Time

nice article but please express the time in a less awkward format. eleven o'clock is written 11:00 please not 11.00. Thanks!!

Fixed. You could've done that by yourself using the edit button. —Anas ^talk? 22:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doh! I don't know who complained above - didn't sign... but I put my hand up for putting in the original clunky time format (is it so difficult to read? - fullstop is easier to type than a colon!). Anyway, Anas thanks for clearing up my mess. Stephen Kirrage^{talk - contribs} 23:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, brother. Thanks for a great article! :-) —Anas ^talk? 23:41, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Map

Please edit the map; in 1941 the Golan Heights weren't occupied by Israel which yet didn't exist. --213.155.231.26 17:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I've blotted out Israel as well as a couple of lakes that were created by dams built in the post-war era. Stephen Kirrage^{talk - contribs} 18:53, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
