Donald Henry Burns
I've added the "prod" template to the article Donald Henry 'Bob' Burns, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also What Wikipedia is not and Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Donald Henry 'Bob' Burns. If you remove the dated prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. I accept your case and so I will just propose to be deleted, this will depend of the consensus reached. --Francisco Valverde 17:48, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I think I will remove that, Francisco, though it seemed a little unethical to me to do so myself. I've been working on the article, and will continue to do so. At the moment, i'm searching the web for other references. Just located this one: http://agham.asti.dost.gov.ph/1998/5th/fun/peejay/body.htm. Okay. I'll try out the signature procedure...another first, for me.

Your edits to Supermarine Spitfire
The instructions and directions for where to ask questions if you don't understand how the template works are at the top of the list of specs. If the fields are left blank, they will simply not show up in the output. Deleting them creates extra work for users wanting to expand the specs. Furthermore, the WP:Air manual of style dictates only one set of specifications per page, for the most notable variant which was most definitely not the Mk.XII. Therefore, these specifications have been removed. - Emt147 Burninate!  00:10, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Bermuda Sea Cadet Corps
Excellent :) I added Template:Naval cadets to it and added in the Bermuda link and flag.  Easy template to edit.  if you add any more Naval Cadet Organisations please add the template (and edit it to include them).  It adds to the Category:Naval Cadet Organisations automatically Fiddle Faddle 21:30, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Aye, Aye
Right you are. I won't be adding any more Naval Cadet Organisations, though I'll be adding an army cadet one (Bermuda Cadet Corps).

Your edits to Bermuda
Hi, please see my discussion notes, under the header "Black Bermudians" so that we can discuss the passage on demographics. In short, I think a passage in there should be referenced before we can put it into the article. --D&#39;Olivier 12:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Hallo. What do you think needs to be referenced, what type of reference would you accept, and to what end do you think it needs to be referenced, and how would the reference achieve that end?

Fair use rationale for Image:Royal Artillery Cap Badge.jpg

Fact tagging
Kindly cease removing fact tags without actually providing support to the associated statement. Note I'm also going to remove the padding you've added to the SAS intro, it can go in later in the article, the intro is not the place.ALR 18:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Did you put it in later in the article, or did you just remove it. It doesn't need a fact tag. Any book on special forces, or on the SAS specifically, will say the same.


 * I've removed it, please look at the section further down the article and make your changes, they didn't suit a wholesale cut and paste. The point requires substantiation from a reliable source, at present it is merely opinion, and that applies to many of the books on the Regiment as well.ALR 18:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

What would a reliable source be, then? If you mean an official government statement, that's not likely to exist. That the SAS has been the model for other forces certainly is part of historical record....the information you refer to further down the page aptly illustrates that. It's quality may be a subjective statement, but it's role modelling certainly isn't.

Bermuda Airport
I just wanted to thank you for your additions to Bermuda International Airport. They really enhance the page and it's good to finally have some more information on this airport. I made a couple grammar edits to it, but excuse me if I am in the wrong. I also removed the stub templates because they are not needed now. Thanks. NcSchu 20:50, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Bermuda Airport
You're very welcome. I'd put in pages on the airfield's previous lives as US Army/USAAF, USAF, USN bases, and on the other air stations in Bermuda, and eventually got round to adding to this one. I've trillions of pics as I was an airport policeman there, and I'll get around to tacking more in, perhaps. Aodhdubh 20:56, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

What is your source for Sea Venture construction info?
I really enjoyed your additions to the Sea Venture entry. May I ask your exact source of the information on the ship's probable construction in Aldeburgh in 1608 for £1,500? I am doing a research project on the Sea Venture and have never come across that information and would very much like to know the source. I see you list P. M. Wright's Sea Venture Story as a reference. Is that the source? I have never seen that book (just one library has it in the U.S.). Thanks very much. Seastories 10:12, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

source
Hallo. Feel free to write me at my e-mail.

Source is almoste certainly that pamphmlet, though I'll have to check. I've had a lot on my plate since writing that, but it's the only publication I remember checking. I have my own copy, and I'll happily scan it and email it to you (it's small). A late friend of mine wrote a biography on Sir George Somers that you may also find useful, though I'm not sure if it's still in print (Sir George Somers, a Man and His Time, by David F. Raine, Pompano publications). I have a copy, but it's too large to scan and e-mail, I think. I can point you in the right direction to finding a copy, though...

