Hi, saw your request for Royal Navy pictures and thought I should mention that I've tracked one down for the second HMS ''Colossus'' from 1890; due to its age it should be public domain but of course I can't upload it yet because uploads are disabled at the moment.

Surprisingly, there are quite a few public domain photos of Royal Navy ships on the [http://www.history.navy.mil/ US Navy history site], I found a couple of the ''Dreadnought''s there. - [[User:Hephaestos|Hephaestos]] 17:33, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Thanks very much. I'm very pleased about that. At the moment i'm writing the [[HMS Cardiff]] article. It will probably take me a few hours due to me being easily distracted :-( I'll check the US Navy site out, save a few pictures and then go trawling google. Thanks again :-) [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] 17:39, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Hi, you've been adding some great RN stuff! (I would do some, but I have no detailed sources :-( - what have you been using?) For the articles that get big, like [[HMS Colossus]], it's useful to break them up by specific ship, a la [[HMS Warrior]] or the US Navy ships, that way links from battles and such can go directly to the right ship. Otherwise the reader has the disconcerting experience of clicking on a link in [[Battle of Jutland]] and seeing text on an 18th-century SOL - they may not realize that they need to click down.  Also it will be quicker downloading when the pictures get added - won't get irrelevant pics. [[User:Stan Shebs|Stan]] 19:33, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Thanks :-) Ok i'll try and do the one ship one page thing. Have to try and get used to that. Basically i've been using various sources on the net, digesting the info' and then using my own way of writing the article. I'll try and keep adding more [[Royal Navy|RN]] stuff, hopefully my fingers won't drop off :-) Oh by the way, I was kind of perplexed by the article [[NAeL Minas Gerais]]. In this [[BBC]] link [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2596007.stm HMS Vengeance] it says that it could be docked at [[Falmouth]]. It's dated 21st December 2002 so it quite new. [http://www.fleetairarmarchive.net/vengeance/Preservedcarriers.html Friends of the Vengeance Campaign] kind of contradicts it as well so has anyone got any new info' on [[HMS Vengeance]]? [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] 19:51, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

:One of the interesting emergent properties of a bunch of interlinked Wikipedia articles is that mistakes in the source materials start showing up as inconsistencies. I don't know what the answer is in this case, but in several cases I've gotten good info by simply emailing people and asking questions, or asking for their comments on the WP article.

Hi SoLando, you said you've lost your image editing CD. There's a freeware program I use for resizing or converting images. It's easy to use and does even allow batch conversions. It's at http://www.irfanview.com/ (It's free for non commercial use, despite being at a .com address). -- [[User:JeLuF|JeLuF]] 20:52, Jan 6, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll check it out now. That should really help :-) And Stan, i`ll try that and I`ll see if I can trawl the web for more news.  [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] 21:47, 6 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Hello. I liked the article you wrote on the [[King Edward VII class battleship]]
. It is very informative and compact. The image table was broken, so I fixed it, and reworded the intro a little. Thank for you enlightening me on this important part of naval history.

Amazing your depth of knowledge on military history. The Duke of Wellington's Regiment has been listed on the main page, as [[The Duke of Wellington's Regiment|Wellington's Regiment]], because that's all that could fit. Great work. -- [[user:zanimum]]

----

I'd like to second Stan's appreciation for your work on the RN. I have contributed some articles on that myself, but I don't have sources for quite a lot of the older ships beyond very general knowledge. At the moment, I'm making stub articles, with the standard table for RN ships, if I've written it and if it's necessary, a link to the appropriate MediaWiki message, a link to the MediaWiki stub message, and recently, a standard text hopefully linking to the general article on the ship name.

BTW, I've done a list of RFA ships, which includes similar stub articles, and also includes data on pennant numbers, which can be very difficult to find for RFA ships. There's a site hosted by BT Internet that, whilst not updated for a couple of years, is a fantastic sources on postwar RN and especially RFA ships. There's virtually nothing else like it on the internet for RFA vessels. [[User:David Newton|David Newton]] 21:08, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Sorry about that delay. You've certainly been a prolific contributor to Wiki, i'm rather slow at it, but nevermind. It's certainly good that people are getting info' on the British armed forces onto  Wiki', as a lot of sites that do have information on them are disapearing from the 'net, sadly. So Wiki' really  is becoming a good source of information for the British, indeed other nations armed forces, for people wanting to find out about them. Keep up the great work your doing [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] 06:21, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hi, SoLando.  Thanks for doing these regiment histories.  I've created  [[Template:Kings_Regiment_history]] which can replace the tables on each of the articles.  Do you have any objection to using it? [[User:Gsl|Geoff]] 06:56, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

----

Hi, I've no problems about you replacing the tables. Thanks for doing it. You've been doing fantastic work on WWI articles. Many of them have been a great help when trying to expand battle info' in ship or regimental histories.   [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] 07:09, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

: Done and thanks again.  I will do the same for your Wellington's Regiment series later. [[User:Gsl|Geoff]] 07:20, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I've made some changes to the [[Formidable class battleship]] article, noting the ''London'' subclass.  I'm no expert on ships so hopefully I haven't made a mess of it.  [[User:Gsl|Geoff]] 04:29, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Re: HMS Finsterre: it's done. I made it a redirect instead of deleting it, since linking to a ship by its year of launch is also correct. [[User:David Newton|David Newton]] 02:20, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

== Falklands Maps ==

You asked about the maps for the Falklands Goose Green battle, yes I do plan to make context maps for the other Falklands battles when I find sources that give good locations for the landmarks mentioned. Detailed maps are hard to find, but my shortlist is:

* [[Battle of Two Sisters]]
* [[Battle of Mount Longdon]]
* [[Battle of Wireless Ridge]]
* [[Battle of Mount Tumbledown]]

Hi. In your Type 12 article you say the ships were built as an alternative to the much more expensive Type 14. In your Type 14 article you say they were built as an alternative to the much more expensive Type 12. I assume the Type 14 article is correct?
[[User:Maury Markowitz|Maury]] 13:21, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry, it was a typo on the Leander-class article. It was meant to be Type 12, which were known as the Rothesay and Whitby classes. So both articles are quite correct. As the Leander-class were general purpose, while the Rothesay and Whitby's were single-purpose. I'll correct it. [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] 17:30, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

== Article Licensing ==

Hi, I've [[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|started a drive]] to get users to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the [[Creative Commons]] Attribution-Share Alike  (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 [[Creative Commons License|License]]s or into the [[public domain]] if they prefer.  The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the [[GFDL]], but it allows '''other projects''', such as [[WikiTravel]], to use our articles.  Since you are among the [[Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits|top 1000]] Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles.  Over 90% of people asked have agreed.  For More Information:
*[[User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ|Multi-Licensing FAQ]] - Lots of questions answered
*[[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|Multi-Licensing Guide]]
*[[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|Free the Rambot Articles Project]]

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates|Template messages/User namespace]].  The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

:'''Option 1'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
'''OR'''
:'''Option 2'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''".  If you only prefer using the [[GFDL]], I would like to know that too.  ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''[[User talk:Ram-Man|talk page]]'''.  It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking.  -- [[User:Ram-Man|Ram-Man]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new comment]| [[User talk:Ram-Man|talk)]]

== New ship table template ==

I've spent the last few days working on a new ship table template to enable us to centralise the editing of things like weapons outfits for a particular class of ships in one template (so with the Fletchers or Gearings or other big classes you only have to edit in one place to alter a mistake rather than in dozens or hundreds). Please have a look at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships|WikiProject Ships page]]'s talk section and see what you think. I haven't written the instructions for using it yet, and I want to see whether there are any table cells people would like me to include that aren't present yet. There are two example tables, one with all the optional cells present, and the other with some excluded. [[User:David Newton|David Newton]] 14:07, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hi Joel, I've started contributing to the First World War section of your [[History of the British Army]].  I hope it's OK.  Thanks for all the work you've put into it.  [[User:Gsl|Geoff/Gsl]] 07:46, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:I've finished my expansion of the First World War section.  I feel it's much too long but am having a hard time finding ways to trim it down.  I've put coverage of equipment (guns, artillery, tanks, etc.) in a separate Great War section but am not sure that it fits the structure of the article.  I'll see if I can help out with the other sections, but the only useful book I have is Chandler & Beckett, so I might not be able to add much. [[User:Gsl|Geoff/Gsl]] 05:26, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::I wasn't sure whether to do a "British Army in World War I" or a "Military history of the United Kingdom during World War I".  However, I think there is scope for a British Army-only history to cover things that were important to the army such as changes in command, the formation and disbandment of armies and corps, and so on &mdash; stuff that's a bit too detailed for a all-encompassing military history.

Hi, your edit [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Richard_O%27Connor&curid=203674&diff=25263999&oldid=25218930 here] confused me.

