[edit] Your RFA
As you can probably see, it is quite difficult to become an administrator on the English Wikipedia. Don't give up though, you'll probably pass once you get about 1000 mainspace contribs and a decent amount of talk and project edits. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 14:33, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- I was expecting it to be difficult, especially since my name hasn't been that recognized here yet...but I will mainly concentrate on the enwiki for now on, so the edits will definitively grow ;) —MoRsΞ 14:39, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Get involved in vandalism defense and reporting. Also, familiarise yourself with deletion processes (AfD, MfD, etc.) You'll do fine, I'm sure :-) Cheers, The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 18:14, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Swedish architecture
Hi there, I noticed your RfA - good luck. I've recently completed a translation from German of Swedish architecture. I'm concerned in 2 ways about the article. Firstly, I'm hoping the german article isn't a translation from swedish - if it is then there's a serious concern about factual accuracy (things getting lost in translation so to speak), Secondly the German article wasn't referenced at all. I need to add references to it.
Perhaps you'd be so kind as to read it and let me know if there's any obvious blunders and could you point me to any sources of the information that I might be able to reference (preferably in english, but swedish will do if there's no english alternative). many thanks. --Mcginnly | Natter 01:47, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your kind words and support! First, you don't have to worry about the Swedish article, it is sadly only a one-line stub. I was reading your fine article side by side with the German one, and the only thing that I changed was the link from the Royal Theatre to Royal Dramatic Theatre. As far as sources, I found 3 nice ones in English, especially the two last ones should come in handy:
- MoRsΞ 05:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

- Now I just need to translate your architecture article into Swedish! :) It is a shame and a sin that there was nothing more written about the subject in the svwiki. Mo[[User_talk:MoRsE|Rs[[Special:Contributions/MoRsE|E]]]] 11:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA questions
Just 2 questions for your RfA:
- Do you have E-mail activated?
- And how much do you vandalfight out of 0 to 4, 0 being never & 4 being most of the time?
-- Lego@lost Rocks Collide! | 00:48, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing the email issue out, I believed I had activated it, but it turned out that it wasn't. Now I have activated it so others can get in touch with me that way. I check that email account on a daily basis. I am also in the IRC-channels #wikipedia-en and #wikipedia-sv as often as I can. 2) I usually scan the new entries to try finding non-articles, vandalism or errors (e.g. naming problems) of my time here, I would say 2 goes to creating new articles, 1 to structuring the older articles and 1 to prevent vandalism. MoRsE 05:41, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your RfA
I am sorry to inform you that your Request for Adminship (RfA) has failed to reach sufficient consensus for promotion, and has now been delisted and archived. Please do not look upon this outcome as a discouragement, but rather as an opportunity to improve. Try to address the concerns raised during your RfA and, in a few months' time, resubmit your request. Thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity! Redux 22:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- This actually bothers me, man. I'm sorry about this, you do deserve the tools, though. Yanksox 23:00, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you Yanksox. I was expecting this outcome and I will try again in a couple of months time, when hopefully I have become a little more noticed. Right now I am on a trip to Finland, so I don't have access to a computer that often, but as soon as I am back I will start editing at full speed again. MoRsE 07:58, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Predicate Logic
Hi MoRsE! Thanks for contacting me. The formula you gave me was: ![(\exists x)[Cx \wedge (\forall y)(Cy \supset y = x)]](../../../../math/d/2/c/d2c0ed32c70dee893c1eb7d655fa6f60.png)
where Cx stands for "The Capital of Germany".
In my opinion, the formula says that Germany has exactly one capital.
means that if there is a y such that Cy, then y is equals to a fixed value. Thus, either there is no value for Cy or there is only one value which is x. On the other hand, the first part says "there is an x such that Cx".
I hope that this is clear enough. If it is not, contact me again. Bye! Julian Mendez 15:56, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you very much! MoRsE 17:04, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Hej Morse. I saw that you reported this user on WP:AIV.

Hi, MoRsE. Please see my comment at Talk:Finland Swedes.

