Talk:Algeria

Honestly, I was looking for Algerian sources...

But I note that the country profile at Algeria's Washington embassy is copied from the CIA World Factbook. That seems to be the diplomatic equivalent of "some content might have come from Wikipedia."

Dave, I am hunting through my own files to see if I kept a copy of Trinquier's book. I do have the West Point handbook on revolution in French colonies, which has a chapter on Algeria -- let me know if you want me to email it.--Howard C. Berkowitz 02:06, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the collaboration. I noticed that the Algerian embassy was copying it's own facts straight from the CIA, which is certainly a circular argument. I added some overview sites to the external links page, and I have a history of Algeria here which I am slowly working through.

You might have guessed - Algeria was the first internationally recognized state alphabetically that didn't have an article. I'm hoping to slowly work through the alphabet as a sideline to some of the other articles I have been working on. David Finn 02:28, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
