[edit] Maltese Calypso

Nice edits on that article. So do you like the song? :) Mushin^talk 16:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] JMSDF

Please indicate why you don't think it will be a blue-water navy in the future on the talk page. I have read plenty of reports that indicate it's going that way. Do you think the new DDH is just for fun? John Smith's 14:14, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Indian navy

Made changes in the blue water navy discussion section. Check it out.

[edit] INS Viraat

Describing Viraat as "old and unreliable" strikes me as both POV and probably less-than-factual in any case. On the other hand, describing her as "modernised and refurbished" is also an opinion and POV. Therefore, I think it would be more appropriate to term it a "2nd generation aircraft carrier," rather how FS De Gaulle or the Italian carrier (although she is older than those) is decribed. None of those units are possibly a match for Stennis or Truman and they dont claim to be, but they are powerful units in thier own right. Also, to be honest, you don't need a Stennis or Truman or even a De Gaulle to maintain air superority over Pakistan or Bangledesh , which is the primary function of Viraat Cheers V.

My original text was to note it as having been out of service for repairs, giving exact amount of time comissioned and amount of time under repair, and letting the reader form their own conclusion. Our Indian friend refused ot let that stand, saying it was too wordy. Since that level of detail is precise and neutral (no one has yet claimed it was pov), I7ll put it back that way.

[edit] FN Charles de Gaulle

Please help me with a WIKI arbitration on the India-Pakistan section of FN CHarles de Gaulle. There is a user who keep on reverting to claims that are (in my opinion) not WIKI rules. Please arbitrate. I do not know how to call for an arbitration. Thanks. 217.136.68.138 23:33, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm taking a break from anything to do with wet navies, and especially disputes, at least until after Guy Fawkes Night. Rhialto 23:59, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

(If you wish) There is a Straw Poll in the discussion page of the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, can you kindly participate and if you have other persons who can provide an unbiased opinion that can help. Thanks a lot. Natobxl

[edit] Humour

Hi there; I am sorry, I had no wish to offend you or anyone else. As the edit log shows, I did wait six minutes before adding the tag. May I respectfully suggest that, if you are creating an article which may involve some pauses for thought, you insert at the top of the page the template {{underconstruction}}? This will indicate that you are still working; I am sure you are aware that a lot of less serious editors do create articles of only a few words with no intention of adding to them. Happy wikying.--Anthony.bradbury 21:04, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Light-year

I posted on the article talk page about why I tagged the article. Kncyu38 05:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Replied there. Kncyu38 13:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I took our discussion into consideration and boldly edited the article, please have a look and let me know if you're happy with it. Kncyu38 07:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Nice work with the table on Light_year! Kncyu38 23:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Specification of Units

Only units named after an individual such as Newton, Pascal, Amp, Volt etc are capitalized. All others are lowercase. 23:47, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] another bot error

Over on Conversion of units, the bot converted cental (a unit name) to central, which isn't the same thing at all. Rhialto 03:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Rhialto, I'll make a note of it so it doesn't happen again. Cheers, Cmdrjameson 09:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
