[edit] James Daly (American Actor)

Why did you create a copy of this article James Daly with a new title? If you wanted to move the old article, this is not the way to do it, because the edit history gets lost. Is that what you're trying to do? Fan-1967 01:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

What you should do is request an admin to delete the page you just created, then use "move" to move the James Daly article to this title, the way you did with the Talk page. That way the edit history goes with the article, and the legal folks insist edit history is very important to the GFDL, though I'm not super clear on why. Fan-1967 01:27, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I've put it back the way it was, together with history. Nothing lost I hope. I was trying to create a disambiguation page, to separate the actor from other James Dalys such as an Irish politician. I'll do what you suggest - get an admin to delete James Daly (American Actor) and the "move" James Daly to James Daly (American Actor). I will then create a new disambiguation page for James Daly and change any links to the correct page. Sorry about the trouble. Rcbutcher 01:45, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I've moved the Talk page back, and tagged both the article and Talk page at James Daly (American Actor) for deletion. Once an admin deletes them, we can move the article and Talk, and then turn the old page into a DAB page. Fan-1967 02:18, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] All set

The actor's page has been moved, and I took your disambiguation version and put it at James Daly. All that's left for you to do is create James Daly (Irish Politician) so we've got two articles to disambiguate between. Fan-1967 04:36, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for sorting that out, I'll be more respectful before I mess with other people's pages in future. Rcbutcher 05:19, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] QF 4.5 inch Howitzer

A tag has been placed on QF 4.5 inch Howitzer, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Round 18 Pdr Shrapnel.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Round 18 Pdr Shrapnel.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. BetacommandBot 18:11, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:42ndDivisionBadgeWWII.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:42ndDivisionBadgeWWII.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 (talk) 06:04, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Lancashire Fusiliers boat Gallipoli May 1915.jpg

Hi, in case it's not on your watchlist, I responded to your comment from back in August here. You are most probably right that the photo is by Ernest Brooks, not Ashmead-Bartlett. 121.44.231.9 (talk) 22:30, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 6-inch

IIRC there are photos showing both types there. I suspect the 26 cwt were 17 Siege Bty.Nfe (talk) 01:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Commons

Tried, first image I uploaded was deleted - no explanation, no message, so I don't think I'll bother. Sue Wallace (talk) 05:57, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Try Twinkle

In response to your reversion problem on VP, try WP:TW. -- SEWilco (talk) 15:30, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

thanks for the suggestion. But I raised the issue regarding other people who had made reversions, not myself - some others have only reverted the most recent malicious edit and not noticed the ones before that. So my suggestion was that a warning or reminder could be built into the reversion process. Many people will click revert and assume they've done all that's necessary.Rcbutcher (talk) 01:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fuze is the usual English language spelling for ordnance igniters

Somebody keeps running a robot to change all occurrences of Fuze to Fuse in Shell (projectile). Fuze is the customary English language spelling for ammunition igniters. Fuses are something in an electrical layout.Rcbutcher (talk) 11:14, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, my apologies. I had looked this one up in a dictionary, and it didn't indicate the distinction; I guess it just wouldn't have that sort of specialised knowledge. In any case, I've removed the fuze->fuse entry from my bot. Cheers, CmdrObot (talk) 16:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A friendly reminder

Edit summary reminder
Hello. I noticed that your edit to HMS Belfast (C35) did not include an edit summary. Please remember to use one for every edit, even minor ones. You can enable the wiki software to prompt you for one before making an edit by setting your user preferences (under Editing) to "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". There is also a tool you can check to see your current usage of edit summaries. Thanks, -MBK004 04:53, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
