Clemson University Project

Hello. I am working on the article for Castle Kilbride to complete a college project. I have seen that you have done a great deal of editing to a page similar to mine. Can you look in my sandbox and leave some tips for me? Tqhtherock17 (talk) 12:40, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've had a quick look at that. It's very thorough, but I do think it needs some copyediting; nothing major. It's already at a level better than most article on Wikipedia! --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 16:03, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Post-nominals

I'm testing Template:Post-nominals however it defaults to the Canadian template even when

  1. the template is called/referenced using '''John Smith''' {{Post-nominals|country=NZL|QFSM|QPM|QFSMds|QPMds}}
  2. there is a document named Template:Post-nominals/NZL
  3. the data file includes the lines

| QFSM = [[Queen's Fire Service Medal for Gallantry|QFSM]]
| QPM = [[Queen's Police Medal for Gallantry|QPM]]
| QFSMd = [[Queen's Fire Service Medal for Distinguished Service|QFSM]]
| QPMd = [[Queen's Police Medal for Distinguished Service|QPM]]

The expected outcome is John Smith QFSM QPM QFSM QPM

The observed outcome is John Smith QFSM QPM

QPMds and QFSMds are unique to the NZL template are missing, my conclusion is that the Canadian template is referenced even though country=NZL is the second parameter. Could you tell me what I'm missing when trying to reference a different template?

A cheeseburger for you!

Thank you for the way you absorbed details of the 9th Duke of Devonshire's military career and positions into the general text of the article, so soon after I provided the information in section paragraph form. Cloptonson (talk) 20:00, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I am trying to keep my weight down. But, thank you, regardless! --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 15:58, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Caribbean Version of the Diamond Jubilee Medal

Good evening Mr. or Mrs Miesianiacal. I could admit that the link that I had provided towards Dr. Christopher McCreery's book Commemorative Medals of the Queen's Reign in Canada does not provide the information that I provided on the page of the Diamond Jubilee Medal. However, on page 124 and 125 of the book, we can read the following information:

The Criteria for bestowal of the Diamond Jubilee Medal of the Caribbean Realms will be set individually by each of the eight Caribbean islands, and medals will be presented by the governor general in each country. The number of medals awarded will likely be small given that the combined population of the participating countries is just over 3.8 million people.

A rhodium-plated 32mm medal with a claw-footed syspender, the obverse of the Diamond Jubilee Medal of the Caribbean Realms bears the same effigy of the Queen used for the United Kingdom issue and is circumscribed by the text THE DIAMOND JUBILEE QUEEN ELIZABETH II. The reverse bears the Royal Cypher in the centre, with the text CARIBBEAN REALMS and the dates 1952-2012. The ribbon is the same as the for the Canadian and United Kingdom medals, with the exception that the 2 mm central stripe is black.

I have also taken pictures of the image of the medal provided in Dr. McCreery's book, which I will post on the Talk page of the medal. If needed, I would be willing to scan the information, however seeing Dr. McCreery's work on the issue of Honours, I would believe that the information is credible.

Therefore, would it be possible to re-post the information that I have provided? (talk) 01:25, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have also just posted the information on the talk page, with the image. I hope that this helps. (talk) 01:25, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have responded to your similar post at the article's talk page. However, I'll say here: Nothing you inserted into the article was removed. It just requires a citation. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 16:00, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
