Re: Windmill Hill

Thanks for sorting out this red link! :)

I'm afraid I don't have any more of that map, Leslie Linares sent it to me as I was after a reference for Martin's Path which is usually mistaken for being part of Mediterranean Steps. It would be great if we had the complete map as it was published in 1961 which means Crown Copyright has only just expired, probably making it the most recent military map we could use... --Gibmetal 77 11:27, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Gibraltar by-election, 2013

Hey, need some advice. I wanna nominate this for DYK and it would be nice to have it show up on the day of the election, 4 July. Being a Gibraltar article, I'm not sure if the nom should go under the Gib holding area or the 4 July holding area? Thanks, --Gibmetal 77 21:59, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

I'd list it under both, and also under the date on which you've nominated it (yes, that makes three listings, I'm afraid!). Prioryman (talk) 22:31, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Done, thanks! --Gibmetal 77 22:47, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
