Gachas, not an easy solution

The reason I removed the image from the infobox is for the sake of neutrality. Because the picture in it was of the gachas from la Mancha I have moved it further downwards. Then I have put the different gachas descriptions by region in alphabetical order. As you probably know there are strong regional rivalries in Spain and the article about gachas should not be seen as giving precedence to a regional variety, or to one of the ancient kingdoms, over the other. The Andalusian region is larger and has many more varieties of gachas, and probably consumption of gachas there is more prevalent, but even so I would not put an image of Andalusian gachas in the infobox. Is it OK in the circumstances to leave the infobox without pictures? Or maybe putting a text saying: "See pictures below". What do you think?- Xufanc (talk) 05:53, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

What about a map with the caption "Iberian peninsula:Areas where gachas consumption was widespread"? - Xufanc (talk) 06:24, 19 January 2009 (UTC) I have added a map to the infobox. I hope this settles things. Xufanc (talk) 08:33, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Ethiopian 961 is no longer on WikiProject Terrorism

Hi! I removed Ethiopian 961 from the Terrorism WikiProject. Here is why:

  • The men hijacking the plane intended to seek asylum/see people they knew
  • The men were not connected to any particular political organization

Hey there

Your edit summary for one of my edits was "Remove vandalism".

It was not vandalism but probably a little note I'd placed for myself in a very difficult edit, I accidentally probably left it there. As you see, I left my name on it, and probably just forgot to clean it up.

Thank you very much for helping to make this article better!

SimonTrew (talk) 21:10, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the misunderstanding then. Just saw some very strange markup in the citation tag and assumed it was vandalism. At least you didn't need it anymore. ^_^ --Mû??â?û?â?û 22:09, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Yeah no worries. I just needed to make the point in case anyone accused me ofvandalism.
I've spent about a week translating out of French wikipedia. The next major task is to do the references. I've cleaned a few typos I'd put in (sometimes you can't seem them when you are editing) and I imagine there are a lot more, but I think this article is coming along quite nicely.
The main difficulty now is there will be four editors attacking the references and they could all tread on each others' toes. I am a fan of incremental editing you have to make each edit make the article a little better than the last. SimonTrew (talk) 22:24, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
There are typos and style to clear up too, but I think major task is get the references done. I spent about a week doing them on Electric car that was about 100 (and all now RS and so forth). This should be easier I think, but not trivial. 22:29, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
