[edit] Fixed Everything

G['day Nick, Fixed all you asked thanks for the help

[edit] Australian Special Operations Command

Hi Nick, you could well be right, I was mainly trying to convey the structure more precisely, i.e. that TAG East is a subsidiary of 4RAR (rather than an equivalent unit). Cheers. Grant65 (Talk) 01:30, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 9th Div

I'm not sure what happened there. I didn't see your new material at all until just now. Maybe we both tried to save at the same time and I just beat you. It shouldn't work out the way it did though. Weird. BTW, as usual, good stuff there and well done. Grant65 | Talk 04:45, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 34th Bde/RAR

Nick, my source (an Army History Unit article) simply said that the 34th (and its Bns) was renamed/restructured as RAR. If you have better information, that's all good. But the way the RAR and BCOF articles read now, the 34th Bde and the 65th, 66th and 67th Bns still exist, parallel to the RAR. It's ambiguous. I think we need something to express the exact relationship between the 34th Bde and RAR. Grant65 | Talk 08:03, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Australian I Corps

G'day Nick. Can you have a look at this and check for any errors I may have made? Thanks, Grant65 | Talk 08:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 4 RAR image

Looking at speedy deletion criteria I3, that image could be deleted at any time without warning. Category:Non-commercial use only images shows you the template that would be on the page including the link to Jimbo's email announcing the new procedure. I apologize that I didn't say anything. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:58, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1RAR

Hey Nick, do you know where i can get info about the current composition of 1RAR for its article, any help is appreciated . Regards hossens27 12:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the info much appreciated, do you have any thoughts on how to further improve the article. Regards Hossens27 13:01, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:ADF Command.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:ADF Command.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 23:41, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Just a quick comment. You have noted on the page for Image:ADF Command.JPG that the image was "released into the public domain". it wasn't. CoA maintains copyright on it. Releasing something into the public domain has a specific meaning. --Myk 02:59, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RAAF C-17s

The source is informal but close to the information, but I expect it to be in the public statements soon. There are only a few candidate squadrons based upon the press release info anyhow, independent of what I posted. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 12:18, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 25 pounder

The only reason the vote was even was because no one bothered to inform me about it. As the main author of the main article, I would have voted for inclusion. Obviously, it's one paragraph, the original split is dumb. I am re-merging. Maury 13:09, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fleet Air Arm Squadrons

I think that the squadron numbers for the RAN's FAA should follow the same pattern as for the Fleet Air Arm. I've attached what seems to be the only FAA squadron article for No. 849 Squadron FAA. Hope this helps. Hammersfan 5 March 2006, 18.00 GMT

[edit] Portal:Military of Australia

Hey nick just letting you know that i just started a Military of Australia Portal thought you moight be interested. Also could you give me a hand on the intro to the portal not sure how to properly discribe the military of Australia. Hossens27 09:31, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Military History

Hi there,

Can you please have a look at Iron Range National Park, Qld, Rattlesnake Island near Townsville, Palm ISland, near Townsville and Mt Louisa Townsville.

YOu might be able to add further info/links to these wikis if you are interested Peter

[edit] ADF

I've replied to your comments here; hopefully I've made the reasons for my concern a bit more clear. Kirill Lokshin 09:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Referencing your user page

Hi Nick

I've just coded up a link to your user page, as part of an endnote in an external article. It is in the endnotes for: Richard Tanter, 8 June 2006, Ten questions about East Timor for which we need answers, Nautilus Institute at RMIT. Let me know if you aren't happy with this. I can easily delete it or change it. Ta. -- Jonathan O'Donnell 05:27, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:Military of Australia/Equipment

Hey Nick can you give me any suggestion for more Aussie made and or developed mil equipment (besides RAN ships), im running out of ideas. Hossen27 12:32, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks Nick. Hossen27 03:21, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Great. I dont think that the Leeuwin class is a major problem, they were Australian built and as far as i know not used by anybody else. Anyway, the list features a good variety of Aus military equipment. Hossen27 13:52, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UFOs in Iraq

In light of the information of UFOs in Iraq, the US should pull all its troops out of Iraq to focus on fighting an interplanetary war against space monsters. Clearly the photos show an Earth invasion is imminent. Rintrah 11:58, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Norfolk Island Airport

