[edit]
Article Quality Page views Comments
Al-Qaeda B 200,810 In decent shape, but the "Refuge in Afghanistan" section needs cleanup. The "Regional activities" section used to be a mess, with material since put into subarticles, so it's better now. But, the section needs more substance now in summary style.
Hijackers Start 4,360 Needs lots of improvement.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Start 21,591 Not sure it's yet B-Class. Needs lots of improvement.
Osama bin Laden B 215,024 The article still needs overall improvements.
The Pentagon B 64,905 Article needs more sources.
Planning Start 1,828 Needs lots of improvement.
Ramzi Binalshibh Start 3,103 Needs lots of improvement.
Sayyid Qutb B 11,601 Qutb was an important influence for Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda. The article is mostly good shape, though it has an "Original research" maintenance tag in one section.
September 11, 2001 attacks GA 373,638 Page views = 180049 (old name) + 193,589 (new name)
War in Afghanistan (2001–present) B 82,976 Although there is a substantial amount of useful information, the article needs much work to bring up to standards. The task of adding sources and cleanup may be very time-consuming. Large portions of the article do not have inline citations. The article also has a lengthy "public opinion" section which is merely a list. The "Human rights abuses" section has been tagged with neutrality issues since December 2007. The article also seems not very up-to-date with more recent events in Afghanistan.

World Trade Center

Larry Silverstein B 7,358 This needs to be watched carefully for WP:BLP violations.
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey GA 8,318 Brought to GA status.
World Trade Center GA 239,906 Article has now passed as a good article, though there is a list of improvements needed, in working towards FA status.
