[edit] Roland Garros (aviator)
Hi Omnijohn,
I found your remark at the Roland Garros talk page. However, you did not name your source there. Would you please? It would be so useful for enhancing the article. I have entered some souces at that talk page too.
For now, the Roland Garros article is very inaccurate at several points, but being a native dutch speaker, I will first correct the dutch Wikipedia text. The english article is probably an ill-translated version of the excellent german one, and the dutch and french pieces are even worse, sloppy translations of the already dubious english article.
However, it might well be summer before I can do much work on the English article. Feel free to edit the current article and enter your knowledge; the Wikipedia is yours as much as anyone else's. Anyway, you can't do too much wrong here. Even if you don't read german, you could check the german article for basic data: biographics, plane types etc. I am not an expert, but you can drop a message on my talk page either for discussion or for information about the german text. To get a near immediate answer, leave a message on the Roland Garros section of my dutch talk page. Please remember to sign with the four tildes ~~~~ or use the sign button above the edit screen.