Nick, are you sure that this edit is correct that the airport was used for ferrying aircraft between Australia and New Zealand? Would it not have been to ferry aircraft between New Zealand and the theatre in the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, etc? That was my understanding when I visited the island a few years ago. --Scott Davis Talk 12:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Russian Ground Forces

You'll remember me from discussion at orbat.com etc. Which specific instances in RGF do you think are unjustifiable commentary and why? Do you think I should make no comment on the efforts to raise combat readiness? Really would appreciate your help to improve the article. Cheers Buckshot06 01:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm interested in your comment on JDW. Do you think they're full of people's opinions? They pass themselves off as being experts etc. Will change the section you quoted as you suggest; my personal opinions themselves are obviously showing through. Would you mind (a) telling me anywhere else you've noticed in the article that seems POV, and (b) going back to the A class review in a few days and saying whether you're happy with it on the basis of the changes. I'd suggest you put things on rotations in Iraq under MNF-Iraq if they're old rotations, and Iraq War OB if they're current. Cheers Buckshot06 02:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Brilliant work inserting the photo of General Maslov. Great to have a photo to add to the name; I never thought of it!! Buckshot06 06:38, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey thanks Nick for your note on the FAC nomination. We'll see how it goes... Buckshot06 02:02, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, just about to drop you a note. Better to have some good info on women in the Russian forces than dreadful examples of misogenism (sp?). When we can find the good info, that is! I agree, women are probably treated poorly (when they're not being sexually assaulted!). Buckshot06 08:18, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. Do you want to cooperate on something else? Next project article? My new one is Red Army, so if you want to take a look at its current peer review request, that'd be welcome. Cheers Buckshot06 02:07, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Wow, you really worked over that article listing those cites!! I suppose it's back to the library for more refs!! Thanks. Buckshot06 06:22, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adelaide class frigate

The article contains the lines: "The costs of the project will be partly offset by the decommissioning of the two oldest units, with Canberra paying off in 2005 and Adelaide in 2006. The first upgraded vessel, Sydney, returned to the fleet in 2005." in the upgrade section. This seems out-of-date unless Adelaide is still in service and "paying off" means the same thing as "paid off" - We would use stricken or decommissioned in American English. Rmhermen 16:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] M Special Unit

Hey, just letting you know that I created M Special Unit. It's just a stub for now. --James Bond 00:42, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Axis Naval Activity in Australian waters

I think this is ready for an FA nomination now. Do you want to self-nom, or I can do it for you, as you wish. Buckshot06 09:30, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Congrats Nick! Roll on another Featured Article... Buckshot06 08:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Australian Defence Force

Yes, USMC was the only template for a single branch of a nation's armed forces, being an FA. There is no FA template for the military of an entire state. Because Military of the Soviet Union is on my hit list, I asked Kirill for some comments, which he gave on my talk page. I'll happily do an informal review and suggestions on ADF if you wish - I'll leave it at the talk page if you like. Drop me a line saying if and where you want it.

Thanks for the photos in Red Army, by the way.

Cheers from across the ditch - it's nice and sunny here today! Buckshot06 02:22, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Goldfishsoldier

A while ago you asked me for the SAS kill ratio in the Vietnam war. Did you find that out? As for the secret combat deaths, well thats common knowledge, can't really cite that. Thankyou. Goldfishsoldier 09:31, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I found a book about the ANZAC involvement in the Vietnam war, by Richard Pelvin. He states that the SAS during their time in Vietnam had 492 confirmed kills for 2 KIA. Goldfishsoldier 23:06, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Largest POW breakout in history

Hi Nick, I just noticed your comment re Cowra. While I don't think it's that relevant to banzai charge, I did a fair bit of research on this when I wrote Cowra breakout. I couldn't find any bigger breakouts in terms of the number of prisoners involved, although it could be argued that Sobibor was more a successful escape and a more amazing story. If you're right — and you may have good reasons for your view — then a few other articles will also have to be charged, e.g. see Stalag_Luft_III#Other_large_escapes_during_World_War_II. Grant65 | Talk 11:12, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, I did find Jasenovac concentration camp, which appears to have been bigger. I guess it also depends on what constitutes a breakout/escape. Grant65 | Talk 12:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aus mil portal up for review

Hey Nick I have put the Australian Mil Portal up for review (see here). Any thoughts would be helpful. Hossen27 04:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image related to Attack on Sydney Harbour

