Welcome!
Hi there, I noticed you made some edits to the above article, which I am currently slowly grooming in order to hopefully turn it into an FA. I was impressed with the changes you made and was wondering if you would consider copyediting the article? I realise it is a big task, but I have in the past been criticised for my prose style and I am looking for people to run over the article and smooth it out. If you would be willing to do this it would be much appreciated, but I fully understand if it is not possible. Either way, thankyou for your attention to the article and I hope to see you around.--Jackyd101 (talk) 10:35, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
War of the Grand Alliance - Nine Years' WarHello Rebel Redcoat! I see that you redirected War of the Grand Alliance to Nine Years' War. Such a big change should be discussed previously in the talk pages! I personally have no opinion - I reverted you for thecnical reason: with your redirect one looses the edit history of the article, thus this must be done with a proper move page. Since this can not be done with a simple page move because the new name already exist and is itself a redirect to the original page, you may have to ask for the help of an administrator, since they have "special move powers" that can bypass the problem. Thank you! The Ogre (talk) 21:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

I still think there's more to be done, but hopefully I'll clean it up more over the next month. Coemgenus 19:25, 25 April 2008 (UTC) What can I do for you by way of sourcing?

I have performed a web search with the contents of Truce of Ratisbon, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Treaty of Ratisbon. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Siege of NamurI've just translated Siege of Namur (1695) from the French, but it isn't very good or well (read: at all) cited right now. Given that you did such a good job of Siege of Namur (1692), I thought you might like to take a look and see if you could make any improvements or correct any errors or omissions.

Battle of Balaklava MapsYour Battle of Balaklava rewrite is excellent. I'm particularly impressed with the maps you created. Can you tell me how you made those maps? I would like to create similar maps for my battle articles. Thanks.Kenmore (talk) 04:24, 6 January 2010 (UTC) Hello. I'm Russian so sorry about language. Your map №1 says that Fedioukine Heights were occupied by Skyderi's forces. But those heights were occupied by forses under Joseph Zhabokritsky, it is sayed in many articles including from Wikipedia. Skyderi led Odessa regiment on the redoubts. Can you correct your mistake?--78.37.211.175 (talk) 15:55, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
Alright. Your maps are very good anyway. I was surpriced when I saw that those maps you made yourself. Good job.--95.55.153.22 (talk) 18:27, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Balaklava, Crimean War, etc.I added some more comments today to the Balaklava discussion, specifically concerning Russian intentions in the battle. Other edits I made to Crimean War articles pertain to Inkerman and Eupatoria. Originally, the Inkerman article said the Russians lost 100 cannon to an Allied counterattack: 75% of all Russian artillery. I eliminated this statement after doing some research. 100 cannon lost is an astounding number; it would have rendered the Allied victory at Inkerman decisive. I don't know where the information about 100 guns lost originated. As for Eupatoria, I eliminated the sentence stating that the Russian retreat degenerated into a rout, pursued by Allied forces. I have never seen that detail written in any source before. My understanding is that the Russian attack was aborted due to heavy loss caused by the Allied naval guns; the retreat was orderly. Interesting also will be how the eventual article about the 1854 Danube campaign, specifically the small scale Turkish victories along the river, and the Russian retreat from Silistria. The truth regarding these battles is often mistakenly portrayed in Western (i.e., non-Russian literature).Kenmore (talk) 05:44, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
