Very nice start on the subject article -- I've linked back to it from the Raytheon article, and will try to add a bit more detail on the ALR-67(V)3 when I get a chance.

Would you have any objection to renaming (moving) the article to "ALR-67 Radar Warning Receiver"? This would make the title more descriptive in category listings. Engineer Bob 09:27, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Metric userbox template

[edit]

I'd like to know why you decided to alter this Babelbox? I spent a good number of minutes trying to get to a unique colour scheme that worked and, if you don't mind me saying, I'm not really down with yr. new one. It was originally created for my userpage, where it was for quite a while, before I decided to post it on the list of userpage boxes, to share it with others of my persuassion, but as its creator, I take a certain degree of exception to it being altered stylistically. I know you stated that it was because it was hard to read in yr. edit summary, but I've seen on it several monitors - (both CRT and TFT) - and I gave this issue some brief thought when I was making the template, but after I checked it with my brightness setting on low, I figured it was fine. What I'm saying is that it was designed for my use and that I let others use it, provided they think it [in its intended original design] would look good on their own userpage.

Thanks for yr. time, Aaron (talk) 00:55 (GMT), 14 December 2005

Don't sweat it, I've altered it to something entirely new myself. If yr. okay with it, then I guess we're both happy.
I realised shortly afterwards that I'd taken yr. alteration I little too close to heart, but it had just happened at when of those moments when I was, at that exact point in time, annoyed with Wikipedia and it kind of felt like unintentional vandalism by proxy. I hope yr. cool with my own new version.
I guess you'll probably realised that when you do anything on Wikipedia, there's always two dozen eyes looking at your work, so make sure you consult/discuss and, of course, try to please the masses. That way you'll find less angry messages on yr. talk page.
Take care and hope you enjoy yr. Christmas, Aaron (talk) 21:15 (GMT), 18 December 2005

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there! -- user:zanimum

[edit]

Bonjour/bonsoir; comment allez-vous?

Engineering Wikia (formerly a wikicity) has only two engineers making serious contributions at present, and one of them is in his mid-80s. Your list of contributions there is still too short to need scrolling. Your thermometer here suggests that you're not too stressed yet - so how about looking in from time to time? (I can almost guarantee that nobody will give you any harsh criticism!)

Au revoir! Robin Patterson 11:59, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That source you posted wasn't reliable, so I changed it to a redirect. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:43, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Microconnect Distributed Antennas, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Microconnect Distributed Antennae. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 22:37, 23 June 2008 (UTC) The reason you got this "stupid bot [message]" was because you had created the new article with a copy&paste instead of a move. You have been contributing here for long enough to know better. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 07:57, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have granted rollback to your account. Please be sure to read WP:ROLLBACK thoroughly and be sure to use to tool to revert no more than simple vandalism, or the function will be removed accordingly. Happy editing to you. Keegantalk 06:45, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Oh dear. I see you've just been granted rollback and are choosing to use it to edit war over adding a category :-( Personally I'm not sure if we should have the article at all but it surely belongs in that category if we do. Theresa Knott | The otter sank

Your signature

[edit]

Hey there, TheGerm. I noticed your signature just now and saw it had an image in it. According to our signature guideline, we ask that users not use images in their signatures for a large number of reasons - mainly that it has the risk of really slowing down the servers, and it also makes it difficult to track where the images are actually being used. Could I ask you to remove it, please? It's possible you might be able to replace it with a unicode character that looks similar. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know. Thanks. Hersfold (t/a/c) 02:47, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Corangamite CMA page

[edit]

I have been asked by the 10 CMA's in Victoria to make thses pages. How do I indicated this so they are not deleted?

