I am not Zscout370 but I am assuming he hid this text because he fears it may be a copyright violation. The footnotes you provided at the end, are those from the work where you got the material. Is the writing your own words? It doesn't seem quite like the rather breezy, chatty style you affect in talk and on for example the radio station article... if you can provide better sourcing that might help. Please advise of any questions. Note also that this might be a good article section for the main Channel Tunnel article instead of standalone. Engaging authors of that article for help might be a good approach. ++Lar: t/c 14:09, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Regarding talk page messages
Regarding this edit - don't. It's showing off, and extremely bad form. You have already broken quite a few guidleines on Wikipedia, as well as crushed Wikiquette quite conclusively - If you want to be a good user, take my advice, and please, please try and keep a low profile!

- I apologise for the reverts, but I was under the impression that the copyvio hadn't been cleared up - it wasn't mentioned in your edit suummary at all. In regard to your comment on my talk page, though, I can assure you my knowledge of England and France is excellent, as I'm Half English, half French - and with a degree in European History. I'm intrigued though - you seem to be quite an expert yourself if you have books like the ones you mentioned lying around! Are you English yourself? HawkerTyphoon 02:44, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- The reason I'm worried is that I have Memoirs of the Duke of Saint Simon on the Reign of Louis XIV and the Regency in my loft, insured for £350 - where the hell did you get your hands on one of those in the US? They're hard enough to get hold of here! Not even my National University library had a copy, so you can see why we're a bit worried about copyright violations!

OMG really? I have them right here. they are Green volumes with gold lettering on the spine. I had no idea they were worth money. My dad gave me a lot of books, I guess I'm kinda spoiled.Courtney Akins 03:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