Source for this image?
Image:Bermuda_sloop_race.jpg could you please add what source you scanned to create this digital image? It looks like it was scanned from a book. Also, what does "(E M Gosling)" mean? Thanks - Davandron | Talk 14:09, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Source
The image was indeed scanned from an out-of-print book, "Sailing In Bermuda: Sail Racing in the Nineteenth Century", by J.C. Arnell. It covers the development of sail racing in Bermuda in the 19th Century (which involved racing working sloops on the weekends), and which gave rise to the development of scaled down, dedicated racers known as Bermuda Fitted dinghies. The author of the book collected photographs from many sources, which he credited. E M Gosling was either the original 19th Century photographer, or provided the print used in the book. That wasn't made clear in the book, though the latter is more likely.

Is Classic Boat article used with permission?
Can you link to the text on the sloop foundation where it says this article is used with permission? It looks great, just want to make sure its not a copyright problem. Thanks - Davandron | Talk 05:48, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Where it is used here with permission, or where it is used there with permission? I'll have a look, but I'm busy writing a Bermuda Fitted Dinghy article, just at the moment....
 * Erm?

Aodhdubh 06:39, 17 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, sorry... :^)   I see the link now on the front page of the bermuda sloop website, so I assume its with permission. - Davandron | Talk 14:55, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

No worries. I assumed so, also.

puzzled...
Hi Aodhdub, I've seen the interesting Image:Bermudian sloop-of-war Flying Fish.jpg that you've uploaded. I'd like to use it in an article, but I'm pretty confused by the caption. You seem to be calling it both a Bermudian sloop and a Baltimore clipper. Could you clarify? And possibly also with respect to the Navy history? Thanks a lot, Ibn Battuta 03:33, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Quick reply
Hallo...sure, but I must be brief, at the moment. The Navy began buying up Bermudian sloops from trade (note the Sting, which became HMS Pickle), as well as having some built to its requirements by Bermudian builders. As it was making a lot of effort at introducing standardised designs as classess, the Flying Fish design resulted partly from the desire for a commonality in these small ships. There was a lot of undeserved displeasure in the Navy with many of the Bermuda sloops due to their small size and lack of armament, and some scathing reports. These were unjustified as most were never intended to be fighting vessels, merely communications vessels, relying on their speed and maneouvrability both to quickly deliver communications, and to evade enemy vessels. In fact, the first three built for the navy (Hunder, Dash, and Driver) were built as fighting vessels, and were larger and better armed than vessels like the Pickle and the Whiting. There was some complaint that some of the shortcomings of later Bermudian-built vessels oredered by the navy were due to the Navy's attempts to design its own Bermuda sloop and have the Bermudian builders build it. It was suggested that, in future, the Navy out to simply issue specifications and allow Bermudian builders to create their own designs. Partly due to the misplaced dissatisfaction in some quarters with Bermudian designs, and partly as a result of the success of American privateers, it was decided to copy a captured Baltimore schooner which had had some success, the Flying Fish (the design of the American vessels had been strongly influenced by Bermudian traditions and boat builders in the preceding century, but were generally optimised for shallower, coastal waters) and the drawings made up from this vessel were issued to builders in both Bermuda and England. That's me writing from the top of my head, but I'll do a bit of reading up and amend/expand this later.

Aodhdubh 05:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Aodhdubh, thanks for your reply. That's really interesting! As for Flying Fish, I understand it was influenced by Bermudian sloops, but was not actually one itself; the boats built after its specifications, however, were built by Bermudian builders, so one might argue that they were, hm, at least "closer" to being Bermudian sloops? ... If you should be writing more on this topic at some point, I'd love to read it! --Ibn Battuta 19:43, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


 * PS: As I'm about to upload the Flying Fish image to the Commons, would you think that changing the original title (containing the words "Bermudian sloop-of-war") to Flying_Fish_Baltimore clipper.jpg would be accurate? Likewise I've thought about changing the caption slightly (to spare you more user questions like mine :o)): Would that be okay?
 * ''Architectural drawing of the Flying Fish, a ship used by the Royal Navy.


 * Bermuda sloops were used by the navy in combatting French privateers, and as advice vessels, carrying communications and important materials. Inspired by the success of American privateers, however, the Admiralty used the Baltimore clipper Flying Fish as the model for a class of sloops, placing orders with boat builders in Bermuda and Britain. Although the American schooner's developments had been influenced by Bermudian vessels and builders, they were intended as coastal vessels, and were shallower drafted than comparably sized Bermudian designs (which were intended for the open ocean). - - - Thanks in advance, Ibn Battuta 20:20, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hallo Ibn...sure. I originally uploaded the image as part of the article on Bermuda sloops, but had second thoughts, myself, on its Bermudian-ness, so removed it from that article. If you're interested in the subject, try getting your hands on "The Andrew and the Onions", by Ian Strannack. Just make sure its a later, Bermuda Maritime Museum Press, edition....(I gave mine to the Imperial War Museum, but its now out of print, and the earlier, paperback edition, which I still have, leaves much to be desired).

