DYK

would be on the main page if it had some inline cites Victuallers (talk) 11:57, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What are they? Hawkeye7 (talk) 13:17, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Footnoted references like the ones the article has 11 of. I'm not sure what the background is here, but the citing seems perfectly adequete. --Nick Dowling (talk) 09:38, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I've been waiting for the 'Battle' and 'Aftermath' sections to show up before I cook up a hook for DYK. Both sections are still empty. Obviously incomplete articles shouldn't be featured, even if the rest of the article is well written and referenced. --PFHLai (talk) 23:43, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on it. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:52, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 01:55, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looking good. A re-assessment is in order. BTW, I've just nominated this article for DYK. --PFHLai (talk) 06:22, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stable version

Hi all, there is a new stable template that I have placed on this talk page. The purpose of this template, as explained in the documentation and in a short discussion at the village pump, is to help against article rot (the deterioration of quality that can occur in articles), and to keep a link to a stable version, which will be reliable, and not so prone to those errors, vandalism, and erroneous information that can crop up at any moment. It has no effect on the actual article, and can be upgraded/changed at any time - ideally to reflect a newer, improved stable version. This being said, if you are against using it on this talk page (some have found it intrusive), feel free to discuss or remove it - I believe that it will benefit some articles more than others, and I accept that not all will see a need for it on each article.