Sorry that was a temporary revert to get a link that was in there but you revrted it back before I could, one one the problems with not knowing who is doing what when? Never mind all has ended as I intended. [[User:86.2.136.115|86.2.136.115]] 19:26, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

* One minor point: The new info box headers are well spaced but the info on the right is somewhat squashed up and truncated wrapping text onto the next line in an untidy way.  Is it possible to widen the info box or drop the info text below the headings to use up the width more evenly?

* I agree with you that unbordered box's are better. I think the problem may lie in that the box seems split unevenly due to the length of the formal title 'Colonel of The Regiment'. You could try having the titles centred above each section, which would then allow the longer names and post nominals to be presented in a better format, That may also reduce the length of the infobox as well?. [[User:86.2.136.115|86.2.136.115]] 23:51, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

* Personally I don't have a problem with that format of title, that is what they are these days, but they do actually control things as opposed to being a figurehead like the Colonel in Chief is. Hold on for a day or two. I will send Sir Evelyn an e-mail and see if he has a problem with it. [[User:86.2.138.120|86.2.138.120]] 01:01, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

** SoLando; I have received a reply to e-mail from Sir Evelyn, The Title 'Honorary Colonel' would not be correct however it can be shortened to 'Colonel', This would not be confuse with the commanding officer of the Regiment who is known as a 'CO' and a Lieutenant Colonel in rank, Incidentally the current CO of the Duke of Wellington' Regiment is Lieutenant Colonel Phil Lewis MBE.  He has also noted in the article on the 8th Duke of Wellington that his Post Nominals include the O.StJ.

::Ok, I think that "Colonel" should suffice - and hey, it's short, which matters :-) Right now, I'm now hoping Kiril (see above section ;-)) solves the modular templates inability to handle footnotes, which would provide clarification that "Colonel" in this case doesn't refer to the CO.

== Crown copyright ==

I based the template for the Crown copyright on this PDF file:

http://www.museumscopyright.org.uk/crown-a.pdf

It is hosted by an organisation that is specifically devoted to informing museums and archives about copyright term lengths so I thought that it, and its companion PDFs referenced in the British copyright law article that I am largely the author of are reliable. To answer the question that you left on my talk page, then yes unpublished crown copyright photographs from 1954 or earlier are out of copyright.

This comes from the original treatment of all photographs by the Copyright Act 1911. Up until 1995 all photographs had a copyright term based on 50 years. The 1911 Act did not distinguish between published and unpublished photographs so photographs made during the time that Act was in force had a copyright term of 50 years from creation whether published or not. The Copyright Act 1956 did distinguish between published and unpublished photographs, with the former getting the 50 year term and the latter the perpetual copyright of unpublished works. In line with British legal precedent that only applied to photographs made after the commencement of the 1956 Act, ie 30 June 1957. The Copyrights Designs and Patents Act 1988 kept the 50 year term but ended the perpetual copyright protection of unpublished works, with a 50 year transitional period from commencement of the 1988 Act, ie from 1st August 1989 to 1st August 2039. Again it did not alter the status of works made before commencement in line with British legal practice, so photographs taken before 30 June 1957 still kept their 50 year copyright term whether published or unpublished.

All that changed in 1995 when the EU 'harmonized' copyright terms (despite the fact that things like French copyright law not counting the years during WWI and WWII towards the +70 years still exist). That meant that photograph copyright changed to being the same as that of other artistic works, ie life of the author plus 70 years. Importantly, unlike the 1911 Act, 1956 Act and 1988 Act the EU legislation was retrospective. The only class of works that it did not affect were Crown copyright photographs, which remain as they were, ie 50 years from creation for any photograph taken before 30 June 1957.

I can't talk about the specific photograph that you link to because when I clicked on the link it said that the session had expired on the search engine. [[User:David Newton|David Newton]] 22:50, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

== Image ==

Hi Joel,  I noticed too and was in the process of resolving it.  I've seen the photo in Keegan's ''The Face of Battle'' (where he reckons it is August-September 1914) and in a 1915 issue of ''The War Illustrated'' (where I scanned it from) but in neither of those places was the unit identified.  So I posted a question to the Great War forums and the response I had is that they are 4th Battalion, King's Liverpools and that, despite the un-trench like setting, it is 1915.  Apparently the photo is featured in King’s Regiment Museum in the Museum of Liverpool Life so there might be more information there.

Certainly your image name is more accurate than mine so mine should be the one deleted.  If we wait for more information, it might be possible to come up with a still better name.

I'm not sure which image is better.  Mine was scanned from 90-year old newsprint, is lower resolution, and is banded from the lines of text on the other side of the page, but I feel it is slightly sharper in the foreground (though not sharper in the background).  They are both cropped slightly differently.  Wherever they are eventually placed, I would upload the one that won't be used first, and upload the other over it so that both are in the history. [[User:Gsl|Geoff/Gsl]] 03:10, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

:Your sharpened image is clearly the best.  I think the resolution of the firstworldwar.com image is needlessly high.  Perhaps something around 1000 pixels wide is enough (though of course, I would include the full size scan in the image history.)

:If indeed it is the 4th King's, they joined the Sirhind Brigade on 6 March 1915 and the photo was first published in May 1915, so that places the action, if it was in battle, at Neuve Chapelle, or possibly Aubers Ridge.  I think a title like "4th_Battalion_Kings_Regiment_1915.jpg" would be good enough unless you want to wait to gather more information.  Feel free to upload over my Commons photo until such time was we decide on a name.  Then you or I can move the [[:Commons:Image:British infantry skirmish 1914.jpg]] history to the new name.

A very good idea over on [[m:Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians]] is to have a [[m:Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians#Wiki(pedia) Recycle Bin|'''Wiki(pedia) Recycle Bin''']], where threatened or deleted articles can get a second chance. Proof further that if you have a good idea, chances are someone has already thought of it. We need to support it...or if it does'nt take off and we cant find/come up with a better one, nick it and claim it for our own :>

::One of the things I like about my M8, O'Connor is, he was a very prolific writer of letters, memos, orders, suggestions...you name it. Everything but his memoirs. Horrocks, on the other hand, wrote a very good autobiography, but did'nt seem to leave as much of a paper trail otherwise. This makes him a lot more friendly to the casual reader but a formidable foe for the serious researcher (hello:). Now that I have gotten reinforcements for La Grande Armee, I might be able to shift some forces your way to help out with Market Garden and on the Maruth line. These are his two main battles, and where the main effort should be concentrated.--[[User:R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine)|R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine)]] 06:31, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

:::The autobiography is a very well written and interesting book, but it was written twenty years after the events. The two biographys I have basically use it as their only source, apparently because Horrocks' memory had become faulty and he'd destroyed all his notes when moving house (why would you do that?!?). By re-telling the stories so many times he couldn't remember the events any more, just the anecdotes. He co-wrote a book called "Corps Commander", which goes into more detail about Market Garden. I'm planning to use this to expand the section, but it retreads a lot of the ground of the autobiography. Having said all this, the main reason it hasn't been expanded is that I'm too lazy to do it.

:::On a different subject, can either of you two go over and take a look at [[Arthur Ernest Percival]]? Nickhk has totally re-written it (it was an embarassment before) and it looks extremely comprehensive to me. It might be a good FAC.

::::Never let the Horrock's article stall! Stalling leads to the [[dark side]] - of sloth, boredom, and [[Cliff Richard]], it does! ;-) Leithp, count yourself lucky that you have so many anecdotes. I wouldn't mind having some for the King's Regiment :-( I'd like to help somehow with the  article (I'll even do my utmost to ensure any additions aren't identifiable as being my grammar ;-)). The Percival article looks really good.....that photo of him with the Japanese commanders....why am I suddenly thinking of [[Lord Percy Percy]]? I'd prefer if there was more detail on his early life in WWI, and the intro' should be expanded. Also, Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel of the Cheshire Regiment in 1959? What the hell!? Was it an honory position, or did he actually command a battalion? That does need clarifying. And perhaps some mention should be made of Brig. Alfred James MacGregor Percival, assuming he's a relative. [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 17:06, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

== [[Template:Infobox Military Unit]] ==

Since you probably have the most experience with this, I thought you might be able to give me some advice: what changes or enhancements (besides the support for British spelling&mdash;I'm still trying to figure out how best to do that) would be needed to allow this to be used as a replacement for {{tl|Infobox British Army regiment}}? —[[User:Kirill Lokshin|Kirill Lok]][[Wikipedia:Esperanza|<font color="green">s</font>]][[User:Kirill Lokshin|hin]] 02:05, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

