Location where this person was last seen

Hi John, Do you know where this person Jacques Vergès disappeared from and was last seen before turning up many years later? I need this information so I can add a category to his article. Davidgoodheart (talk) 06:35, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

@Davidgoodheart: No, this was just one of the thousands of articles in which I fixed a spelling mistake. -- John of Reading (talk) 17:15, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Do you know anyone who might know the answer to this? Davidgoodheart (talk) 17:18, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

@Davidgoodheart: Looking at the article history, A.S. Brown (talk · contribs) has been adding to the article for years, so may know where to look for sources. -- John of Reading (talk) 17:25, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

@Davidgoodheart: Thank you John for mentioning me. I'm very flattened. David, this is tricky because it is hard to very reliable sources about M. Vergès and where he was from 1970 to 1978. The documentary Hotel Terminus interviewed a number of people who knew Vergès and as well Vergès himself, and it is mentioned that he was either in Lebanon or in Switzerland. Vergès was close to a wealthy Swiss financer, François Genoud, who was very active in supporting far-right causes and seems to paid Vergès's legal bills when he defended Klaus Barbie in 1987. I don't know if that qualifies as a RS. Sadly, the university liberies are closed, so I cannot access them at present. In February 1970, he left for France for Spain, and then vanished. On page 120 of The The Costliest Pearl China's Struggle for India's Ocean by Bertil Lintner, London: Hurst, says that the most people that Vergès was either in Cambodia (he attended university with Pol Pot in the 1950s) or in Lebanon. This article Against the Law by Stephanie Giry states that went to to China and that he worked alongside the terrorist Carlos the Jackal. All that can said for certain is that Vergès was last seen in Paris in February 1970. You can use the article as a source for that statement. I've see if I find more sources, but unfortunately I don't think there is a definite RS saying precisely where he was and what he was doing. Best wishes and Happy Easter! --A.S.

Thanks

Thank you for the correction of the typo on the Mark Aguhar page, not sure how it was there for so long! Good work in catching it. Jooojay (talk) 16:15, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi

Hi John how are you? I hope you are having a great time. I hope you remember me[1][2]. I needed some help regarding adjusting tables. I was editing Draft:Warina Hussain and I am unable to adjust the table in the Filmography section. What I basically wanted to do is to adjust the 6 songs in one section of the year 2018. Can you please help? I will list the name of music videos which I want to add in the section of year 2018.

• Akh Lad Jave
• Tera Hua
• Rangtaari
• Dholida
• Love will take over
• She move it like

Thanks! LearnIndology (talk) 13:34, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

@LearnIndology: I'm well, thanks. I've made an edit to the draft - is that what you wanted? I've made various other changes too. -- John of Reading (talk) 14:31, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