[edit] Your RfA
It is with regret that I closed your nomination as unsuccessful. I believe you've shown enough good qualities to be trusted. But I'm also confident that if you increase your activity level here, and take into account the opposition to the extent that it can help you be a better asset to the project, that you will be successful in the future. And if you do that, everyone is better off anyway. Keep up the good work. - Taxman Talk 22:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- I am very disappointed that your RfA was not successful. It was within the margin of discretion for the closing bcrat and I had hoped you would be promoted. I frankly found most of the oppose votes incompressible. An administrator of your standing on Swedish Wikipedia is clearly trustworthy and no one provided a single example of how Swedish Wiki policy differs from ours. The comparisson to the edit warring of a Serbian admin was frankly insulting- what equivalent issue do they think a Swedish Wikipedian would have? Anyway I hope you are not too disheartened and will try again in future. If Wikipedias are to grow as a multicultural project it there needs to be greater cross-involvement between diferent language Wikis. WJBscribe 02:09, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for the encouragement. I am a little dissappointed right now too, as I feel that some of the against votes were irrelevant. I must see how I feel about it in a couple of months - if I'll try again.--MoRsE 07:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Handley Page V/1500
Hi there. I just saw you uprate this article from the 'mid' importance I'd assigned to 'high' importance. I'm not particularly attached to my assessment, but I was wondering what you thought was particularly important about this aircraft? (I have to say a number of the aircraft importance assessments seem 'interesting'... and the guidelines don't seem to be very clear.) Regards, The Land 17:33, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- I have made some lists of aircraft that were the most important during the different eras of aviation. I will put it up here a little later tonight when I have it ready, and all of those should be in the mid-to-top importance scale in my opinion.--MoRsE 17:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
-
- I'm still not clear on why you think this model is particularly important. I thought that the fact that it was a minor first in the development of the strategic bomber gave it some importance, but small number built and limited operational impact meant that it was of fairly limited interest. Someone would need to be looking in some detail at the history of the RAF in WWI or at the development of bomber aircraft before the V/1500 were of great interest. Perhaps I don't have all the facts! The Land 15:30, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
-
- I based my assessment on the fact that it was one of the main heavy bombers of WWi. But I can return its value to "mid".--MoRsE 15:33, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Short Brothers
I note that you have assessed this article as being of mid-importance; I wonder whether the fact that Shorts was the first aircraft manufacturer (1908) perhaps warrants greater importance.
The present owners (Bombardier] are planning centenary celebrations for next year. TraceyR 15:14, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- You are correct, then they definitively are of higher importance. I will change. --MoRsE 15:15, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
-
- That's great. Thank you. Could you perhaps put some hints/tips (e.g. on the Shorts talk page) for improving the quality rating? I am prepared to put some time into this project and would appreciate some input, so that I can concentrate on the appropriate aspects of the article. Many thanks for your help. TraceyR 15:36, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Q Stub
Hi - sorry about that, I didn't realise it was for a quality assessment scheme. Since it is, it shouldn't have a name ending in "stub", since that automatically associates I with the stub-sorting process. Any chance you can change the name of it (even just to something like "Template: Q stub-class")? Grutness...wha? 22:50, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, that is no problem at all. I will do it right away.--MoRsE 22:52, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

- You are wrong. I am not asking for a "detailed explanation" but a "short summary". If you really are interested in a quality encyclopedia then you would give the short summary requested by the guidelines and the template text. The problem you give me and other article authors is that you judge what we write but don't say how to improve the articles. If you know ebough about the aircraft to so arrogantly rate them without giving your reasons why not simply improve them youself? But, FAILING THAT, please follow the guidelines: Supply the short summary requested. Paul Beardsell 11:32, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Short SC.7 Skyvan
You recently assessed this (and several other) articles but neglected to provide a summary of the reason(s) for the assessment rating. It would be a help for the contributors to know how, in your opinion, the articles can be improved. Thank you. TraceyR 14:38, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Short Sherpa
You recently assessed this (and several other) articles but neglected to provide a summary of the reason(s) for the assessment rating. I disagree with the importance rating given (low), because the Sherpa represents an aviation first (the first aircraft to use the aero-isoclinic wings proposed by Professor Geoffrey T.R. Hill in 1951). The guidelines state: "Historical aircraft (aircraft involved in aviation firsts) usually get a Top-Class rating." Hill was also notable for designing the Westland-Hill Pterodactyl —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TraceyR (talk • contribs) 14:52, 11 February 2007 (UTC).
