Orphaned non-free media (Image:MurrayConvoy.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:MurrayConvoy.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) 05:15, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline

Hello
Thanks for your note about this: I wouldn’t say it was my article, though; I’ve hardly done anything there.
And I’m not sure what’s the best way to develop it; there were hundreds of engagements during the Atlantic campaign, so a chronology of the whole event could be massive.
But I’m all in favour of the RCN getting the recognition it deserves for the Battle of the Atlantic; I get the feeling from some books they were undervalued.
I’ve also added a couple of external links to chronologies elsewhere; no sense in re-inventing the wheel! Xyl 54 (talk) 22:50, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for not replying earlier; I’ve not been around much recently.

I don’t know how much effort to put into the timeline either: and adding a lot about the RCN without there being a lot of stuff about other nations involvement could spark a charge of undue weight.

OTOH what about a timeline of the RCN in the Battle of the Atlantic? Or in the Second World War as a whole? They would be valid article subjects in themselves. It would also be worth having an article (a stub if nothing else) on every ship (at least half the corvettes don’t have an article). I don't know there's much can be done with the main BotA article; there's too many people involved. But there's room for sections to be spun off into their own articles, or existing articles improved.

Keep plugging away at it; we'll get there in the end!Xyl 54 (talk) 23:51, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely :) Xyl 54 (talk) 22:39, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Leonard Murray and James Prentice

Thanks for the message and the kind words, no I am not related but I do hold a bit of a torch for our navy's history and think that if anyone is going to tell our stories, it has to be us. I've noticed your contributions to the Leonard Murray article has led to it's status as a good article. It's the first one I've started to reach that status and I'm pretty happy about that, but it wouldn't have gotten there at all without your efforts. Cheers!
