Almirante Oquendo (Spanish armored cruiser)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Almirante Oquendo (Spanish armored cruiser), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Vizcaya (Spanish cruiser). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

Did You Know

Hi Mdnavman. I read your new article on the Spanish destroyer Furor, and I was thinking of nominating it for Did You Know?, the list of interesting facts from new articles which appears on the main page. I thought the story about fleeing Fort-de-France under the pretense of testing her engines would make a good fact for the main page. However, the DYK selection criteria require that the fact be followed immediately by an inline citation. So, I wondered if you'd like to provide a citation in that paragraph to which of your references it appears in, and then I (or you) could nominate it to appear on DYK. Let me know what you think!

Linking years

Hi Mdnavman, thank you for adding many useful articles about Navy ships. I wanted to point out that per Wikipedia's Manual of Style, years should not be linked in most cases. Please see MOS:UNLINKYEARS for more information. Years should be linked when they are part of a complete date so that Wikipedia's date preferences feature will work. I have taken the liberty of fixing a few of the articles you created. Hopefully you will find this helpful. Regards, Accurizer (talk) 23:29, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Hi Mdnavman. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. Just a reminder that you don't need to add "~~~~mdnavman" at the end of your edit summaries, as you did here - people can see that it was you who made the change just by examining the page history. (You should, of course, continue to sign your contributions on article talk pages with "~~~~" though). Regards, DH85868993 (talk) 07:42, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia Commons

Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! There is, however, another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view images you have previously uploaded by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!--O sama K 07:00, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

new stubs

Hi Mdnavman - good to see a couple of new stubs for places in Nunavut. A couple of small things for future reference though, i case you're making any more of them - firstly all of Canada's provinces and territories have their own geo-stub templates now, so you can use {{nunavut-geo-stub}} instead of {{canada-geo-stub}}; secondly, you only need to use {{DEFAULTSORT}} if you want to have the article sort under something different to the first word of its title (you don't need to put it on articles like Grinnell Land). Not a real biggie in either case, just FYI. Keep up the good work! Grutness...wha? 23:32, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your additions to the "See also" sections of river articles

Sorry, but I have removed the links to ships which you have recently added to river articles. Other than sharing a name, there is no reason to have the links; they are better suited for disambiguation pages. Cheers --Ckatz^chat _spy 20:41, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Cape Maisí

A tag has been placed on Cape Maisí requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Thanks for the ship work

Thanks for doing so many of the less prominent ships. I would ask you, though, to not put every ship into the Category:Ships of the United States Navy. They should go into their appropriate sub-category only - most likely their class category and that's it. Thanks again. Jinian (talk) 21:38, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unimak

I understand you're splitting this into two articles, one each for her USCG and USN careers. I notice that you moved the existing article to 'USCGC Unimak (AVP-31)', which is a misnomer as AVP-31 was her USN designation, not USCG. Can you clear that up? Thanks for the work you've been doing on ship articles—much appreciated. Maralia (talk) 02:26, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for cleaning that up. For the sake of edit history continuity, can you leave a null edit at the new article for the USS incarnation, with an edit summary linking to the article that contains the prior edit history (the new USCGC one)? Sorry to be so nitpicky, but GFDL is a hairy beast, and without a record in the history, the new USS article appears to have been written by you in one fell swoop. Thanks again! Maralia (talk) 04:51, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maralia, I'd be happy to use a null edit ensure edit history continuity, etc., but \i don't know what a null edit is or how to leave one, nor do I know how to provide an edit summary that contains the prior edit history. Could you walk me through all of this so I know how? I hope it's not something too cumbersome, as I hope not to be deterred from unravelling overly merged ship histories (like the U.S. World War II seaplane tenders redirected to 1980s Philippine ship articles and so on). Mdnavman (talk) 22:57, 20 December 2008 (UTC)mdnavman[reply]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be obtuse. A 'null edit' is one that effectively changes no content and is made simply to add a note to the edit history. The edit is performed by merely adding a space in the article text (or a blank line at the end of it), and putting the note in the edit summary field. I have done so in this edit: [1]. In the future, if you split articles, when you paste content into a 'new' article, you could just mention where that content came from in your edit summary. Hope that explains everything. Thanks again. Maralia (talk) 22:25, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

USS Absecon (ID-3131) article

If an article should be retitled with a name that better matches the naming conventions, as was the case with USS Absecon (1918) → USS Absecon (ID-3131), may I suggest using the "Move" tab next time? You don't need to have any special privileges to move an article if the other name is not already taken, and don't worry about mistakes, since they can easily be fixed.

