Work hard on that dissertation! I've been taking a bit of an all round break, but starting next week I'll be back to work on mine! I very much look forward to "touching base" with you when we're both back at Wiki firing on all cylinders. With that mixed metaphor I should probably make my way to sleep, it's a crazy hour of the morning here in Sydney. All the best. Alastair Haines (talk) 17:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Jrandolph.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) 19:37, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well done! I bet you're delighted now that it's finally promoted :) --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 02:37, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Roger, I was delighted--and a bit relieved. This was my first brush with a "walkabout" reviewer, and I was concerned about the outcome. Thanks, again, for your feedback and support, and congratulations on the well-deserved promotion of Hamlet! At this point, I need to focus on some real-world responsibilities, but I look forward to being back in the saddle some time in the early spring. Cheers, -- twelsht (talk) 05:42, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review swap?

I notice your request for a peer review on Jack Warner's article on User:4u1e's talk page. Would you be willing to barter and do a peer review the Alan Kulwicki article in exchange for my peer review of Wagner's article? Royalbroil 17:31, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deal. I won't be doing the peer review for at least one day. Royalbroil 19:24, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings

Nice to see you back and thanks for the offer. What does the T stand for, by the way, or is it a secret? Have you thought about Military history copy-editing? We're always short of copy-editors there. That would be a great help. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 19:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message, Tom. They're always cropping up. I'll come back to you when a specific article crops up. You might think about joining Milhist. It gets quite buzzy! --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 05:10, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've been meaning to post something on Milhist copy-editing for ages and have actually done it here. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 05:49, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Review request

Alas, I'm pretty full-up with real-life work at the moment. If you still need my eyes on it, check back in a week or so? Good luck. – Scartol • Tok 19:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, article improvement contests, and other tasks.
We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
We've developed a style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention.
The project has a stress hotline available for your use.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill 06:35, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jack Warner

No problem - those were just tweaks. I'll get on with peer review comments this morning, hopefully. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 07:26, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've finished. I'll check back at the page, but feel free to contact me if I've been unclear, or you feel the need to abuse me verbally ;-) 4u1e (talk) 18:59, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've reviewed the article. 4u1e is so thorough - he's a tough act to follow! He helped show me the ropes on our first combined GA article Mario Andretti. Alan Kulwicki is the first article that I'm attempting GA alone. I thought you should know that before you review. BTW, I haven't uploaded a fair use image of Kulwicki since I avoid them. I think eventually they'll be banned/deleted, and I hate to waste effort. I've made attempts to get a free use image of Kulwicki since I've made some inroads into Wisconsin's stock car racing scene, which was Kulwicki's scene. I talked with Kulwicki's friend Father Dale Grubba, a Roman Catholic priest who's putting the finishing touches on a Kulwicki book to be released later this year. He said that he's putting together his images for the book. I asked if he might allow licensing of a lower value photograph (not high enough quality to be sold), so he's supposedly watching for one. Royalbroil 15:16, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found a quote from Kulwicki's publicity about his "hard to know" personality and followed it up that he remained a bachelor (which I didn't cite because it should not be controversial even though I found a source). I added it to the lead paragraphs. Does the placement make sense?

It looks like you shouldn't have any more questions for me on Jack Warner. Buzz me if you do. Royalbroil 14:45, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much, Tom. Appreciated. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 13:37, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Ta very much. Obviously I wasn't too harsh with my comments! Phew. 4u1e (talk) 21:38, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Milhist: Logistics dept

This is now up and running. I've signed you up for copy-editing :) You may wish to pop over there' and add whatever qualifiers you consider necessary. Don't you have JSTOR access too? All the best, and thanks, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 12:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Can't you do graphics as well (hint, hint)? :) --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 05:42, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now that is useful to know. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 07:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jack Warner