 * Thanks again! I've uploaded the image to Commons accordingly... --Ibn Battuta 14:17, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Gust
Hi, there is a problem with your edits to gust and gust Corporation. It sounds good to make a disambiguation on gust and create Gust Corporation but it's not the appropriate way to move pages. As you can see, the history of gust incorporation has been lost, which is bad. In order to fix the problem, I've asked the assistance of an administrator. -- Cenarium (talk) 01:21, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Reply
Hallo...I wasn't happy with the relocation, either. It left the page Gust required for a redirect, and so unable to be used for a page on the literal definition of 'gust' - hence 'gusts'.

Your edits to Virginia
Hi Aodhdubh,

Regarding your edits to the Virginia article: I understand that for a period of time in the seventeenth century the colonies were understood together, however, I strongly doubt the relevancy of that information's repeated inclusion in prominent places in the article. In the lead, the summary of the article, you added: "the second permanent English colony in the New World, Bermuda, was settled as a part of Virginia". While this may be true, I don't think it belongs in the article on the U.S. state of Virginia, let alone in the lead. A note is already included in the History section referencing Bermuda as part of the original definition of the geographic term Virginia. It is not, however, currently considered in the same way, and I will remove the statements about "Bermuda's inclusion within the boundaries of Virginia" to eliminate confusion and off-topic phrases. I strongly feel that this information takes away from the article, rather than adding to it, and would be better included in the History of Virginia article and the Bermuda article. I will leave the note about the Sea Venture in the colony subsection. If you want to discuss, this, let's do so on my talk page or the Talk:Virginia page.--Patrick Ѻ 21:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Reply to "YOUR Mistaken Objection" and "Further to Above"
Before I start, I'd just like to make a point that this is Wikipedia and not a place to accuse. As collaborators on the Wikipedia project, it is necessary to create an encouraging environment rather than a garrulous one you are attempting to create. Please do not use such brash language in the future. Thank you.

And now, to the issue of the Bermuda Coin images. You have licensed the images Bermuda Crown 1964.jpg under the Creative Commons and GNU licenses. Using these licenses mean that you have created the images yourself....completely and entirely. You created the image -yes, but not the coin. The image that you have uploaded depicts a coin which was copyrighted by a foreign nation. With the Creative Commons and GNU licenses, you are claiming that the coin of the foriegn nation was created by you and you now intend to share this 'work' in the public domain. Such constitues as a copyright infrigement and therefore your image is deleteable by (db-i9). Please read the page, Non-free content, at the image section, to get a better idea of what this really means.

Rather than license your image under Creative Commons and GNU licenses, you should be licensing your image under the template {Non-free currency} and provide the appropriate fair use rationale. An example of the rationale used for foriegn currencies is seen in the page. If you can fix the licensing and add fair use rationale, I will remove the deletion templates. Thank you.Fastily (talk) 06:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Reply to the Above
Well, thank you, and you might have written what have now, regarding copyright of the coins, rather than the image of the coin, the first time...what I read in your initial objection was an accusation by you that I had plagiarised the image, or the text verbatim (wasn't clear which was intended), from a printed source, or another website. If that is not, or no longer, your objection, but that the coin itself is a copyright, and that any photograph of it is therefore violating said copyright (are you certain? That seems a bit wide-sweeping a definition...but I'll follow up on the links you posted), then that seems a more reasonable objection, and less like an attack on my character. If you read my reply to your objection as an attack on your own person, or your character, it was certainly not meant that way, and you'll have my apologies for words that could have perhaps been chosen more carefully.

 * Unfortunately, is an image of an original, hand-coloured newspaper cutting, which I left in a frame, on my mother's wall, when I moved out of Bermuda several years ago. i don't think I've a much better copy on my hard-drive, and a better scan will have to wait for my next trip to Bermuda (not any time soon, alas). Keep in touch, though, and I'll see what I can do. Perhaps my brother can re-scan it. Aodhdubh (talk) 23:01, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Hallo Seán. I have uploaded a better version. The original was too large for a single scan so I have had to recompose it. I will doubtless return with a third and better scan, but for now, please visit the original image and click the link "Full resolution" ‎(2,940 × 657 pixels, file size: 513 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg).

