Orphaned non-free media (Image:TXSenateSeal.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:TXSenateSeal.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:01, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of USS General W. C. Langfitt (AP-151)
A tag has been placed on USS General W. C. Langfitt (AP-151) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. :-)  Stwalkerster  talk 23:42, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Ship article cleanup
Hello! Over the past few days I've noticed some great cleanup you've been doing on ship articles. Thanks! I do have one comment. In this edit, you changed the date in the USN flag template from 1953 to 1942. WP:SHIPS's guideline is to display the last flag the ship flew, so we use the date that the ship was decommissioned. In this case it doesn't matter because the flag was the same in both years, but in some cases it could be an issue. TomTheHand 14:42, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Littorio class battleship
Sorry about the "...of the United States" cat error! I was doing a whole bunch of articles in a row and my brain wasn't firing on all cylinders. You removed the cat sorting, though, and I replaced it. The "| Littorio class battleship" is necessary because it sorts the article at the top of the cat, but still alphabetically. See Category:World War II battleships of Italy for the result. The class articles are alphabetically at the top, while the individual ship articles are separate. 18:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Era categories on class categories
Hello! In this edit, you added a World War II category to a class category. According to WikiProject Ships categorization guidelines, era categories are placed on the class article instead of the class category. It's felt that putting era categories on class categories implies that that era applies to all ships contained in the class; while this may be true in some cases, it's often not. TomTheHand (talk) 20:55, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

DANFS
I notice you've tagged some of the Bayfields with the DANFS template. Thanks for taking the trouble, but there's something which concerns me about that.

Basically, whenever I have tried to click on a DANFS link, the page invariably fails to load. I have no idea why this might be, but if it happens to me I'm guessing I'm by no means the only one. So I've preferred to use DANFS Online where possible. Their links always work fine. Gatoclass (talk) 14:31, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey Bellhalla! I noticed that you've removed from articles which already have. I posted about it here, and I was hoping we could have a discussion about it.

Unterseeboot 74 (1940)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Unterseeboot 74 (1940), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: :. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; 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. CorenSearchBot (talk) 14:40, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Ship indexes
Hi. Thanks for helping with fixing the names of ship indexes. I notice that you've been removing information on ships' namesakes and other links. The reason we distinguished ship indexes from ordinary disambiguation pages was to avoid being bound by the (IMO overly-restrictive) style of the latter, and could treat indexes more as ordinary articles.

Era categories on class articles
Based on this discussion, we changed our categorization guidelines and we now put era categories on class articles, but not on class categories. Please don't remove era cats from class articles. Thanks! TomTheHand (talk) 22:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again, but as part of a long-standing compromise, WP:SHIPS categorizes both by country and by navy, even though this often seems redundant. Please don't remove country categories, as you did here. I would love for this to change, but there are very strong feelings on both sides of the categorization debate.

AfD nomination of List of Liberty ships by hull number
An editor has nominated List of Liberty ships by hull number, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 02:14, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

 * But with over 3,000 ships, would an article like that be manageable? — Bellhalla (talk) 15:38, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, been out all day. Probably not manageable as a single list, no, but a sortable table format could solve the 'duplicate lists' issue by avoiding separate list-by-hull-number and list-by-name. Looks like someone is already working on implementing that. Maralia (talk) 03:35, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:Liberty ship hull categories
A tag has been placed on Template:Liberty ship hull categories requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes.

SS Gothenburg
Hey there, would appreciate if you could update some additional reference material in this article please. My referencing skills are still very much in the early development stage. The 2 that need updating are No 5 (Allan McInnes) The article was from "Journal of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland, Vol XI, No 3 (1982) pp. 26-44.

The second is a new reference under the "Report" heading. Details are: The Argus (1875). Narration of wreck by Mr Fitzgerald, passenger. 20 March 1875. It should go at the end of the third sentence.

Appreciate your help. CheersSpy007au (talk) 08:11, 27 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I really appreciate your assistance with the referencing. It was me who attemped to format it, but I'm still struggling a bit.

Re: GA nom
In terms of MOS, right now I just look at dates and numbers. The manual of style basically says non-breaking spaces should be present in dates (like so: February 28, 2008) and numbered units (10,000 vehicles) so that lines don't break between units or dates. I try to see if anything else MOS jumps out at me, but there's a lot to keep track of and I haven't learned it all yet. :-) &mdash; Rob (  talk  ) 16:34, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

screenshot
Link to image

Could you make this screenshot of a trebuchet up to encyclopedic standards? I think the menu and the equations simply don't belong there and for the trajectory of the projectile a different color could be used. What also bother me is that it appears somehow blurred, perhaps you can also repair that. Thank you. Wandalstouring (talk) 09:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * How will this illustration be used in trebuchet? If it's as an example of software available for trebuchet makers, then I think it's fine the way it is. If it's as an illustration for the path of a trebuchet and the trajectory of its projectile, there's not much repair that can be done for it. You'd be better off finding someone who can create a new image based off of this one and would avoid any copyright issues associated with this one. I'd suggest posting a request at Requested_pictures/Graphics — Bellhalla (talk) 13:14, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I think it's a whole lot easier to copy&paste the whole URL than to clip out just the distinct part, and they're not that much longer anyway. So I suggest simply using the usual "url" parameter, rather than "link" and "alt".
 * In the short version, at least, you can abbreviate the title to "DANFS".
 * I've been putting "U.S. Naval Historical Center" for the publisher, rather than a more general "United States Navy".