:I'm honoured :-) Well, I believe that there is really only one major field omitted from Infobox Military Unit: "Colonel of the Regiment", informally known as "Honorary Colonel" (or though that is, apparently, inaccurate, but meh!). An "Alliances" parameter might be useful, though one regiment can hold many alliances (see [[Royal Anglian Regiment]] for an example), but that can be circumvented by creating a section in the article. Maybe a Freedom(s) (of the city) field?  Other than that, I believe that the transition from Infobox:British Army regiment to Infobox Military Unit would be seamless :-) [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 02:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

::Excellent!  Would there be any problem with using the "Ceremonial chief" parameter for the "Colonel of the Regiment" and just adding a way to change the label on the field?  —[[User:Kirill Lokshin|Kirill Lok]][[Wikipedia:Esperanza|<font color="green">s</font>]][[User:Kirill Lokshin|hin]] 02:35, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

:::The "Ceremonial chief" parameter would be better retained for "Colonel-in-Chief", a position usually reserved for a member of the royal family. The "Colonel of the Regiment" position is usually held by former serving officers affiliated with the regiment in question. Sorry for the confusion! [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 02:41, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

::::No problem ;-)  Take a look at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Military unit infobox]]; Colonel of the regiment and an optional override to the "Colors" label has been added.  Would you happen to know of a good alternate term for "Specialization" that doesn't have different spellings, by the way? —[[User:Kirill Lokshin|Kirill Lok]][[Wikipedia:Esperanza|<font color="green">s</font>]][[User:Kirill Lokshin|hin]] 03:02, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

If you get a chance would you mind having another look - Ive just nominated the article for [[WP:FAC]], having tried to address your comments? 

[[User:Nickhk|Nickhk]]

== Oops! ==
I've just updated the info box on the Duke of Wellington's Regiment page with the Current Commanding officer and posting location.  I also went to change the info title Ceremonial Colonel to Colonel in Chief, which is the official title, as Ceremonial Colonel is considered derogatory, those who hold the position are invariably ex serving officers with an official rank, Usually Brigadiers or Generals. Mind you it's not too important here as the Dukes are being merged with others on the 6th of June and the Colonel in Chief and Colonel of the Regiments positions will become redundant.  However I must have done something wrong as now the position does not show at all! Sorry!! but could you take a look and correct my error?

:Thanks for the additions! Yes, as there is no "Colonel in Chief" parameter in the [[Template:Infobox Military Unit]]'s syntax, changing "Ceremonial chief" will result in the field being omitted in an article's infobox. I think I'll go and request a "Colonel-in-Chief" field. Thanks again! [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 16:44, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

* An independent '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Peer review|military history peer review]]''' has been created for the benefit of the project.  A number of articles have already been reviewed, receiving significantly more feedback within the project than they did on the generic peer review page.
* The project's '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Collaboration|Collaboration of the Fortnight]]''' got off to a great start with [[Ferdinand Foch]] and is now focusing on the [[military history of Spain]].
* Two new [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history#Task forces|task forces]]—dealing with '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Classical warfare task force|warfare during classical antiquity]]''' and the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Middle Ages task force|Middle Ages]]'''—have been created.
* An effort to build a '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Cartography|catalogue of high-quality maps]]''' for use in military history articles is now underway.
* The newly-formed '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Translation|translation department]]''' is looking for volunteers to help with translating featured articles from other-language Wikipedias.

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Military history WikiProject's newsletter!  We hope that this new format will help members—especially those who may be unable to keep up with some of the rapid developments that tend to occur—find new groups and programs within the project that they may wish to participate in.  

Please consider this inital issue to be a prototype; as always, any comments and suggestions are quite welcome, and will help us improve the newsletter in the coming months.

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians.  It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.  Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on [[User_talk:SuggestBot|SuggestBot's talk page]].  Thanks from [[User:ForteTuba|ForteTuba]], SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on [[User:SuggestBot/Requests|the SuggestBot request page]].  If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]] 04:59, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

:No, I've never heatd of the "Mercia Rifles".

== hotlink question for you ==
What do you do to make the person's IP address clickable with also a talk link in brackets afterwards too? Put one bracket,  two brackets, special brackets? [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cold_War&action=history See here]. Or is it customary to copy the whole link manually like I just did now?

:To generates a User + talk (and contribs) automatically, just include User| before the name, eg {{User|SoLando|}}. If you wish to sign your name with a timestamp, use four tides <nowiki> ~~~~ </nowiki>, which generates [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] 13:03, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

:In an edit summary, you don't need to adhere to such formalities, just simplify it to "rv vandalism" or "rv vandal ip", etc. As an admin, I have [[Wikipedia:Rollback|rollback]], which automatically generates a link to the reverted user. There are similar tools available for non-admins; check out [[Wikipedia: Vandalism]] and the [[Wikipedia:Counter Vandalism Unit]]. Hope that helps. Happy editing!

== i fear the fact that you are ignorant has clouded your judgment ==

sorry that youve felt the need to delete my comment on the utterly ridiculous merging of continental system and blockade, and that youve deleted my perfectly accurate alteration to the article.

I'm interested to know on what basis youve decided to delete it, other than you have some supercool vandalize finding programme. Unless you have somthign to add on the matter thats more constructive than the ape like grunting noises im sure you usually communicate with, replace my contribution. If there is a problem with format or spelling, feel freee to edit.#

I dont have tmie to write a long piece as im busy, but its better than the limited half truth that is there. For more info on my poiont i suggest you read eli heckscher's continental system and ellis's case stufy of alsace under the system, then i have some more for you. Its an interesting subject but what is wriitn a tthe mooment is common misconception, not knowledge as t should be

:Your edits to [[Continental System]] entailed the removal of significant amounts of text, including the lead intro. If you do not wish to be reverted by those patrolling against vandalism, be more careful! Before deciding to remove large chunks of text as an anon, discuss such changes on the talk page.

==British Porpoise class submarines/HMS Rorqual==

Hi. I noticed you wrote the article for the Royal Navy's [[British Porpoise class submarine]]s. I just wrote an article on one of the boats in this class, [[Talk:HMS Rorqual(S02)|HMS Rorqual]]. If you get the chance, could you look at the article and its [[Talk:HMS Rorqual(S02)|talk page]] and see in what ways the article can be expanded or corrected? Thanks!--[[User:A. B.|A. B.]] 18:48, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

:Hi there! Looks good. Sources for many RN vessels can be scarce. I have no hesitation in saying I'm not knowledgeable of naval history. I simply noticed a considerable gap in Wikipedia's coverage nearly two-years ago and wrote numerous poor articles :-D Incidentally, I moved the Rorqual page and deleted the redirects. Happy editing! [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 21:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

::Joel, thanks for the help. 

::... and thanks for writing the RN articles. I've slowly been doing some U.S. military history (and other historical) articles in part to honor the people that served and also to provide a source of information their families can use. That's not a very "encyclopedic" or Wikipedian motivation (perhaps it's "obituarial"), but it keeps me at the keyboard, anyway. Likewise, I know there will be kids somewhere in the U.K. trying to figure out what grandpa did in the RN that will find your articles helpful.--[[User:A. B.|A. B.]] 21:37, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

:::Thank you! Many of these RN articles have been long neglected and desperately need clean up, among other things. But the links are blue/purple and this is a Wiki.

== Blocking a user ==

I just wanted to ask you about user 125.236.44.47. This user was vandalizing pages today and I thank you for blocking them and fixing the pages. However, I don't know why they were only temporarily blocked. If you look at their user history, they have been given a "last warning" '''three''' times! Just block them permanently; their record more than demonstrates reason. I would also ask that administrators would look at users' histories. This person should definitely have been blocked long ago. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:TK421|TK421]] ([[User talk:TK421|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TK421|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

== battleships ==

Hi there: I think that you are the original author of the article"List of Battleships of the Royal Navy".
I am working through the list, writing articles on the ironclad series. HMS Rupert(1872) does not seem to be on your list, and as a newcomer I can't figure how to edit your list the way that you have left it. Would you care, when the World Cup is finished, to put Rupert in?--[[User:Anthony.bradbury|Anthony.bradbury]] 21:35, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

:Hi! The entire content of that article is contained within a number of [[Wikipedia:Template namespace|templates]] - not good! Templates should not be used in place of actual article content. But that's deviating from your initial query, I apologise. The list relevant to ol' ''Rupert'' is located at [[Template:List of steam battleships of the Royal Navy]]. I've now transferred the material directly into [[List of battleships of the Royal Navy]]. Happy editing! [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 12:39, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

----
Yeah, there was a template, and you had to go to the talk page to find the link to it each time you wanted to edit. I don't know how to change that, so if you can, that's good. What does annoy me is people putting things on those battleship pages that don't belong there, and also deleting stuff that SHOULD be there (see german steam battleships for this one). But change it to make it more consistent and to get rid of the templates all you want. thanks :)

Hi. I want to rename the excellent article you created on [[Frederick John Walker]] to Frederic John Walker for the reason explained on its discussion page.  However I thought I would ask your thoughts before doing it, particularly as you queried his first name in one of your comments. [[User:Jll|Jll]] 20:12, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

== Polls: ==

Hi. I'm just sending out a message for a new study I will be undertaking soon. It will involve surveys & polls to gather information & trends of editors on Wikipedia & other subjects. The data gathering will involve yourself recieving a questionaire on your talk page for you to fill out. I will then collect your questionaire & combine it with data from other editors. If you would like to be a part of this experiment, or know of someone who does, place a "Yes" or "No" below this message. Remember, it's only for fun & you can choose not to fill out all or parts of your questionaire once they arrive. Have a nice day...

