==Campaign==
The advertisements began in October 2004, and included full page ads in the [[New York Times]] and [[Wall Street Journal]], and 30 second cable television spots on [[CNN]], [[Fox News]], and [[ESPN]]. They implied that no plane flew in to the Pentagon, and that the [[World Trade Center]] towers were brought down by internal explosives, and referred viewers to the website 'reopen911'<ref name=Times/><ref name=Spiegel>{{de icon}}[http://service.spiegel.de/digas/servlet/find/ON=spiegel-330421 "Verschwörungstheorien : Dämmerzone zwischen Wahn und Wissen"] [[December 1]], [[2004]], [[Der Spiegel]].

Walter featured on ''[[Penn and Teller: Bullshit!]] Conspiracy Theories''. In the episode, he claims he has evidence that the hijacked flight on September 11 did not crash into the WTC and Pentagon but were landed secretly at a military base. He further believes that many of the "alleged" passengers are still alive and were working for the US government. He also claims that the WTC and Pentagon were hit by remote controlled "vehicles" and that explosives were planted on every floor of the WTC. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7216643725166640147|title=9/11 Deniers Speak - Exposing the 9/11 "Truth" Movement and Loose Change}}Google Video - Segment with Walters starts from 14:08.</ref>

Oilempire.us provides a critique <ref>[http://www.oilempire.us/towers.html]</ref> of the Walter's 2005 European 9/11 truth "megatour" -
{{col-end}}
::"A couple of people promoting nonsense were also included in the mix (apart from the fact that Walter's "reopen911" website had highlighted the claim that "nukes blew up the towers"). The worst offender against "truth" on the tour was Christopher Bollyn of the white supremacist [[American Free Press]], whose Barnes Review subsidiary claims the Holocaust was a hoax and Hitler deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. American Free Press works closely (by their own admission) with KKK leader [[David Duke]], who is not known for his accuracy or compassion. A fellow invitee to the tour who raised objections to the inclusion of white supremacy was disinvited from the tour."

==Walden Three==
Walter is also the founder of "Walden Three", a non-profit educational foundation in [[Santa Barbara, California]] that researches ideas for sustainable, environmentally friendly urban development. The foundation has developed a computer model for the ideal [[sustainable living]], [[carfree]] and [[fossil fuel]]-free city or society that produces almost all of the consumables, [[durable good]]s, structures, [[mass transportation]] and [[social security]] needed by its citizens. The model uses [[rational-emotive therapy]] (REBT), developed by [[Albert Ellis|Dr. Albert Ellis]].<ref name=Walden3>[http://walden3.org Walden Three] project home page</ref>

* Survey articles to make sure a balance is maintained between film and novel references where applicable; it should not be forgotten that the books came first (there are occasional articles such as [[List of James Bond henchmen]] that profess to reference the novels but only contain film-based information). Articles on characters that appear in both the novels and the films should always include information on their literary counterparts.
*Occasionally review all articles that have been placed on the [[:Wikipedia:WikiProject James Bond/Articles]] page for [[Special:Recentchangeslinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject James Bond/Articles|recent changes]].
*Cite sources on [[James Bond]]. This will greatly help it to featured status, the current Mission of the Week.