- Well, the reason why I gave it such a low rating is that the idea apparently never found no practical application and as far as I know it was abandoned soon thereafter. It was only tested on a handful of aircraft. There are many similar aviation first that are of little significance. I can though upgrade it a little as it is an interesting idea.--MoRsE 15:16, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dornier Do 335
Well, hardly any were built, and it didn't really pave the way for any similar designs that followed. I don't really think that aviation as we know it would be different if the Do 335 hadn't been built. But that said, I don't really think it's important enough to argue about, so I changed the rating. I guess if the Short Sherpa is worth a mid, this one is too. M Van Houten 18:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] de Havilland Comet
Mr. MoRsE, I value your opinion; would you look over the raging edit war that is occurring in the de Havilland Comet article. There appears to be an editor who has rejected others' edits and inserted a subjective, unsupported view that is very controversial. Bzuk 15:18 18 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] flagicon v. flagcountry
Re: your changes to the WWII ship list. Before you expend huge effort on this, a few issues. What's the advantage of flagcountry over flagicon? I realise that flagcountry generates the country name, but the result can take up more space on an already crowded table. I tried it and rejected it for that reason. Does it, however, provide the historically correct flags for eg, Italy, Canada, South Africa, Australia, etc? Folks at 137 16:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Emm, I just thought that it looked a little unstructured with the flags last, that's the main reason. The thing with the time specific flags, I was going to use the correct ones in the few that had an different flag at the time. MoRsE 16:14, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
-
- Yes, it does look neater that way round - my fault on the format. Is there a version that would allow "UK" and "US" and other abbreviations? Also, not usual to display "Nazi Germany", see discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Archive 49#Germany or Nazi Germany?: the consensus was just "Germany" I must try not to be too anal about this! Folks at 137 16:26, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- I don't really like the "Nazi Germany" thing either, it was just that it was a ready template. I will try to see if it can be fixed somehow. And the flagcountry template also allows US and UK. --MoRsE 16:32, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

- Looking v good. Is there a guide to creating these flags? Not sure where to look? The box [[1]] contains all (probably) of the flags used in WWII. It's also useful as a reference when needing an old flag. Any chance of applying the old flags to it, particularly as the templates seem to take less space. How do I get the UK & US abbreviations - "United Kingdom" forces an extra line in many entries. Folks at 137 09:32, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
I made this page this morning to make it easier for me. When creating the flags, one should follow the instructions on the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Flag_Template page. It gets a little complicated when you want alternative flags, and I must admit that I haven't really figured it out just yet how to create those. The {{flagcountry}} template refers to another template {{Country flagcountry2}} where you can set alternative parameters.
As for the alternative names, you can write {{flagcountry|UK|name=UK}} or {{flagcountry|USA|name=USA}}, which generates an alias name for the country after the flag. If you are looking for a specific template, you can try to go to its country article, write "Template:Country data XX" in the search field and replace XX with the country name, e.g. Template:Country data Canada. Then you get the code for several older flags in the "variants" paragraph. However, not all countries are complete though.
Another page that lists a lot of flags is this one.--MoRsE 10:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- In the Template:Country data South Africa article is the info for the South African flag template too.--MoRsE 10:26, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
-
- Please look at the revised version of the {{flag}} template. This does all that you want in a much simpler way. For example, {{flag|UK}} does the same thing as {{flagcountry|UK|name=UK}} but is obviously simpler. This mechanism supports flag variants, so {{flag|Germany|Nazi}} gives you the image and wikilink you want. I would also note that we are in the middle of trying to deprecate and delete many of the old templates such as "AFG-1997" that are referenced on your page User:MoRsE/Flags, so that page will quickly become obsolete from that respect. Hope this helps, Andrwsc 23:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- Followup: There are two ways to generate flags for Nazi Germany. If you want the wikilink to point to the Nazi Germany article but simply display "Germany", then use {{flag|Nazi Germany|name=Germany}} to generate

[edit] New Aircraft Articles
Just to say thank you for tidying up new articles i have started. I try and remember everything that is needed but sometimes forget. I have written 'must add aircraft project to talk page' as a note on my computer. Thanks MilborneOne 17:28, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello MoRsE. Thanks for your support at the Military history elections. With your aid I was able to commision this ship to help plunder the coast of Military history. Na, just kidding. If you ever require any assistance all you have to do is ask and you will see my ship on the horizon. Kyriakos 08:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC) |

[edit] Bulk link edits
Please be careful when doing bulk edits using AWB -- you edited my User talk page, where the subject under discussion specifically was the fact that certain pages were redirects; you changed the link to bypass the redirect, which pretty much invalidates the discussion. It's generally poor form to edit other people's comments on User and User talk pages, anyway, even if it is just a typo or technical correction. --Russ (talk) 18:27, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- I am sorry, that was a mistake, I will revert it if you haven't done so already. --MoRsE 18:29, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Avro Arrow
Hi Mr. MoRsE, Thanks for your help on all the aircraft projects to which I have submitted my pittance of knowledge. BTW, I wonder if you could take a look at the Avro Arrow discussion page. It seems to have degraded into a discussion over the relative merits of the decision to cancel the Arrow. However, there is an editor that has been compelled to take the discussion into a bizarre turn. He actually backs up his own opinion with comments from an unknown IP address that can be traced back to... him? I don't need anyone to intercede except for maybe an administrator but take a look and give me your opinion. Bzuk 04:39 4 March 2007 (UTC).

