Talk:Airborne March

Untitled
I do not understand why the page of the Airborne March should not appear in UK version of Wikipedia. The Airborne March is a non commercial commemorative event related to the Battle of Arnhem (a significant historic event), which took place in September 1944 in the Netherlands. This event is visited and attended by several hundreds of British veterans, soldiers and cadets every year and they have requested the organization to put information about the Airborne Commemorative activities onto the UK pages of Wikipedia. The Dutch Wikipedia holds the same information since 2004. Please visit the website www.airbornewandeltocht.nl and find out before you judge. If someone could explain it to me I would be gratefull.

I have edited the page in such a manner that the historic event explains itself more and the article becomes less 'commercial', as I understand is the main reason why there is objection against this page. What the editor objects to is that apparantly there appears to be quite a difference between the Dutch and the UK version of Wikipedia. The first edit of the article was an exact translation of the Dutch version, which, as stated above has been on Wikipedia since 2004 and never commented about its contents. Furthermore I still stand by above mentioned arguments. Annerobe

 * Annerobe, some independent sources would help towards keeping the article. Have any books been written about the event or has it been covered in newspapers? Regards. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:44, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


 * MalcomlxL5, several references have been added by others (thanks, all, also for rewriting parts). Recently a Dutch writer has announced that he is writing a book on the Airborne March, which will be completed in September.--Annerobe (talk) 10:10, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
