Work is in progress still on the rewrite - I need to check more facts and source them. The rest of the proposed section will be added tomorrow. Southofwatford (talk) 16:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC)Reply


What I have changed in the rewrite:

The timeline is established – things are put in order so that the narrative of developments is coherent and in context.

Where I can find useful English language sources I have added them – none is really available on the detail of the explosives tests.

Speculative headlines and opinions have been removed but it is still left very clear that there were disagreements and what these disagreements are about.

I’ve added significant missing detail and facts on the results of the explosives tests. There is much more to this than just the question of nitroglycerine.

I don’t feel that it’s acceptable or useful to try and present the issue as just being between rival newspaper accounts – this article is not about the media - so I’ve left in the facts and the newspaper accounts are still sourced without it being presented as just a question of what a newspaper says. This is not just about the viewpoint of El Mundo versus that of El País. Southofwatford (talk) 15:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