I nominated Battleship for FA here - you might want to help deal with the comments people leave. Sadly the first comment was extremely negative and ill-informed... The Land 10:30, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Danish translation
No problem. "Vi vil vende tilbage til dig i løbet af en uges tid" means "We'll get back to you in around one week's time". If the matter is urgent, you can contact them again 5-6 days from now but it wouldn't be polite to do it sooner. The most polite approach would be to wait a full 7-8 days. Cheers. Valentinian T / C 16:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you very very much....it is a new job offer for me ;) --MoRsE 17:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Buffinalo?
I've read Finnish pilots became aces in the F2A; do you know of any (Eng-lang) sources that can confirm? Trekphiler 20:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your recent submission to WP:OP
Hi! I just reviewed two IP address you listed at WP:OP. Upon reviewing the edits of these anon users, I ask you this: How is their removal of vandalism a sign that they are suspicious users? If you review the history of the page, you'll see that a redlinked user account vandalized the page twice. The two separate IPs were reverting that vandalism. I will still review your request as always because WP:OP is not discriminating to non-vandal IPs. ZsinjTalk 05:29, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Seems like I made a mistake here, I was led to believe that this edit was a reversion of vandalism, when in fact it was a response to something another user had added, which later had been reversed. I will remove my warnings from the user's talk pages. --MoRsE 07:21, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure it's OK. Soviet Union used L-39 in military aviation mainly but also in DOSAAF which was civil organisation.

[edit] Removing other people's work
I wrote to Recoloniser with a mild admonition that removing other people's comments on a discussion page is a presumptuos and demeaning act. This is his comment: I removed this "joke", because it has nothing to do with Fokker and was really too juvenile for words. Recoloniser 11:46, 22 April 2007 (UTC) (reproduced below)
[edit] Famous Fokkers
The name of that section is hilarious, and clearly intentional.
- This one is old and you might have heard it :) --MoRsE 07:49, 5 April 2007 (UTC) ==
- A World War II pilot is reminiscing before school children about his days in the air force. (Joke best delivered with a good thick accent
- "In 1942," he says, "the situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember, " he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these fokkers appeared.
- (At this point, several of the children giggle.)
- I looked up, and right above me was one of them. I aimed at him and shot him down. They were swarming. I immediately realized that there was another fokker behind me."
- At this instant the girls in the auditorium start to giggle and boys start to laugh. The teacher stands up and says, "I think I should point out that 'Fokker' was the name of the German-Dutch aircraft company"
- "That's true," says the pilot, "but these fokkers were flying Messerschmidts."
[edit] Comment to Recoloniser
Removing someone else's contribution especially on a discussion page is considered vandalism. As per WP:TALK, this runs contrary to the guidelines, principles and values of Wikipedia. If you must alter your own comments, it's always best to strike out your old comment using the <s> markup, so others can see what you previously wrote, editing out someone else's comments is unconscionable. Imagine how you would react if someone came by and removed your comments. I am restoring the "lame" joke in the hope that you will act more responsibly in the future and treat this as a well-meaning and well-intentioned "heads-up." I left the comment on the user's page and hopefully, that ends the incident. Respectfully, Bzuk 14:30, 22 April 2007 (UTC).
