Map markings and secrecy

Hello, Anne,

So far as I have been able to figure, such markings as 28K 5C were markings drawn on clear or translucent overlays to maps of the battle area (or directly on the maps). The markings do not conform to any cartographic system with which I am familiar, and I was trained as a cartographic draftsman at one time. These non-standard markings would serve as a code, thus denying information to the enemy if intelligence reports should leak. As part of my military intelligence duties, I sometimes prepared such overlays for use in Vietnam and other places.

At any rate, I would render that location as "Map grid 28K 5C". An alternative, if you are not comfortable with this solution, is to simply leave the entry out.

Best regards,

George

Ah, secret code! I love it! I just took your advice Thank you, Anne

About orillons

Did you know we have an Orillon Battery which forms part of Gibraltar's Northern Defences? --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 23:23, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

No, I did not. Thanks for the tip! Good timing! I was planning on just doing a tiny stub for orillon, but decided this afternoon to take it to start class. I'm just winding it up now. Anne (talk) 23:34, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Deletion review of AfD that you participated in

As you participated a few days ago in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flat Bastion Road, I thought you might wish to know that the result of that discussion (to keep the article) is being challenged in a deletion review. If you have any views on this (i.e. whether to endorse the result, overturn it or something else) then please feel free to comment at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2012 October 2. Prioryman (talk) 22:00, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Flat Bastion Road again

Hello Anne. Let me first congratulate you on all the wonderful work you've been doing on Gibraltar. I have also appreciated your very sensible comments in discussions, last but not least in connection with the witch hunt on Flat Bastion Road. May I simply suggest that you implement your proposal to improve the article by deleting irrelevant information, perhaps also expanding on the basis of the authorative sources you seem to have identified. Maybe a tie up with the article you have written on Flat Bastion would also be in order. In so doing, you will probably take the wind out of the sails of those who would like to see the article deleted. Keep up the good work! --Ipigott (talk) 08:44, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Re: Flat Bastion

Hi Anne. I've never come across a name for the archway/gate in Charles V Wall at the end of Flat Bastion Road, so it's either unnamed or the name has gone into disuse. Indeed, a section of the southern wall of Flat Bastion was cut/demolished to make way for Gardiner's Road which connects Flat Bastion Road to Europa Road. You can see a photo of the cross-section of the cut wall on DiscoverGibraltar. Been wanting to take some photos but I've had my one year old in hospital so not had much time. I've started reading up on the deletion review but I'll have to finish reading in the morning. Remember to take everything you read in these discussions with a handful of salt! If you feel you can improve the article in the meantime, please go ahead. Any points you need clarifying, as always, please ask. --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 21:55, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry to hear that your baby has been in the hospital. It can very frightening as a parent. One of the scariest times for me was the day that both my infant and my toddler were in the operating room. Later, when I brought the children home from the hospital, both in their car seats and swaddled in bandages, I was stopped by a traffic policeman for some trivial reason! I explained that I was returning home from the hospital with my post-operative children and he didn't believe me. However, just one look at the pathetic sight in the back seat and he sheepishly backed away! So, at least it ended with a little comic relief. I hope your baby is doing better. Get some sleep. Doctor's orders! Anne (talk) 22:34, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I saw the photo on the Discover page. That was one of the reasons that I was asking. I was preparing to upload it to Wikimedia and I couldn't find a formal name for the gate. Anne (talk) 22:37, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Wow, it must have been really scary to have had them both been operated on at the same time! Hope they're OK now. Definitely trying to catch up on sleep over the weekend. You're a Doc? --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 09:03, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Yup. They're two active, healthy teenagers now, driving me crazy. Anne (talk) 11:54, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Re: Nuns or Nuns' or Nun's Well

