No one is using my account except for me. My account is NOT being shared. I am acting as editor for the page in question which is being compiled by one or more people. Gailsedotes (talk) 11:16, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How about Template:Cite video. I can make up an example:

<ref>{{cite video |people= [[Williams, Brian]]|date=2011-11-08 |title= [[NBC Nightly News]]|medium= Television production|publisher=[[NBC Universial]] |location= [[New York City]] |time=:3:52}}</ref> CTJF83 17:46, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

dealing with tags

A - too few opinions - tag has been placed upon the Libyan Hostage Situation 1984 article which is a reporting of the available facts. Every point refers back to a news item by BBC, ITN, The Times, and numerous other journalistic sources. Gaddafi is dead, his government in disarray... How do you report unavailable counter opinions? Seriously - how is that information from a collapsed government and burnt and destroyed records be represented? Plus the Gaddafi regime refused to cite or discuss the incident for over 24 years?

I think you've done the right thing by posting this at the article talk page. You may get a response from Dennis Brown (talk · contribs) who added the tag yesterday, and then you can discuss it there. -- John of Reading (talk) 12:40, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for replying! and if I don't hear from him? can I remove the tag after a decent space of time say 5 working days? Gailsedotes (talk) 18:02, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If no one replies after 5 days, then yes, that would be fair. But I've dropped a note at User talk:Dennis Brown so you should hear from him soon. -- John of Reading (talk) 18:10, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
