a
discussion about what I felt should be added to the ‘9/11 Truth Movement’ page,
my discussion was ALSO blocked, and I was told to refer to the discussion
regarding the deletion of the ‘Judy Wood’ page for reasons as to why her name
was ‘not notable enough’ to be added to the ‘9/11 Truth Movement’ page.
This bothers me.
Sincerely,
Abraham Hafiz Rodriguez

Here is an additional comment from one of the moderators that I tried to
discuss this with on a more individual basis:
“I
would give Judy Woods a rest, seriously. Your own credibility over the topic has
put her and you on the radar of a number of people and even if you came up with
really good references from the NYTimes or Bloomberg you wouldn't be able to
create the article anyways - the name is has been blocked for a while. If you
really want to pursue it then I'd suggest creating a private page of your own to
develop it. Nobody would fiddle with it and you can craft it until its
acceptable. I could help you there. But the comments of the others are still
very valid.--Hooperbloob(talk)