What you did in this case is called a "cut and paste" move, meaning that you cut the text from one article and pasted it into another. A "cut and paste" move doesn't preserve the edit history for the article, which is important for the GFDL license for the text. Using the "Move" tab also has the advantage of moving the article's talk page along with the article to preserve WikiProject notices and any discussion about aspects of the article that may have occurred in the past.

I've moved the talk page and have asked for assistance to correct the article's edit history, so you don't need to do anything else, but I wanted to let you know so that you can avoid this in the future. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions. — Bellhalla (talk) 01:07, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vietnamese Navy

Well done on the excellent work. I was wondering, are there many Vietnamese naval vessels that have not been included on Wikipedia? Also I have moved some of the titles because it is quite obvious that they are typos, like Ngo Quyen, Ly Thuong Kiet and Pham Ngu Lao, all famous warriors. What do you think of changing the footnote to point out that the source was erroneous rather than an alternative spelling, as it isn't a case of Muhammad and Mohammad, for instance.

Proposed deletion of USRC Active

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article USRC Active, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

This disambiguation page lists many ships with the same name, but only one is actually an article.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Thanks for uploading File:USS Mystery (ID-2744).jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

Hi, disambiguation pages are usually sorted to optimize for the most likely pages. SOMETIMES alphabetical is appropriate. Do you mind if I redo some of the page? If you haven't seen it, WP:MOSDAB might be instructive. (John User:Jwy talk) 21:03, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

USS Remlick - Remlik

USS Remlick and USS Remlik are apparently the same ship. DANFS agrees with the Remlick spelling. I would have redirect your new article but maybe there are elements that can be added to Remlick before redirecting. --Brad (talk) 00:27, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[Year] ships categories

I saw you had created a substantial number of Categories of the name "[Year] ships", like Category:1784 ships. When the new ship years/decades/centuries system was setup, the consensus at WikiProject Ships was to not have categories for individual year categories prior to 1850 but to only categorize ships by decade before that (or by century only for 16th-century vessels or earlier). The rationale was that for ships prior to 1850 (based on the articles already in existence on WP), no individual year category would have more than a few ships in it, reducing the utility of such a category. The rule of thumb agreed on for determining whether or not to create a new categories was if there was more than one screenful (i.e. 200 articles) in a decade category, then create the additional year categories. I would also like to ask that you not recatgorize ships prior to 1850 into the year categories that were created. If you would like for the current consensus to be revisited, please raise your concerns on the WikiProject Ships talk page. Thanks. — Bellhalla (talk) 17:32, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cornwallis image

Hi. I've recently been clearing up some WWI photographs, and stumbled across File:HMS Cornwallis (1901) firing at Dardanelles 18-19 February 1915.jpg.

As far as I can tell, the metadata on this has got garbled at some point before you scanned it - it's a version of commons:File:HMS Cornwallis broadside Suvla December 1915.jpg, which is recorded by the Imperial War Museum as Q.13682; "December 1915. HMS CORNWALLIS firing at Turkish positions after the evacuation of Anzac and Suvla. The CORNWALLIS was the last ship to leave Suvla Bay."

Any thoughts on what we should do with this? Delete it as a duplicate, or copy to Commons and rename? Shimgray | talk | 11:43, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Date linking

Wouyld you mind reading out Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Linking and autoformatting of dates. IMO an article such as USS Beverly W.

File source problem with File:HMS King Edward VII (1903) in early 1907.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:HMS King Edward VII (1903) in early 1907.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.

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. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:39, 23 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Description says this was "scanned", but scanned from where? Wknight94 ^talk 11:39, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't combing through your old images - someone else found them at Commons and tagged them for deletion.

Ship article guidlines

May I give you some tips about articles that will save both of us some time? I don't want this to come out the wrong way but some constructive criticism is in order here. Since I seem to be the only ship project member that assesses most of the new articles there are some things you could do to help me out.

Please place the {{WPSHIPS|class=|B1=|B2=|B3=|B4=|B5=}} project tag on the talk page of every new article (including categories, templates and disambiguation) you start. If you don't feel like assessing the article that's ok; I will get to it eventually. There is a bot that tracks new articles but it sometimes malfunctions or doesn't run for several days at a time and that's when I miss articles. Today I found about 50 articles you started that weren't tagged.
See wp:overlink. A lot of the wiki links you place in an article aren't really needed so this may save your fingers from having to type them all in.

