[edit] York/Leander

I don't particularly mean to debate the essentials of what class comes first, or what class can be considered just a run on from a preceding class, but I strongly feel that we should be consistent. At the moment, our List of cruiser classes of the Royal Navy lists light cruisers together in the order that they developed, and the heavy cruisers in the same style, but seperate from an independent to the other classes. I feel it would be a mistake to try and link across these divides. If they were originally classed as light cruisers, then they should be listed together as such and the links made within the wider class. If we try and link between a light cruiser class and then a heavy cruiser, then back to a light cruiser, etc. then we are creating a confusing situation and where really do you draw the line, in that it's a short step from linking from light cruiser to heavy cruiser to battleship to minesweeper to submarine classes which I definately think is too confusing, so I'd be in favour of changing it back to how it was before. Benea 17:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Any thoughts on this? Benea 15:59, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
I've raised the issue on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ships, to see what other people think. Kind regards, Benea 16:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Royal Navy (escort)

Came across this old template of yours today. It's apparently not used (anymore), what say we get rid of it? Maralia 03:53, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh yes! I had no idea it was even there, that was before I discovered sandboxes and worked out how to write templates! I'll nom it now. Emoscopes Talk 18:42, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! Maralia 19:04, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Royal Bank of Scotland Group

Hi, I added the photo of the head office back. The St Andrews Square office is the registered head office of the Group. You can confirm this via Companies House by searching here [1]. Thanks Thunderwing 13:55, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Last battle of the battleship Bismarck - Damage to Rodney

Hello, Emoscopes!

Thank you for pointing out that a citation was needed for the sttatement that HMS Rodney was damaged during her engagement with Bismarck. Unfortunately, I have been to busy to do much work on Wikipedia lately, and did not get round to adding my reference before you deleted the statement. I was surprised that you charcterised the statement as 'disinformation'; even had the statement been proved to be wrong, it seems a little harsh to imply that it was inserted in bad faith.

I have now restored the statement to the text (though not to the infobox, where it seems to me inappropriate), and added an explanatory section to the talk page. If you still have a problem with this, can I suggest that you post to the Talk page?

Regards, John Moore 309 15:20, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Midland Bank

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:GEC logo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:GEC logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia 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. Note that any non-free media 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. PxMa 19:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:GPO badge.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) 17:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Caspian sea monster"

Hi. At Caspian you defined the "Caspian sea monster" as a "wing-in-ground effect vehicle", which I can't understand. Does that mean "winged ground-effect vehicle", maybe? —JerryFriedman (Talk) 23:13, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, that helped. It sure is a confusing name. I gather it's saying that the wings are in the ground effect, which doesn't make sense to us uninitiated people. I think it should be written "wing-in-ground-effect vehicle", instead of the two ways it's hyphenated at Wing-In-Ground effect vehicle, and I may suggest that at the article, which also needs a whole bunch of redirects. —JerryFriedman (Talk) 04:20, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sea Dart missile.png

Hi! Could you move this nice picture from en:wiki to Commons Server, please? --Matrek (talk) 06:11, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

I believe that it has been released under the appropriate licences for you to go ahead and do this. Emoscopes Talk 10:03, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
yeah, I have done this already, but that was your own - nice - work, so I felt uncomfortable moving this picture myself. Best regards --Matrek (talk) 06:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I am glad that you appreciate my contribution and I am more than happy for you to move anything I have created over to the commons (I do this as standard for new illustrations, I just haven't got round to going back over some of my older work). Emoscopes Talk 09:03, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 3-view / ortho |thumb| use

Just wanted to let you know that if an image isn't thumbnailed, it actually lists the caption in the title="" tag, which is supported by all browsers on hover, rather than the alt="" tag, which you are correct in saying is not. The section looks much cleaner without the thumbnail frame, and 3-views generally need no captions; if being viewed in a text-only browser, the title tag is substituted anyway. ericg ✈ 17:33, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, what I meant was, if you have the wikipedia popups javascript, then you don't get image description / caption mouseover, as you get the popups tool instead. Emoscopes Talk 18:11, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
I see. Is this something we should be concerned about? ericg ✈ 02:23, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Without knowing how many people use popups, I couldn't say how many people this would "affect", it's just always been my practice to put images in as thumbs so that the caption / description is visible to all as there's nothing more infuriating than an image in a book that doesnt say what it is!

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:BT (old T).png

Thanks for uploading Image:BT (old T).png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

The following images also have this problem:

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Lothian Buses Logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Lothian Buses Logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 07:23, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
