That El Alamein museum essay we discussed...
...is here in draft -- any comments welcome! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 15:32, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
- Nice work! As a review, you may want to assess more of what you're describing, but otherwise I like it. Nice anecdotes. :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 18:28, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
- Ta, added a bit more so think that's a wrap. I've put it under op-ed for now, as Nick did last month, but if a purpose-written op-ed is available we could move my bit to the review section. I'll try and knock off the remaining A-Class blurbs tomorrow night if you want to do the editorial again and perhaps awards/honours... Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 15:03, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
- We could always just make a one-off "review essay" section too, because we do have DCI's 'revitalizing WP:HISTORY' sort-of op-ed in the holding section. I can do those tonight or tomorrow for sure. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 19:38, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry took a while to reply, must've missed that last post. Yes I noticed that draft op-ed so no prob running it as such -- I'll see how I go creating the one-off review essay section without buggering anything up... ;-) I've created the other pages/headers, checked that there were no awards in November (that saved some work!) and finished off the A-Class blurbs with assistance from Hawkeye, so the main thing remaining is From the editors, which I probably won't have time for before Xmas (and I think we'd better get the issue out by Xmas at least)...! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 16:24, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
- No worries, I got caught up in the Malleus debacle just before my brother managed to wreck our wifi while hooking up a new computer. ;-) No awards? Strange. I'll try to write up a small bit now and finish it off in a couple hours. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 18:33, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
- Hi mate, had a quick look at everything and just tweaked here and there, so as far as I'm concerned feel free to despatch the thing...! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 09:37, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
- Tweaked a few more things (yes, I'm pedantic!) and I'll get Edwardsbot to dispatch it now. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 10:39, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

A Merry Christmas for Mr. Ed
Hey, Ed. I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. You're a really nice guy and has helped me countless times before and I'm really, really grateful. I hope you're doing fine. Regards! P.S.: I'm right now in my home town in Fortaleza. My book is in Brasília where I live now. I'be back to Brasília on 3 January and then I'll be able to do what you requested. Is that ok? --Lecen (talk) 11:27, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
- Right back at you, Lecen. Thanks for all your help with my articles as well. That will work – the FAC will run into the beginning of my semester, but I can deal with that. Thanks! Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 18:33, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Regarding this edit, you need to bump the key (use 0212) and you used ~~~~, which will sign as the bot, not as you. You probably want to insert your signature code directly and then append a timestamp (~~~~~). --MZMcBride (talk) 14:09, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
- Heh, that'll teach me to use an old revision. Thanks MZM. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 19:57, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
Fiction and Amagi
I'd like to discuss the reversion of my edit you made to the Amagi class battlecruiser, perhaps you missed that the section title was called "Fiction"?
This edit is absolutely relevant to the Amagi page; It relates directly to this class of ship in the fictional Destroyermen_(book_series), which is notable enough in Wikipedia standards to have multiple pages devoted to the series in the encyclopedia. Let me quote you from the opening paragraph of the Destroyerman page: "The books chronicle the (fictional) adventures of the crews of the destroyer USS Walker (DD-163) and the Japanese battlecruiser Amagi...".
What you reverted was absolutely a relevant edit to the page. I would also like to bring to your attention similar "Fiction" sections in the pages of USS Walker (DD-163), USS Mahan (DD-102), USS S-19 (SS-124), and references to fiction in other pages such as the USS Nautilus (SSN-571) - so there is precident to have references to fiction where the article in question is extensively referred in fictional novels. With that in mind I would like to discuss the return of the "Fiction" section to the Amagi with you in one form or another, since I believe that it meets notability standards. Timmccloud (talk) 16:37, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
- I'm still opposed to including anything that has absolutely nothing to do with the real ship in prose. I could agree to a link to the series in a "See also" section, but that's about it. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 19:57, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
- I think a "see also" is a fine compromise. Will you do it, or shall I? Timmccloud (talk) 23:31, 27 December 2011 (UTC) :)
- It's done! :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 05:30, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

SW talk
Happy New Year, Ed,
I appreciate your respect, and it is truly mutual and I am happy that you are patching things up with the newly renamed Scotty. Yes, he was a bit too tough in that comment, but he has, in general, been far more agreeable of late. So, I try to recognize improvement when I see it. Take care, Ed. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:59, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
- I do see what you're trying to do, but I felt I needed to highlight that one specific comment he made. Nothing against you intended. :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 10:30, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, I know that. Feel free to call me Pollyanna any time you want. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 16:01, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk page stalkers: NARA on-wiki ExtravaSCANza participation
Hey TPSers, how are you all doing? I'm asking you all to take a look at User:The ed17/NARA to brainstorm ideas and a structure on how we can help the National Archives ExtravaSCANza. My hope is that the success of this event will ensure that others will be organized in the future, even without Dominic as a Wikipedian-in-Residence, so we all benefit from the high-quality, formerly non-digitized media uploaded to the Commons.

Ready to go...
Ok, I've signed up everyone as of now, revealed the pool and sent around welcome messages. (See this, in case it's helpful. At the very least, it has a pre-typed welcome message!) I think it's pretty much ready to go. As I say, doing this now, as I am busy this evening. Happy new year! J Milburn (talk) 17:49, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
- Cock-up with the welcome notes, caused a little bit of drama. My fault. Should all be fixed now, I hope it doesn't marr the competition. J Milburn (talk) 19:05, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
- Nice job! Sorry about the late reply, I saw this last night and decided I wasn't in a very good state to be editing. Doesn't look like it was much of a mistake, we'll be fine. Happy New Year to you too! Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 03:56, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