Thanks. --Brad (talk) 22:45, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Era or conflict categories on ship class categories

Hey, I just saw some of your edits to U.S. submarine class categories where you had added era/conflict categories. The WP:SHIPS consensus is not to add era or conflict categories to ship class categories, but it's okay to add them to ship class articles, though. You might take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/Categorization to see what the project's consensus on categories; the section "Ship class category categorization" specifically addresses ship class categories. The whole thing can be a bit confusing, but, please don't let this stop you from continuing your great work on ship articles on Wikipedia. — Bellhalla (talk) 22:08, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Submarine and other U.S. Navy photos

Great work on uploading all of the submarine photos you have been working on! They really help out the articles quite a bit. One thing you might consider doing: since all of the photos seem to be official U.S. Navy photos, you might consider uploading them to Wikimedia Commons instead of Wikipedia. (Your same Wikipedia login information should work there.) Any photo with a free-use license—U.S. Navy or government photos are public domain, and thus free-use—are welcome there. If they are uploaded at Commons, you can still use them in Wikipedia in the same manner (just use the [[File:Imagename]] format just like you do now), but users on non-English Wikipedias can use them as well; when they are on the English Wikipedia only, they can't be used on other language projects. Also, free-use images on Wikipedia are eventually moved to Commons anyway, so by uploading them there yourself, you save the time of other editors. (There are over 18,000 files in Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons waiting to be moved.)

It looks like from what you've uploaded that you're aware of this, but one other thing to keep in mind about photos from NavSource is that not all them are public domain photos. If you stick to those that are identified as U.S. Navy photos (or photos from other U.S. government agencies) everything is good. Other photos there are under the copyright of whomever took the photos and not free-use. — Bellhalla (talk) 13:57, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, I was pretty sure you were aware of it. :) Commons is not that hard. A lot of the image template there have the same name, so things like Template:Information and Template:PD-USGov-Military-Navy work seamlessly between WP and Commons. — Bellhalla (talk) 21:19, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 03:04, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aviastar

Just noticed that you have uploaded a few images from Aviastar for use in aircraft articles. You have said that all of them are not attributed but as Aviastar is know to infringe copyright they are unlikely to tell us where they were acquired from. I appreciate some of them are in the public domain because they were published before 1923 but I think a little more care on attribution is needed. You may consider finding better sources before uploading images from this site as this might save others having to research every image. Thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 15:38, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Citations for year in Aviation entries

I know many of the entries in the Year in Aviation articles are lacking citations (I've been meeaning to catch up with adding them for some time), but it would help if you could add them for the entries you recently added and any others you're going to add later. Cheers, DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 05:50, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try and have a look at the template over the weekend. Cheers, DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 18:33, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As the Year in Aviation articles are international articles the international date format "Day Month" should be used rather than "Month Day". Cheers, DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 00:09, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All the Year in Topic articles were formatted Day Month when the dates were wikilinked.This is beacuase they are international articles. When the bot went through and unlinked them it resulted in the dates being given, incorrectly, as Mopnth Day. Any such article I come across I have changed to the correct format, but I am not interested in tracking down every Year in Topic article just to make a fix caused by a, not necessarily appropriately used, bot; my to-do list is far too extensive as it is. If that means some articles get left with the incorrect format until I or someone else decides to fix them that really isn't that much of a problem, I suspect the majority of those articles have other unresolved issues as well (particularly as too whether all the events included are of sufficient international notability).

File copyright problem with File:Steam_launch_Mist.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Steam_launch_Mist.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. Chris G Bot (talk) 02:14, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

USS Dixie III (SP-701)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of USS Dixie III (SP-701), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.navsource.org/archives/12/170701.htm.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

USS Tommy Traddles

Mdnavman - I saw your edit to Ralph Munroe and the link to USS Tommy Traddles. In the USS Tommy Traddles article you cite the Ralph Munroe wikipedia article as a source. You can't use Wikipedia articles as sources. See: WP:CIRCULAR The information contained in the Ralph Munroe article about USS Tommy Traddles evidently came from Lloyd's Register of American Yachts. I'd suggest you look in that book and then use it as a source. GroveGuy (talk) 20:27, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of USS SC-42 for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article USS SC-42 is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/USS SC-42 until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. HominidMachinae (talk) 02:47, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if it makes a difference, as you obviously support the keeping, but should you not put

Keep just in case? :¬) Chaosdruid (talk) 08:33, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know that it is pretty disillusionary, I feel it too often myself. The real issue there was the MilHist though. I had to change mine to merge as, being a member of the MilHist project, I can only go by what the guidelines and MilHist MoS say. They can, of course, be changed by consensus but it is unlikely that such a change would occur.