== [[The King's Regiment (Liverpool)]] GA on Hold for 3 more days ==
Hi, since you are the user listed as maintaining the King's Regiment article, I just wanted to drop a note letting you know that the GA will be on hold for 3 more days. As I noted in my review on the article's [[TALK:The King's Regiment (Liverpool)|talk page]], this is an outstanding article that I would like to pass for [[WP:GA|Good Article]] status but would need to copyright tags cleared up on the two images in question. Appreciate your time and kudos for working on such a well crafted article. [[User:Agne27|Agne]] 16:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

:Me, a scouser?! I'll have you know I was brought up on delightful vintage movies, thus ensuring I would be devoid of the accent (if not the identity) that is scouse, like, la, ya know. I've been monitoring the trials and tribulations brought upon by your... issues... with [[WP:FU]]/[[WP:FUC]] and admins (grrrr!;-) In all honesty, these images are irrelevant. Entirely new illustrations drawn by you are legitimate alternatives! ;-) Technically, I've not returned from my extended wikibreak. Study has been overcoming me. Meh. Hope all is well.

::Awww..pity that. To me the Scouse is the coolest and most noble of all Eng accents....much as Georgian/Floridian [[Cracker (pejorative)|"Cracker"]] is here Stateside...though sadly, all that remains of mine is a small, barely audable hint of a drawl (DAMN YOU CULTURAL HOMOGINIZATION!:) You're right, of course, there are far more important things to get pissed over than a few pics....SIGH but I still miss how much fun this place used to be a mere year ago:( Outside Wiki Diki here, life's been going full tits lately...me happy. Hope you're doing likewise bro.--[[User:R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine)|R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine)]] 10:58, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

== Image:Image:52nd Regoment of Foot by J.C. Stadler.jpg ==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:52nd Regoment of Foot by J.C. Stadler.jpg]]'''. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{tl|GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Fair use]], use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use]]. See [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user={{PAGENAMEE}}}} this link]. '''Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If the image is copyrighted under a [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|non-free license]] (per [[Wikipedia:Fair use]]) then '''the image will be deleted [[WP:CSD#I7|48 hours]] after 21:54, 13 May 2007 (UTC)'''. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:HMS Temeraire (Bellerophon-class battleship).jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] and then go to [[:Image:HMS Temeraire (Bellerophon-class battleship).jpg|the image description page]] and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our [[WP:CSD#Images/media|Criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|You may add it back]] if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

== Notification ==

Hello Remember the dot! I appreciate that you are abiding by process when  alerting me, via multiple generic messages, to the impending deletion of images that I have uploaded. But the volume is quite disconcerting as these photographs were uploaded over two-years ago and are consequently of little concern to me. As an administrator, I would personally delete post-1956 images unilaterally and immediately by invoking CSD criterion - but that wouldn't be process (I'm not "rouge" ;-). Pre-1956 material is conceivably public domain for a variety of reasons. If only the copyright status could be definitively determined; principally whether they were produced by an "officer or servant of the Crown". Without appearing irate (and to reach the purpose of this message), would you consider refraining from notifying me that an image I have uploaded is being considered for deletion? That is unless you wish to issue a deletion request. ;-)  Regardless of the messages, I commend your efforts as examining so many images must be rather tedious. [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 00:56, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

:OK. I'll hold off the generic messages for you then. —[[User:Remember the dot|Remember the dot]] <sup>([[User talk:Remember the dot|talk]])</sup> 20:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

:As far as deletion requests, if you're looking for something to do you might want to clear out the 12-day backlog at [[WP:PUI]]. —[[User:Remember the dot|Remember the dot]] <sup>([[User talk:Remember the dot|talk]])</sup> 20:58, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

== Replaceable fair use Image:HMS Argyll (F231) Type 23 frigate.jpg ==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|32px|left|Replaceable fair use]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:HMS Argyll (F231) Type 23 frigate.jpg]]'''. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria|first fair use criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:Image:HMS Argyll (F231) Type 23 frigate.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to add {{tlx|di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, '''without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[Image talk:HMS Argyll (F231) Type 23 frigate.jpg|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target={{PAGENAMEE}}&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our [[WP:FUC|Fair Use policy]].  If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:di-replaceable fair use-notice --> [[User:John Smith's|John Smith&#39;s]] 15:20, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

==Liberation of Paris==

Your talk page is very pretty. I hope I'm not doing anything wrong here.

The Liberation of Paris article is completely inappropriate. If you noticed from the talk section, a very aggressive French nationalist removed all all mention of US military units, itself grounds for the POV tag. 

He also implies that the Anglo-Americans intended to colonize France with a military government. (It was merely a temporary measure of keeping order. A similar system briefly went into effect in Belgium and the Netherlands.) That's also POV.

By the way, I'm an expert on Middle East military history. A real one. (There aren't very many. I have hundreds of books. I once tried to write an article on the Siege of Jerusalem (1948). I gave up. The rage was too much for someone like me. It is the contention of Arabists that this siege never happened and that the 4,000 Jews who died in its various battles never existed because it would take attention away from Dier Yassin, which was a relatively tiny break-out attempt on a single day in which 100 Arabs were killed. So there can be no article on the Siege of Jerusalem (1948).

My point is, Wikipedia articles are often taken over by extremists with an agenda. POV tags fit when important information is missing (the US commanders and units) and it is edited with propaganda in mind. I'm restoring it. If you have a problem, let's arbitrate.

== [[Issy Smith]] ==


I've added some snippets. Your article is (refreshingly for Wikipedia) tightly written so I had trouble working them in without changing the adjacent sentences. I have kept collateral damage to a minimum. Feel free to pull them around for flow or to discard them altogether. By the way, there's a grisly photograph of Smith in ''The Times'' (31 Jul 1922; pg. 12; Issue 43097; col A). You can access their online archive with a library card (speak to your local library, if you don't have one). And, after thought, British-Australian does seem the best way to describe him.

== Someone who may interest you ==

Came across [[John Joseph Shute]] as the result of my current "project" to sort references to the London Gazette (a website change has broken many existing links).  Thought he might interest you as "Mr King's Liverpool".  [[User:David Underdown|David Underdown]] ([[User talk:David Underdown|talk]]) 16:01, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

:Thank you for directing me to the article. Quite concise....I wouldn't be inclined to classify it as a stub requiring urgent attention or expansion. I am actually tempted to expand it once I've "completed" (hah!) the recurrent [[Liverpool Irish]] project, although as an archetypal Liverpudlian that would oblige me to refrain from informing my Scouse network of Shute's Conservative affiliation ;-). Judging from a cursory glance at GB and Wyrall's history of the King's Regiment, Shute appears to have been an interesting fellow. I'll certainly commit myself to researching the man soon. Thanks again! [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 21:25, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

::It was even more concise before I added the detail of his miltary career and even there the Gazette gives you very much the barebones of what happened, but I susepcted there was quite an intresting story behind that.  The timing of his involvemtn with 1st Volunteer Battalion suggests an involvement in the Boer war as well doesn't it? However, it can still be quite piecemeal trying to get info from Gazette searches, the scanning and OCR process means that the indexing doesn't always work out as you might expect as characters get mistranscribed - there must, somewhere be entries for his initial commissioning, and his majority, but I came up blanks on those (and without knowing roughly when they happened it's hard to narrow down the search any other way.  [[User:David Underdown|David Underdown]] ([[User talk:David Underdown|talk]]) 10:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

:::Apologies for the delay. Yeah, it's probable that Shute served in South Africa; the 1st Volunteers (5th King's) mobilised a contingent for "active service" in the Boer War. I'm personally unsure whether he accompanied his battalion to South Africa or even served in the war attached to another unit. His promotion to substantive Captain appears to have coincided with the deployment of that contingent. Intriguingly, there was an M.A. Shute who served in South Africa with a regular battalion while attached from the 5th King's (issue 27348)   

:::What surprises me is the paucity of information pertaining to his early life as he evidently was a prominent business figure in Liverpool. There's a micro-biography located [http://archive.liverpool.gov.uk/dserve.exe?&dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqDb=Persons&dsqSearch=Code=='DS260'&dsqCmd=Show.tcl  here] and a copyrighted photograph of him [http://www.mersey-gateway.org/server.php?show=conMediaFile.26637 here]. Oh, and I agree that the Gazette's search facility can still be exceedingly frustrating. I once contacted the Gazette about the issues  the original website contended with and received a reply reassuring me that character identification would be improved; i.e. apostrophes would be recognised :-D Shute received his DSO during the First World War; he was a major and second-in-command to John Maxwell McMaster until his succession when the latter apparently returned to England on leave in late 1915 (it's reasonable to assume that age was a factor).