I don't think the edits were necessarily vandalism: assuming good faith, the editor may simply have been unaware of why they were removed. This is a revert and talk one, I think. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 22:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found a claim about Harry chasing Jack with a lead pipe in the book Hollywood Be Thy Name; Schochet must have been mistaken.Kevin j (talk) 01:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What I suggest is that you two find forms of words that are acceptable to you both. This will mean compromise on both sides, and working together, as opposed to working against each other. Providing stuff is reliably sourced it can be included, though it might need a bit of cooperative editing to make sure that any additions fit in with the flow and tone of the article. I am not interested in arbitrating on content but I can certainly provide a second opinion on wording. So can we stop this add, revert, add cycle, please? --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 07:05, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the Barnstar, Twelsht, and Roger Davies, we did manage to find a compromise through a reliable printed source. Kevin j (talk) 15:08, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats on the article achiving FA! It was helpful watching the article go through the FA process. Royalbroil 03:45, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well done on achieving FA - that was pretty quick, which is usually a good sign! If you're in the mood for it, could I ask you to cast a critical eye over Max Mosley, which is on FAC at the moment. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 04:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ta. It's 4 in the morning here, but I've just got up to watch the first race of the F1 season. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 04:22, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the kind words. I am sorry I was so swamped with other things, so I didn't have a chance to review it, but what I saw looked pretty good. Congrats! Ealdgyth - Talk 05:19, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

		The Featured Article Medal
		For your hard work on Youngstown Ohio Works, Youngstown, Ohio, Jimmy McAleer and now Jack Warner, all featured articles, please accept this Featured Article Medal. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 06:16, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the barnstar, and congratulations on your new FA! I really appreciate your being so gracious during the FAC process. Just showing up with an article that's close to ready is rare enough, so it really was a pleasant surprise to get both :) Maralia (talk) 19:20, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're a rollbacker!

I've made you a rollbacker. This'll make fighting genuine vandalism and maintenance on your featured articles easier. As you know, it reverts all the edits by the last editor to the last edit by the previous one in one go. And, as you also know, it must never be used in content or editing disputes. Anyhow, if you want the rollbacker icon top right on your user page just add {{rollback}} to it. Good luck, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 06:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the barnstar. I'm please it all worked out well. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 06:09, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Many thanks for the work on and support for Max Mosley. (I wouldn't have minded if you had opposed, btw!). I've fiddled around with (I think) three of your changes, because of the way I wanted ideas to join up, but your edits are definitely an improvement. Thanks again. 4u1e (talk) 10:16, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Ohio Newsletter

Issue II - May 2008

From the editor:
Here's Issue II of the project newsletter. We're trying to decide if this is sinking or floating. If you would like to contribute to next month's newsletter please jump right in at the News Desk! Have a great May.
The Ohio Portal
The maintainers of the Ohio Portal are looking to get it to featured status. They would like to ask all project members to help improve it any way they can. What needs to be done most is the supplying of selected articles and images.
Selected Article: Indian Head Rock
There is a eight ton rock in Ohio that was removed from the Ohio River. This rock is known as the Indian Head Rock Dating back to the early 1800’s, this rock was seen sticking out of the Ohio River and used as a navigational mark for barges along the river. The names of citizens from the town of Portsmouth, Ohio are carved into the rock from the late nineteenth a early twentieth centuries. Some of the names were of well known families from Ohio. They would swim out to the rock, have their picture taken with it or simply carve their names into it. With the advent of the Locks and Dams along the Ohio River, the rock eventually was submerged, but the legend lived on. A gentleman from Ironton, Ohio located the rock after searching a very long time for it, and he and a crew of scuba divers recovered the rock and took it to the shore to be donated to Ohio for historical value. After hearing the news about the rock being removed, Kentucky introduced legislation against the removal of the rock. They also want the diver who found it to be prosecuted for removing the rock. Kentucky owns the greatest part of the land the river runs on. Even the Army Corp. of Engineers got involved as to how to move the rock without damaging it. Kentucky wants to have it returned to the river. Billy Massie
