Check every reference. In the history section alone, we had "Herbert Brownell" in here who was not the right Brownell. Unfortunate things like that get copied forward untold times on the internet.
Updates possible for Terrorist Attacks prevented by Domestic Surveillance section. Cases that possibly involved the NSA can be found here....List of unsuccessful terrorist plots in the United States post-9/11. Further research must be done to determine which cases the NSA took part in.
Get ready for B class.
Update possible regarding surveillance under Obama administration to include tapping of German Chancellor's phone. Also, DDoS attack on October 25, 2013 in response to US spying on friends/allies.
"The Wikimedia Foundation, the organization that runs Wikipedia, last month asked the (Supreme Court) to hear arguments on its lawsuit over the National Security Agency’s warrantless surveillance of Americans’ international phone and email communications. The organization, represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, has been fighting the NSA in court over such “upstream surveillance” for the past seven years."

"Wikimedia contends that given this surveillance, it cannot ensure the confidentiality of the tens of millions of people who read, edit and communicate about Wikipedia, one of the largest repositories of human information to ever exist."
Aeryn Palmer, legal director of compliance at the Wikimedia Foundation, said...“When we think about what we might be collecting from anyone who visits the site, when we think about how we do research with our readers or with our contributors to better understand what sorts of features they might like to see and how they want the projects to evolve, we’re continually thinking about how we can best protect their privacy,”
Neutral I'm neutral on the idea. When it comes to a sub article with boring details which independent sources don't cover, I would never delete an article solely for lack of such. But this looks like it would fit fine into the higher level article. North8000 (talk) 20:05, 20 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support -- to my knowledge we do not split this out for any other USG agency, and they're lacking sufficient coverage and independent notability to merit individual articles. ⇒SWATJesterShoot Blues, Tell VileRat!02:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
So it's been open for almost 8 weeks and 4 of the 4 respondents say "let's merge" and so I think that there is a consensus for merging. I don't think that there is a consensus to say "should not be allowed to be an article" but IMO that's a moot point. North8000 (talk) 20:45, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
