[edit] Toyota War

I think the #Toyota War section has enough content to be split off into its own article, like what's been done to Opération Epervier and #Opération Epervier. It would certainly help with the length. Do others agree? Picaroon 19:17, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion Picaroon, it seems a great idea to me, and when I've finished the article I'll certainly create Toyota War. Have you any ideas to give me? I would really appreciate some criticism!--Aldux 22:35, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

The textual content is certainly well-written and well cited. But the visual content is lacking. Images, even if they aren't completely on topic (like, say, one of Deby or Qaddafi just standing around) would make it look better - and easier to read. Also, a map showing the path of the advance and retreat of Libyan forces might help. I'll go check Commons to see if anything looks like it'll be useful. Picaroon 22:41, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I've added an image, but there are two problems. One, the colors are a bit garish. Two, the rest of the article seems very unbalanced, because it has no images. Commons searches under "libya," "chad," and "aozou" didn't yield very much. I'll check articles on the politicians involved and see if the have anything. Picaroon 22:56, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lead

The lead could do with some work, but I don't know where to start :| - Francis Tyers · 14:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
