I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Donald Henry 'Bob' Burns, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Donald Henry 'Bob' Burns. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. I accept your case and so I will just propose to be deleted, this will depend of the consensus reached. --Francisco Valverde 17:48, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
I think I will remove that, Francisco, though it seemed a little unethical to me to do so myself. I've been working on the article, and will continue to do so. At the moment, i'm searching the web for other references. Just located this one: http://agham.asti.dost.gov.ph/1998/5th/fun/peejay/body.htm. Okay. I'll try out the signature procedure...another first, for me.

[edit] Your edits to Supermarine Spitfire
The instructions and directions for where to ask questions if you don't understand how the template works are at the top of the list of specs. If the fields are left blank, they will simply not show up in the output. Deleting them creates extra work for users wanting to expand the specs. Furthermore, the WP:Air manual of style dictates only one set of specifications per page, for the most notable variant which was most definitely not the Mk.XII. Therefore, these specifications have been removed. - Emt147 Burninate! 00:10, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bermuda Sea Cadet Corps
Excellent :) I added Template:Naval cadets to it and added in the Bermuda link and flag. Easy template to edit. if you add any more Naval Cadet Organisations please add the template (and edit it to include them). It adds to the Category:Naval Cadet Organisations automatically Fiddle Faddle 21:30, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Aye, Aye
Right you are. I won't be adding any more Naval Cadet Organisations, though I'll be adding an army cadet one (Bermuda Cadet Corps).

[edit] Your edits to Bermuda
Hi, please see my discussion notes, under the header "Black Bermudians" so that we can discuss the passage on demographics. In short, I think a passage in there should be referenced before we can put it into the article. --D'Olivier 12:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] My Edits
Hallo. What do you think needs to be referenced, what type of reference would you accept, and to what end do you think it needs to be referenced, and how would the reference achieve that end?
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Royal Artillery Cap Badge.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Royal Artillery Cap Badge.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "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.

[edit] Fact tagging
Kindly cease removing fact tags without actually providing support to the associated statement. Note I'm also going to remove the padding you've added to the SAS intro, it can go in later in the article, the intro is not the place.ALR 18:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- Did you put it in later in the article, or did you just remove it. It doesn't need a fact tag. Any book on special forces, or on the SAS specifically, will say the same.

- I've removed it, please look at the section further down the article and make your changes, they didn't suit a wholesale cut and paste. The point requires substantiation from a reliable source, at present it is merely opinion, and that applies to many of the books on the Regiment as well.ALR 18:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
What would a reliable source be, then? If you mean an official government statement, that's not likely to exist. That the SAS has been the model for other forces certainly is part of historical record....the information you refer to further down the page aptly illustrates that. It's quality may be a subjective statement, but it's role modelling certainly isn't.
[edit] Bermuda Airport
I just wanted to thank you for your additions to Bermuda International Airport. They really enhance the page and it's good to finally have some more information on this airport. I made a couple grammar edits to it, but excuse me if I am in the wrong. I also removed the stub templates because they are not needed now. Thanks. NcSchu 20:50, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bermuda Airport
You're very welcome. I'd put in pages on the airfield's previous lives as US Army/USAAF, USAF, USN bases, and on the other air stations in Bermuda, and eventually got round to adding to this one. I've trillions of pics as I was an airport policeman there, and I'll get around to tacking more in, perhaps. Aodhdubh 20:56, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What is your source for Sea Venture construction info?
I really enjoyed your additions to the Sea Venture entry. May I ask your exact source of the information on the ship's probable construction in Aldeburgh in 1608 for £1,500? I am doing a research project on the Sea Venture and have never come across that information and would very much like to know the source. I see you list P. M. Wright's Sea Venture Story as a reference. Is that the source? I have never seen that book (just one library has it in the U.S.). Thanks very much. Seastories 10:12, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] source
Hallo. Feel free to write me at my e-mail.
Source is almoste certainly that pamphmlet, though I'll have to check. I've had a lot on my plate since writing that, but it's the only publication I remember checking. I have my own copy, and I'll happily scan it and email it to you (it's small). A late friend of mine wrote a biography on Sir George Somers that you may also find useful, though I'm not sure if it's still in print (Sir George Somers, a Man and His Time, by David F. Raine, Pompano publications). I have a copy, but it's too large to scan and e-mail, I think. I can point you in the right direction to finding a copy, though...

[edit] Source for this image?
Image:Bermuda_sloop_race.jpg could you please add what source you scanned to create this digital image? It looks like it was scanned from a book. Also, what does "(E M Gosling)" mean? Thanks - Davandron | Talk 14:09, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Source
The image was indeed scanned from an out-of-print book, "Sailing In Bermuda: Sail Racing in the Nineteenth Century", by J.C. Arnell. It covers the development of sail racing in Bermuda in the 19th Century (which involved racing working sloops on the weekends), and which gave rise to the development of scaled down, dedicated racers known as Bermuda Fitted dinghies. The author of the book collected photographs from many sources, which he credited. E M Gosling was either the original 19th Century photographer, or provided the print used in the book. That wasn't made clear in the book, though the latter is more likely.

[edit] Is Classic Boat article used with permission?
Can you link to the text on the sloop foundation where it says this article is used with permission? It looks great, just want to make sure its not a copyright problem. Thanks - Davandron | Talk 05:48, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Erm?
Where it is used here with permission, or where it is used there with permission? I'll have a look, but I'm busy writing a Bermuda Fitted Dinghy article, just at the moment....
Aodhdubh 06:39, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- Nevermind, sorry... :^) I see the link now on the front page of the bermuda sloop website, so I assume its with permission. - Davandron | Talk 14:55, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
No worries. I assumed so, also.