I think it's Nun's Well and it's definitely notable enough to have it's own article. So, if you're up for it why not start a new article and replace the section in Europa Point with a summary of the new article? Here are some more sources: [1] [2] [3]. Toromedia is new to wiki and still getting to grips with everything, so maybe just leave him a quick message informing him of the copyvio issue and how he should reflect info from sources to Wikipedia. He's a nice guy, just needs a little guidance. --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 21:55, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Sounds like a good plan! Is your baby home from the hospital yet? Anne (talk) 22:55, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Good start on the article. Yes, she's home and back to her usual self running about and chasing the dog :) --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 09:09, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Excellent! Aren't babies great? When my children drive me insane, I try to remember their days as babies and toddlers. Enjoy! Anne (talk) 12:01, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

I'll remember that tip in fifteen years time! :)

I think it's safe to say that sentence should read: "Nuns' Well is acknowledged by consensus to be the only remaining pre-British construction for water storage in Gibraltar." There are massive reservoirs cut into tunnels within The Rock but these are of British construction. They used to be filled from natural water catchments on the western slopes of The Rock and later a huge artificial one constructed on the Great Sand Dune on the east side. They are still in use but are now filled with fresh water produced at a desalination on the North Mole. Hope this helps. --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 23:14, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Another great job Anne! This will fit in nicely when someone eventually writes on water supply in Gibraltar and the underground Moorish Aqueduct, thanks. :) --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 22:01, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Streets in Gibraltar

Started this. Please help improve by finding reliable sources about the roads and photographs.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:43, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

I'll be happy to help. Anne (talk) 13:49, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

It should be a chance to shine as most of the roads, especially those mentioned should have a few sources about the roads themselves. If you want more roads look on google maps or see the list hidden in Template:Streets in Gibraltar. I think I've mentioned most of the most notable ones to start with anyway. Superb work on Flat Bastion Magazine too, love some of the photos of it too!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:52, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. I think the streets article is a great idea, particularly given what's transpired recently. Anne (talk) 14:16, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Re-edit as you deem appropriate. If it is your attention to fully develop it before the deadline of course. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:07, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

DYK nominations

Hi Anne, I've nominated two of your recent articles for DYK - see Template:Did you know nominations/Main Guard and Template:Did you know nominations/Flat Bastion Magazine. Prioryman (talk) 00:56, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

This should be interesting. Thank you. Anne (talk) 10:21, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it's quite a frothy discussion so far. :-) I've also nominated Template:Did you know nominations/Nun's Well, Gibraltar. I'll keep an eye on your contributions for other new articles. You're doing great work - please keep it up! Prioryman (talk) 12:11, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. When you have a chance, could you take a look at Streets in Gibraltar, section Devil's Tower Road? I finished it yesterday evening, after completing the main article and now someone (Nvvchar) has added misspellings, incorrect information-tower dismantled 2004, a tunnel which doesn't belong in this section, and one source, which doesn't back up the claims and is named (Ha! Ha!) "Gibralatarpedia". Is this a joke??? I assume its vandalism. Any thoughts??? I plan on reversing the edit today. Anne (talk) 16:16, 11 October 2012 (UTC) P.S. Section also has inserts like "noinclude" with < and >. Anne (talk) 16:39, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Great! Maybe I'll do a separate Gibraltar 2 article. 12:32, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Great to hear the future plans guys! Anne, I was just thinking that some of the detail on the Devil's Tower child may fit better in Devil's Tower (Gibraltar) instead of the road article... What do you think? --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 22:30, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

No problem. I'll take a look this evening and tomorrow and play around with it. I'll move some info from Devil's Tower Road to Devil's Tower and start Gibraltar 2, also. I'm just starting a little separate article on what we discussed a few weeks ago, Gibraltar Cross of Sacrifice (and later, Gibraltar Memorial). Just finished Devil's Tower Road and corresponding section for Streets in Gibraltar today. Busy, busy, busy. Anne (talk) 22:44, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Better, keep it about the road. Good job on both though.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:35, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Ref maker

Anne did you know about the google book ref maker http://reftag.appspot.com/ . paste in a google book url to it and it'll make citations, just click last name to reverse authors and sometimes you might have to enter in the page number if missing. I can show you to put google book and google ref maker into your itinary at the top of the page if you want it, just tell me what browser and what wiki skin you use. I find it much quicker for finding sources.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:17, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