St. Peter's Church
Hi, I'm very impressed with the number of articles and especially the fine photo's you've taken. I see you wrote the St. Peter's Church, St. George's article, and the article states that it's "the oldest surviving Anglican church in continuous use outside the British Isles". I also spotted taken in 2006 and uploaded in 2007, that it's the "oldest surviving Anglican (before 1978, Church of England) church outside the British Isles". Where did you get this info? The plaque outside the church says "Western Hemisphere". Thanks for any help or light you can shed on this. --HighKing (talk) 21:33, 28 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Hallo. That information is well known in \bermuda, and available from a variety of local publications. Scouring it from exo-Bermudian sources is more difficult. If you go to the Anglican Communion of Bermuda's web page for St. Peter's Church (http://www.anglican.bm/j3r.html), and click history, at least a little information is found there.

Arthur Spurling
A very nice expansion of the stub, indeed. It not only tells Spurling's story, but gives unexpected insight into Bermuda's participation in World War I.

Are you going to add some more cites? The assessors will expect more.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Air Observation Post, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Airborne Observation Post.

If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

Looking to source an image you used
Hi,

I am looking to use this image - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bermuda_Regiment_IS_Training.jpg for a documentary on National Geographic. I was wondering if you could pass any details on to me by email or if you could sign a release form for world wide rights.

Bermuda/British Empire
Hi Aodhdubh. I appreciate (looking at your user page) that the subject of Bermuda is probably one close to your heart, but please bear in mind that the British Empire article is an overview of 400 years of history across seven continents. In such a summary article, it's impossible to give each former colony, not to mention each current BOT, the space it deserves, but that's OK because we have hyperlinks to more in depth articles. In this case, the reader can click on Bermuda to find out that it was AKA Somers Isle, and from there they can navigate to, e.g. History of Bermuda or St. George's, Bermuda.

Thank You for the Wikipedia Picture
Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware picture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:International_One_Design_-_Hamilton_Harbour_-_Bermuda.jpg and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bermuda-Harbour_and_Town_of_St_George.jpg). I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:

http://www.freeenglishsite.com/

I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm

2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm

3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm Slang Dictionary link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm

Prior to retirement, I taught English at several private and public universities in the United States.

Please share this free site with your friends. I hope all will enjoy the pictures and find the English information useful. Sincerely, Duane Hurst in Utah, USA

Bermuda island photographs
I have been admiring your photography, and occasionally I move pictures to from en: to Commons (I only really pop over to Wikipedia to scout for pictures for Commons and things of specific interest).

There are very few picture (as far as I can see) of Bermuda's multitudinous little islands, which is a pity as there is nothing better to liven an article up. It may be that people in Bermuda have realized how valuable pictures of the islands are and are loathe to donate them to a free picture library!

Another growing project, which takes its pictures from Commons, has as yet just a few islands listed (here, and I am not sure that its "Greek Letter Islands" might not be a made-up name). If there were a source for pictures, or someone with a boat and a camera and a generous frame of mind, then this could be built up.

 * I have many photographs of smaller islands in Bermuda. Actually, my brother is the proprietor of a boating company, which I work for when Aodhdubh (talk) 00:08, 1 December 2014 (UTC) at home, and that has certainly made it easier taking photographs from the water. You might want to look at a map of Bermuda and let me know which islands you'd like photographs of, then I'll see what I have of them.


 * I just looked at that link. Be aware that many, probably most, islands in Bermuda have more than one name. I probably have photographs of varying quality of most of the islands between the Great Sound and Hamilton Harbour. I'll try to upload some tonight. Aodhdubh (talk) 00:11, 1 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'll look forward to that and see how they can brighten an article or two.  I love the idea that even in a small territory you can't agree on the names of the islands. Why should there be drab conformity?  Next time someone argues about whether to use the Welsh-language name or the English-language name for a river or mountain, I will appeal to the Bermudian solution. Hogweard (talk) 13:21, 2 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Apologies. I have none of the Greek Letter Islands, it seems, except perhaps as distant specks in the background. I have a great many of those East of Hawkins'. Aodhdubh (talk) 13:12, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

National varieties of English
In a recent edit to the page Soccer in Canada, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:31, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Bermuda into History of Bermuda.

File:House on Foot of The Lane in Bermuda.jpg needs authorship information
Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:House on Foot of The Lane in Bermuda.jpg appears to be missing information as to one (or more) of the following :
 * 1) The author or creators of the work, (including information as to the author's lifespan).
 * 2) Where and how this particular version was obtained.
 * 3) When the work was created,

If you did provide such information, it is currently confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).


 * If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: will produce an appropriate expansion, or use the own template.

