My first attempt at edits to an article, so be kind. I'm not clear on what exactly "needs to be updated" so I'll 1. format some of ISAF and the illegal opium economy in the past tense, 2. add news conference regarding how ISAF will act against facilities and facilitators supporting the insurgency, and 3. put brief note in the time line about #2., and 4. remove the "needs to be updated" SunKing2 (talk) 21:35, 10 October 2008 (UTC)SunKing2[reply]

Ottawa rail relocations

Your recent edit may have missed the mark but did raise an important point. The reference to "rail relocation" which you edited was intended to refer to the movement of the rail lines and Ottawa's main station out of the downtown core to its current location at Riverside in accordance with the Greber plan. Your edit points out another unrelated but equally important event, the connection of the city to major rail lines in the late nineteen century. I have made further edits accordingly. Thanks for your contributions. Newwhist (talk) 01:00, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello my friend - Question is there more we can trim or anything that we should mention in the history section of the Ottawa article?? Ongoing talk at Talk:Ottawa#Section heading.Moxy (talk)

Victoria Island (Ottawa River)

Hi SunKing2, I like your contributions on Victoria Island. I have always thought about starting an article for that too. You started it as a separate article but then merged into Chaudière Falls. I think it would be better as separate article because it really is a separate geographical entity. There is so much other info and history that can be added that is not related to the falls. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 01:57, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