No, I'd never heard about it previously. I have Safari for Mac OS X. I'm not very wiki-savvy; so, I don't know what a wiki skin is. Anne (talk) 20:44, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Go into your preferences. Click appearance. you have the choice to change wiki skin, I'd imagine you're using standard vector. You should try monobook (the old one), Modern or Cologne Blue, those are the best ones. Click whatever skin and press save. Anyway you decide and tell me which skin you are using and I'll show you then how to put it in your itinery for easy access when you write articles. BTW the DYK deadline for Streets is today, we might get a few extra days to work on it...♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:12, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi

Wanted to say thanks very much for all the amazing articles you're creating and working on. If you need any photos for anything please ask, I'm organising some photography days but I or a local can always take them. :)

Mrjohncummings (talk) 15:14, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. And I'd love to arrange for some photos. I've been trying to use what we have or upload them myself from old sources or from DiscoverGibraltar.com, which has been a great source of both info and images! This week, I'll go through all of my Gibraltar articles and make a list of those that could benefit from a photo. Anne (talk) 15:20, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Trafalgar Cemetery challenge

This Sunday is the Battle of Trafalgar commemoration day - there will be an annual commemoration event in Trafalgar Cemetery in Gib. It would be great if we could get a 5x expansion done in time for the article to be ready for DYK for that day. Could you see what you can do with it? Prioryman (talk) 23:37, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Great idea! Let me make it my project for tomorrow and then you can take a look at it and see what you'd like to change or add. By the way, when I first saw your note a couple of minutes ago, I thought you were referring to the Battle of Trafalgar, which I quickly learned was already a huge article. I had already been contemplating a week or two ago an expansion of the cemetery, not aware of the timing. This will work out great. I finished an article a few minutes ago. I'm just about to add categories to Princess Amelia's Battery. Anne (talk) 23:48, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Anne, I've nominated your three Princesses for DYK as a single hook - see Template:Did you know nominations/Princess Caroline's Battery. I took a bunch of pictures in the cemetery the weekend before last so I'll contribute those too. Prioryman (talk) 01:20, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you! And I noticed a few hours ago that you had nominated Gibraltar Cross of Sacrifice and Gibraltar 2. That's great! I'll get that Trafalgar Cemetery expansion done tomorrow and it sounds like we'll be in good shape for photos. Anne (talk) 02:04, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Great job once again! You're well past 5x now (closer to 9x, I would say). I've nominated the article and requested a fast-track review so that, hopefully, it'll appear on Trafalgar Day. Prioryman (talk) 06:56, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Re; Evil doings

Hey, I don't know what it could have been. Is it working now? --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 09:24, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm back in the system with a new password. But it appears that somehow I'm being logged out of both Wikipedia and Wikimedia. It started more than 48 hours ago and is occurring on a regular basis. Very odd. Anne (talk) 11:47, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

That sounds very strange indeed. Silly question, but when you login do you tick the box that says "Remember my login on this browser" or words to that effect? --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 11:53, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

I tried it, but the system seemed to ignore it (the way aol has been ignoring that tick mark for months). I just woke up less than an hour ago and the system hasn't thrown me out yet. Maybe (fingers crossed) the problem has resolved itself. Anne (talk) 12:07, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome. Happy to help. I'll take a look at it now. Anne (talk) 12:52, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! In your comment you mentioned infoboxes. I am familiar with the more common infoboxes - schools, people, etc. - but I can't think what kind of infobox to use for a historic trail. Any suggestions? --MelanieN (talk) 17:11, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

I was wondering whether you could just use the simple template Infobox road. Anne (talk) 17:20, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

I just looked at a number of templates, including various "road" and "historic" templates, but none seems like it would add much to the article. I notice that other historic trails such as Silk Road and El Camino Real (California) don't use an infobox. Apparently nobody has developed one that would be very helpful in describing historic routes. --MelanieN (talk) 17:48, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

