Operation Power Geyser

Not notable, possible hoax. A google search for "operation power geyser" returns only one hit. The article should be deleted, unless there is evidence that the article's content is true. Jersyko talk 15:23, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

• Not a hoax on my part. The name appeared on the front page of the Washington Post, I then entered into my Vast Database of operational codenames. It is in my book on the subject. If someone hoaxed me, I would be pleased to corrected. Also, I only entered this stub as the name appears in someon else's article I was looking at today. (Darn if I can remember it though! Let me look!) Paul, in Saudi 16:08, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Could you provide a source for the Washington Post front page mention? A search of their website produced zero hits. After more google searching, the only mentions I can find of this supposed operation are on wikipedia and conspiracy-minded blogs. - Jersyko talk 18:18, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Now I remember, the name appeared a red link on the List of operations and projects (military and non-military) article. I was doing some cleaning and posted the information from the Vast Database. To say that more clearly, someone else posted the name and I just turned the link blue. Paul, in Saudi 16:13, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • That works for me. The article is actually titled "Commandos See Duty on U.S. Soil In Role Redefined by Terror Fight", however. - Jersyko talk 19:13, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
