Map of Vicksburg, May 1863

The Duckport Canal was an unsuccessful military venture by Union forces during the Vicksburg campaign of the American Civil War. Ordered built in late March 1863 by Major General Ulysses S. Grant, the canal stretched from the Mississippi River near Duckport, Louisiana, to New Carthage, Louisiana, and utilized a series of swampy bayous for much of its path. It was intended to provide a water-based supply route for a southward movement against the Confederate-held city of Vicksburg, Mississippi. Manual digging was provided by 3,500 soldiers from Grant's army and was finished on April 12. The next day, the levee separating the canal cut and the Mississippi River was breached, and water flowed into the canal. Trees that had grown up in the bayous and falling water levels that reached as shallow as 6 inches (15 cm) at one point hampered the use of the canal, and the project was abandoned on May 4. After some inland maneuvering and a lengthy siege, Vicksburg surrendered on July 4. (Full article...)

Three links are individually bolded, none of the articles contain more info on the event. Maybe dot-com should be bolded instead? Or, better, the Nasdaq article updated.. — Sverdrup (talk) 10:03, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I just copied the text over. Everything will be fixed by the time this page goes live on the Main Page. --mav 15:14, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Fixed. --mav

Hitler armies invasion of the rest of Czechoslovakia

I suggest:

info: By some historicians, this is the begining of World War II (it was the first invasion of German armies) I used the text "to enter Prague" because after the Munich Agreement - Czechoslovakia had to give its essential territory to surrounding countries -so it was not yet "invasion of Czechoslovakia" - but just its rest. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.24.84.55 (talk • contribs) 15:09, 2006 January 19.

I think this happened on March 15 instead. -- PFHLai 17:22, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh my mistake - you´re right! Could it be added there? For example instead of test match of cricket? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Szalas (talk • contribs) 17:45, 2006 March 1 (UTC).
Thanks for the suggestion, I did that already. But it didn't bump off the cricket item. Wikipedia has many good cricket-related pages, but we rarely get the chance to feature any of them. I almost take off the Rolls Royce bit but it stayed for the 100th anniversary.... -- PFHLai 02:00, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Courrières mine disaster

This is of course a blatant plug for the page I am writing at the moment :) but this was Europe's biggest mining disaster by a long way (1099 dead), and it's the centenary this year. Big news in France this week... Physchim62 (talk) 12:34, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You don't want this on DYK ? (We shouldn't feature the same page on both.) -- PFHLai 19:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Posted. Hope you won't miss the DYK medal. --PFHLai 18:15, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