I also tried to find any notability of the ship in question and could only find about 20 lists, seemingly the wikipages copied onto various websites. I could not find any other references to the ship either. It may be that the list idea is correct, but it is unlikely to work out as each line of entry would be very long to fit in all the information. It is true that the infobox is better, but no system exists for having an info box for each ship as that still would mean a separate page for each one.

I have tried to come up with an alternative, but the only one I can think of is to keep the box at the bottom and cut them down to a minimum of pages. For example if there are twenty ships of one type with exactly the same dimension, powerplant, wheel housings etc., then each of the SC XXX would all link to the same page. Notable examples would of course get their own page, as would "one-offs" those that had practically nothing in common with others of the same class.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Breda Ba.82 rear view.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Breda Ba.82 rear view.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

DYK for John W. Wilcox, Jr.

On 9 May 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article John W. Wilcox, Jr., which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that U.S. Navy rear admiral John W. Wilcox, Jr. (pictured) was lost overboard from the deck of his flagship during World War II? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/John W. Wilcox, Jr..You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Articles on admirals you have created.

Regards to James R. Stark and Joseph C. Strasser. I've cleaned up both articles to be more complaint to standards. Most importantly, the duplicate refs, the overly large photo in the infobox and the misplacement of the naval portal. I did the same to the talk pages. Bgwhite (talk) 07:44, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Macchi M.70 line drawings.JPG and ...

Hi. I moved almost all your files to Commons so the whole world can use them.

But this file could not be located on the source mentioned. Could you perhaps check? There is also a question about the copyright as mentioned here. Can you help?

And someone raised a few questions on Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Fiat CR.32.jpg. Perhaps you can help there too? --MGA73 (talk) 08:49, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the reply on my talk page. I can't explain why but now I can also see the drawing on "Flight". :-) Now we just need to know if Flight was also for sale in the US.

I checked some of the files you uploaded and they all looked good. So I moved them all to Commons. As for the problem that files may not be eligible for Commons I can undelete any files that gets deleted on Commons. --MGA73 (talk) 18:06, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:RADM Yates Stirling.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:RADM Yates Stirling.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:05, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ANA Skymaster Amana crash

Hi Md! Apart from you and me, no-one has done much on ANA Skymaster Amana crash for quite a while. I am presently using my Sandbox2 to comprehensively expand the article. I have posted a message at Talk:ANA Skymaster Amana crash to alert people to the text on my Sandbox and invite comments. If you are interested, could you have a look at Talk:ANA Skymaster Amana crash and let me know your thoughts? Thanks.
I am also proposing a change to the name of the article to more closely match the current guidelines provided by the WikiProject/Aviation community. Dolphin (t) 00:51, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Way back in 2008 you changed the article Yakutat from a redirect to the city article to a disambiguation.

DYK for HMS Versatile (D32)

On 27 May 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article HMS Versatile (D32), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the destroyer HMS Versatile once rammed and almost sliced a submarine in half during a military exercise off the coast of Gibraltar? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/HMS Versatile (D32). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Henry J. Kaiser-class oiler

Hi, with this edit, you expanded the article for this class of ship, and in the infobox, under "Ship armament", you noted;

Peacetime: none, Wartime: probably 2 x 20-mm Phalanx CIWS

I wanted to ask if you had a source for that info. I see that apparently all 15 articles for every ship in the class, now have this noted in their infoboxes as well. I have tried hunting around myself for a source to support this, but can't seem to find any. For the most part, they appear to be unarmed, however there seems to have been some instances where they were equipped with a .50 cal MG. Of course, that could easily be brought aboard by an assigned security team, on an as-needed basis, but installing a CIWS, or 2 even, is a different matter. Please advise if you have a source to support that. Thanks - thewolfchild 16:22, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I made edit five years ago and remember little about it. Looking at the edit you sent, it seems to show that I did not enter that information into the article; I added other information (as highlighted), but not that. I don't know where it came from, and it probably was added by someone else in an even earlier edit. If not, and I just don't remember where it came from now, then I apologize and am glad someone is looking into it further.Mdnavman (talk) 17:02, 14 October 2013 (UTC)mdnavman[reply]

Georgetown seasons

All NCAA Division I (or historically equivalent) season categories already exist. Please see Category:College men's basketball seasons in the United States. If you must create new Independents season categories, they need to reflect the historical usage. For example, you created Category:1955–56 NCAA University Division men's basketball independents season (which I've speedied after emptying), but see the chart on the NCAA seasons category: it wasn't "University Division" until 1956–57.