:I've scoured the first volume of Wyrall's history (1914-1915) and found no mention. Unfortunately, Wyrall's history rarely mentions individual awards, and identifies officers by name usually only when they've become a casualty.

:::Ah, I can assure you it wasn't an inconvenience. I've almost realised my "final" version of the Liverpool Irish, so the Shute article could be my next victime!

::::from the Gazettes it's rather difficult to work out what happened to him between 1916-18.  He still seems to have been on the King's regimental list for a while, since he was given a regimental captaincy.  Then there's a back-dated entry in a 1920 gazette giving him a second lieutenant's commission in the East Surreys from 1916.  My best guess (rather originl research, but still), was that it was a it of a fiddle to get him a regular commission, rather than a territorial force commission.  His medal card says he was 1/5th King's, but I don't think any of the gazettes spell that out.

:::::If only the collection of regimental material once stored at the Museum of the King's Regiment was as conveniently accessible as as it was when the MKR was a component of the original and now historical [[Museum of Liverpool Life]].

The applicability of a war diary is debatable, IMO. Not because they constitute a primary source, as they would surely only be used to verify indisputable information likes dispositions and movements (and last time I gazed at WP:V, that was still acceptable), but because they've arguably been deprecated (in terms of writing an article) by regimental histories, et al.

== Harington ==

The main comments on his character are, ‘a spare, highly strung man, with a charming manner and remarkable clarity of vision’, and also the mention that he was deeply religious.  I've noted from the original DNB article (as opposed to the current ODNB entry) and an initial delve in the Times archive that he seems to have been involved with [[Toc H]] after the war, which bears out the religous aspect.  From the later Gazette entries, one of his honorary positions was Commandant of the Army Educational Corps, and he founded and was first president of the Army Sports Control Board whilst he was DCIGS, which bears out the educational aspects.  I suspect he was very much a man of his time, stiff upper lip and all, and many deeply ingrained attitudes which do seem rather dated today.  He was certainly no yes man, he disobeyed Lloyd-George's instruction to give the Turks an ultimatum over Chanak, probably costing himself the chance of becoming CIGS, but avoiding the strong possibility of naother major war.  Times articles also show that he opened a number of war memorials, often in public schools, and again the DNB says he was involved in runign boys' clubs after his retirement from Gibraltar.  His involvement in the committee of the MCC also shows him to be a man of his times in many ways.  His sporting prowess throws an interesting sidelight on his character and background (from the ODNB), "During these early years, as later, he excelled at all games, especially cricket and hockey, possibly because hunting was beyond his means. When he was in his fifties he swam the Hellespont and back and in his sixties he was still playing high class cricket."  So presumably he had no real private income, which still made him something of a rarity in those days so far as the British army was concerned (though [[William Robertson]] did manage to rise from private to field marshal and in the cavalry at that).  Despite this possible social handicap, he seems to have been very popular around York when he was GOC Northern Command.  On his contradictions, other Times articles include quotes about him calling Franco a "Friend of Britain", and as Governor of Gibraltar being quite accomodating to the German Navy when the [[German pocket battleship Deutschland]] was attacked by the Spanish republican air force.  Don't know if any of this is actually any help.  [[User:David Underdown|David Underdown]] ([[User talk:David Underdown|talk]]) 20:33, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
:The parentheses was another attempt at clarification.  Saying "the nickname was assigned to him" (or whatever the precise wording was) has grammatical issues since "him" could be taken to be Harrington (with a double-r) since he's been the subject of the sentence up to that point, so I changed the woring to Harington, but then thought the subtlety of the spelling might be overlooked, so to make it completely clear thought it should be pointed out.  Maybe I was worrying unnecessarily, but since even you had managed to type Harrington, rather than Harington, in a later para... [[User:David Underdown|David Underdown]] ([[User talk:David Underdown|talk]]) 17:13, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

::Haha, the double-r would appear to be inexplicably instinctive to many; the error has befallen a few established scholars if GB is to be believed ;-). I've experimented with possible variations and consider the following revision to be a satisfactorily understated alternative:

:::''Fellow officers from his battalion assigned Harington the nickname after learning of the conviction of [[Timothy Harrington|Timothy Charles Harrington]], an [[Irish nationalism|Irish nationalist]] and [[British House of Commons|member of parliament]], while en route to [[Aden]].'' 

::Does that revision completely eliminate ambiguity? [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 17:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

:::That's probably the best solution.  May be worth keeping an html comment in there as well to highlight that there really is supposed to be a difference in spelling.  We perhps ought to start putting these sort of content issues on the article talkpage, where they'll be more visible to others.  [[User:David Underdown|David Underdown]] ([[User talk:David Underdown|talk]]) 17:35, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

::::Quite how someone who's [[user talk:John#Anglo-irish|"an admin with over 50 000 edits so I understand how referencing works and this one doesn't cut it."]] referring to a reference in [[William Denis Browne]] on a similar topic to that we've just been sorting out on Harington has never come across the ODNB before, let alone so fundamentally misunderstanding [[WP:V]] beats me.

== Greetings and other things ... ==

I've been thinking very hard about [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ARoger_Davies&diff=183757846&oldid=183705302 your comment] on my talk page a week or so back. Assuming you still think it's  good idea (and I really don't mind if you don't), I'd like to go for it. My concern so far is that I'm primarily a content editor, with a bit of dabbling in project organisation (Tag & Assess, for istance) and I wouldn't want that basic mix to change ''too'' much. However, I have done vandal-fighting and went through a spell of CSDing from NPP during lulls.

The other thing is to ask whether you fancy cooperating on [[List of Welsh Victoria Cross recipients]] to get it to featured list. The basics are there already so it's just adding loads of bells, whistles and references :)

:Coincidentally, Woody has just this minute come along with what seems like a better idea for the Welsh VCs so scratch that suggestion!--[[User:Roger Davies|<font color="maroon">'''R<small>OGER</small>&nbsp;D<small>AVIES</small>'''</font>]]&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Roger Davies|'''talk''']]</sup> 16:41, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


::I would encourage pursuit of adminship and would unhesitatingly endorse as a nominator/co-nominator/third nominator, etc. I suspect, however, that I'm not a particularly "glamourous" (!;-) broom handler. Becoming an administrator isn't as profound a change as some might be inclined to believe. Yes, you have access to the various privileges thereof and your status/image/reputation within the community can be fundamentally altered ;-). But unless you proactively pursue as a primary activity the most "demanding" responsibilities - conflict/dispute mediation/resolution, tendentious/disruptive users, et al - content editing, etc can still remain your primary focus. Countering vandalism and moderating new pages, closing AFDs, et al isn't so time consuming that it would be detrimental to your preferred method of contribution. That is unless, like me, you're still burdened with dial up. I hope that was coherent and helpful :-).   

::And here would have existed a second paragraph. ;-) [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 17:04, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
:::... That was very helpful, thanks. My thought, if successful, is to use the tools basically during lulls between regular editing, when I tend to do NPP or RC anyway. I see it really as an extension of that. By the way, how on earth do you manage with dialup? Multi-graphic pages must be a nightmare. --[[User:Roger Davies|<font color="maroon">'''R<small>OGER</small>&nbsp;D<small>AVIES</small>'''</font>]]&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Roger Davies|'''talk''']]</sup> 17:16, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

:::I agree with what SoLando says completely, you can let the admin work take over if actively seek it, or you can just carry on as normal but clear out a few backlogs and delete some "teh teacehr is a G*yb*y" pages. ;) I have created [[User:Woody/Sandbox/Roger]] for your ramblings SoLando, place them where you want on the page (within reason). When you have answered the questions Roger, and you feel ready, then transclude it. (give me a note when you do, I don't want any of those pesky "beat the nom" supports. :).

::::I wonder why is typing "poo" so popular among the vandal classes. I had a, um, run of "poos" a week or so back. It amazed me that they all seemed to think (if that's the right word to use) so much alike.
::::Re the template, I'll do replies off-line in advance and paste it all together when I get back to London on Monday evening. Probably best is if I message you to transclude it. What does "beating the nom" mean, by the way?

