Karameh

I might have forgotten my Lord of the Rings lore, but this is a battle I have never heard of. Delete Rewritten with proper info: Keep Rasmus (talk) 07:38, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Actually, an earlier version of this article discusses a real 1968 battle[1] which occured in the Jordanian village of Al-Karameh (sometimes called Karameh). Revert to that earlier version, cleanup, and keep. -- BD2412 ^talk 19:33, 2005 Jun 7 (UTC)
- What does "Karameh was a big battle between the Elves and Dwarves of Middle Earth" have to do with Jordan? I don't think there was a Tolkien character named Big Nose George, either. Delete. RickK 20:16, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
  - OK, BD2412 showed me that there was a real verson buried amongst the drek in the article's history. I have reverted to that version and re-added the vfd header. I change my vote to keep and cleanup. Rick K 21:00, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Kappa 21:07, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep. What's weird is that the same IP that started the real article also created the LotR one...strange. func(talk) 21:21, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- And also made several vandalistic edits besides the complete nonsense rewrite. Rick K 22:00, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)

Comment: The buried actual version is a copyvio from [2]. Rasmus (talk) 07:10, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Use as a source and rewrite - RL confrontation - Skysmith 08:11, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Rewritten to remove copyvio - and POV. :-D -- BD2412 ^talk 13:42, 2005 Jun 8 (UTC)