When you have a chance, take a look at the infobox for U. S. Route 66. It's just another way to present information. Anne (talk) 19:04, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

O'Hara's

Hi Anne, great job on the Tower and Battery, thanks! I see you've also started it's twin battery Lord Airey's Battery. The nearby Breakneck Battery and Spur Battery also mounted 9.2 inch guns. The latter was found to be in such good shape in the 80s that it was unfortunately dismounted and taken away to one of the Imperial War Museums in the UK... --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 22:46, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I've found some good info for Spur Battery, but not that much yet for Breakneck Battery. I'm still researching it to see whether I can come up with enough for an article. Anne (talk) 14:33, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Re:Conversion template

Hi Anne. It seems the template is using different conversion rates depending on whether it's converting metres to feet or vice versa. I'm no good with the coding of these things but if you notify people on the template's talk page I'm sure someone will look into it.

By the way, awesome job on the batteries of the Upper Rock! I've created a fortifications navbox which I'm including in each article and links them all together. --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 16:40, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Fortifications of Gibraltar

I just thought I'd let you know that I'm planning to start a piece on the Fortifications of Gibraltar – they were really my main focus of interest when I visited, with Clive Finlayson's eponymous book serving as a guide. Hopefully I won't be treading on any toes as the article is still a red link. I'd definitely like to draw on your awesome research skills, so be warned. ;-) Prioryman (talk) 00:20, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

I thought that you were planning on doing one, because of the red links in info boxes. Accordingly, I've been putting that red link in my info boxes, too, and have even put some in the text in the occasional article. So, you should be good. That'll be a great article. Probably very big. I'll be happy to help. I'll also keep plugging away on the individual fortifications, which should be helpful with the big article. Anne (talk) 00:31, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Prioryman, see here for something I started a while back. It would be great if we could work together on this. Also, I've seen your comment on John's page and would like to point out that Anne is also working on the Royal Calpe Hunt. Cheers, --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 11:26, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

I passed out early yesterday evening after a busy day, and thought I was speaking to you when it was really Prioryman. Do either of you know how far the other contributor is with regard to his Hunt article? I'm about 80% complete. (I'm aiming for a C level article.) Also, as I mentioned above, I'll keep plugging away on individual fortifications and then I can help with your big article by composing summaries of my small ones. If you'd like, I can start doing that this week. Thanks. Anne (talk) 12:45, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Prioryman is the one who also wants to work on the Hunt. I don't think he's made a start though. --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 22:42, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I just left him a message. Give me a holler when you want to actually start the process of writing text for the fortifications article. I'll start writing little summaries of my articles when you're ready to start the text of the main article. Anne (talk) 23:32, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Prioryman hasn't replied yet, but just go for it Anne. I was thinking of having it as an overview article on the general fortifications of The Rock explaining the changes through the ages. But I guess the more info the better, just need to figure out how best to structure it. I leave it up to you how you want to start :). By the way I'm in Barcelona for a week and won't be too active. --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 18:49, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Please, check my nomination of the last veteran of the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Only if you want. Thank you. Iowafromiowa (talk) 16:24, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply, but I'm 77 and don't understand Wikipedia very well yet. I don't understand how it works and I have a very hard time when it comes to references and expanding articles since I don't know what's and what's not relevant to the article. I read the letter and I don't think it's relevant to the article. You may ask why I'm so enthusiast about this person, I tell you. I was 18 years old when I heard on the radio about this person's death, and now that I've come to know Wikipedia, I stumbled upon him and created his article. Hope you understand the why behind my enthusiasm for him. Thank you. Iowafromiowa (talk) 17:52, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I just started myself this year. I live in the Midwest, too, Chicago, although I'm from the East Coast. I remember very vividly getting lost in Wikipedia, trying to navigate from page to page. I learned how to use the Wikipedia citation template in April. It looks to me like you're doing great. I'll work with you tomorrow on finding more references and developing your article. Anne (talk) 19:00, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll highly appreciate your help. Who would've said that the 18 year old listening to the radio that night would be creating the article of that person's death almost 60 years later. It's moving for me. Brings about memories. Iowafromiowa (talk) 19:04, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Anne, upon reading this thread, I left a welcome and another greeting for Iowafromiowa (talk).

