Thanks NGerda for a friendly welcoming message. Yes, in my opinion, Wiki is definitely a great community of "spare-time contributors" to the general "common good".

Re: A question

Hey Wayfarer,

I am not exactly sure to which article you were refering? Can you please specify and I will give my best to answer your question. --Dčabrilo 15:40, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Well I did link to it on your talk-page. It was that article about the Tomaž Humar's rescue. However, now I see that you just modified/shortened it to the "original" version, i.e. you just deleted all that new text regarding the Pakistani pilots. You see, I was comparing the two verisons' history and I thought that you totally shortened the article, making it a some kind of stub. It's my bad, sorry.