Also, please tag articles/categories etc. with {{WikiProject College basketball}} since it directly pertains to the collegiate aspect. "WikiProject Basketball" is for non-NBA, non-college basketball coverage. Thanks! Jrcla2 (talk) 00:12, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the Georgetown articles!

		The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
		I've watched lately in daily rapture as you pushed the articles on Georgetown's basketball team back though 107 seasons. I smiled every time I came to Wikipedia these last few weeks to read a new article about the team. I'm truly impressed, and not to overwhelm you, but this was such a big undertaking that seeing it done restores my faith that huge Wikipedia projects just need a good editor. Thank you for not just taking this on, but for blowing it out the water with so many well written and sourced articles. Hoya Saxa!-- Patrick, _oѺ^∞ 06:14, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Shipwrecks

I've noticed you adding to the various lists of shipwrecks. Where a ship has a article and there is a navbox for that year's wrecks (currently 1989 - 2016, plus a few others at earlier dates) would you please add the ship to the navbox and the navbox to the ship article? Mjroots (talk) 05:44, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you get round to creating shipwreck navboxes for 1914-18 and 1939-45, they will need to be per month, with the individual year navboxes left solely for those vessels for which no date is known. Mjroots (talk) 19:40, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've had a think re the WWI and WWII navboxes. I envisage the year navboxes looking like this, taking 1945 as an example -

The navboxes for individual months would be similar to normal year navboxes and link to the previous and next month. Jan 1939 would link to 1938 and Feb 1939, Dec 1945 would link to Nov 1945 and 1946. Mjroots (talk) 07:58, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, we have a discussion going at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 June 18, regarding a category you created, Category:Alaska Airlines.

DISPLAYTITLEs

Hi Mdnavman, thanks for your contributions to ship articles. I wanted to alert you to Special:Diff/741291500, Special:Diff/740123782, Special:Diff/736753986, etc. The template {{Infobox ship begin}} automatically inserts a DISPLAYTITLE by default. Your adding a DISPLAYTITLE after the one that the template does fix the DISPLAYTITLE output, but does so by overriding the existing previous one. It causes a DISPLAYTITLE conflict which is undesirable. I have been fixing your DISPLAYTITLE additions, and thought I'd simply let you know. If possible, try to override the display title in the first Infobox ship begin template.

If this is unclear, I don't mind continuing to do the category cleanup though. Cheers — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 15:50, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970 into 1970 in aviation. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you.

Fabius shipwreck

Hi. According to Starbuck (The history of the american whale fishery, 1878, pp. 586-7), the ship Fabius (not Fabrius), of New Bedford, was wrecked on "Solidad reef, coast of California, January 27, 1865." For whalers "coast of California" generally meant Baja California, not the state of California. ST1849 (talk) 14:53, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

McTiernan

Hi, Mdnavman, I've seen the work you've been doing on the Cretan intervention and related articles, and I'm concerned about the reliability of the McTiernan sources you're using for the bulk of the material. As best as I can tell, McTiernan's thesis is a MA thesis, not a PhD thesis, since he's listed at King's College as "PG.. MRes". I can't find any publications from him either. Parsecboy (talk) 16:24, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that his MA thesis (likely) and his personal website (most certainly) does not meet the requirements of WP:RS and WP:V (see WP:SCHOLARSHIP and WP:SELFPUBLISH, respectively). Many of the articles you've added material to are WP:GA - if the sources don't meet Wikipedia's guidelines, then we can't use them without jeopardizing the articles' quality rating.

