Hello, JonEastham, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place Fair use images on userpageshey there... I know it might sound petty, but I wanted to point out that you can't use "fair use" images on user pages (that is, any copyright tagged as being used under "fair use" grounds). In fact, they shouldn't be used anywhere outside of the article namespace, see Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy. The reason I point this out is that you use Image:PortsUni.png, which as a logo, is only on Wikipedia under fair use grounds, on your userpage. I'll leave it up to you what you replace it with. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 21:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC) PS - an article on P&OSL would be interesting...
HMS BristolThanks for clearing the Dartsmouth v. Portsmouth thing up! David 14:35, 21 May 2006 (UTC) Cities (and MK)You had a good idea for a template of cities (and not Cities). But I reckon that the entrance fee would have to be 250,000 so MK has another few weeks to go :) [I was beginning to think that it was just me looking after MK!). --Concrete Cowboy 22:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC) Thanks for correction in article Dholavira

Would you prefer to do the uploading yourself? I would also suggest tht 300px is the standard infobox width in WP ships articles, so this may be a more appropriate image width size. Anyway, I was wondering about getting a photo for Largs Bay, Cardigan Bay and Mounts Bay, which I see you have on your site. Regards, Emoscopes Talk 12:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello again, Jon, it seems there are no pictures available for the Hunt class MCMV, would you be able to oblige again? Thanks in advance, Emoscopes Talk 12:58, 6 November 2006 (UTC) Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun! SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping. If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 22:52, 12 November 2006 (UTC) The Military history WikiProject Newsletter : XLVIII (February 2010)The February 2010 issue of the Military history WikiProject newsletter has been published.

MiddlesbroughHi Jon, With regard to this, you don't need the pipe character or anything - it really just is Middlesbrough, your basic non-disambiguated, non-Kentucky flavour, in both the text and the underlying link. I've fixed it for you, as I am a sad obsessive type! Hope this helps, best wishes, DBaK (talk) 10:04, 27 April 2010 (UTC) Ariel class destroyerHi, Jon. Some time ago you queried whether this article should be removed. Please see my response on this matter. I am concerned that this complete error should be put right by deleting the article which is totally nonsense. You were correct in questioning whether this article was valid. There was never an Ariel class of destroyer among the early TBDs; in fact, looking at the list quoted under List of destroyer classes it is obvious that some one inadvertently typed "Ariel class" when they meant "Ardent class". I have corrected the List of destroyer classes article (which incidentally also omitted the Zebra class destroyer from the list of 27-knotters) but someone should remove entirely the incorrect article on the non-existant Ariel class. Incidentally, I have in my possession the complete Thornycroft summary records and will (when time permits) be producing a consolidated book on the entire Thornycroft output.

John Crown and SonsI noticed you adding a lot of wls to this shipbuilder. I take it you intend to create an article about them? You may wish to create a template for ships built by Crown - would suggest {{Lithgows ships}} would be a suitable one to base the new template on. Mjroots (talk) 10:51, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Template:IMO NumberI noticed that you created this template. How about a similar one for MMSI Numbers? Mjroots (talk) 16:42, 29 May 2010 (UTC) File copyright problem with File:MS Mont St Michel.jpg Thank you for uploading File:MS Mont St Michel.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation.

I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself. If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

For an image to be considered "free" under Wikipedia's Image use policy, the license must permit both commercial reuse and derivative works and therefore any images tagged with User:JonEastham/Copyright may have to be deleted unless this issue can be resolved.

Template P&O ShipsHi, Re {{P&O ships}}, which you created - how does SS Ranpura and her sisters fit in? Does the template need further expansion and more ships adding? Mjroots (talk) 08:42, 19 April 2011 (UTC) template discussionHi Jon, just to make you aware of a discussion here. Benea (talk) 15:46, 19 October 2011 (UTC) Corrections to HMS AphisHi Jon I am writing to you because you are listed as the editor of the page for the HMS Aphis. There are some inaccuracies on the page that I would like to bring to your attention. My name is Kathy Wendolkowski and I am a transcriber on the project Old Weather, which involves entering weather data and narrative log information from WWI era Royal Navy ships for use in models and by any interested party. I have worked on the logs for Aphis. The wiki article states that the Aphis was in Romania for WWI, but her logs - at least for Feb, 1916 thru April 1916 - she was in Port Said, as well as other North African ports. I know this is not an earth shattering revelation, but we have instances of people researching their family's involvement in the War, and so, to me, it is important for the information on these ships be as accurate as possible. Please see the discussion page for Cadmus Class Sloops, which resolves the no original research and verifiability issues involved in Wiki articles. Thank you - Kathy W. 216.15.44.249 (talk) 14:28, 11 December 2011 (UTC) a heads-upI missed the {{mergeto}} tag. I guess all of us who worked on the article did. I offered some reasons why I thought the the merger of Canadian Coast Guard Arun-class lifeboats to Arun class lifeboat was a bad idea.