Please also add authorship and sourcing to other files you created or uplopaded. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log].

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 14:08, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm MarkH21. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Bermuda, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — MarkH21talk 02:11, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Aodhdubh! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Bermuda that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia — it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information.

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Plagiarism, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. Moxy 🍁 15:14, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

TVH reply to contribution removal
Hey. I noticed Patrickneil, at the edit 986906322, undid your edit adding the reference to “Virgineola” explaining, “is this aside relevant to Virginia history? is it sourced?" - - first of all, just as a matter of orientation for verification online alone, I cannot see the page referenced linked to the Vollmann source past pp.695, but the cited page is a sort of glossary, and 'Virgineola' may well be located just out of my browser snippet view nested in the 'Virginia' description.
 * I wanted to discus my reply to Patrickneil with you first : side-bar: “Virgineola” redirects to Bermuda, but it might better be redirected to History of Bermuda. While that wikipedia-editing would be a new learning experience for me, if you are agreed, I'd be interested in learning how to do it with you.
 * 1. The obvious "relevance to Virginia history" is that widower John Rolfe proceeds from Bermuda to Jamestown and tobacco ...
 * - I think the information inside a parentheses should be reduced to an article Note, using the following:  , or a different confirmed reference as required. Because this is commonly held information, a topic search in Hathi Trust could easily find an alternative citation.
 * I suggest that the information is also relevant at Virginia colony . The Virgineola name is given by the Virginia Company at about the same time their initial settlement is made in New England, as noted in the contribution.
 * 2. When George Washington stopped growing tobacco to become financially independent from the London tobacco factors, he traded his wheat to Bermuda. The wheat was grown by enslaved farm managers who dealt directly with the Bermuda merchants. --- In his will, Washington granted land for self-sufficient family farms to his freedmen just west of Mount Vernon. The land is still held by their descendants in a single-family home development nearby Mount Vernon; several rebuilt or expanded with GI loans a generation ago.
 * - And by the way, while I am here, thank you for your service. With regards, TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 01:35, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

February 2021
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to United States Fleet Forces Command, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. - wolf  13:22, 21 February 2021 (UTC)


 * btw- this is not a revert, it is just being obnoxious. We get it, you don't like being reverted, but source your edits from now on and it shouldn't be a problem. - wolf  23:48, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Your talk page
As your page is now 161+Kb, with 155 entries, going back 15 years, you may want to start archiving some of it's content. FYI - wolf  13:25, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Again
You've been on WP for 15 years with almost 10,000 edits, surely you know by now that you can't add unsourced content. And once it has been removed, you certainly can't add it again, along with the demand that others "look it up". Per WP:VERIFYOR, the obligation is on you to properly source any content you add, when you add it. Additionally, you added the exact same unsourced paragraph to HMS Castle Harbour, and also made unsourced additions to Northeast Air Command and Convoy HX 84, all after this notification. These diffs are just from today, I hope that this isn't indicative of your previous edits. You need to properly source any content you add, as you add it. Wikipedia's reputation relies on properly sourced content, and the project relies on its experienced editors to help maintain that policy, or else it becomes nothing more than a blog, of little value. - wolf  19:11, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi - I was going to say the same thing. Please, please add the citations as you go along. Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 19:32, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Battle of the Atlantic
Your recent edits to Battle of the Atlantic are heavily biased toward coverage of Bermuda. This unbalances the whole article. See WP:PROPORTION. If you want some ideas on how to implement that, the amount of coverage of Bermuda in the article should be roughly the same as in the generalist sources on the subject. Just to give you a clue on that, The War for the Seas, by Evan Mawdsley (covers all of WW2 at sea) mentions Bermuda only twice, and then only very briefly. The book does, however, have substantial coverage of the Battle of the Atlantic; also The Battle of the Atlantic by Marc Milner also happens to mention Bermuda just twice, and in each case simply to give a relative position in the Atlantic.

