Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. I've had to place enough unsigned templates after your entries to warrant a template even though you're a regular. -MBK₀₀₄ 05:47, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I get forgetful sometimes.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 05:50, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

And I got back to you at my page. You know, I have a 100% edit summary use in mainspace and 99.9% in all others: [1]. -MBK₀₀₄ 07:13, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Irish Oak

Thanks for your attention to the Irish Oak. I'm going to give it a rest for a short time. Then I would rather return to the original plan of pushing Irish Mercantile Marine during World War II which I see as the 'umbrella' article, before attending to individual ships or companies. When Irish Mercantile Marine during World War II makes the grade, follow up with another ship - other than the Irish Oak - such as the MV Kerlogue, which is regarded as the 'exemplar'. An advantage of the Irish Oak is that John Clarke is still with us. However from a wikipedia pov it also introduced OR issues. He says (and I believe him, it makes sense) that the Irish Oak did warn the convoy and that the Greek deliberately sabotaged the engines - but we can't say that. I'm wikibreaking for a while.

Sounds like a plan; just pay attention to the structure and language used to avoid copy edit requirements, etc. when you work on the other articles. It won't be OR if you can get him to say something in public which you can then quote! ;-) --Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:15, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

An editor has agreed to copy-edit the article. Will it need to be resubmitted or are you willing to review the article once it has been copyedited. Mjroots (talk) 19:33, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

I'll take a look at it when it's done and pass it if it meets the criteria. Or note what still needs to be done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:38, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for GA work

Thanks for giving me the time to come up with required details at Harold M. McClelland. Your insistence made me at times frustrated and huffy, but it resulted in a much better article. You rock! Binksternet (talk) 19:37, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey, no problem. I've been the beneficiary of some extended criticism myself which has torqued me on occasion, but the article has usually been better off for it. Amazing the blind spots we develop, isn't it? Now let's see if we can get the other two up to speed as they have many of the same sorts of issues.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:41, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Yermolayev Yer-2

Hi, I was wondering if you were aware that your article Yermolayev Yer-2 had been reviewed for GAN here, since you haven't responded. Regards, —mattisse (Talk) 23:44, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

I responded, that's what the indented lines are; I just forgot to sign the responses. I was getting read to ping the reviewer to see if he's looked at the revisions or not.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:48, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

35th Infantry Division (United States)

Sturmvogel, you seem well connected. I wanted to know if you had heard anything about the 39th IBCT being placed under the 35th ID and 45th IBCT being moved to another division. The 2009 Kansas Adjutant General's Report (http://kansastag.ks.gov/AdvHTML_Upload/Annual%20Report%202009.pdf) reports it that way. The Previous Kansas AG (2007 and 2008)reports still had the 45th IBCT in the 35th and no 39th IBCT. Shrike6 (talk) 01:22, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Kansas should know since the HQ of the 35th is in Leavenworth. However, I'd suggest checking with the relevant AGs (Oklahoma (45th), Texas (36th ID), and Arkansas (39th)) to verify. I'm not in the division any longer so I don't know why such a change would have been made.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:28, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for looking...

... at Melbourne-Voyager collision. I should be able to get those facts cited in the next 24 hours. Would you be willing to cruise back in a day or two and see if you are satisfied enough to mark it as B class? -- saberwyn 02:02, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Absolutely. Just let me know when.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:03, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