- Okay thanks Bzuk, I found it quite funny, but of course not relevant at all for the article --MoRsE 14:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spirit of St. Louis
M. MoRsE, there is a newbie editor that has insisted that the flight of the Spirit of St. Louis was the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic and has constantly reverted the article to eliminate the word "solo". He has not responded to the discussion page or to the note left on his "talk" page. These are his only contributions to Wiki articles and he continues to make spurious claims, see: [3] He will not stop the reverting although he has been politely informed that constant reversions without explanation on the discussion page is not considered appropriate. Asking for help here. Thanks Bzuk 13:43, 12 July 2007 (UTC).
- I put the article on my watch list and I'll keep an eye on it. The "solo" thing is significant. --MoRsE 07:13, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Name Ristitaipale
Stop delete old finnish names from article Körsnäs. I know that you are swedish and you wanna distroy old finnish name of Korsnäs history. --83.102.5.106 22:06, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 83.102.5.106 / 130.233.243.229
Hello,
As you might be aware, the aforementioned (at the very most) two editors insist on continually vandalising not only the article on Korsnäs, but additionally the articles on Kökar and Lemland. In so doing, 83.102.5.106 violated WP:3RR for both Lemland (see here and here).
As per 83.102.5.106's comment above, and several edit summaries referring to "Swedish vandalism," I think it's safe to assume the recent edits are more about pushing an agenda than constructively contributing to Wikipedia.
In an attempt to take their dog-and-pony show on the road, they also vandalised the francophone Wikipedia, causing an admin of the francophone Wikipedia to refer to the edit as "inutile", useless.
Furthermore, given the timing of editing from both addresses, the similar style of writing employed by "both" and the fact that one is a proxy, I have gnawing suspicion that their tag-team vandalisation is less than coincidental. -- NordicStorm (t/c) 10:05, 16 July 2007 (UTC), modified on 10:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- The articles in question have been under similar types of attacks before, and the type of editing (with multiple subsequent corrections) resembles the edits by the user Jaakko Sivonen who have been blocked several times for his POV-pushing. They are indeed trying to push their agenda here. --MoRsE 10:20, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- I know what are you aiming at. NordicStorm belong to Ålands separatist movement and MoRsE is separatist and svekoman from Pohjanmaa. You are doing everything to erase finnish name from svensktfinland but you cannot sensure it. I have many references and I will fight against your will. You are getting my very angry and you declare war to me...This war has only begun...FU! ja sama suomeksi, teillä ei ole oikeutta poistaa suomenkielisiä lähteellisiä nimiä varsinkin kun itse lisäätte ruotsalaisia miehittäjänimiä perisuomalaisiin artikkeleihin, prkle! --130.233.243.229 21:43, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- Declaring war over a few unofficial and rarely (if at all) used exonyms is a bit silly, don't you think? Somehow, you will have to get over the fact that there are Finnish place-names where the Swedish and Finnish names are identical. If your Finnish constructions do replace the official names at some point in the future, feel free to revisit the issue at that time. As it stands, Brändö is Brändö in Finnish, Kökar is Kökar in Finnish, Korsnäs is Korsnäs in Finnish. Feel free to visit their respective official websites for confirmation.
- Your contention that you can judge people on the basis of their geographical location and mother tongue is extremely revealing, though, and I will be sure to refer to this discussion in the future, should you continue with this exercise in inanity. Rest assured, you've succeeded in making your already weak case even weaker. I can only congratulate you on that accomplishment.
