Nice to see you work with the Indian Railways, the current Indian Collaboration of the week. you've uploaded some images which are in the .gif format. Is it possible to reupload it in the .png format? Wikipedia prefers that format. Regards, = Nichalp ( Talk)= 14:31, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
Hi Op. Deo, just thanking you for the great West Buckland School page! I've looked for one in the past to no avail and after seeing how much Millfield boasted on their page was just about to create one. I was wondering about your relation to the school, as I noticed your pages on the Elmhirst's and Dartington Hall. I am a pupil and friends with an Elmhirst at school (who I think is part of the same family). Anyway my guess is you're either David Gale or Berwick Coates, am I right? Jack 20:00, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
You inserted in her article that son, Michael Straight had briefly been the lover of Anthony Blunt while at Cambridge. I am researching him and his brother to do articles but cannot find anything about him having a homosexual affair. I have removed it for now, but please reinsert it with details of your sources. Thanks. Ted Wilkes 1 July 2005 14:17 (UTC)
What does your name mean? A traditional (Latin) abbreviation--"by the operation/working of God"?? Haha, thanks -- Dpr 04:29, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing this out. I've left a message with User: Wetman, after yours.-- shtove 21:18, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
I've come across a summary of Norreys' Brittany campaign that says it was a disaster. I'd put this in the article, but am waiting on your Nolan edits. No rush, but please confirm whether or not you'll make the contribution. Thanks.-- shtove 23:14, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Please read: Talk:Sir_Henry_Norreys Thanks :) -- syvanen 19:22, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
I was not aware that the NNDB lacks credibility. In any event, it's true that they do welcome submissions of biographical information, but how can you be sure that they have no process of verifying what they add? I like NNDB's irreverence and frequent links to rotten.com profiles. Gilliamjf 13:22, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

He was not the last general to invade Iraq, but he was the last one to invade Iraq, Syria and Iran successfully within in just about a year or so. I will be putting that rather notable fact back in. Dabbler 02:59, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
I will have a look at Jumbo Wilson, I am aware of his activities and some of his cammpaigns, but I am not too sure of all the details and will have to find some more references. Dabbler 23:03, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
On 27-Feb, you blanked Anglo-Irish Relations. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. I've reverted it to the previous version. If you believe the page should be deleted, please follow the redirect portion of the deletion procedures. If you believe different content should go there, please create a stub. If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 00:19, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
(Didn´t know where to put this and I decided to moved to your disscusion page, if you want you can put it in the Barfleur-La Hogue discussion page). Hello, just back from the library, again. Well N.A.M. Rogers is right, Tourville was winning the battle until 7pm when the wind changed and Ashby, who went south early in the battle with 22 ships -almost his entire squadron-chasing Gabaret division (of just 3!) could go back and engaged Tourville´s from both sides, that´s when the Soleil Royal and the Ambitieux got heavily damaged under fire of 4 and 5 english ships on both sides (Almonde´s Dutch ships were fighting at the vanguard and trying not to get surrounded by Nesmond and Amfreville´s divisions). Only the change of the tide with its strong streams saved Tourville who(after repeling a first attack with fire ships) anchored his ships. Russell, being unawared of those tricky waters, was drifted by the tide westward. All this information,I have a few pages, and more(mainly XVIIth naval history) I hand-copied for months at the library (you are not allow to take those books out nor to fotocopy them) Some librarians looked at me as if I were somo kind of freak! I hope you can excuse my English, I am Spanish, so I have to make big efforts to writte properly. I made a couple of corrections at the bibliography I gave you and as soon as my server´s problems are fixed I´ll send you the plans from the battle ( 5 different plans I copied with the fleet positions and evolutions).

Anderson's page is up now, if you want to add your input. It still needs copyediting but I think I might put it forward for WP:DYK tomorrow (once I can find a suitable factoid of course). Leith p 19:14, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Also, do you have the date of the obit for the references section? Leith p 08:11, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, my mistake. I noticed another editor had reverted for the same reason, so I figured that was the proper action. I'll let it be. Gflor e s Talk 05:48, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
hey there, I just noticed here [1] that William Brereton was the seventh and not sixth son of Sir Randle Brereton. What was your source? Kind regards, Russ -- Mcginnly 19:16, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Mmx1 is taking the fight that I have over the F-14 and F-111 to the failure page, and he has nominated them for deletion. The wiki-thugs are all voting to delete the page. Mmx1 has reversed the F-14 page to state that it is not, and has never been designed as a maneuverable air superiority fighter, and is not accepting any contrary citations up to and including a F-14 test pilot, Janes Defence, and Aviation Week. He is apparently taking revenge against other pages. Please go to the deletion page and tell the administrators what is going on. Look at the patterns of MMx. He regular accuses others of gross misinformation and summarily reverts most edits as a self-appointed judge of all truth, but in fact should not be allowed this leeway. -- matador300 11:00, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi - thanks for your compliments. The article is in a much improved condition since I last saw it. Now the work of Mashriqi's grandson isn't exactly a problematic source, so I suggest you don't remove that without a lengthy discussion. But the anon is certainly wrong in reverting your edits and removing the content you're adding. What I advise you to do is to do your work and discuss issues with the anon and other editors, but don't undertake multiple reverts of the anon (keep WP:3RR in mind). It never pays to lose your cool, so take a break from editing here if you feel the need. As for the anon, I'm gonna warn him about 3RR, edit warring and removing content repeatedly, which is vandalism - if the violations continue, he/she will be blocked. I can also protect the article from further editing if there is an escalation of reverts. Cheers, Rama's arrow 16:15, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Op. Deo. I have taken out the copy vio stuff and restored the article. At the moment it doesn't say why the beach is notable, and reads a little like an advert (possibly because the references are all tourist guides?) I hope that you'll be able to solve these problems - good luck! Neil (not Proto ►) 20:00, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello; Thanks for your comments on my queries about this article. No-one else responded, so I've re-written it, together with a parallel article on each action. I'd be interested to know what you think. I wanted to tell you specifically I kept the bit about the Monmouth, but put it on the Barfleur page; it seemed to sit better there.

Oh you hero: I've just seen your reffing of the irises and mulberry tree at Christ's. And I hadn't even been helpful enough to say, "Pls look in thru college mags, I can't find mine..." So special gold star for fixing my blunders :-) JackyR | Talk 17:24, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Treasure Beach requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. -

I just happened to stumble across the article on West Buckland School and just wanted to compliment you on this fine article. As a recent ex-pupil, anything I can do to help with the article, just let em know and I'll be glad to assist. Kindest regards, HJ Mitchell ( talk) 20:25, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (
consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot ( talk) 19:19, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for this edit. However if you add information to an article please cite the source from when it came. If you are unsure how to cite the ONDB then simply copy the text at the bottom of the ONDB article in this case:
Stephen K. Roberts, ‘Keble, Richard (d. 1683/4)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008
accessed 14 June 2013
However there is a nifty template which can help fill out the details called {{ cite ODNB}}. At its simplest all you need add is:
{{Cite ODNB|id=15233 |title=Keble, Richard (d. 1683/4)}}
which produces
The as you will see from the documentation of the template, it can take a number of additional parameters for things like author. I have added the template to the Richard Keble article using some of these additional parameters.