Also, I work for the State gov down here in Victoria and we are about to make a whole lot of pages on our Department (DSE) Wil i have similar issues and how do I work around them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Louiseann76 (talkcontribs) 03:18, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again,
I now understand where you come from. The reason why I tagged the article was because of this sentence: "Our role as manager of the Barwon through Geelong in particular provides an excellent platform to engage with thousands of people in Victoria’s largest regional city." so I imagine you took the text from a website... which is not referenced (see WP:CITE for some help on referencing articles).
The other page you worked on - Corangamite - is not written appropriately, and I will therefore put a wikify tag. Thanks for your efforts and I will try to help tomorrow... (it's getting late in Canada!!!).
Thanks, --ŦħęGɛя㎥ 03:28, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks, I will try to fix them while you sleep! (the CCMA page, I thought I had gotten rid of the OUrs and We's, I must have missed that one. They wrote the text for me) Louiseann76 (talk) 03:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

G Premjee, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for companies in particular. Please follow the links above for more details.

Flag icons

[edit]

Hi. The consensus so far has been not to decorate AFV infoboxes with flag icons, as per WP:FLAGCRUFT#Help the reader rather than decorate. I notice you cite WP:WEAPON in your edit summaries, but I see nothing there but some examples without flags. Michael Z. 2008-09-01 03:44 z

Good day Michael, your manual of style DOES recommand the use of a flag for the AFV infoboxes : "Flag icons may be appropriate as a visual navigational aid in tables, infoboxes or lists provided that citizenship, nationality or jurisdiction is intimately tied to the topic at hand, such as comparison of global economic data or reporting of international sporting event results, and cannot be expressed better with text. They should always be accompanied by their country names at least once."
In the case of the AFV infoboxes, the flag gives the reader a quick reference about the nationality (i.e. Soviet vs Russian, US vs Canadian, ect). Thanks, and have a great day! --ŦħęGɛя㎥ 13:31, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, again. The guideline doesn't say “put flags in all infoboxes.”
You'll notice that the examples cited are lists of items, when the topic of the list is intimately tied to nationality. For example, adding flags to the lists of generals in battle boxes can show you at a glance e.g. that out of a couple dozen generals on one side, most were German, but a minority came from other countries. Decorating the name of a solitary country with a flag doesn't provide a “navigation aid ... which cannot be expressed better with text,” unless you count the absolutely illiterate as part of the article's target audience.
You'll also notice that the examples of infoboxes on the page don't have flags (or didn't, until you just added them—some editors might consider it somewhat graceless to change a guideline to fit your view and then cite it to support an argument).
This has been discussed numerous times, and meets with consensus. For example, lately at Template talk:Infobox Weapon#Flags. If you have a problem with it, please bring it up again there or at WT:MILHIST, and get some support to change the practice. Otherwise, please don't add flags to solitary country names. Michael Z. 2008-09-01 14:00 z

Discussion posted on Template talk:Infobox Weapon#Flags, but I removed the "graceless" comment.

Helen Clark

[edit]

It looks as though you have reverted the article Helen Clark back to a state from several years ago. I presume this was an accident. If you really meant to remove so much material, perhaps you could explain on the talk page.

Yep. Sorry for the weirdness with me reverting myself twice. I hit cancel because I reverted something else right afterward that I didn't want to, and it undid my reversion on your talk page.

Hi, I notice you CSD G4-ed WorkSessions, but there is no indication of where the duplicated content was from, and the delete log for that particular page is empty. As such, I have declined speedy deletion, but if you can point me to where it originally was (or if I'm missing something really obvious), I'll be happy to reverse myself. Also, the notability of the company is pretty shaky anyway, I'm pretty sure that there would be a delete consensus if it were to go to AfD. Lankiveil (speak to me) 01:44, 6 September 2008 (UTC).[reply]

What exactly by naming convention says that those should be the names? I'm not arguing, I'm just asking so I can look into how to properly style the title of the article. Keegan (talk) 05:37, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
After figuring out the correct name for the page, you can rename is by moving it to a new name. See Help:Moving a page for helping on renaming a page. When you move a page, its history goes with it. You may want to consider adding redirects too for other names that should take the user to the same page, even if you don't end up renaming the original pages.—C45207 | Talk 05:57, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:01, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

March Madness 2017

[edit]

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
