If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf ^melmac 12:45, 20 September 2005 (UTC).[reply]

Falklands / Malvinas

I'll quote myself :-) Please do not hesitate to ask for explanation/excuses, whatever User:Ejrrjs says What? 20:24, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dai. The main reason: it has been part of the mandatory schooling curriculum since a long long time (Argentine never relented its claim). You are taught that the islands ARE Argentine, and were taken by force by the Evil Empire.

The second reason: it was the only war Argentina took part in the 20th century (letting aside the declaration of war to the Axis in the very last minutes of IIWW and the participation in UN Blue Helmets). I was too young to be drafted, but I knew people who died there from my own town and met several veterans afterwards.

Sooner or later I'll write Falklands War#Cultural impact in Argentina.

So I think it's quite simple. What I really don't get is why would anybody else care! (but the islanders, ça va de sois).
