Sorry, my mistake, I was clicking on the "edit" link that takes you to the DYK time template page, which is protected. Didn't realize it was transcluded onto the errors page, sorry :) Gatoclass (talk) 08:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Infobox Ship to TFD?

Hi Woody. Seems like {{Infobox Ship}} fell through the cracks and wasn't nominated at TFD. Would you mind popping it up over there? Thanks so much. Haus^Talk 15:41, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: How to hack flash games

Hi there. You speedied this article earlier today. I just wanted to let you know that someone opened an AfD on it just before you deleted it. I went ahead and did a nonadmin close. Take care, Xymmax (talk) 17:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Image help

Thank you for the graphics section. It had been a while since I looked in the Logistics page, so I was not aware. There is another image that needs fixing, but it has a different issue. Cheers--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 21:39, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

British support to Iraq -- help

Thanks much. There is a very good and very frustrating page at http://www.caat.org.uk/publications/countries/iraq-1991-briefing.php. They bring up what appear to be many specific instances, but they only will give cites like "Guardian/date" or "Hansard/date", which isn't enough to find them online for citing properly. Some, from the eighties, may not be online at all.

If you can look at the CAAT article and come up with any usable citations for what appear to be the more important transactions with Iraq, I would be very grateful.

As far as the graphics, I'm reasonable with flowchart style graphics --- actually, I can draw acceptably on paper and scan it, but don't have any good freehand drawing tools on my computer. The problem is more conceptualizing the process by which Iraq set up front companies, bought into legitimate firms, etc. Matrix Churchill probably should be my first attempt, as, relatively speaking, it's less complex than the others.

To look at User:Hcberkowitz/Sandbox-West German support for Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war#H+H Metalforming, you'll get a sense of why I feel like I need to draw in at least four or five dimensions. What is in the draft article is mostly copied text I want to paraphrase, and also use other sources. For example, I just found a long discussion on the eventual trial of the H+H principals, which shows even more complexity of the Iraqi games. I'm still reading it, and now discovering he also represented defendants at Neue Magdeburger, which were subcontractors to H+H. As with many clandestine situations, a number of the participants, I suspect, were not fully aware of the ramifications until they were so deep that there was no clean escape.

French support for Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war#maraging steel is another complex one, involving organizations in nine countries and the Jersey Islands. I'm literally trying to draw these out.

A while ago, I did some timelines for NSA in Vietnam in SIGINT in Modern History, and thought those were complex. These are orders of magnitude messier. I may put some early versions in Commons, or perhaps on a site of mine.

FAC copyedit request - Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Cyclone Elita

I have an article on FAC, and it's going well so far. Do you think you could give the article a quick look to make sure it is good? Thanks if you can. If not, it's cool. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:34, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Image:Bundjalungwelcome.jpg

You can't delete it because someone retouched it. Funny how I asked for it to be deleted *before* some guy took it upon himself to retouch it. In other words, any request I make to have something *I* own to be deleted is a lottery where I may or may not be granted my humble request. Delete the damned picture please - it's crap and I regret uploading it to begin with. Peter1968 (talk) 23:40, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

uncontactable image owners

Would you know what happens with image copyright if the owner of the image can not be contacted, but it is available online?--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 09:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Re:DYK

Sure. 'Tis a good point you make. I inclined to try to take from the lower parts, but so far have been choosing based on interestingness [to me] and trustability. You wanna migrate some yourself? :) Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 19:45, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

DYK

On 7 April, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Douglas Alexander Graham, which you recently nominated. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

JSTOR

Woody, would you mind helping me with a JSTOR request? I'm looking for R. W. Johnson, "Sekou Touré and the Guinean Revolution," African Affairs 69, no. 277 (October 1970). Very much appreciate your help. Best regards Buckshot06 (talk) 01:55, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Can you help m out with another - same topic? 'Elise Forbes Pachter, "Contra-Coup: Civilian Control of the Military in Guinea, Tanzania, and Mozambique," Journal o' Modern African Studies 20:4 (1982)'? Much appreciated. Buckshot06 (talk) 02:46, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Re Manchester International Airport

Do you really have to be so patronizing and rude? As a new member I find it very difficult to put any sort of point across and it's usually down to admin that this is the case. I appreciate you want to keep Wikipedia standard high but please atleast think about taking other peoples thoughts, ideas and values into consideration. 19:11, 8 April 2008
