[edit] File no longer available
{{helpme}}
I wrote this article starting from a FIFA document I saved on my computer some time ago. The name of the document is BusanDraw_All-1.pdf. Doing a Google search will eventually lead you to this link: http://www.fifa.com/wc/2002/draw/BusanDraw_All-1.pdf The file is no longer available on the FIFA.com page. However, I managed to find an explanation of the seeding system in an PlanetWorldCup.com article. The pdf file contains the following key phrase: "Virtually identical to the method used in 1997" - referring to the seeding formula. I'd like to write an article on 1998 FIFA World Cup seeding but I would have no source for it. Any ideas? Edgar 12:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- The Wayback Machine has an archived copy of the PDF file you found here. The file has that phrase and should be just fine to use as a source. This page provides information about how to cite such archives and on how to use the machine for future reference. :-) Hersfold (t/a/c) 18:33, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Source for your edits on Father's Day
Hello there! Would you please indicate the source on which you based this edits on: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Father%27s_Day&diff=199341768&oldid=199322653 The reason for which I'm asking you is that I too come from Romania, but this is the first time I hear that 1) Romania celebrates the Father's day a day after the 8th of March (which is what you marked) and 2) Romania celebrates the Father's day at all (it was marked on the 5th of May before you changed it). I'll try to check the history in order to see who added this information in the first place, but if you have a source I would be very interested to check it! Thank you very much! Sincerely yours, --Vlad|-> 16:14, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to bring back my edits. Or not.
May 5th is a publicity stunt by Bergenbier. In 2007 they set up a site [7] and chose May 5th as Men's day. Why May 5th? It's pretty obvious... It's the first Saturday after May 1th -> barbecue, mici and, of course, beer.

I only noticed today this edit of yours: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AVlad&diff=199796776&oldid=194143641 Next time (if you also do Timisoara :p) you can remove the TODO altogether from my user page (but maybe you could also leave me a note on my talk page :D) --Vlad|-> 15:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
