Thanks for the reply. So Liberia traditionally used miles for distance. What about measurements of weight and volume? I'm curious because I wonder whether Liberia used the UK or US system of units (US units have the same names but different values, with the exception of the mile. A US gallon, for example, is 3.7l where as a British gallon is 4.5l) Seabhcán 14:49, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, didn't think of mentioning those units... Given Liberia's historic ties to the USA, US Gallons, quarts, etc were and probably still are standard units of measure. Rice however is sold by the non-standard "cup", which varies from seller to seller!

Since war has disrupted so much of Liberia's economy, they are adopting more of the standards of the countries around them rather than be being the island they once were. (I should not fail to mention that Sierra Leone, with its ties to the UK, previously used the Imperial gallon, mile, and so forth.) I suspect that liters are gaining popularity, and I'm sure marketers will try to take advantage of people's unfamiliarity with it to cheat. I apologize for my cynicism, I've lived in Liberia too long. Alan J Shea 15:28, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Its very intersting to talk to someone who knows that country. I have read a little on the unique history of Liberia but I know very little about how things are there now. I am interested in part because there are troops from my country (Ireland) there as part of the UN. How long did you live there? Seabhcán 15:39, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Re: Undoing Rollback on Pegasus Mail

It's ok? I thought it was a vandal that blanked a large section of the page. But you can modify whatever you like in the artical. I try to catch vandalism only where I find it. Have a nice day. Happy editing:) King Lopez ^Contribs 07:07, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Liberian Geography

I was wondering in your recent edit to Liberian Geography that you meant Guinée Forestière (with the Pic de Fon forest) instead of Guinea Highlands, I may be mistaken though my 5 maps say otherwise. I also reworded the Mount Nimba problem; please check if you like it. -Kain Nihil 12:44, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Airport terminals

As I stated on the talk page, it would be great to have both the old and new terminals. Please let me know when you have them uploaded :) WhisperToMe (talk) 08:25, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Artesunate/amodiaquine

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Artesunate/amodiaquine, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Ushau97 (talk) 13:20, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Alan, just so you know, it is not appropriate to move an article by copying the text from one title to another. See Help:How to move a page for details. I have declined the speedy deletion of this page, and moved the article that was at ASAQ to artesunate/amodiaquine. I think everything should be in order now. Regards, -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:30, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Edgar181, thanks for cleaning that up for me. I'm used to using another wiki, so forgot about the difference in how to move a page in media wiki. -- Alan (talk) 15:40, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