There was an article in today's Japan Times about this subject and included a photo of the relatives of the four killed submariners greeting the ship returning their remains to Japan. Since it is a public domain image I went ahead and uploaded it to the Commons as "Image:Kamakura Maru.jpg". There doesn't, however, appear to be room for the image in the article, but if there is a Commons gallery with images related to this article then perhaps it could be included there. Cla68 03:24, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:AIF Cricket XI (AWM D00685).jpg in Australian Imperial Forces cricket team

I'm confused by the copyright information you've listed on this image, for several reasons:

1) You've used the {{PD-Australia}} template, which is for images created in Australia. However, the photo is listed as having been taken at Lord's. 2) Wikipedia cannot use images listed for non-commercial use only, except under the very limited fair use exemptions. This has been established many times as a requirement, and we certainly can't list such images as PD. 3) In any case, if the AWM still controls the commercial rights then surely the picture isn't out of copyright; I don't see how the AWM can have it both ways!

Can you help on these questions, please? Loganberry (Talk) 01:49, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the answer to that. I think as it now stands it's okay, though as you mentioned yourself in your reply I'm not sure the AWM can "require" anything of an out-of-copyright picture. In any case (as you also mention) it's British law rather than Australian that applies to this image. Cheers, though; I think the new tag is much better! Loganberry (Talk) 13:22, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:7 RAR Vietnam (AWM EKN-67-0130-VN).jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 "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] RE:Photo for Military of Australia portal

I agree a photo of a female member would be appropriate. I have no problem with the image, its not the best but seeing we cant use pics off defence.gov.au it will have to do for now, also a picture of WWI/WWII nurses would also be good. Hossen27 07:50, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sheffield - Bombers

Hi Nick, I saw your edit regarding the photo' of Stukas, in the Sheffield article. You're right, of course, the photo'should have been of JU88s (or Dornier 17s or Heinkel 111s ) and not JU87s. Do you think any of the photo's already on Wikipedia in the above articles (or others) could be used as a replacement? thanks Wikityke 14:27, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History of the Royal Australian Navy - possible female service section

Hey Nick i am considering adding a section to History of the Royal Australian Navy detailing the contribution of women to the RAN.

In response to your message, I can see where you're coming from regarding the removal of the commercial trivia, so I won't insist that it be put back. But I would like to state that it was a unique bit of the ship's history which was never done before that time, and I had a great deal of fun being involved in it.

[edit] China espionage

I agree about the title of the article. That has proved problematic as the article has already gone through a number of titles. All the information came from the bipartisan U.S. government report called the Cox Report, therefore perhaps the article should be titled Timeline of Cox Report controversy or some such, I don't know. Help yourself. I'm not much interested in the article anymore. I created it, but dropped it a while ago. The nuke tests were included because they were what caused the Energy Department scientists to conclude espionage had taken place. Look under November 1995 in the timeline. I reverted them back into the timeline. Regards, --Jayzel 04:18, 3 March 2007 (UTC)--Jayzel 04:33, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: New Zealand Crown Copyright

Unfortunately, I have fairly limited knowledge of the intricacies of licensing in this regard, and none at all of the particular situation with Australian law. All I can say is that Crown Copyright has typically been accepted in the past as sufficiently free for us to use; but my recollection of the issue predates the current push for tighter licensing control.

[edit] Re C-17 article

Hello Nick. Two comments and then I'll leave it to you:

Runway excursion means "to leave the runway" either at the end or on the side. "Over-run" means using the whole length and going off the far end.

The article does not specify, but according to the picture in the referenced article it seems the a/c left the on the side. As far as the gravity of the incident, we'll have to wait for more details. If the pilot made a mistake, its minor. If a main gear collapsed on the runway for no apparent reason, causing the runway excursion, its a major incident.

Regards, Hudicourt 02:43, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PD-Australia

Hi Nick, the pic is a good find, the Imperial War Museum doesn't seem to have any of the actually landings.

The laws are very confusing, but my understanding is that "created in Australia" can also mean "taken by an Australian in another country", and Template_talk:PD-Australia#Location_or_Person seems to confirm this. Grant | Talk 02:47, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey Nick just a quick question on the daily units on the Aus Mil portal. Obviously where about half way through the year with them, do you think we will need to repeat any units before the end of the year (mainly air force) or do you think there is enough.