- Oh, and by the way, the English exonym for "Pohjanmaa" is Ostrobothnia. Try to cope. -- NordicStorm (t/c) 09:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- And for the record (though I'm really under no obligation to defend myself against such frivolous accusations such as yours), I have absolutely no problem or issue with the article on Mariehamn stating that the name of the city in Finnish is Maarianhamina. The article would, in fact, be incomplete without that piece of information. Because that's what the city is actually called in Finnish.-- NordicStorm (t/c) 12:29, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- En ole noiden IP-osoitteiden taustalla, mutta olen niiden kanssa täysin samaa mieltä. Suomea koskevissa artikkeleissa tulee käyttää suomenkielisiä nimiä, eikä vanhan miehittäjän maahantuoman kalastajamurteen nimiä. Terveisin Jaakko Sivonen. --88.114.249.135 08:05, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Voi olla näin. Okei, mutta nimet ovat kyllä mainittu siellä alhaalla, ja siellä ne pitäisi olla, koske ne eivät ole virallisia nimejä. --MoRsE 08:11, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Konstantinopoli tai Byzantium eivät ole enää Istanbulin virallisia nimiä, mutta ne mainitaan kuitenkin heti artikkelin alussa. T. Jaakko Sivonen. --88.114.249.135 08:18, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Ne ovat kuitenkin historiallisia virallisia nimiä, Ristitaipale ei. Ja et ole vissiin enää blokattu, voit käyttää tunnuksesi Jaakko. --MoRsE 08:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Olen pysyvästi (indefinite) estetty. T. Jaakko Sivonen --88.114.249.135 08:43, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Jos vandalisti MorSe viitsisi edes katsoa esim. Korsnäs keskustelu sivulle niin siellä on lukuisia lähteitä nimien Ristitaipale ja Korsnääsi perusteeksi. Itse olet myös lisännyt ruotsinkielisiä epäsvirallisia nimiä lähteettömästi suomalaisia paikkakuntia koskeviin artikkeleihin, joten aloitan piakkoin pakkotoimet ruotsinkielisiä nimiä vastaan, jos suomenkielisten nimien ei anneta olla rauhassa. Tämä on viimeinen varoitus! --83.102.5.106 08:51, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help
Our Italian friend requires some help in editing, he is now contributing to the Ki-61 Hien and Ki-100. I can sort out some of the grammar and spelling, but I have corrected this countless times. He continues to make the same mistakes, not capitalizing months, using measures such as "ltrs." and other basic errors. I have written to him by email, posted on his home page and asked for other help from the aviation group forum. There is also another major issue that I haven't fully addressed but that is that most of the submissions are POV and sound like they are copied from magazines as well as being wholly Italian-centred- go figure, but still, much of the stuff is useless but I don't want to just hack and slash. What do you think? FWIW Bzuk.
Thanks for the kindly words (the firsts that i had in this encyclopedia), but i have continuos problem with Bzuk and some other, that let me consider what hell i do here. Almost all my posts are deleted or mauled. The rest is accused to be NNPOV, as they know better than me the arguments debated. So i am not sure how much time i will stay here. If they will not ban me, i, without any support, will leave on myself. What's the point if almost everything i write is deleted? How many hours i lost because Great Brother thinks that i am acting as wikicriminal? Frustrating. Really.--Stefanomencarelli 19:58, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 8 Inch Howitzer photo caption
Hello, the Vickers 8 inch howitzer in you photo outside the war museum, Helsinki, appears to be the short barrel Mk 6 version, and the info I've seen indicates that it was the Mk 6 that Finland bought from the US. Why do you call it Mk 7 in the photo ? Rcbutcher 13:00, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Former equipment of the Finnish army
Is there a reason you have listed all the current field artillery pieces that the FDF wield as former equipment? Given the accuracy of your other edits and contributions to the article, there must be some grave misunderstanding taking place here. 88.114.76.25 23:51, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
- No, it is not a misunderstanding, it is just a work in progress. I am quite aware of which ones are in use and which ones aren't. They'll be sorted later. --MoRsE 08:07, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
I took the liberty of removing those still in use of which I knew. Also, are you certain that the BMB-1TJ has been withdrawn from service. I highly doubt it, given that that would leave all of the mech and armoured units without any tracked FO vehicle. Mil.fi lists it as still being used. I'll try to confirm this with someone who has served in the armoured brigade 88.114.76.25 08:52, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- Ok thanks. As far as I know they are still in service. It is only the regular versions that have been withdrawn. --MoRsE 10:42, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- There is however a formal decision to scrap all the 130 K 54s, 152 H 88s and 152 H 55s. --MoRsE 10:53, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] S.78 or SM.78?
Hi MoRsE, can you please move the Savoia-Marchetti S.78 to Savoia-Marchetti SM.78 which I believe is the correct designation. BTW, check out the Saab 37 Viggen page, some major rewriting has taken place which needs a whole lot of re-writing. Also check out BillCJ's talk page. FWIW Bzuk 13:56, 22 August 2007 (UTC).