:::::Example: '''First support''' - beat the nom! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  I've resigned myself to not being one of the first two to register support for your nomination :-( 
:::::Regarding the various manifestations of the destructive editor, I "prefer" the basic form of vandalism. Over three-years ago, before I had become a sysop, I incurred the wrath of a vandal who associated my account name with Star Wars and repeatedly inserted it into various articles. Oh the hilarity. And I have every ambition of discarding dial up before December ;-). [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 17:57, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

==[[Template:Great War in Ireland]]==
Thanks for clarification on Canadian Irish, have discovered that there was also a non-Canadian Leinster Regiment. Have also just added [[The Irish Regiment of Canada]]. See also [[Irish regiment]]. I wonder of the Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians) is correctly or wrongly titled under [[16th (Irish) Division]] ?. Perhaps you have some insight ? Greetings, [[User:Osioni|Osioni]] ([[User talk:Osioni|talk]]) 20:51, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

:If I recall correctly, the Leinster Regiment did maintain a relationship to some degree with Canada (or its government), perpetuating the traditions of its predecessor which I believe was formed there. But I'm confident its personnel composition was predominantly Irish, augmented per convention by soldiers from England/Scotland/Wales. Google Books should, reliably as ever, yield the relevant information. 
:Titled? Are you referring to the battalion/regiment's designation or placement within the OOB of the 16th Division? Regards, [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 23:38, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

==Image:HMS Colossus (Colossus class light fleet carrier).jpg==

Since the ship was built in the UK more than 50 years ago there should be some crown copyright pics of it on which the copyright has expired.[[User:Geni|Geni]] 17:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

:Certainly. But until an available PD alternative is identified, that FU image is irreplacable in accordance with [[WP:FUP]] and therefore immune from being "botted" (a self-created word......I assume ;-). Unfortunately, there are so few resources online........the most extensively used being the Imperial War Museum's website. Regards, [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 18:17, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
::Realisticaly we know that such an image will exist somewhere. Thus the image is replaceable.[[User:Geni|Geni]] 20:08, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Indeed. But until the availability of a policy-compliant image is conclusively established, the aforementioned FU illustration isn't replaceable in the strictest sense as the existence of a PD alternative is purely hypothetical despite the high probability. I'm not particularly surprised by the apparent scarcity of images of Colossus explicitly licensed under Crown Copyright: she/it (;-) was in commission for just two-years.

Hi there Joel, in answer to the first question, no. There is no formalised struture or review system. It is given out occasionally to articles such as [[James Milner]] which isn't FA standard, but it is better then GA. I think the project as a whole is going for FAs now. We do have a burgeoning list of Featured content. The Villa Featured Topic is almost done now, one history at [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/History of Aston Villa F.C. (1961–present)|FAC]] and about to have one at FLC. I would be happy to help with any Liverpool ones, it is my second club after all. With regards to Harington, good work, I have given it project banner tags on the talk page. I seem to have neglected the VC lists after getting one through FLC. I will work on the Irish ones next I think! [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 15:15, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

::The Footy project has been going through steady revamping for a while now.

::::The tables are easy enough to create, just need a good source, and a bit of freetime. I have got one lined up for the Irish list and my CTRL+C and CTRL+V fingers ready to go. I suggested a standalone review bit a while back, but most people said they didn't want to be removed from the current peer review process (though PR has changed since I suggested that).

==Criticism==

Hey! Why are you repeatedly changing my contributions (to the articles [[Armenian National Committee of America]], [[David Mayer de Rothschild]], and [[Bilderberg Group]]), and saying that I don't provide references and reliable sources? I have provided 5 sources on each of them, so don't try to cover up the truth!  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/85.229.25.221|85.229.25.221]] ([[User talk:85.229.25.221|talk]]) 01:37, 22 February 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Cover up the truth? Wikipedia is indeed a website, but it isn't a vehicle for conspiracy/minority theory and personal opinion. What you consider truth can be, and is, perceived as minority theory (at a diplomatic minimum!). Policy is intrinsic to the project and each article is required to comply with the relevant content policies that I and others have directed you to on your talk page ([[WP:V]], [[WP:NOR]], [[WP:NPOV]] being the most pertinent, and apologies for the alphabet soup!) Your "sources" are unreliable and your additions inherently partisan and, to be candid, disreputable. Your contributions will continue to be reverted if your edits  are in violation of policy. Regards, [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 14:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

==Sources==
Why don't you provide sources?
And who gave you the authority to discredit a well established and respected web site such as PrisonPlanet.com?
Please stop inserting your POV end reverting changes that are backed up with references and documented facts. For the sake of the credibility of Wikipedia.org [[User:Screwed-n-chopped|Screwed-n-chopped]] ([[User talk:Screwed-n-chopped|talk]]) 01:22, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

:Prisonplanet is an inherently unreliable site maintained, I believe, by a man ([[Alex Jones (radio)|Alex Jones]]) described by established sources as a "conspiracy theorist". Would you provide reliable evidence to disprove that? Or will that be rebuked with the defence: "But they're the establishment"? ;-) The site is in violation of [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|policy]] and must not be used to support highly controversial, conspiratorial additions to articles on Wikipedia. Wikipedia isn't in the business of promoting any form of propaganda and providing [[WP:UNDUE|undue]], even undeserved, coverage to minority theories and viewpoints. I'm not obligated to provide a single source to justify my removal of the content you added. It is incumbent upon the editor who has inserted text into an article to substantiate their additions when challenged. As has been stated, you will be blocked if you continue to reinsert such material. I urge you to review your contributions and respect that they are incompatible with the policies you have been directed to familiarise yourself with.

I haven't had a free weekend in February to get some serious editing in. Though I did manage to get History of Aston Villa (1961-present) to FA. I will see whether I can find any good sources.

== Irish VC recipients and thanks ==

Hi there SoLando, thought you would be interested to know that [[List of Irish Victoria Cross recipients]] is up and running. I have completed the basic structure. There are some sortable issues that will need to be fixed, and I haven't completed the units but it is getting there! A little thanks for your support at the MilHist elections, I am now a coordinator, more backlogs to clear! I will have a look at Berger now. Hope all is good. [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 21:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

:Hey Woody! Congratulations on the successful election. I'm now investigating whether those red links can be converted into redirects :-). I wonder how accurate it would be to redirect [[Cape Police]] to the modern incarnation of the country's law enforcement organisation, the [[South African Police Service]]? Regards, [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 21:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
::Hmm, not very accurate in my opinion. That article does not not discuss anything since apartheid and as such isn't related to the Cape Police, part of the South African Forces during the [[Second Boer War]]. I am ploughing through the other units, most have redirects available. Regards [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 21:59, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Definitely true, but the article for its Apartheid-era predecessor has......problems. Ahem ;-). I was hoping there would be an article on [[Law enforcement in South Africa]]. Instead, it redirects to the South African Police Service which has no history section. I was intending to fill in some of the blanks but you're probably in the process of doing that. Keep at it :-). Regards, [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 22:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
::::Filling in blanks but leaving the posthumous stuff to another day! [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 22:29, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
:Blanks filled now and the Lead is growing. I am now wondering whether to expand it above those who were born in Ireland. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Irelands_VCs&diff=27560112&oldid=27349756 This page (now redirected)] is actually quite good at providing rough numbers for it. [http://www.sixgolds.com/irishvc.htm This reference] also has them listed, as do the National archives. What I am wondering is, do we expand the current narrow scope to include naturalised recipients to follow the format of the other lists? [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 21:00, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
::If it's verifiable: absolutely. Were [[Johnson Beharry]] to apply and be approved for British citizenship, I would imagine that would be accommodated on the list by nationality. I hope I've understood your question correctly. I  had a blood rush when I encountered [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Talk:David_Mayer_de_Rothschild&diff=prev&oldid=195634507 this!!!!!!!!]. I just couldn't resist the urge to respond :-/. Regards, [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 21:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Thought so, am working on it now. That stub looks good! Need a few more now! (Hint hint). I am going to try and complete the list today and go for posthumous tommorrow. I think all the sortable issues have now been fixed. [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 21:59, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
::::I reckon we can pipe/redirect most of the Bengal ones to [[Bengal Regiment]] for the time being. Thoughts? [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 22:04, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::No objections as most of these regiments wouldn't be viable as independent articles.

== Favour ==

I'm off for two weeks over Easter and I have just realised that I have left an [[Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Victoria Cross recipients of the Royal Navy|FLC]] open. [[List of Victoria Cross recipients of the Royal Navy]] is up and frankly, I don't think there should be many problems. The only one is whether to include ranks or not. Your opinion on that would be much appreciated. If you don't have enough time to take it on, then please just ignore me!

