[edit] AfD

I don't understand why my article has been tagged for speedy deletion. The tag says it is patent nonsense. When I looked up the definition of 'patent nonsense' I just could not understand how it applied to my article. This is the message left on my talk page:

If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Corvus cornixtalk 22:16, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, so it may not be the best page ever, but it can and will get better, assuming it is not deleted. By all means tag it for clean-up, improvement, sourcing, whatever, but please don't delete it without giving me a reason.Jmackaerospace (talk) 22:55, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hong Kong handover

http://web.ripnet.com/~nimmos/under_the_kilt.html Here is the Black Watch incident in Hong Kong (along with more about 'kilt inspections'). There must be more about this in a reliable source someplace. Bridies (talk) 08:15, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