Thank you. Anne (talk) 23:40, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you!, add yourself as creator of the article on the did you know part!, besides, there's a problem with Siege of Kandahar, that siege, is not the siege of 1880. Hope you understand what I mean. Iowafromiowa (talk) 21:58, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

I usually don't bother with getting credit for helping out with articles. Don't worry about that. I haven't gone through everything yet (I've been working on the article late this afternoon and this evening in between yard work and kids), but do you mean that you linked to the wrong siege? Anne (talk) 23:40, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Yes, the Siege of Kandahar to which is wikilinked is not the Siege of 1880, which I haven't found on Wikipedia. Excuse me, but I must insist that you get credit for helping me out. I highly appreciate your help. Hope you're doing well. Wish you the best. Iowafromiowa (talk) 23:45, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm now going to bed, hope you understand a 77 year old (laughter). But the 18 year old who listened to this person's death on the radio is still pretty active and will try to get him to the main page with the invaluable help of yours. Thank you indeed. Iowafromiowa (talk) 23:57, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

I can't see the books' material, I only see the cover. Iowafromiowa (talk) 12:15, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

I checked the sources this morning and just now tonight, and all 7 of them seemed to be working fine, going directly to the desired page. Do you recall which one was the problem? The first 4 are books, the next 2 the London Gazette, and the last something you might just like personally-an Ancestry message board notice from Hugh's family.

Breakneck Battery

I reviewed your usual fine job done on creating the Breakneck Battery article. I fixed the Template:Fortifications of Gibraltar to use Battery, not battery, and added it to the article. I suspect there are other opportunities to link to this battery from other battery articles. --DThomsen8 (talk) 15:50, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll link it to other articles today. I already started the process. Anne (talk) 15:54, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

I should have known that you were already onto that process! --DThomsen8 (talk) 16:17, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Anne, just seen your message. Unfortunately this isn't a well known battery in Gibraltar as it's out of bounds. To be honest I'd never even heard of it until I started work on the list of fortifications! Will let you know if I come across anything... Oh and well done in covering yet another battery! :) --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 00:08, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Anne, thanks for the thanks. I have been very lucky today and found a picture of the Royal Calpe pub which is decorated within with fox hunt memorabilia and pics - Ive put it in Commons Royal Calpe group. The Royal Calpe is one of my favourite pubs when I go to Gib as the staff are goog hosts and the wi fi works. Its also the favourite of the Gib Chronicle and the Librarian from the Garrison Library (she is a Royal Calpe Enthusiast). I'm confident we can get a plaque outside the pub and inside maybe. Oh and I sent you a mail ... Victuallers (talk) 18:22, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Great. I'll research it this week and see if we can come up with enough for an article! Oh, and did you mean email? Anne (talk) 18:56, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Administration help requested

{{Admin help}} I am a DYK contributor who is assisting someone with their article Gibraltar Ranges. However, the article is incorrectly named and should be Gibraltar Range. Initially that was a redirect to Gibraltar Range National Park. I fixed that redirect and pointed it instead to Gibraltar Ranges. Now, I'm trying to actually move the article to its correct name Gibraltar Range, and it will not cooperate. (I've never had any trouble moving my work from user space to article space.) Thank you. Anne (talk) 22:48, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Looks like it's been fixed. You can't always move over a redirect (only if there is one single edit - otherwise an admin has to delete it first)  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 01:57, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Anne, just wanted to say Hi and to thank you for all the articles you have been writing on Gibraltar! I am new to wiki but as a local who is interested in Gibraltar history I am keen to learn how to edit so that I can help contribute. If you need any photos I am more than happy to help by going out and taking them. Speak to you soon Tommy Toromedia (talk) 19:21, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
