Atholl Highlanders
Hello Dormskirk, I am the archivist at Blair Castle and represent the Atholl Highlanders. Thank you for editing our page but I am having some difficulty with text you have deleted. The text has been provided by the Atholl Higlanders themselves and they have asked me to it add to the page. Please can you add the edited information back to the page. If you would like to contact me directly my email is archive@blair-castle.co.uk.
- Hi - If you represent the Atholl Highlanders or Blair Castle you have a conflict of interest (see WP:COI) and should not edit the article. Any text needs to be properly cited using independent published sources in accordance with WP:V, WP:CITE and WP:RS. If you can provide such sources then please propose the additional material and related citations at Talk:Atholl Highlanders. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 10:06, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Commander UK Strike Force removal of text
Did you check the reference when you removed the detailed list of ships etc regarding the 'Green Eagle' deployment? The list is *fully* cited, though I admit I clearly did not cite the second paragraph which I'll have to re-source before I readd. Please check references more carefully in future.
With the thousands of litres of metaphorical printers' ink which WP editors have spilled over the Royal Navy since the Armada, anything about 'very dated' in regard to anything since 1700 or so sounds a bit hypocritical as well. Regards Buckshot06 (talk) 14:44, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
- If you and maybe others believe that the COMUKMARFOR history from 2001-2010 ish is dubious with the Strike Force article, I will split UKMARFOR to reduce the chances that somebody thinks it's dated enough to just remove. Buckshot06 (talk) 14:50, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
- Apologies if I removed something I should not have. My intention was really just to clean up the article following the change of name. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 15:34, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
13th Signal History
Can you help work on the history of 13 Signal Regiment (United Kingdom), clean it up further and when was it disbanded exactly?
Thanks
BlueD954 (talk) 05:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
- I have cleaned it up a bit. It appears to have been disbanded sometime in 1995. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 08:39, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
NHS trust / board navboxes
Hi,
I noticed that you have been editing some navbox templates that I have created for NHS trusts and boards (e.g. Template:Aneurin Bevan University Health Board) by adding the word "hospitals" to the titles, and moving some others from "Template:XXX" to "Template:Hospitals in XXX".
Personally, I do not agree with this. For example, I have added these navboxes to the articles for the trusts/boards, and not just the hospitals, so it is better if the title is just the name of the trust/board as this means it can be used for both trust articles and hospital articles.
Furthermore, some of your moves do not make sense to me from a grammatical point of view. For example, you moved a template I created from Template:NHS Highland to Template:Hospitals in NHS Highland. I don't think this is correct as "NHS Highland" is not a geographical area, but rather an organisation, so the hospitals are not "in" the organisation but rather run by them. Template:NHS Highland hospitals would make more sense, but as I said, since I want to use these templates on the trust articles as well it would be better if they were at Template:NHS Highland.
Please let me know what you think of this.

- Hi - I actually don't have strong views on this. I am trying to achieve consistency. If you look at "Category:Hospital templates" you will see that the Scottish ones are now all "Hospitals in NHS ...". I don't think it matters as long as we have consistency. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 18:22, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick reply. I see what you mean by the original NHS Scotland templates, some of which date back to 2007, and were created by an editor who is no longer active. Since you don't have a strong opinion on this, would you mind if I moved them all to my preferred name, so long as it is consistent? Elshad (talk) 18:29, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I am referring to the earlier templates. I am fine for you to change them all to your preferred name. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 18:44, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Create article on ACNS People Transformation
This person is going to be important for Royal Navy reform. Ought to place him in the Organisation section. What do you think?
See https://issuu.com/navynews/docs/nn_issuu_march_2020 page 21 Rear Admiral Philip Hally.
BlueD954 (talk) 11:42, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- I agree that he is going to be important for naval reform. However he does not hold any of the key posts listed in the Organisation section so my current view is that it would not be appropriate to include him there at this time. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 12:09, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Aw.BlueD954 (talk) 14:36, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Check my latest edits both officers holding the post of Navy Secretary and Flag Officer Seat Training have recently retired - links added to their pages/profile. Quite sure based on the Navy News article, RADM Philip Hally has assumed their responsibilities. Create article? BlueD954 (talk) 02:21, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I will create one. Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 07:30, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
- See Philip Hally. I now agree with you that as Assistant Chief of the Naval Staff (People Transformation) he should appear in the Organisation section. Many thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 08:29, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
- Good one but I don't agree with Colin Mackie that Hally's title is Navy Secretary. He is just ACNS People Transformation but takes upon the responsibilities of FOST and NS.BlueD954 (talk) 13:08, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
- I see from Hally's linked in page, he is claiming to be Naval Secretary. See Linked-in. Unfortunately we cannot use that as a source. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 16:30, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
- You are correct. BlueD954 (talk) 03:17, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

To remove?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assistant_Chief_of_the_Naval_Staff#Director_Naval_Support_(DNS)
Matthew S Harrison is not a Royal Navy Officer but a civil servant working in Navy Command see, https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/872218/Navy_Mar_19_senior_data.csv/preview. Remove?
BlueD954 (talk) 11:40, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree. There are plenty of other civil servants we could include here but it would be inappropriate to include them. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 14:18, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
List of Hospitals
Hi, Yeah I would like to help and expand, I am guessing it is more a list of current hospitals rather than ones that have closed, as I did remove the 2 Bristol ones that are now closed, Bristol General and Frenchay. I have found a good source for bed numbers is CQC reports, which tend to list bed numbers by trusts and hospitals, so could add them as references. Mark999 (talk) 20:59, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi - Thanks for that. I confirm that this list is a list of current hospitals. I have been removing defunct ones as I go through the list. I have now removed the London tables in the list as I am convinced the bed numbers there were unreliable. Some Trusts do publish their total bed numbers but do not publish a breakdown and I find that the information in the CQC reports is inconsistent (sometimes they give bed numbers and sometimes they don't). I don't think this list is the right place to insert the bed numbers. It is probably best to focus on inserting reliably sourced bed numbers in the infoboxes of the articles on individual hospitals. Otherwise we are going to have a lot of gaps in the list. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 21:56, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- Fair enough, I am going to try something in my sandbox with South West hospitals and see what you think. Mark999 (talk) 17:06, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. I think we need to do it for England as a whole and, ideally, for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well. The key is obtaining properly sourced bed numbers by hospital and so far I have been unable to find them for the country as a whole. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 17:24, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Dene Barton Community Hospital
Just in case you care, I have proposed Dene Barton Community Hospital for deletion. As the only one of 12 community hospitals in Somerset to have its own article I don't see what is so special about this one. Either we have none, or we look to create the others. Thoughts? --2A00:23C6:FA04:0:14CA:6231:B479:FD4E (talk) 10:52, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
