I've just realised that at the moment this article is lifted word-for-word from Military history of Gibraltar during World War II. Who can help fix this? --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 21:35, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

... The situation, replied General Liddel on 19 July, "is that this is a fortress liable to heave and immediate attack and there should be no civilians here whereas there are 22,000." ...

Can anyone look at the reference to check? Nedrutland (talk) 13:12, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Now corrected; heave => heavy. Nedrutland (talk) 10:16, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@Victuallers: Hi. I see you are still editing. There is a ref tag error with name "c6" being refined for Garicia with multiple definitions for the page number(s). I went to fix it, but there is no way to figure out with certainty what you had intended when you created this article in March 2010. I was thinking about just changing it to be "Garcia, pp. 15-20", for each c6 citation without a specific page, but since you created it, you might remember. Please let me know what to do to fix the ref error. --David Tornheim (talk) 02:29, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi David, I sent back through the edit history and I don't think this is one of mine. If it is then I cannot offer any extra info. It is pleasing to see how the article has grown. Gibmetal77 is also an editor of this and he is local and also still edits. Maybe you could ask him? Cheers Victuallers (talk) 15:04, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