I don't see anything wrong with his thesis, but that's besides the point. If we were to take the question to WP:RSN, I can guarantee you what they'll say. Parsecboy (talk) 18:30, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not going to down-grade the articles' quality rating - you might not care, but I've worked quite a long time getting these articles to where they are. I see no point in taking articles that have been put together from reliable, high-quality sources and water them down with material that isn't of sufficient quality (as Wikipedia defines the term), and in the process removing their GA status. What I will likely do is remove McTiernan from the articles I've written and the material he's being used to support, unless better sources can be found to replace him. But the burden of that effort is not mine. Again, it doesn't matter that his thesis is probably fine, it's that it doesn't meet Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources. You can do what you like with the International Squadron article, as I don't have a stake in it. Parsecboy (talk) 18:47, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I also question McTiernan's RS status and may end up deleting everything that I can't confirm from better sources, but the thing that's pissing me off right now is that you're adding sources in a format that doesn't conform to the one used in the article. Kindly fix this self-created problem of yours.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:07, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

IP block exempt

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in. This will expire in one year, and if you are still affected by IP blocks at that time, you can reapply for it then.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked (through the use of CheckUser) periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:11, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of MV Murre

The article MV Murre has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Well-researched article which sadly lacks independent sources showing notability for this small vessel. I couldn't find good other sources about this online, so without such sources it looks like it fails WP:N.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

List of shipwrecks in 1825

Pigsonthewing added {{very long}} to the list of shipwrecks in 1825. It's not worth splitting as the 1820s lists as a decade are generally no so long that splitting them is worth the effort. I've added calendars for each month, thus largely solving the navigation issue. Only problem is that the "unknown date" links all link to the January entry. Are you able to adjust the Feb - Dec links to point at the correct entry? Mjroots (talk) 06:27, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Mdnavman (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was granted an IP block exemption on 4 April 2018 because I was an editor in good faith who had been caught in a general block against my employer's IP address. As of 1112 April 2019, I have been blocked again on my employers IP address with the reason givne as "Block evasion." I have never evaded a block – I have a legitimate exemption from one – and have engaged in no activities meriting a block. Can you fix this for me?

For your information, I have copied the 4 April 2018 IP block exemption response I received on my talk page which granted my exemption. It follows. Mdnavman (talk) 10:43, 12 April 2019 (UTC)mdnavman[reply]

IP block exempt

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in. This will expire in one year, and if you are still affected by IP blocks at that time, you can reapply for it then.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked (through the use of CheckUser) periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:11, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

I have extended your IP block exemption for another year. If your employer's IP address is still blocked after that, please feel free to ask for another extension. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:57, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Countess of Loudon

Hi Mdnavman, just a heads up that I am going to revert your changes to Thetis (1813 Chittagong ship). At the time English orthography was in flux and the notion of a correct or official spelling is an anachronism. "Countess of London" is incorrect, but only because there is no Countess of London. The title does not exist. However, "Countess of Loudon", or "Countess of Loudoun" are equally correct. The researcher has to be aware of the extant variants. In researching HMS Ringdove in the London Gazette one must look under both "Ring Dove" and "Ringdove". The same with "Rein Deer" and "Reindeer". I try to retain the spelling of the names of people, places, and things such as ships that I find in the documents I am citing so that others may find them too.

List of shipwrecks in 1957

Hello! I'd like to get more info about a shipwreck you added if you are interested. The British Hydralock ran aground on ROC-controlled Ockseu in 1957 in between the first and second Taiwan Strait crises. I'm going to add this information to the Wuqiu, Kinmen page ([2]), but I would appreciate any details you can add. Most of the resources I found were behind a paywall. Can you tell me any details about the event? Why did they go to PRC-controlled Haitan Island if they ran aground in the ROC-controlled Ockseu/Wuchiu/Wuqiu? What happened to the ship? What was the cause of the event? etc etc etc Thanks for any help. Geographyinitiative (talk) 13:26, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

HMS Wildboar

Hi Madnavman, I am going to revert your changes. The problem is that the name was written as one word in the source document. At the time the English language was going through some transitions and so the same vessel would be listed in some documents as "Ring Dove", and in others as "Ringdove". Same with "Rifleman" and "Rein Deer". Following the original does introduce some untidiness, but that only mirrors the untidiness at the time. It also warns people interested in delving further in old but now online docs to look under both variants. Cheers, Acad Ronin (talk) 19:53, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:ESSA seal in black and white.PNG

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

UK flag

Thanks for your re-addition of flags to the List of shipwrecks in 1803. For information, between 1801 and 1923, the correct flag is {{flagcountry|UKGBI|civil}}, which link to the correct country article, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and not its successor, the United Kingdom. I've made the necessary amendments to the list. Again, thanks for the fix. Mjroots (talk) 05:52, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of shipwrecks in 1863