==7th Infantry Division (Pakistan) issue==
I am hoping that this get resolved pretty soon and the article improved on one of the most important formations of the campaign in Burma, and the Indo-Pak Wars. I am of the opinions that mrg3105's arguments have no merit and this should be resolved asap preferably with a mergeing.[[Special:Contributions/58.65.163.248|58.65.163.248]] ([[User talk:58.65.163.248|talk]]) 11:42, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey there SoLando, lots of Victoria Cross going on today! [[Victoria Cross]] is on the main page as TFA, (and has survived a few attacks), [[List of Irish Victoria Cross recipients]] is up at [[Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Irish Victoria Cross recipients|FLC]] and I have started the Indian Army one. It is there where I am in need of some input. Do you think that it should be default sort by Unit (as in the Navy list) or by name (as in the other lists)? Now I have to go try and find articles for those red-links! Warm Regards. [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 18:22, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
:Hey, Woody. Welcome back! Congratulations on the FA, FL, FA, FL! :-D There've been a few missed opportunities to revert the vandalism.  Blame it on the dial-up (still!). Monitoring main page TFAs is impossible at times :-/. Have you completed your BCAD range?   
:As the recipients are the primary focus of these VC lists, the table should probably be organised by name. Oh, do you have access to a newspaper archive(s)? I've been expanding [[HMS Liverpool (C11)]] but the paucity of available information on the ship's post-war activities is...noticeable. I've been intending to take advantage of the library's subscription to the Times archive but, per convention, have been repeatedly distracted. Regards, [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 18:47, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yep, I've got access to archives. I will take a look for you. The newish [[WP:MHL|Military Logistics]] page has a few other people listed who have access as well for future reference. Yep, got the BCAD range done, slightly depressing how badly referenced most of them were! 
::The TFA had a concerted attack early this morning, even got protected, but thankfully it has been quiet. Always nice when no-one criticises the article! 
::I will do it by name, you are right, does seem strange to have it by unit given the intended focus of the list. Once I have done the Indian Army, onto the Scots! Regards. [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 19:00, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
:::That would be appreciated! My original intention was to submit a request but I convinced myself that I'd get round to utilising the library's subscription by now :-D. Predictably, circumstances have precluded that. 
:::There've been a number of FAs which have usually been magnets for targeted vandalism only to almost "ignored" while featured on the main page. So be proud! ;-). [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 20:00, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
::::It does feel strange to go to the main page and see an article you have worked on right in front of you. 
::::In terms of articles on the ''Liverpool'', paucity is the right word. I am having trouble trying to find anything. I have checked the times archive and found 3 articles. One you have listed, one I have added, the other one is virtually a duplicate of the first one. I searched the Times digital archive 1785-1985 for H.M.S [AND] Liverpool, HMS [AND] Liverpool, Liverpool [AND] Navy. Can you think of anything else? Most of the other archives ar only active from 1990. [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 21:02, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::That is surprising! I had anticipated there'd be greater coverage, as Liverpool functioned as flagship at some stage in its deployment. Perhaps "Liverpool Cruiser", "Liverpool Mediterranean", and "Liverpool flagship". Can you verify that Liverpool transported Mountbatten to Yugoslavia in 1951? I've yet to identify an adequately reliable source for it. I'm really grateful for your support and the information you've added.

:::::Absolutely! There isn't an established, recommended minimum size. So long as comprehensiveness is demonstratative and the article adheres to [[WP:FACR|FA criterion]], the length of HMS Cardiff shouldn't impair the prospect of promotion. [[WP:TROP]] has produced "small" FAs and an FA which I was the primary contributor to is of comparable size. Roger Davies and Woody were instrumental in its promotion ([[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Issy Smith]]). If the availability of sources is limited and there are no omissions, glaring or otherwise, that can't be addressed because of a paucity of reliable sources, then the article would likely be judged to be comprehensive under those conditions.

==Military Reserves Page==

I was wondering if you would be interested in this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_reserve_force

I have added to it. Would love to have your imput. I feel that the articles on "military basics" such as the linked one are in need of improvement.

:Hey there. The article definitely needs extensive work; unsourced and sparse in its content (that could be addressed by splitting off the list and converting the section into prose; summary style?). I do have an interest and will contribute if there's an opportunity to do so. In saying that, {{user|Buckshot06}} would be the ideal person to approach (and consider sounding out other interested editors at the [[WP:MILHIST|MILHIST]] project).

== HMS Liverpool ==

Hmmm that's interesting.  Colledge indicates seven commissioned HMS ''Liverpool''s and another (the fourth) being ordered but later cancelled before being launched.  I've altered the list page to indicate this, and since this is in keeping with the RN website I think we've cleared up the discrepancy. Does this look all right? [[User:Benea|Benea]] ([[User talk:Benea|talk]]) 13:49, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Let me clarify your query about the ''Imaum'' (ex-''Liverpool''). The ship concerned was NOT an East Indiaman, but was built in 1826 at Bombay for His Highness the Imaum of Muscat, and was in his service named the ''Liverpool''. In 1836 she was given as a present by the Imaum of Muscat to HM King William IV, who handed her over to the Royal Navy when she arrived at Portsmouth on 23 February 1836.  As there was a ''Liverpool'' already in the RN, she was renamed HMS ''Imaum'' on entry into the RN. Thus the RN website is correct in saying that she was never called HMS ''Liverpool'', but Jim Colledge is also correct in identifying her as "ex-''Liverpool''", since that was her name in the service (1826-1836) of Muscat. See the entry on page 101 of my ''Sail and Steam Navy List''. [[User:Rif Winfield|Rif Winfield]] ([[User talk:Rif Winfield|talk]]) 12:22, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

:Thank you for the clarification. That might be an interesting article to initiate, assuming there is sufficient material out there to merit creation. Regards and welcome to Wikipedia, [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 14:19, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

== HMS Cardiff Featured Article Candidate ==
Hello, this is a generic message, as a contributor to a previous review of HMS Cardiff, you may be interested to know that I plan to submit her for an FA review. Would you mind taking a quick look at the article and letting me know if you think it's ok, would be muchly appricated, cheers.

::::::I recall that an FAC can be "restarted" by {{user|Raul654}} or {{user|SandyGeorgia}} without being formally archived. I rarely frequent FACs (I never feel I have enough time to review an article to support or oppose) so if you're unsure just ask one of the aforementioned users.

== [[Jews|Jewish]] [[Russian-American]] [[Regina Spector]] in the biography lead ==

Hi there. Thanks for the note, but I respectfully continue to find your deletion, and the reasoning behind it, unsupported by a rational reading of either the article or [[WP:NAMES]] (which is technically a redirect as things stand now, but I read the ''recommendation'' it pointed to thoroughly anyway, the first time you alluded to it in the edit summary).

Regina Spektor would not have become and American un-folk singer, or even an anglophone, had her family not been Jewish and she, Russian-born, Russian-resident, through her early childhood. Her entire output and life path both owe their course to her Jewish-Russian ethnicity no less than, to use your example, the African-American [[Collin Powell]]. Perhaps you don't realize this, but contemporary Russians don't emmigrate as a rule from Russia. Russian Jews do, however, and this is why they are disproportionally represented in the Russian diaspora in the USA and Israel, or more generally, in the world. This alone suffices to inject her ethnicity into the lead.

If you find the clarity of the article wanting on this score, kindly edit ''that'' to your satisfaction, but please don't obliterate it in the lead.  To me, the article is clear enough.  Two experienced editors, well-versed in the subject matter, already took issue with your removal of exact characterization quoted the title of this section/missive. Accordingly, I think you really have no basis for insisting on your edit. And, the Wikipedia guidance page you would have us study, calls itself just a recommendation, and is meant to help readability, not hinder it. I suggest that it is trumped in this case by another Wikipedia rule, that of applying common sense. Furthermore, I have already returned this text more than once to the lead, usually on account of vandalism, and I intend to see to it that it stays there, even if it takes a Request for Comment process, which, I think, would be gross overkill, because the issue is a no-brainer.

In sum, the article ''does'' state the circumstances of her family's emigration, the circumstance of her religious/ethnic-based upbringing and schooling, and anyone even remotely acquainted with the sources used in the article, let alone her music and statements she has made on record [sic], would immediately perceive that the lead-emphasized ethnicity of this notable person is central to her artistic output, and in that capacity, to her notablity.  Best Wishes, --[[User:Mareklug|Mareklug]] <sup>[[User talk:Mareklug|<b>talk</b>]]</sup> 12:51, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

== Bjbot ==

[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SoLando&diff=218164092&oldid=218125444 It wasn't incorrect], I fixed it! ;) Someone uploaded a copyvio on commons and replaced the image in the article. It was then swiftly deleted on commons and delinked from the article, leaving a nice hole, which I then replaced by [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arromanches_%28R_95%29&action=history reverting all the recent changes]. Job done. Hope all is good. [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 13:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

:Ah, it's comforting to know Bjbot hasn't gone all Betacommand (I should have checked the article history. Meh!). Thank you, Woody. Well, my cough-cum-cold has the potential to transform me into a delirious insomniac ;-). Assuming you see this reply, could you scrutinise [[Brian Horrocks]] for Leithp (or approach someone) to address the "issues" (bah!) which have been raised at [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Brian Horrocks]]? [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 13:49, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

::I presume you mean the 1(a) opposes? Whilst I personally see the use of commas as a personal thing, and not an obligation like Tony, the comments by Jrp are all actionable. The only way to pass FAC now is to find an extraordinary copyeditor, I will try and look for one... [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 14:44, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Indeed. I'm actually unsure whether some of Tony's earlier comments about the effective accessibility of the text (and redundancy) have been addressed, to an extent.

