[edit] Good article

There is an image of the "burning of long kesh" out there too, which might fit in the article. Fluffy999 15:46, 20 May 2006 (UTC)


Yeah, I was going to put that in but seeing that it was on fire we couldn't see much of it :-). I'd have no objection if you want to add it. They want me to source the second photo but I'm not sure how to edit the source information of a photo. Otherwise they'll remove it in 7 days. El Gringo 16:11, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Dont know either. I normally just reupload it with the same name, taking care to make sure the little drop down box doesnt have the focus when i hit submit- think thats what puts it off. The version I have of the burning is B&W with some kind of clothes line going across it. Fluffy999 17:38, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Saw the images got removed, im pretty sure that the top left one couldnve been HMSO copyright. Will keep an eye out for some of a decent quality. I enjoyed the article btw, but get the feeling someone will come along wanting to neutralise some of the power words used. Fluffy999 16:36, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
I agree, pretty good article, but the second half of the first section needs a lot more citations. Pauric 22:25, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Background

Why is the main body of the article called "Background"? In fact there is no background at all except a short sentence saying internment had been used before. For that matter, why is the article called "Operation Demetrius"? There is no detail at all in it about the operation, which took place (not began) on the morning of Monday, 9 August 1971 (there is actually slightly more detail in the "Background" section of the Maze article).