You are going to be very upset when all your Bermuda-centric text gets deleted, so I respectfully suggest you stop adding to it. If you feel a need to write this stuff, how about starting an article on Bermuda in World War II - as I have already suggested on the article talk page. ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 13:24, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I have added a lot about Bermuda (though I've only touched on a number of points, while neglecting to mention others). It tends to be overlooked by many historians as no shots were fired there, but its importance to the Battle of the Atlantic and the war more generally, was out of all proportion to its size. I'll tone it down a bit when I get a moment, unless someone else cares to do that beforehand. I'll give thought to the Bermuda in World War II suggestion, although that is a broader subject and would be a substantial undertaking which I'm too hard-pressed to do at the moment. I've only just finished adding the references to what I've written today....or rather, yesterday, now. If you see anything I've missed a reference for, let me know (but I do not check this talk page every day, so may take a while to respond).Aodhdubh (talk) 04:31, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Just a suggestion but, you could start the Bermuda in WWII article in your User:Aodhdubh/sandbox. Every user has a sandbox, it's one of your user pages. You could, for example, take all that content from Battle of the Atlantic, and any other Bermudian military history content from other pages, and place it all on that page. It's yours. No one else will touch it. It doesn't show up in searches, so readers won't find it. You can work on whatever you want, including building that article, and you can do it at your own pace, with no interference. Take as long as you like and whenever you feel your article is ready, you just move it. You should check it out. There is a template there with more information. (just my 0.02¢) - wolf  05:16, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * You have probably noticed that all your edits on Battle of the Atlantic have now been reverted by another user (who, I believe, is an administrator). I am just checking that you know you can go to the edit history of the article and open any old versions of it so that you can copy any material that you want to your sandbox. That way you can use that material elsewhere, if appropriate. Be careful that you do not accidentally save the old version of the page, as that would have the effect of reverting the big revert and risks putting you in an edit war with an administrator.

Disruptive editing notice
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at HMS Castle Harbour. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. - wolf  13:43, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
 * I created HMS Castle Harbour, so can hardly be disruptively editing it. What edit precisely are you referring to? Aodhdubh (talk) 18:37, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The fact that you created the article is irrelevant and per WP:OWN, gives you no special rights. You are still subject to the same policies & guidelines as everyone else on that, and any other pages you may have created, or any content you have contributed. This and this had already been removed once, in just the past 24 hrs, yet you re-added both. Just because you didn't do it by way of revert, does not mean it's not tendentious, and no different than your edit-warring at United States Fleet Forces Command. In both my edit summaries I encouraged you to go to the talk page, as I've done numerous times now, yet you refuse to discuss disputed content. And after all this, you finally post a comment, and it's to ask a question about a warning template? A question I suspect you already knew the answer to. Look, I know you do a lot of reading, so you're not a dumb person, and I noticed you mentioned you were a police officer, so you know about following the rules and keeping things orderly - the opposite of disruption. So let's not waste each other's time, ok? How about you take up TIR's suggestion, and take all that content you dumped into Battle of the Atlantic, and use it to create Bermuda during WWII? (and use my ref suggest below while you're at it), and I'll go back to my watchlist... and we'll call it a day. - wolf  20:37, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Added note
You're editing is becoming tendentious. This applies to multiple articles. You have repeatedly edit warred over disputed content and so far have refused to engage in any discussion - anywhere. Other editors have now taken notice of your behavior and have brought it to the attention of the community. You can consider this post as part of the process to file a complaint against you, seeking sanctions which may include topic bans or a block, if you continue with your disruptive editing and refusal to engage. - wolf  13:45, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Refs
I'm sure by now you've seen all the refs that I've filled in on HMS Castle Harbour, after you added them. If you are going to continue adding refs (and we hope you do), you should fill them in per WP:CITE. The way you've been adding them is no longer used, per WP:CS:EMBED (and in some cases no longer permitted, per WP:ELPOINTS). You are creating unneeded work for other editors and making it more difficult for readers to source content. - wolf  14:25, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

HMS Castle Harbour
In response to your recent edits to that page, I have started a discussion, addressed to you, on the article's talk page at Talk:HMS Castle Harbour. As some of the content you've added is now in dispute, is it expected that you will join the discussion and discuss this content. All Wikipedia users are expected to engage, using the talk pages. (There have been editors at ANI blocked for refusing to talk.) I've also noted that you have left lengthy summaries with some of these edits (eg: & ), instead you should be using the talk page, so you can dialog, instead of posting a monolog. Please join in. Thank you - wolf  07:51, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

United States Fleet Forces Command
I've just come across your edit. It's a remarkable borderline interpretation of WP:CIVIL and WP:REFERENCES, but it's also really quite confused about what you might mean by "command of the Atlantic," which, no doubt in this case might be expected to mean naval, Navy, vessels, since this is an article about the U.S. Atlantic Fleet.

I've step-by-step stripped out about four references which have nothing whatsoever to do with the paragraph of claims; what remains is a link to a U.S. official war history, which talks about merchant ship control zones, which yes eventually ended up being divided up between Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet; United States Tenth Fleet, directly under Admiral King himself, and Commander-in-Chief, Western Approaches, in Liverpool.

