Morocco and the MBT2000/VT1A
[edit]Hi there. Just letting you know that I reverted your edits. The citations you provided are not reliable or reputable, and do not meet Wikipedia's guidelines on citations. The first link you provided was to an irretrievable article, so it cannot be verified. The article is no longer available on the site, and it's not available as part of the Internet Archive. The second link, the Chinese article, only points to the "Global Strategic Network" which is another blog and appears to be largely filled with Chinese propaganda, and certainly wouldn't meet NPOV criteria, and the third link you provided is the same personal blog used earlier. I urge you to please read Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners before adding any more references. Do you not think that a reputable source like Jane's, or any of the other widely recognized defence news sites or columns would not have reported this by now if it were fact? Or a reputable Moroccan news source? Or the Moroccan government? A few pictures of tanks on transporters does not equal a sale, and so far that's all there is beyond a few blog posts claiming a sale of 150 tanks. - Jonathon A H (talk) 23:38, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
