30 June 2014: In a press conference, General Philip Breedlove (NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe) stated that the Russian government had been training pro-Russian separatists inside Russia to have an "anti-aircraft capability" and specifically mentioned “we have seen vehicle-borne capability being trained.”

Dresden/Dyson
Freeman Dyson, a British physicist who had worked with bomber command throughout WWII, wrote: "For many years I had intended to write a book on the bombing. Now I do not need to write it, because Vonnegut has written it much better than I could. He was in Dresden at the time and saw what happened. His book is not only good literature. It is also truthful. The only inaccuracy that I found in it is that it does not say that the night attack which produced the holocaust was a British affair. The Americans only came the following day to plow over the rubble. Vonnegut, being American, did not want to write his account in such a way that the whole thing could be blamed on the British. Apart from that, everything he says is true." He later goes on to say: "Since the beginning of the war I had been retreating step by step from one moral position to another, until at the end I had no moral position at all."

Ref Notes
It is not official policy that the reference cannot be simply duplicated with a different page number, see Help:References and page numbers, although Help:Citing sources does state, "When an article cites many different pages from the same source, to avoid the redundancy of many big, nearly identical full citations, most Wikipedia editors...".

There are a number of ways my preferred way is to add the "ref" parameter to the first citation of a work such as |ref= or |ref= inside the first citation template, then subsequent citations could be in the form of  or

A full explanation can be found at Help:References and page numbers and Help:Shortened footnotes.

As an example:

Fact one about subject. Then later in the article, fact two about subject. Further on in the article another two facts about subject in a single sentence. Getting fancy one could reference the way the article was identified on the cover of the magazine. Other editors prefer the "rp" template, fact from page eleven.

I am sure this is of little interest to most but I thought I'd provide the details for those interested as I am in having the tightest, clean ref section possible. Other editors prefer to add the "rp" template after the closing ref tag. - - MrBill3 (talk) 03:51, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

On Suffrage
"In Great Britain. the electorate consisted of approximately 'a quarter or perhaps even a third of the adult males.' According to one estimate, however, '30 percent of the English boroughs had less than 100 voters...and only one-eighth had a thousand or more.' The colonial electorate, by contrast, is estimated to have consisted of between 50 and 75 percent of the adult white, male population, although historical evidence suggest the actual range was higher because most legal restrictions against voting -- except those against free Negroes and Catholics -- were not strictly enforced in the American colonies."

On AmRevWar
Excerpt from British_Empire

During the 1760s and early 1770s, relations between the Thirteen Colonies and Britain became increasingly strained, primarily due to resentment of the British Parliament's attempts to govern and tax American colonists without their consent.[56] This was summarised at the time by the slogan "No taxation without representation", a perceived violation of the guaranteed Rights of Englishmen. The American Revolution began with rejection of Parliamentary authority and moves towards self-government. In response Britain sent troops to reimpose direct rule, leading to the outbreak of war in 1775. The following year, in 1776, the United States declared independence. The entry of France to the war in 1778 tipped the military balance in the Americans' favour and after a decisive defeat at Yorktown in 1781, Britain began negotiating peace terms. American independence was acknowledged at the Peace of Paris in 1783.[57]

Quite a while ago N0n3up was blocked for among other things questioning my good faith (i.e., I was Irish (?) or American or nationalistic or some such nonsense). Ever since (and in between times he has been blocked again for similar behavior) he has followed me around doing what I think you call wiki-hounding.
