[edit] Glorious First of June

Hi there, I noticed you made some edits to the above article, which I am currently slowly grooming in order to hopefully turn it into an FA. I was impressed with the changes you made and was wondering if you would consider copyediting the article? I realise it is a big task, but I have in the past been criticised for my prose style and I am looking for people to run over the article and smooth it out. If you would be willing to do this it would be much appreciated, but I fully understand if it is not possible. Either way, thankyou for your attention to the article and I hope to see you around.--Jackyd101 (talk) 10:35, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll have a look if I can get the chance. Rebel Redcoat (talk) 12:04, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] War of the Grand Alliance - Nine Years' War

Hello Rebel Redcoat! I see that you redirected War of the Grand Alliance to Nine Years' War. Such a big change should be discussed previously in the talk pages! I personally have no opinion - I reverted you for thecnical reason: with your redirect one looses the edit history of the article, thus this must be done with a proper move page. Since this can not be done with a simple page move because the new name already exist and is itself a redirect to the original page, you may have to ask for the help of an administrator, since they have "special move powers" that can bypass the problem. Thank you! The Ogre (talk) 21:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Furthermore, with you redirect your do not redirect the talk pages! The Ogre (talk) 21:02, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Well...that's quite and old discussion! Still, I have no opinion and if I had I would probably choose Nine Years' War. And yes, these kind of moves require administrative privileges. By the way, please sign your name with exactly four tildes, otherwise your name wont show (five just palces the date). The Ogre (talk) 21:14, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

The history question is a matter of policy and is intended to keep track of contributors as well as knowing how the article come to be in the present form and what may have been the previous points of contention or debate. Cheers! The Ogre (talk) 21:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] British Milhist

[edit] Image source problem with Image:King James II.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:King James II.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] William III

Looks like King Billy has avoided defeaturing, at least for now. Thanks for your edits yesterday (and for unAmericanizing my additions today). I still think there's more to be done, but hopefully I'll clean it up more over the next month. Coemgenus 19:25, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
