[edit] Young Indiana Jones

Great job in fleshing that section out! Where did you find out all of the historical characters that appear in the show? The Wookieepedian 19:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

  • I dumped the episode cast lists from IMDB and the official IJ site, and worked on the assumption that any character with two names was probably real, and googled those I didn't recognize. As a bit of a history nut (why I enjoyed the shows in the first place) I knew most of them anyway. dawkeye 19:44, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Cool. Would you be interested in helping me expand and flesh out the article then? The Wookieepedian 20:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Francisco Javier Mina

Good job on the article. I'd been meaning to get to it, but it was still some way in the future. I've been working on colonial Mexico, with a few articles from the War of Independence. Rbraunwa 19:58, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Zappa trivia section

I noticed your edit on this section. It clearly improves it a lot!!! I still think there is way too much trivia relative to the length of the article. However, it is difficult to cut out big chunks. I have suggested that the section could become an independent article in itself. See Talk:Frank Zappa. If you have an opinion on this, please let us know. Thanks! --HJ 10:18, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battleships

Please do not wikify, as you call it, the infoboxes on the battleship articles that I have created. Doing so not only destroys the date linkages, but it also totally erases the data on the armour carried, which is of fundamental importance. I hope you will not take it amiss if I revert your changes.--Anthony.bradbury 00:10, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Additional comment; the box which I create is neater, and more attractive-looking, than the wiki-box you inserted. And, as I say, mine contains more data. I have reverted your edits. While we all know that all articles are subject to merciless editing, it is not done to remove data, as you have done. (Data on armour protection)----Anthony.bradbury 00:21, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Also, when ships received a change in armament, sticking it all in the one box, as you have done, is scrappy and much less clear than the way I did it. Talk to me.--Anthony.bradbury 00:50, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Really, please talk to me.--Anthony.bradbury 00:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. Quite right - revert away. I am sorry for the delay in replying but its been some week. First I come down with the flu, which I suspect accounts for my lack of editing judgement on your pages, then my broadband internet connection decides to quit on me for two days. dawkeye 22:46, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Anyways - what I was trying to do there was - I think - to make the tables look less like this ...

WikiThanks

Thanks for expanding (= creating) the article on Counter Intelligence Corps. -- Petri Krohn 10:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CP

Thank you for taking the time to report copyright violations (e.g. Timoney). This is to let you know that the contents of an article should be blanked/replaced when adding the {{copyvio}} template. Happy editing, and merry christmas! :) - Mailer Diablo 14:30, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Book cover

This is to let you know that I've orphaned the fair use image Image:Coral island.JPG, and replaced it with Image:Coral Island 1893.jpg, an image in the public domain. For more information, see the book cover replacement project. Thanks. Chick Bowen 01:55, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:TheRightStuff.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:TheRightStuff.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. This is an automated message from BJBot 09:44, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

It was a bug and has been long fixed. Thanks for letting me know. BJTalk 22:02, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Could you help me write this article?

Hello,

I was wondering if you would be willing to help me write either Seikichi_Iha or Shorin-ryu_Shido-kan. Tkjazzer 21:48, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missing aircraft

Hi Dawkeye and thanks for the work you're putting into whittling away the "Missing aircraft". When you've contributed one, could you also please make sure that it's linked from the List of aircraft? Cheers --Rlandmann 08:59, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Konrad Kujau

Hi Dawkeye, thanks for your interest in Konny Kujau. I was person of his "inner circle" but I never heard that his second firstname was "Paul". Please tell me about the source.

Greathings from germany --Telephil 22:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Everything I added to the article was from Robert Harris's 1986 book "Selling Hitler" (as referenced on the Kujau article). Chapter 9 begins :
"In Konrad Paul Kujau, alias Konrad Fischer, alias Peter Fischer, alias Heinz Fischer, alias Doctor Fischer, alias Doctor Kujau, alias "The Professor", alias "The General", known to his many friends as "Konny", Gerd Heidemann had at last met his match: someone whose talent for inventing stories was equal to his own capacity for believing them."

[edit] Specs requests

Sir, could you take a look at UH-1N Twin Huey and UH-1N Twin Huey articles? I'm having trouble finding updated specs for them, especially the UH-1Y. THanks. - BillCJ 18:44, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Songsfromthevictoriouscity.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Songsfromthevictoriouscity.jpg. I notice the image 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Just wanted to thank you for bravely tackling the Engrish that was Yokosuka D4Y! Maralia 13:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Both of you deserve a hearty "You go!" Binksternet 14:30, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aircraft categories

Hi Dawkeye - you've done quite a lot to populate some of the "ghost town" aircraft categories like Category:High wing aircraft. Up until the last few days, it seems that you were actually the only person using them, and we're having a discussion over on Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Aircraft about whether to keep them at all. Obviously you feel they have a place, so we'd love to get your input! Cheers --Rlandmann (talk) 00:18, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:AlanFletcherGraphics.png

Thanks for uploading Image:AlanFletcherGraphics.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 18:41, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Categories for deletion

Hi again - just a courtesy note to let you know that I've just nominated eight categories based on unremarkable aircraft features for deletion, as my note to you in December. The categories in question are:

Cheers. --Rlandmann (talk) 02:33, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox Class - Infobox Ship Class

Hi - {{Infobox Class}} and {{Infobox Ship Class}} are deprecated and will soon be nominated for deletion. I notice that you are using these templates and wanted to inform you that they will no longer function once the templates are deleted. They have been replaced by using {{Infobox Ship Begin/doc}}. Thanks :) --Brad (talk) 07:35, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Charleston Class Infoboxes

These are nice infoboxes, but the captions are not showing up on the photos in them. In at least some cases, the captions exist, but don't show up. Captions of ship photos often contain important information, IMHO. Lou Sander (talk) 03:58, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
