TomStar81/Archive 5: I wish to thank you for your support in my unsuccessful bid at becoming an Assistant Coordinator for the Military history WikiProject. Rest assured that I will still be around, probably even more than before, and I have the utmost confidence in the abilities of the current and new coordinators. I might also mention that I am already planning on running again in August. As always, if you need anything, just get in touch. - MBK 004 21:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey! There isn't any chance of you wanted to adopt me is there? It's just that i would love some help from someone as experienced and as versatile as you. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ( talk) 17:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
I meant this kind of adoption -
Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User.
If there's any chance you'd want to "adopt" me, and teach me the ins and outs of wikipedia then i would love that!

Please have a look at the DRV for Leo J. Meyer (currently seen at User:Meyerj) located at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 March. Its my opinion that the article met the standards for verifiability and notability. I would appreciate your input into the matter. Mrprada911 ( talk) 18:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Sure, I wasn't aware there was a current DRV and its over a month since the prior AfD was concluded. A deletion at AfD isn't necessarily a permanent bar to recreation, and from his statement (which I took on faith, not having seen the deleted version) Meyerj has done some significant work to the article in the interim. Some folks are a bit too speedy with their speedy tagging. I've commented in the DRV - and anyway, non-controversial articles are not uncommonly restored during a DRV so folks can know what they are talking about. Avruch T 20:07, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, do you think all ships that served in a war, should be in the Wikiproject of the country where the war happened? e.g. Wikiproject Kuwait for the Gulf 1. Or do u think it should just be for ships that played a major role in said war? [1] Ryan4314 ( talk) 12:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I finally finished that rewrite I mentioned to you. It's on the Wikipedia mainspace now, an article HMS Cardiff (D108), I'd really value your input given your area of expertise. I know you're busy of course, so don't worry if you can't mate :) Ryan4314 ( talk) 00:23, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Tom, sorry to disturb you, if you can't allocate any spare time to my little project just ignore this message, I totally understand, I know how demanding uni work can be.
I've done all the things suggested on the peer review, apart from the biggest thing (the "flow"), but that's just because I'm too lazy to rewrite a rewrite straight away.

Can I invite you to particpate in our new assessment drive? It's strictly for experienced wiki-gnomes and has a degree of friendly competition built-in. It involves re-evaluating around 3500 Milhist B-Class articles to ensure they match our new criteria. As ever, we're offering a range of awards as our way of expressing our thanks. The drive doesn't start until 18:00 (UTC) on March 10 but you can sign up in advance here. It would be great if you can spare the time, -- ROGER DAVIES talk 05:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I have hastily knocked together a sample treatment of an alternative format for the aforementioned page and posted it to the article's talk page. As you have weighed in on the previous version, I would invite your comments on the alternate I am proposing. Do you think this would make the page more worth keeping? Is it worth the effort to redo the whole page? Is the whole concept a lost cause? Inquiring minds want to know.

Tom, since I have your sandbox watchlisted, I saw you new addition regarding your academic predicament. I would suggest that you postpone an RfA until your academic standing is confirmed one way or the other, not only for the benefit of relieving stressors (having an RfA and that at the same time), the fact that the issues from your previous 2 RfAs will be analyzed in detail (I expect multiple questions on that subject), but also your activity-level and possibility of burning-out here since academics do come first.

Hi. I wish to thank you for assessing the South Armagh sniper article. This evaluation could be, however, a short living one; you should be alredy aware that an editor has placed a merging tag. His proposal is based on what he considers "total bollocks" in some parts of the text, OR and unsourced statements. Since you have assessed the article a B class, I invite you (if you can) to take part in the debate on whether merging or not. I think that merging in practice applies only to stubs, not to B class articles. Sorry for taking your time. Thanks in advance.-- Darius ( talk) 03:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, a note to say it's good to see those wikibreak notices removed, even if it may only be temporary. We've never interacted outside of MILHIST but I've certainly enjoyed so many of your articles, which on occasion really been inspirational to me despite being fundamentally different to my usual scope of interest (well, disregarding the MILHIST aspect).

On 30 March, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Montana class battleship, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
The templates to use are {{ Cref}} and {{ Cnote}}. You can see an example of how they are used on Che Guevara, which has a substantial number of explanatory notes. It's not the most elegant solution, but it's the only way I know of to generate separate sections for content notes and citations. Let me know if you need any help implementing it.

