[edit] Paratyphoid fever

Hi. The redirect you just created was a double redirect e.g. Paratyphoid fever > Paratyphoid > Salmonella. These don't work properly and the user ends up at Paratyphoid. I changed the Paratyphoid fever so it goes direct to Salmonella. This happens all the time and usually gets fixed. It's not a problem but I just thought I would let you know for next time. Cheers.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Philip Quast 2005.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Philip Quast 2005.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:08, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Philip Quast 2005.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Philip Quast 2005.jpg. I notice 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:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Chowbok ☠ 21:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] G18

Not sure what you ment but I found these. I put the G18 back too. If it was something else let me know. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 15:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wife swapping in India

I will take a look at it. :) --Moonriddengirl 18:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Yep. It's gone. There are a couple of speedy criteria I could have pursued--it wasn't a notable club, for instance, so it qualified for WP:CSD#A7, but I went with advertising, WP:CSD#11. If it comes back or if you run into other articles, you can mark an article for speedy deletion for any administrator's notice. The templates used for doing that are found here: Wikipedia:Speedy_deletion#Deletion_templates. You just choose the correct one and put it at the top of the article, and it will usually be evaluated within an hour. Sometimes, within minutes, but once in a while there's a backlog. :) Thanks for bringing it to my attention. --Moonriddengirl 18:53, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill 02:21, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What links here

I think the user to whom you were responding on my talk page probably noticed the deletion log that listed "Wife swapping" as having been deleted for "advertisement" and was amused by that. :)

You can find what links to a page by looking at the "toolbox" under the search window. The first tool is "what links here". Hope that helps. :) --Moonriddengirl 15:38, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bombardment of Yarmouth and Lowestoft

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Bombardment of Yarmouth and Lowestoft, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.bobhenneman.info/yar1916.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

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 18:25, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request: Rank graphics, etc. in military biographies

Please discuss the inclusion of rank graphics in military biographies. I believe there was a recent discussion in the Military history WikiProject on the addition of graphics to the infoboxes. I believe that general rank graphics don't add; specific graphics that uniquely define a person, such as Medal of Honor or SMMC are exceptions. A general discussion on the WikiProject is a good idea. — ERcheck (talk) 01:34, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 27th Guards Rifle Division (Soviet Union)

Hi Pen, thanks for your edit at Divisions of the Soviet Union. It's great when people take time to help out on such an esoteric (for English-speakers) topic. However one really has to be careful. There were two completely separate divisions, 27th Rifle Division, and, in the Guards Rifle Division series, which went up to 90 or 100, a separate formation, 27th Guards Rifle Division. Divisions were promoted to Guards status for exceptional valuable combat service. What you did was to link the 27th Rifle Division to the Guards formation, inaccurately, as well as fixing the link for the 27th Guards Rifle Division proper. Buckshot06 13:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

No worries, thanks for the quick reply. Buckshot06 13:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Awards of the United States Marine Corps

Your redirect was to a non-existent page. I changed it to go to what I think is the correct page, which is a wikilink from Awards and decorations of the United States military#Active United States medals and ribbons. If I was mistaken, please feel free to correct it. Truthanado 14:24, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects that aren't broken

Hello! I've noticed that you're changing links to redirects that aren't broken. That is against Wikipedia editing guidelines, because it's much harder on Wikipedia's servers to make an edit like this than it is for people to just occasionally follow the redirects. Please do not change links to redirects that aren't broken unless you're making other, useful changes to the article at the same time. TomTheHand 15:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Image:L-13 Grasshopper.jpg

Your file is about to be deleted because it's only licensed for use on Wikipedia. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, since explicit permission to use it was given, this is in fact not the case - Wikipedia content must be completely free for other people (newspapers, companies, advertising groups) to re-use, too! I've held off deleting it for now, so you can get permission if you want to. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 19:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: 19th Infantry Division Gavninana (Italy)

Hi, I noticed you changed the name of this article. It had conformed to the practice observed at List of Italian divisions in WWII, which I had assumed was using the established naming style for military units. I have no strong opinion about what form should be used in Wikipedia, but if you are standardizing these names you probably should look there & at the articles linked to the red links there -- & make sure your understanding matches what other Wikipedians (for example Asiaticus) believe it to be. -- llywrch (talk) 20:05, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

When you tag an article such as You can talk on this page for speedy deletion, please make sure to leave a warning on the article creator's talk page. It's important that the article creator be notified that you can't talk on that page. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:43, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Military unit naming conventions

Please be aware, that, per WP:MILMOS#UNITNAME, "The disambiguator is not necessary in cases where the name of the country is already present in the name of the unit... or where the name is clearly unique". In particular, the consensus is that the inclusion of "SS" in the unit name sufficiently identifies the unit as being German. Thanks! Kirill 13:59, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

You may be interested in commenting at WT:MILHIST#Unit naming convention and unambiguous names as well. Thanks! Kirill 14:23, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
The same is also true of UK divisions that include unique disambiguators like "(2nd West Lancashire)" in the name of the unit - an additional parenthetical is a little unnecessary - the current locations of these units also reflects consensus, I think. Carom (talk) 14:35, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SAAF Squadron naming conventions

Hi there,

I've come across a few of your edits of South African Air Force squadron articles, in which you changed the format into the Commonwealth naming format. I'm afraid while this would seem like a logical change to make, it's incorrect. Unlike nearly all the other Commonwealth air forces, the South African Air Force does not use the 'No. x Squadron' format. The reason for the change appears to be related to the decision by the newly-elected Nationalist Party, in the early 1950s, to wean the South African military off its strong war-era ties to the British military. As part of this, the entire rank structure was overhauled, with the Commonwealth-style ranks (such as Wing Commander) being replaced with their American equivalents or with Army-style ranks, the uniform was changed and the squadron naming format was gradually altered. The end result was a curious amalgam of the Commonwealth and American naming formats, with the former services' preceding 'No.' being dropped in favour of the latter service's leading number style, but without the attending addition of the usual suffix (as in '42nd').

Proof of the SAAF's unique approach to squadron naming can be seen at the official SAAF website, in all SAAF-produced documentation and in coverage of the SAAF by local aviation publications. It is not contested in any serious form, so the use of the 'No. x Squadron' format is most certainly incorrect. Please don't change any more SAAF squadron articles back to the incorrect format. Thank you, — Impi (talk) 19:03, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Royal Navy ship formatting

Hello Bushido, I received your message and let me tell you it is always nice to hear from a dedicated editor. I have seen your work around here and I am very impressed. I wish that there were more like you. You are right in regard to the format of the US ships in Wikipedia. To tell you the truth, I have no idea on how to develope a template which would recognize the italicizing of the ship names of the United Kingdom Royal Navy (alpha-numeric digits). This may be an interesting subject to take up with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history. Have you done so already? Let me know if you find out anything new.