But again, this is an article about fleet, warship, naval, forces, and nothing in u:Aodhdubh's references says anything about Royal Navy vessels or commands being placed under U.S. command. This is the first time I've ever heard that SBNO Western Atlantic might have been placed under CINCLANTFLT.

I would really invite u:Aodhdubh to carefully reconsider his claims, and if they're true, reference them. I would also like to remind you that references should be added when the claim is added, in accordance with WP:BURDEN. cc. Buckshot06 (talk) 15:49, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Copyright issues
Hello Aodhdubh! Your additions to Bermudian Militia, Volunteer and Territorial Units of the British Army, 1894-1965 have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Modussiccandi (talk) 09:52, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind, but I have changed the text you introduced into our article about British Overseas Territories citizens on 29 July 2021.

Footquotes
Dear Aodhdubh. You seem to like to enrich your citations with footquotes (e.g. "your" article Imperial fortress). Sometimes users then come along and delete them as needless (e.g. "excessive and unnecessary quotation within the citations" in "your" article John Mitchel). The same happens to me. However WP:FOOTQUOTE says:

"A footnote may also contain a relevant exact quotation from the source. This is especially helpful when the cited text is long or dense. A quotation allows readers to immediately identify the applicable portion of the reference. Quotes are also useful if the source is not easily accessible."

What can we do to defend ourselves? Best regards, Johannes Schade (talk) 09:50, 8 September 2021 (UTC)


 * if you don't get a response here, I would suggest you repost your question to the WikiProject: Military History discussion page. In fact, you should probably post it there now anyway. (imho) -  wolf  00:41, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Not four apostrophes
You seem to have created a series of Royal Yacht Club stubs like Royal British Virgin Islands Yacht Club using 4 quotes around the club name in the title.

Apparently outdated text in English Civil War / English overseas possessions.
Greetings. I've run across some confusing text in the article English Civil War. Doing a little research, it appears you added the section back in May 2016. I've also noticed that you've recently been working on English overseas possessions in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, which is much more extensive and better written. Figuring that the first article was a much earlier effort of yours, and that you've done a lot more research since then, I thought I'd give you a heads up on your talk page rather than publicly tagging the older article. I thought giving you a heads up and inviting you to update the earlier article would be more productive than just tagging the article or trying to straighten it out myself.

The point in question is this: "The Parliament began assembling a fleet to invade the Royalist colonies, but many of the English islands in the Caribbean were captured by the Dutch and French in 1651 during the Second Anglo-Dutch War." The first thing to catch my attention was the fact that the second A-D war was in 1665, over a decade after the fact. There was a first A-D war in 1652-1654, but that appears to have been mainly fought in the English Channel, not in the West Indies. In English overseas possessions in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, it is stated: "Over the next month Barbados was blockaded. Dutch ships were seized, an act which would be one of the causes of the First Anglo-Dutch War." That makes a lot more sense.

I am far from a subject matter expert in the West Indies, my interest is more in the Maritimes. I came across the older article seeking some background info to help set my project in proper context. The newer (3 Kingdoms) article, in the section Northern Colonies is of particular interest, especially the 4th paragraph, about the diversion of the New England forces from the first A-D war to the second seizure of Nova Scotia. That was exactly the kind of context I was looking for. While I realize that wasn't your contribution, I am most grateful for that observation, it's very helpful.

At any rate, I'd like to invite you to take another look at the older article, and see if you can provide a better written summary. Besides the obvious factual problem, the older article also cites no references in that section. I hope you can find the time to give us a concise update in the older, broader article. I'm sure your work in the past five years has given you a better understanding of the period and you can provide a better summary now. Thanks! 2001:558:6017:107:D5B4:958E:C45E:CAE4 (talk) 09:43, 28 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I see you've been active, but haven't responded or edited the article in question. I've gone ahead and tagged it for the time being, and hope you can find time to address it later. 2001:558:6017:107:D5B4:958E:C45E:CAE4 (talk) 20:39, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Communication+
I noticed today you were actively editing articles, but you still haven't edited any talk pages since last February, and even then, haven't responded to a talk page post since early January. You haven't responded to any of the numerous posts here on your own talk page since February of last year. There have been 55 separate threads posted here since, and while many of them may not require a reply, some of them do. There are issues with edits you've made, and articles you've created, (examples of both can be found at Bermudians in the Canadian Expeditionary Force). When editors take the time and effort to discuss these issues with you, it is expected that you'll respond, (see WP:Communication is required). Please take the time to go through the threads here that you have not yet replied to, and check any pings you've received to other talk pages, but have not replied to, and do those editors the courtesy of giving them a reply. I would also strongly suggest you review all the articles you've created for possible issues, such as notification templates for sourcing, layout, writing style, etc., and make improvements where needed.