Hakuro was a one-episode character with almost no relevance in the other characters (at least no notable). I guess other non-notable characters can be deleted. Some characters lists need to be merged, for now I was thinking in merging the two state alchemist articles in one and the two homunculi lists in one. The information of those lists can be reduced and we could use grupal images to avoid non-free tags. Regards. Tintor2 ( talk) 23:46, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

User pages use a subpage structure (see Wikipedia:Subpages). The software only recognizes subpages as pages following a / in certain namespaces. (Which is why things like talk page archives are always /Archive_1, /Archive_2, etc.) Thus, your page wasn't in your user space, but was in fact floating in the user namespace. If you would like it restored, please let me know. Cheers. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 18:56, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello my old buddy Tom, how are you?
Tom, while making a thorough research and verifying the sources provided, I not only discovered that Major General Terry de la Mesa Allen was not a recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross, I also discovered that the article is not an "original" article as required by Wikipedia policy, but an article which infringes the copyrights of the National Timerwolf Association and Time Inc. It is a paste job using content from both sites which is in violation of copyright laws. See the following evidence and judge for yourself: Terry Allen ©1999 National Timberwolf Association and Terry Allen and His Men Copyright © 2008 Time Inc. All rights reserved. What do think?
I don't know who handles this type of thing, but was wondering if you could forward this concern to someone who knows how to handle this type of thing. Tony the Marine ( talk) 03:21, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Tom,
Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:Iowa 16 inch Gun-EN.svg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on April 17, 2008. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2008-04-17. howcheng { chat} 23:18, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi, as a former contributor to HMS Cardiff's peer review, I thought you maybe interested to see I've nominated the article for an "A" class review here. Don't feel pressured to vote, a mere comment on the articles progress (or lack of) since you last night would be muchly appreciated. Ryan4314 ( talk) 15:13, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I've had a Level 5 (MOS) copyedit performed on USS Texas (BB-35) after a request at WP:MHL, and there are some things that I could use your input on since you found and added some of the references. There is a list of things here on my talk page. I'll try to work out some of them, but I'd appreciate your help when you get a chance. Also, the change in the article is quite awesome, take a look at this. I'm also thinking about taking this article to A-Class and possibly FAC during the summer. - MBK 004 02:43, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Nice addition to the article. There is something you may know enough to fix, and it wouldn't take long. There are several different abbreviations in the article: NGFS, NGS, NSFS, and maybe more. I have the feeling they all refer to the same thing. If they do, they should be combined into one abbreviation. Maybe you could do it. Lou Sander ( talk) 01:43, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I'll leave it to you handle the articlepages, though I strongly suggest that before you do any overhauling on the page - in particular with regard to adding material to the page - you take a look at boneyard located at User:Neil/gc. Proto's has already identified this article as being a cruft page, and it will in time have an afd filed asking for its deletion; when that time come the best defenses will be a page deviod about half the uneeded material there now and a page with citations. This isn't meant to be a meant post, nor is it meant to discuorage you from editting the page, but I see in you enthusaism for the page my former self, and since 50% of the C&C material I had originally created for wikipedia has been deleted I am trying not to lose anymore pages related to the series.

Hi Tom. I have just added some cites and references to the GADA 601 article, as required by the assessment you made. Almost all of them are in Spanish, since the issue (praeter the Malvinas/Falklands war) is almost ignored by English sources. Curiously, one of the authors is an American historian, Robert Potash.

I suffer from this too, although not to the extent it sounds like you do. Some things that help me:
1) Avoid acidic, spicy, and greasy foods, especially right before bed. No kielbasa with ketchup right before turning in. More alkaline foods are a better choice. Here's a chart: [2].
2) Don't overeat. Breakfast should be your biggest meal, with something like oatmeal or cold cereal with fruit, not sausages and bacon, then have lighter meals later on, like sandwiches.
3) Sleep in a partially upright position. A reclining chair allows you to adjust the angle.
4) Take over-the-counter antacids, like Tums or Rolaids. The ones with calcium are better for you.
5) Don't drink soda. I drink water with some lemon juice for flavor (not enough lemon to make it significantly acidic). Milk (not skim) helps when you are having an attack.
6) Keep a food diary and note what you ate and drank right before a reflux attack, and avoid those in the future. StuRat ( talk) 14:23, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi mate, don't reply if you're working, what do you think of this FAQ? LOL something else I nicked of Wisky Ryan4314 ( talk) 23:36, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Your excellent article on the USS Wisconsin states that the devastating March 19, 1945 strike on the USS Franklin (CV-13) was a kamikaze attack, but that is the only place I can find that does so. Franklin was the target of 3 kamikaze the previous October, but the incapacitating attack appears to have been a "normal" one.
Note that I have not read any of the books referenced in your article, just followed the links at the bottom of the Franklin article.
All of the above notwithstanding, I think you've written an outstanding article on the Wisconsin. A model of that battleship was the first model my father ever built for me, almost four decades ago. I still have it, though it's covered in dust (those 40mm and 20mm gun mounts are impossible to dust!).
Keep up the great work. WeeWillieWiki ( talk) 18:01, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

No, it was as much my fault as yours. I moved the page a split second after you did, which made the correct page have more than one item in its history, is why we can't move it back there now. I asked an admin to sort it out. J.delanoy gabs adds 00:17, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