- I missed the SM.78 but it is corrected now....well the target page needs some tweaking though, as for BillCJ's departure, I'm sad to see him go, but there is nothing really I can do about the harasser but blocking the IP, and it seems like some other administrators have already taken care of that (watching the IP's edits I mean). Let's just hope he'll return some day. When it comes to the Viggen, I think we could call for User:Towpilot's attention. He is the real expert here on Swedish aircraft. --MoRsE 14:33, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Request for help
MoRsE, I noticed your comments on the talk page of a mutual friend, BillCJ. I wonder if you can look into a problem with the Amelia Earhart page. A conspiracy theorist has come back after being reverted by at least two editors and one admin, but he has again reverted every change made by Gwen Gale who has been a major contributor to the article for over a year. She did a very careful analysis of his recent edits and rewrote the article, establishing a referenced and supported section on disappearance theories related to Amelia Earhart. I do not want to get into a revert war but our "Saipan theory is best" editor has been cautioned on both the article discussion page and his own talk page, that his assertions are untenable and do not have consensus support. He will not listen to me and only an admin can return the article to its original state or to the version that Gwen Gale proposed. Help... Bzuk 23:07, 23 August 2007 (UTC).
- I will put the article on my watchlist, it seems like there is a straw poll going on right now and it is also temporarily protected, so we have to wait a little and see what happens. I could hear with User:Islander(Scandinavia) if he's interested in checking up on this article too as he was the one who wrote a large part of the corresponding FA article on the Swedish language wikipedia. --MoRsE 05:52, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mannerheim Cross
Hi, do you still have Image:Mannerheim Cross gray.jpg on your pc? They erroneusly deleted both images from Commons as they were under FDF-template although the design is PD because it's desribed in degrees by Finnish officials. I still have the original image on my PC, but you had made that gray image for use in the Finnish WWII-aces template. They can be uploaded to Commons again.

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:Cho Seung-hui 3.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cho Seung-hui 3.jpg. 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 05:25, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kuvien lataamisesta
Keksitkö tavan, jolla saisi Rumpler C.I sivulla olevan linkitetyn puolalaisen Wikipedian kuvan siirrettyä myös tähän englanninkieliseen? Itse en siinä onnistunut, koska työpöydälle kopioidessa tiedosto muuttui .php-muotoon, joka taas ei kelpaa tänne ladattaessa. Samoin, kiinnostaisi tietää mistä löytyisi sopivia copyright tageja yli 60-vuotta vanhoille saksalaisille, englantilaisille yms. kuville, jos oikea sellainen on tärkeä. Kiitokset avustasi jo etukäteen ilmailuartikkelien kehittämiseksi. Läyhä 09:28, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- Voit muuntaa .php kuvat .jpg-muotoon jos sinulla on esimerkiksi Microsoft Power Point siellä. Siellä löytyy semmonen komento kuin "save as image", ja sinun täytyy sitten vaan valita sopiva formaatti. Ja luulen, että {{pd-old}} sopii tagina semmosille kuville. --MoRsE 15:18, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:152_H_88-31.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:152_H_88-31.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy.

[edit] More battleships!
Hi there! There is currently a featured article candidacy for pre-dreadnought. I'm getting a bit stuck providing sources (which some people have requested) for the careers and fates of some of the pre-dreadnoughts which lasted into WWII. From the original work we did on battleship I seem to remember you have a lot of sources - is there any chance they would have the information i'm after? Regards, The Land 12:33, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- I would love to participate, but I am not sure I can come up with the sources needed before the article is through with the process. I have moved to Norway since we last cooperated, and I left all my books and references at my fiancées flat (so that I wouldn't have that much to bring). I will unfortunately not have any opportunity to go there (and to to Finnish Military Academy's library) until the end of this month. Also, the libraries here in Haugesund are very limited in this perspective. However, I could try to find out if the Norwegian Maritime Institute (situated in this town) has a library of its own. --MoRsE 12:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MT-55 and BLG-60
Hello.
I don't think the MT-55 is the same vehicle as a BLG-60. Compare the following pictures: [4] and [5] You'll see there are many differences. Like for example "arm" in the front of the vehicle is different.
Dendirrek who is an expert on Soviet made ARVs also agrees with me.
Regards. - SuperTank17 11:19, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your advice
Thank you for your advice regarding my RFA.
