Hi,
If you could get like, one more source for the NZARP article, that would be a sufficient amount of sources for me to justify removing the tag. Thanks! Bped1985 ( talk) 02:33, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for all the info Schwede. I am busy now with the holidays but after the break I will work on a new version of the entry on my user page. Thanks for setting that up. Choozy78 ( talk) 09:09, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
Hey, Choozy, welcome! Thanks for working on the Sierra Leone Civil War article. I've been around for more than four years, so if you have any questions about Wikipedia whatsoever, feel free to ask them on my talk page. Happy holidays, and happy editing! -- Ssilvers ( talk) 16:17, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
I think the lead is quite good now. Well done! The most obvious problem with the article now is that it still needs about a dozen more citations. But I have not read it closely (frankly this is not at all my area of expertise - I was an English major), and I am sure you can improve the prose and clarify what is there. Let me know if you need any technical assistance with the Wiki software, and happy editing! (also, Merry Christmas!) -- Ssilvers ( talk) 07:16, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
Just a quick note: When you changed the order of the two sentences, you left the last sentence unreferenced. If it's the same reference, then you can just move the ref to the end of the paragraph. If not, you need another ref for the last sentence. But, in any case, the last sentence is vague. Who called for who to intervene? All the best! -- Ssilvers ( talk) 23:13, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
Cool. You should check out Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces to see if Buckshot has any info or refs over there that might be useful to you. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 23:44, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