The entry for 14 September contains an unreferenced entry for Spirit. Is this one mention in Gaines? You expanded the 1863 list from that source before it was split into separate lists for each month, so I wondered whether this one came from there. No seen anything in newspaper sources so far, but that don't mean that the entry is incorrect per se. Mjroots (talk) 06:02, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. I'll see if anything else comes up as I trawl through the papers. I only ever give a captain's name to dab two ships or the same name wrecked at the same place and time. Mjroots (talk) 16:38, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Flotilla

I am interested as to where you get the definition of Flotilla that appears in the Glossary of nautical terms. For a military definition we have (in Jane's Dictionary of Naval Terms):
"Orig. small fleet or fleet of small craft; when destroyer, submarine, etc.[flotilla], administrative and usu. operational group according to type (obsolete); currently sub-division of fleet (e.g. Flag Officer, First, Second [flotilla]) consisting of number of squadrons together with (US) flagship and/or tender."
From The Language of Sailing we get
"flotilla originally, a small fleet or a fleet of small vessels, now known in the Royal Navy as a squadron; a group of chartered yachts cruising more or less together or to a plan, usually with a lead boat as guide. From the diminutive of the Spanish ‘flota’, fleet; this word entered English in the seventeenth century to denote the convoys of merchant ships bringing the treasures of America and the Indies back to Spain. First attested in 1711 in the London Gazette No. 4890/1."

Nostalgia Central as a source

I am curious about your reason for reverting my removal of Nostalgia Central citations from Father of the Bride (TV series). The accompanying edit summary says, "Restored deleted citations unnecessarily replaced by "citation needed" tags."

What do you consider unnecessary about the removal? WP:SELFPUB specifies: "Anyone can create a personal web page, self-publish a book, or claim to be an expert. That is why self-published material such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs (as distinguished from newsblogs, above), content farms, Internet forum postings, and social media postings are largely not acceptable as sources."

Meanwhile, the About Nostalgia Central page indicates that the site is self-published. It was begun by David Turner, and "has been a labour of love for me since 1998". The page also says, "I update Nostalgia Central daily, but it is still just a hobby . . ."

As far as I can see, Nostalgia Central is the kind of site that WP:SELFPUB is intended to prohibit. Eddie Blick (talk) 19:24, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are not many sources providing details about the television show in question, and there is no particular reason to doubt the veracity of the source in this case. While I understand that some editors feel an imperative to eschew absolutely any source not published by a third party, I do not see the point of ignoring sources which otherwise seem accurate just because of a perhaps over-broad interpretation of the prohibition on self-published sources. (It is worth noting that many non-self-published sources provide information that is in error or lacking in detail.} In this case, significant parts of the article wound up losing their citations and receiving a "citation required" tag even though the sources was cited. This does not really achieve much in terms of gathering available information into Wikipedia and citing it, which is a major mission of the Wikipedia project. Rather than simply delete the citations, a better option would be to tag parts of the article with "better source needed," or else just leave the article alone until better sources surface someday. Given that this is probably now a "start"-class article, I think readers will understand that more research will be merited to push the article higher on the scale. Meanwhile, better to go with what we have for now than relegate the article forever to "stub" status. The article always can be corrected as new information is found, and that is how Wikipedia is supposed to work. Mdnavman (talk) 19:39, 25 June 2023 (UTC)mdnavman[reply]

You made a number of points in your reply. Allow me to comment on some of those points.

"While I understand that some editors feel an imperative to eschew absolutely any source not published by a third party, I do not see the point of ignoring sources which otherwise seem accurate just because of a perhaps over-broad interpretation of the prohibition on self-published sources."
- I don't know what you mean by "a perhaps over-broad interpretation of the prohibition on self-published sources". WP:SELFPUB seems clear to me. The section provides an exception: "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications." If Nostalgia Central meets those qualifications, then the matter is resolved.
"there is no particular reason to doubt the veracity of the source in this case.
- Neither is there any particular reason to accept as true what the source says.
"In this case, significant parts of the article wound up losing their citations and receiving a 'citation required' tag even though the sources was cited. This does not really achieve much in terms of gathering available information into Wikipedia and citing it, which is a major mission of the Wikipedia project."
- The citations that were removed were highly questionable at best. WP:SELFPUB says they are "not acceptable". Leaving the "citation needed" tag alerts editors that more research is needed to verify the content. Leaving the Nostalgia Central citation provides a false sense of security, indicating that the content has a valid source.
"The article always can be corrected as new information is found, and that is how Wikipedia is supposed to work."
- I disagree with that premise. Content of a Wikipedia article should have valid sources when it is published. We should not publish content from a questionable source in hopes that someone will correct it or provide a better source in the future.