What would you do if this happened? Editors and administrators in support of the Suomen Sosialidemokraattinen Puolue banned everyone who wrote neutral, but less than completely positive edits about the SDP? They ran a few checkuser request showing they are all from Finland. Therefore, they are socks! They managed to ban one person so all later editors would be "sock of a banned user". This is a problem.
This is how my husband was banned. Except, he did not write political articles. The bad people didn't care. They wanted to ban everyone on the hope that some of those people would be political opponents (even though some would be totally unrelated).
As an admin, I would AGF and then discuss with all sides the issue. If I edited the article, I would discuss only as editor, not as an admin. Heidianddick 19:52, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your answer. What I meant with the WP:Living issue were the things that were stirred up after the Seigenthaler controversy, a controversy that actually could threaten the very existance of Wikipedia if it had gone to court. Therefore are the biographies of living persons quite a sensitive subject here. --MoRsE 20:03, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] T-55 Images
Hello MoRsE, I will post a notice to SuperTank also but I wanted to let you know I have been looking at some of the image formatting options and have been playing around on this page User:Awotter/IMAM Ro. 57 and there are several different options to pick and choose from. Multiple images can be wrapped in a frame with an explanatory caption (like for comparing versions of tans etc). An image gallery can go into a section and be in a box the user can hide and show (including a box caption). If you guys want to suggest what images might go where you can use "Media:test_pic.jpg with "Media:" in place of "Image:" and it will act as a placeholder and put it on a list on that page and we can set up the article that way. Thanks, hope that makes sense.Awotter (talk) 04:49, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] User Penser
Please look into a violation of 3R by Penser who has reverted Alexander Graham Bell three times in a 24-hour period to his version. The issue of nationality was a "hot" topic on the talk page and a resolution in describing the scientist's nationality was decided upon. The lead paragraph is carefully written to indicate a main birthright as "Scottish" although an American citizenship was obtained. The amount of time spent in Canada is also discussed wherein all three nations have claimed Bell as their native son. FWIW, the user in question has also made some intemperate "attack" statements although I had earlier attempted to explain the issues on his talk page. Bzuk (talk) 13:11, 16 December 2007 (UTC).
- Reporting this to the 3RR-notice board will probably not render any penalties for the editor as there has only been 3 edits the past 24 hours. However, the rules are not cut in stone and I'll keep the page on my watch list. I consider that the user's addition doesn't add anything significant to the article compared to what is said from before. It is just the same nationalist issues again....as with many famous persons. --MoRsE (talk) 15:39, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Siege of Leningrad
Dear MoRsE,
Thank you very much for your help with the article Siege of Leningrad, and also for creating and updating the article on Naval Detachment K, which was a relatively small, but powerful force that destroyed many tons of food. The siege of Leningrad was the longest battle in WW2, in all fronts; its magnitude and human value was unique. Hitler was very angry after the failure of his plan to celebrate the New Year 1942 at the Tsar's Palaces, and his anxiety added problems and unreasonable demands, possibly adding to other failures in WW2. Articles on the siege of Leningrad vary in different languages, size and material is sometimes too different, fragmented, and inadequate to the importance of the event. Proper representation of this historic battle is a big and noble task. Our multi-lingual skills are conducive to cross-cultural studies, and may help making Wikipedia better. Happy New Year. Steveshelokhonov 05:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you. I am just a little sad that my entire reference library is packed away in boxes in Finland when I am on a work assignment abroad, so I draw a lot from memory and try to find online sources to back it up. However, I have found that Jari Aromaa's website is quite accurate when I compared it to my own research on the history of different vessels and the happenings of the war. It is also good that you can draw from Russian language sources so that we can get a more balanced writing here on wikipedia. Happy New Year to you also! --MoRsE (talk) 19:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka 3
Thank you for your support in my RfA. It was definitely a dramatic debate, that landed on WP:100! I paid close attention to everything that was said, and, where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better administrator. I'm taking things slowly for now, partially because of the holiday season and all the off-wiki distractions. :) I'm also working my way through the Wikipedia:New admin school and double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools. My main goals are to help out with various backlogs, but I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are several more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status!

[edit] Hansa-Brandenburg W.33
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Hansa-Brandenburg W.33, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: IVL A.22 Hansa. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:07, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Rauma-class.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Rauma-class.jpg. 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) 04:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