Hi SoLando

Could you please specify your level of copy-editing for the military history project [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Logistics#Copy-editors|here]].

These are the levels:
# Copy-edit lite: basic proof-reading, spellchecking, punctuation.
# [[WP:ENGVAR|English variant]] conversion: for example, from American English to Commonwealth English, or vice versa.
# Naturalising: copy-edit for editors whose English is fluent but not perfect.
# [[WP:WIAFA|FAC prose copy-edit]]: flow, structure, elegance.
# [[WP:WIAFA|FAC technical copy-edit]]: MoS-compliance for dashes, hard spaces, numbers, measurement conversion.

Thanks a lot. [[User:Wandalstouring|Wandalstouring]] ([[User talk:Wandalstouring|talk]]) 12:22, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

== If you've a mo ==

Could you take a look at [[Henry Chadwick (theologian)]].  I've done quite a lot of work on it recently, and was half-thinnking of putting up for GA.  Rather outside your normal area of expertise I know, but that might be a good thing, as I may well have assumed to much.  [[User:David Underdown|David Underdown]] ([[User talk:David Underdown|talk]]) 14:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
:I have an area of expertise? ;-) Very tight, clear article. I've been somewhat sleep deprived of late so I'll limit my edits, at least for the moment. [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 14:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
:Well all the obits seemed to agree that he was a good egg (though the Troygraph one seemed to have a bit of anti-Anglican streak, I'd love to know who wrote it), the quote I used was picked up by the NYT and Le Monde (so far as I can work out with my French) obits, so it seemed fair game.  I'll change "expertise" to "contribution" above if you want...  Thanks, even if you did chop out the bits of wording I liked best! [[User:David Underdown|David Underdown]] ([[User talk:David Underdown|talk]]) 15:56, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
::True, but facts present themselves without the need for modifiers. Ok, I might accept occasional expertise ... hah. Hmm, the Telegraph seems to have been very positive towards a fair number of expired Liverpool players, so I'm not going to complain :-D. I might return to the article after I've replenished the expended energy unless someone else delves in. Cue sinister, incidental music.

== fact! ==

Hi, could you do me a favour, could you look at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Westland_Lynx&action=history history on the Lynx article] please. Some guy keeps removing a fact tag I added to piece of text an IP added that says;

"''A flight of '''either''' AAC '''or''' RM Lynx AH.7s '''are based at Basra Air Station under command of the [[Joint Helicopter Force (Iraq)]] on a rotational basis''', but are restricted operationally during the Summer months due to the very high daytime temperatures which affect lifting capacity and endurance dramatically.''"

I've '''bolded''' the bits that initially raised my concern. [[User:Ryan4314|<strong><font color="Black">Ryan</font><font color="CornflowerBlue">4314</font></strong>]]  ([[User talk:Ryan4314|talk]]) 19:25, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

:Some of the content does appear to be the product of OR and there needs to be a substantial improvement in source qualitY. At a cursory glance, a number of the ELs seem to be of questionable reliability. There's no reason, as of yet, for administrative action; a maintainance tag (or two or more ;-) should suffice.

== Replaceable fair use Image:HMS Illustrious (Illustrious class carrier).jpg ==
[[Image:Ambox warning.svg|32px|left|Replaceable fair use]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:HMS Illustrious (Illustrious class carrier).jpg]]'''. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|first non-free content criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:Image:HMS Illustrious (Illustrious class carrier).jpg|the media description page]] and edit it to add {{tlx|di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, '''without deleting the original replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[Image talk:HMS Illustrious (Illustrious class carrier).jpg|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target={{PAGENAMEE}}&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before [[13 July]] [[2006]]), per our [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content policy]].  If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you. <small>Do you want to [[Template:Bots#Message notification opt out|opt out]] of receiving this notice?</small><!-- Template:di-replaceable fair use-notice --> [[User:Ss181292|Ss181292]] ([[User talk:Ss181292|talk]]) 15:44, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

==Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice==
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the [[m:Wikimania 2010/Bids/Oxford|Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference]]. Please see [[m:Wikimania 2010/Bids/Oxford#Local team|here]] for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to [[m:Wikimedia UK v2.0|the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page]] and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend [[Wikipedia:Meetup/London 13|the next London meet-up]] at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch [[Wikipedia:Meetup]], for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

==Orphaned non-free media (File:HMS Victorious (pre-dreadnought battleship).jpg)==
[[Image:Ambox warning blue.svg|25px]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:HMS Victorious (pre-dreadnought battleship).jpg]]'''. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, it is currently [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage|orphaned]], meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|You may add it back]] if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Orphaned --> [[User:BJBot|BJBot]] ([[User talk:BJBot|talk]]) 05:02, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't know what your final destination for this article is, FA, GA, etc, but I would like to encourage you to take the article as far up the chain as you are comfortable. Also, please do not forget about the A-Class review system at [[WP:MILHIST]] when the time comes (between GA and FA). -'''[[User:MBK004|MBK]]'''<sub>[[User talk:MBK004|004]]</sub> 02:34, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

:Hi! Yes, FA is, ideally, the ultimate objective. The article is tantalisingly close to....completion (although when is an article on Wikipedia ever so? :-). Perhaps it should have reached its current stage of development last year but my contributions (both content and administrative) have been very sporadic since 2008. I really appreciate the encouragement and it's so reassuring to see MILHIST appear to still be a bastion of calm and stability. Cheers!

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:File:1st Buckinghamshire Battalion at Poziéres, 23 July 1916 by Wollen.jpg]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:File:1st Buckinghamshire Battalion at Poziéres, 23 July 1916 by Wollen.jpg]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#I2|section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:File:1st Buckinghamshire Battalion at Poziéres, 23 July 1916 by Wollen.jpg|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[File talk:1st Buckinghamshire Battalion at Poziéres, 23 July 1916 by Wollen.jpg|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. <!-- Template:Db-noimage-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Magog the Ogre|Magog the Ogre]] ([[User talk:Magog the Ogre|talk]]) 17:18, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

==Re King's Regiment Image==
Hi Solando, i've found this image on Commons [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Storming_the_Heights,_Peiwar_Kotal.JPG] described as being the King's Own Royal Regiment but i think it might actually be King's Regiment? What do you think? Know you look after the King's Regiment page so you might be able to use it. [[User:Tristan benedict|Tristan benedict]] ([[User talk:Tristan benedict|talk]]) 11:00, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

:Hey! Thanks for the heads-up. Quite a few publications often produced really bizarre variations of the regiment's actual title...even the regiment was unsure about its pre-1921 designation: whether it was "King's (Liverpoool Regiment) or King's (Liverpool) Regiment. Bah :-P.  It seems more than likely that the illustration does indeed depict the King's. I honestly couldn't be less certain about its accuracy, however - not just the superficial discrepancies, which are understandable for an idealised portrayal of a 19th Century battle.
:Still, it would be an awesome addition to the 8th Foot page as there's as much a scarcity of images as there are sources. Happy editing. [[User:SoLando|SoLando]] ([[User talk:SoLando|Talk]]) 20:10, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

::Hi again SoLando. Its most likely to be the 8th Foot. The 4th King's Own were in Portsmouth in 1878 [http://www.kingsownmuseum.plus.com/moves03.htm]. Harry Payne's original title for the painting doesn't include the name of the regiment [http://www.military-art.com/mall/more.php?ProdID=8007], but if you look at the actual battle, the heights of Peiwar Kotal are in the centre of the battlefield and were stormed by the 8th Foot and the 5th Punjab Infantry [http://www.britishbattles.com/second-afghan-war/peiwar-kotal.htm]. Hopefully this helps even more because i reckon this painting would look great on the 8th Foot page, a very cool painting. Wish there was something like this for the Yorks and Lancs! [[User:Tristan benedict|Tristan benedict]] ([[User talk:Tristan benedict|talk]]) 09:04, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

::My mistake; after studying the battle more closely the Heights were taken by the 8th Foot only, so i reckon the image on Commons can be renamed? [[User:Tristan benedict|Tristan benedict]] ([[User talk:Tristan benedict|talk]]) 09:29, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