I will leave your restoration of the citations in place but add a "self-published" template to alert readers to the situation. Eddie Blick (talk) 23:11, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation

Hello Mdnavman!

The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Your sandbox

Hello,

Could you please try to correct DISPLAYTITLE and DEFAULTSORT issues you keep causing in your sandbox before you submit edits? It makes it very difficult for others to try and identify and fix the issues especially with the incredibly long loading time due to the page size.

Additionally, you should really think about archiving this talk page, it itself takes quite a long time to load and edit on.

Thank you! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 18:29, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy to, except that I don't know what the issues are or what editing to do resolve them. In fact, my sandbox, which I understood is for me to use to experiment with things and store unfinished work, has never come up as an issue in any way before -- and I have been a Wikipedia editor since 2008. So I find it all rather surprising that anyone is paying attention to my sandbox at all, let alone finding fault with it. Anyway, I will appreciate whatever guidance you have for me. (As for archiving my talk page, I don't know how to do that, either, and I never have, dating back to 2008. I think someone suggested I archive it several years ago, but it dd not seem like a priority to me.) Anyway, I mean no harm, but can't do much to help or avoid future problems if I don't know what is wrong and don't know what to do to fix it now and avoid it in the future. Let me know. Thanks! Mdnavman (talk) 13:26, 31 August 2024 (UTC)mdnavman[reply]

Thank you so much for your quick response and willingness to help! As a side note that you probably already know about, but you can certainly create other sandbox pages, as I'd imagine you face the issue with loading times like I do.

Sandbox pages are certainly a place for you to experiment, but the main issue that arises is WP:USERNOCAT. Adding categories to your sandbox makes it show up in categories only intended for mainspace use. To fix that, all that needs to be done is to add a colon to the start of the category, changing it to a link. Not everything is that simple though, as categories can be added when DISPLAYTITLE or DEFAULTSORT conflicts are caused, among other issues. This can sometimes be resolved by simply commenting out these declarations, but sometimes they are added by templates and need to be resolved by passing parameters such as italic_title=no to them (see this diff as an example). These issues can usually be identified by large red text on the page saying "XXX overrides...", though sometimes they are caused by other things and you need to take a look at what categories exist on the page and go from there. Do note that some categories are fine to be on your sandbox- the current state of your page is fine for example. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, and thanks again!
In order to archive your talk page, I'd recommend using User:Lowercase sigmabot III (see instructions). Here is a quick copy-paste you can add to the top of this page if you'd like:

{{Archives|bot=Lowercase sigmabot III|age=30|minthreadsleft=4}}
{{User:MiszaBot/config
| algo                = old(30d)
| archive             = {{SUBST:#titleparts:{{SUBST:FULLPAGENAME}}}}/Archive %(counter)d
| counter             = 1
| maxarchivesize      = 150K
| archiveheader       = {{Automatic archive navigator}}
| minthreadstoarchive = 1
| minthreadsleft      = 4
}}

~ Eejit43 (talk) 16:31, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bump. Your sandbox is prohibitively huge and impossible to address multiple tracked issues within your sandbox due to the page and it's templates timing out. Most editors have multiple sandboxes to keep things a manageable size instead of having one giant freeforall page, so if you would, please split that out into a few different sandbox/draft pages. Also, please remove or archive old discussions here, this page is also getting slow in loading inhibiting our ability to talk/discuss things with you. If you need help with either task, feel free to let either of us know and we'd be happy to assist. Thank you. Zinnober9 (talk) 16:44, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additional infobox for government change

I don't believe that we need to add an infobox covering the change in government from Kingdom of Italy to Italian Republic. We certainly don't use one whenever an new French Republic is created from the earlier one. Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 08:52, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do things like that for a reason. It makes things more clear to people who don't understand Italian history, which probably is most people. It also clarifies why the Italian navy changes names in 1946, etc. It is more helpful and informative to the reader to leave it in than to take it out. After all, the country was no longer a kingdom after 1946, so it makes the infobox misleading and wrong NOT to put it in. I see no sense in making the infobox factually wrong for the sake of some kind of unnecessary economy in info boxes. So I am open to ideas about how to present the 1946 change in a better way in the info boxes, but not to hushing it up by leaving it out of the info box.