On another note, while I'm here, I will take a moment to again mention that your talk page is continuing to bloat and is now at 214 sections and ≈230Kb. Pages that size can cause issues for your fellow users. I have previously suggested going to H:ARC, but if it will make it easier, just go to: User talk:Aodhdubh/Archive 1, add an   template at the top, then start moving content from this page to that one, until you reach, say... 100Kb. Then move on to User talk:Aodhdubh/Archive 2, and lather, rinse, repeat. As soon as you save the first archive page, an index will automatically appear at the top of this page, (easy-peasy, right?) Have a nice day - w o lf  23:40, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

August 2022
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Google Maps, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. ''I am troubled that you added a section onto Google Maps without any sources and written as purely original research. This needs to be avoided in the future.'' – The Grid  ( talk )  16:36, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Communication... again
Two months ago, this past June, I posted a comment (just above at ) regarding your ongoing refusal to enagage with other editors here on Wikipedia. Since that post, you have made 147 edits, yet only one of those was to a talk page (this edit regarding a page move at Bermuda skink, where you replied to your own post and were the only editor to take part in that discussion.) I will again ask that you make an effort to engage more with other editors on the project's various talk pages (article, user, wikiproject, etc). Thank you. - w o lf  19:37, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Question
What was the point of this edit summary: "replace persons removed by Thewolfchild". You know full well that content needs to be supported by reliable sourcing, which you failed to do in the first place. That unsourced content was removed only after numerous warnings and attempts to enagage with you, during which you continuously refused to respond or source the content you added in the first place. Then only after I cleaned up that article, do you finally react, but only to source a partial amount of the content, and then add that comment as if you were fixing some sort of problem I caused. When others clean up your messes, don't attack them for it. It looks foolish. - w o lf  18:01, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Royal Navy
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Royal Navy, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 18:49, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the Bermuda-related info that you're adding to my ship articles, but they need to be sourced lest they get deleted. An example would be the cricket match referenced in the HMS Carnarvon article. A nice little tidbit, but not in the only source given for that paragraph.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 11:10, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Bermudians in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. '' Note: I reverted your edits to the same article just yesterday as they were unsourced. While I noted that in the summary, I didn't post a notice here as I was hoping that by now it would not be necessary. But looking at the unsourced content you again added today to that same article, I see I should've posted something. There's other avenues regarding your editing that I haven't addressed, but I'm starting to thing that I should, starting with your general lack of engagement on talk pages. You should know that communication is required. - w o lf  06:21, 14 October 2023 (UTC)'' -  w o lf  06:21, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Disruptive editing on British warship articles
You continue to add very larch chunks of completely undue text to article on RN cruisers, based on newspaper articles that were written before the ships were built, and on a mysterious and unverifiable "H.M.S. EXETER 1936-1939". You also continue to include massive quotations to citations, which are probably copyvio, and have been discussed in the WP:MILHISTORY link above. Please stop doing this and use sources correctly.Nigel Ish (talk) 20:42, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

HMS Exeter - concerns
I've raised concerns at Talk:HMS Exeter (68) about your recent additions to the article - including whether recent additions are undue, and whether the use of large quotes in references are appropriate. Your comments are welcome.Nigel Ish (talk) 17:12, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

November 2023
When adding ship names to articles, (even in image captions), can you please add italics to them? As you can see here, it can create a lot of work for others when this is not done. Also, I'm sure I've mentioned this before (a few times), but just the same, your talk page is now 250kb+ in size, it really is time to start archiving. You can just say "I give permission for my talk page to be archived", and I, or someone else can do it. It's really quite simple, it can be set up in less than a minute. It could even be set up to auto-archive, so you would never have to deal with it going forward. - w o lf  07:27, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, have you read this, or any of the commwnts posted on this page, and do you intend to respond to any of them? (Especially the comment just above, about archiving? There is actually an offer to assist you with archiving this page, the least you can don, out of respect, is acknowledge that.) But more so, in regards to all the comments and concerns posted here, you should know that Communication is Not an Option (as you've already been advised above). So it would be advisable to start replying some of the posts here. Should someone take you to ANI seeking to block you, this reticence on your part will not look good.

Continued potential copyvio overquoting
You continue to add huge quotations to citations for Royal Navy ships (and now Fleet Air Arm squadrons) which are almost certainly copyvio and add nothing to the article. Stop doing this. The discussions linked to above Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history/Archive_170 and Talk:HMS_Exeter_(68) both agree that these quotes are undue and represent potential copyvios.
