User talk:RJASE1

Good morning

Thanks for your encouraging message and I will point out that my name notwithstanding (cf. Bishonen who has also picked a masculine name), I am your UK sister.

Nick Dowling has indicated a way forward at Talk:Flypast, which I feel solves many matters, and I will be pursuing it ASAP. (Alas, I have exams on 31 Jan and 28 Feb!) Inevitably the article will retain its British flavour but it will be more inclusive and balanced and I think this is what you would like to see.

Thanks for your cooperation and material-gathering, which I await with interest. Referring to your earlier suggestions about title change, please don't. Appropriate redirections for US readers are present, and disambiguation pages exist. I know that you personally use the term flyover but please on this occasion stick with flypast. Certainly all the UK and international examples I have cited use the term flypast. Changing it would really take the heart out of the piece. I appreciate your forbearance in this regard. and many thanks again for your indulgence, cooperation and contributions. --FClef (talk) 10:24, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

do not feel like a jackass - feel like a

lovely red cat instead. I will revert to you when I have something written. Meanwhile would you go to your Peer Review page and assure the reviewers that we're taking Nick Dowling's p[oints on board and rewriting will get under way later this week? Thanks. --FClef (talk) 17:09, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Moving Cdn Regiments

Please stop moving the names of Canadian regiments without consultation. Many Canadian Regiments have "The" as part of their official title, while some do not (Governor General's Foot Guards come to mind). WP:NCD also states "This also extends to some non-musical groups, and even beyond "official" naming, for example The Invincibles (which is the nickname of several sports teams).", i.e. keeping the definite article. In short, these are not uncontroversial moves. Please refer them to WP:RM and cite your rationales there. Thanks. --SigPig |^{SEND - OVER} 22:29, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

HI. Thanks. Hope I didn't come across as overly abrupt or sanctimonious or whatnot. I assumed they were good-faith moves in accordance with Wiki guidelines, in order to improve the flow of the project, as opposed to someone trying to impose a particular viewpoint (I've had the honour -- er, honor -- of seeing a few of that color -- er, colour). I've outlined my rationale on the Military History project talk page, under where you so kindly copied my comments (thanks for saving me the task). --SigPig |^{SEND - OVER} 00:05, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

You're quite welcome. I was in the CF for 20 years, so I had a good idea where to look. As for categories, if you want to put The Fubar Highlanders in a category about the Foo military, use a pipe: [[Category:Military of Foo|Fubar Highlanders, The]] will put your entry under "F". If you had an article, say, "List of Regiments of Foo" that you wanted separate, not under "R", do: [[Category:Military of Foo| ]] and it will put it before all the other entries. As for reverting, anything that was cut and pasted -- like the Saskatchewan Dragoons merge -- that can be reverted fairly easily. Anything done with the "move" command is going to require an administrator, to remove the block caused by the redirect. --SigPig |^{SEND - OVER} 00:35, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Ooop! Sorry -- didn't mean to tell you how to suck eggs. I looked at where you indicated -- yeah, I don't know how to affect that either. It's too bad the automatic templates can't be tweaked to say ignore the first two words in an article title (obv they can ignore the first, or perhaps Talk: is a special reserved word that these templates automatically ignore). If it's a matter of ignoring a fixed number of words, perhaps the template can be tweaked in a particular article. I admit I have no idea how the system works. My current computer technical knowledge ranks somewhere between "Luddite" and "Ted Stevens". --SigPig |^{SEND - OVER} 00:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Dropping in on a similar point - you've moved The Royal Scots to Royal Scots, quoting a naming convention; this says "keep unless 'the' is in the official name". In this case, it certainly is - see [1] among others for the various titles - would you mind if I moved it back? Shimgray | talk | 19:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem. If in doubt, check the regiments.org lists, which are pretty accurate for names - it's usually a more modern thing, and occasionally renamings would pick up or drop off the article. Shimgray | talk | 21:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Fixed! Rollback is a wonderful tool :-) Shimgray | talk | 21:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Manhart

No problem. The description from the air force press release identifies her as "Michelle Crossmanhart" aka Michelle Manhart. That would be sufficient citation enough I believe. I noticed that the air force has deleted the image from their website since the controversy broke out, so kudos for getting that uploaded to wikipedia before it was lost forever.--Nobunaga24 02:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

British East India Company

Hey, just to let you know, core "country" (and similar group) articles are generally not considered to be within the scope of WP:MILHIST directly; something like Military history of the British East India Company would be, but the main article itself doesn't have a substantial-enough amount of military content to warrant tagging it. Thanks! Kirill Lokshin 18:16, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Oops

Sorry about using your signature, I'm still learning here, so I didn't know how to warn vandals, so I just copied your warning, and didn't realize that I copied your signature. Thanks for the useful link. KingFace 18:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Erroneous move of The Scout Association of Hong Kong

Dear RJASE, you erroneously move the above article to a title without 'THE', although it is obviously the official title of the organization. Additionally you altered spurious redirects to it, changing it also to the wrong title. I already undid the move. Would you please be so kind as to correct all the wrong linking: a team of people had done this meticulously as the article in question was a FAC, now a Featured Article. And we sure wouldn't want to leave it with messy wikilinking to it, would we? Met vriendelijke groeten, Wim van Dorst (Talk) 22:46, 31 January 2007 (UTC).

re:

I apologize for that. But that person was spamming the page and the only way I could get through to her was to say something right there lol EXXC3L 04:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

thank you, but I'm pretty sure it's all been resolved now. But if this comes up again I will definitely have to give that page a visit. EXXC3L 04:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I only deleted our comments because I just didn't see the point of keeping our argument in the discussion, when the problem has been resolved. If we leave it there, then it'll only be brought back up again. EXXC3L 16:12, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

confused

you removed my addition to the burmese python entry, for not citing a source, but at the botom of the addition was the copyrite notice, which is owned by myself. please could you explaing further, i am new to wikipedia, and thought that by adding my own care and information, as a expirianced keeper, that i may be adding to the help that users can gain on this site.

i also intended, in the near future to add other, simalar guides to some speics that i am also famiar with. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.45.72.65 (talk) 05:35, 2 February 2007 (UTC).

Bully (video game)

Actually, the anonymous editor was correct. The actual line in the movie is "This one time, at band camp, I stuck a flute up my pussy." It was a running gag that she'd tell all these innocent stories, starting out with "This one time, at band camp..." And at the climax of the movie, she drops that little bomb on the main character,--Vercalos 08:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

It would have been better to just remove everything after band camp, as the band camp part is the important one in that context.--Vercalos 03:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I left you a response over in my talk page (where you had responded to me)

Hi, I will try to do the cite's better, thank you for the link to the cite page. It wasn't clear to me where what style of cite should be used. I left you a response to the other issues over on this ip addresses talk page. Thanks for your help! 71.39.78.68 17:21, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

regarding your comment at my talk page: i was just about to revert the rest, i hadn't noticed them right away.

• I haven't exceeded 3RR nor do I plan to; this edit actually left the changes the anon put in, before it became obvious that the majority of the other editors disagreed with it. In any case, since the anon has violated 3RR, I reported him. JuJube 02:10, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
  • No prob, I'm actually glad you're on the ball about it. :) JuJube 02:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Timothy Dees

• I believe the basic Timothy Dees article looked pretty sound to me with solid cites; somebody went in and vandalized the death section with conspiracy theories. Should the entire article be flagged as a hoax? I removed the "Conspiracies" section, so it looks like it's back to normal. Thanks! Dodgers7878

• • There seem to be links to a Faroe Islands Web site and a journal citation that some third party (neither you nor I) put down..?
