Hi, I have removed the section on salutes I forgot I had copied from the Army web page - it was supposed to remind me to locate that information as the Army page is actually incorrect. I hope you think it is OK now.

Nice work on White Peak Station and Seaview Cottage, both great articles! If you ever need a hand with anything let me know on my talk page. (Although I'm about to go on holidays for a week). Cheers Hughesdarren (talk) 23:16, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source/license for File:22WMRS.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:22WMRS.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

9.1x17R moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, 9.1x17R, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Re: Draft:9.1x17R

Hello SimonFoley I have added projects History, Firearms, Portugal, to your article. You may wish to join them, check their to-do, and meet new people with interest in these topics.

Your draft article, Draft:9.1x17R
