Disambiguation link notification for April 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Léon Amédée François Raffenel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brest (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Meldon Viaduct
Hey Dumelow, could you cast your engineering expertise over that article? It came to my attention after it was suggested that the old LSWR route from Exeter to Plymouth (of which the viaduct is a part) could be re-opened to bypass Dawlish. It's still a work in progress, but I'm hopeless with the engineering side of it. Could you take a look and make sure I've not got anything muddled up, particularly in the design section? Thanks a lot, HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  19:03, 21 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Nice article on an interesting structure, I will be sure to pay it a visit if I am ever down that way! I managed to scrape together a little more info from the online ICE archives and Google Books and have added it in.  However I am not too sure whether I have explained/linked enough engineering terms to make it understandable!  Also some of the info might need changing about/reordering a bit, I am a bit pushed for time.  If there's anything you need more background on let me know and I will try to clarify what I meant!  I will be away most of the week but should be back on Saturday.  Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 20:54, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Very much obliged! Thanks for your help (I especially liked the titbit about Ovingham Bridge). I'll let you know if I need anything explaining. This is a bit of a long shot, but do you know of a source that links Meldon and Bennerley viaducts? There are plenty of sources for either of them being one of two lattice truss railway bridges, but none that explicitly make the connection. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  21:16, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Managed to check in mid week. Rennison mentions all three bridges on page 31 but doesn't state they are the only remaining.  I will see if I can dig anything up - Dumelow (talk) 19:40, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * This document from the ICE archive says "There are two surviving wrought iron viaducts of the Crumlin type, those at Meldon and Bennerley". In reference to the use of lattices at the Crumlin Viaduct - Dumelow (talk) 19:52, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I have now incorporated this reference into the article - Dumelow (talk) 08:00, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Might be of interest
I remember you mentioned somewhere that you were interested in engineering-y events a while back. Well, Wikimedia UK need some experienced Wikipedians to help with an event with the Royal Academy of Engineering on 23 June. If you're interested, ping Daria at WMUK (daria.cybulska at wikimedia.org.uk) and cc me (harry.mitchell at wikiconferences.org.uk). I know it's a weekday, which might be a headache, but I thought I'd mention it. Best, HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  13:41, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Main Page appearance: Zaian War
This is a note to let the main editors of Zaian War know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on June 12, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/June 12, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

The Zaian War was fought between France and the Zaian confederation of Berber tribes in Morocco between 1914 and 1921. Morocco had become a French protectorate in 1912, and Resident General Hubert Lyautey (pictured) sought to extend French influence through the Middle Atlas mountains towards French Algeria. The war began well for the French, but they incurred heavy losses, including over 600 troops killed at the Battle of El Herri. The French retained most of their territory during the First World War, despite the withdrawal of some troops for service at home and continuing raids by the Zaians, who were supported by the Central Powers. After the signing of the Armistice with Germany in November 1918, significant forces of tribesmen remained opposed to French rule. The French resumed their offensive in the Khénifra area in 1920, and entered negotiations with the Zaians. A split between those who supported submission and those still opposed led to infighting, and the French responded with a strong, three-pronged attack into the Middle Atlas that pacified the area. Some tribesmen fled to the High Atlas and continued a guerrilla war against the French well into the 1930s.

You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently. Nominators no longer need to calculate how many "points" an article has, the instructions have been simplified, and there's a new nomination system using templates based on those used for DYK suggestions. Please consider nominating another article, or commenting on an existing nomination, and leaving some feedback on your experience. Thank you. UcuchaBot (talk) 00:01, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

MilHist coordinator elections
Hi Dumelow, is there any chance I could tempt you to put your hat into the ring at [Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators/September 2014? It's not a huge commitment when there are a dozen of us and I think you'd be good at it—you're sensible and level-headed, you've got plenty of experience, and it would be good to have some new blood on the coord team. Best, HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  21:04, 4 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for thinking of me Harry. I will mull it over for a while and take a look at some of the co-ordinators' tasks.  I have a lot on workwise at the moment - have nowhere near as much free-time as I used to and I wouldn't want to commit half-heartedly to it - Dumelow (talk) 14:24, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Richard Mohun, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Oak Hill Cemetery. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Paul Emile Diou...
Dumelow,

I feel so guilty about the DYK with Paul Emile Diou. I'm sorry for wasting so much time about the whole notability issue. At any rate, it is now GTG and should finally appear on the main page. Cheers! Étienne Dolet (talk) 06:30, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * No problem, mate. I am glad we were able to settle the matter one way or the other.  To be honest it is a fine line with some of the generals I have researched as to whether there are enough secondary sources available to provide sufficient coverage and Diou was close to that.  Glad we came to an agreement anyway.  Many thanks.  PS - think I have solved the name-related confusion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history - Dumelow (talk) 18:28, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Kasino point
Thank you for deleting the page now it's been superseded. I am working on Capture of La Boisselle here User:Keith-264/sandbox5 and wonder if Lochnagar mine should be treated the same way. I notice thought that it has a Commons page and wonder if the photos can be moved or incorporated into the Commons page for Capture of La Boisselle if the Lochnagar page is deleted? It's a detail a little beyond my Wikimojo.Keith-264 (talk) 08:45, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * No problem. I have just redirected the page to the Montauban article as I forgot to do so when I deleted it.  I am not sure about the Lochnagar page, I think it has sufficient notability to stand alone.  The site is a popular stop on tours of the Western Front and receives some 75,000 visitors a year (I visited myself some years back).  The article should contain more about its importance as a war memorial than it does at the moment, with the La Boisselle page containing more of the information about the actual mine and subsequent engagements, I think - Dumelow (talk) 09:14, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

 * How about this one? Sausage ValleyKeith-264 (talk) 21:25, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I've done a bit of shifting about, to add material to the Lochnagar page but don't have anything about commemoration I'm afraid, apart from the External links I've added so I'll ask around.Keith-264 (talk) 10:08, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Nice work on the expansion Keith. I'll take a look and see if I can help out a little.  Not sure about Sausage Valley, maybe it has enough stand-alone notability (it is mentioned in a lot of sources but I am not sure about depth of coverage).  It might, perhaps, be worthwhile canvassing wider opinion over at the milhist talkpage - Dumelow (talk) 10:36, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, since I can only see the Genealogy bank raw links and not the actual reference, I was not able to get you all the links you requested. From what little I could find, listed in chronological order:

Battle of Rossignol
Hi I read this article yesterday. It is good to see 1914 battles getting the attention they deserve. Just one thing: I don't get from the aftermath how this equated to a decisive victory. There doesn't seem to have been any operational side effects. Tactically it seems to have been a comprehensive defeat for the French. Perhaps it should be just victory? Dapi89 (talk) 20:15, 30 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Glad you enjoyed it! I wrote it a little while back so the details aren't particularly vivid in my memory. However you are probably correct, I don't think there was much of an effect on the wider Battle of the Frontiers except that it effectively knocked out one of the best units of the French Army.  I have no objections if you want to change the infobox (these things are always subjective anyway), regards - Dumelow (talk) 21:13, 30 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I'd rather not. If, as you say, you need to re-visit the literature you might find that actually it did. And I don't have any of it, so I can't really. I was just asking as a matter of passing interest. But its something you might want to bare in mind lest the reviewer asks. Dapi89 (talk) 14:22, 31 October 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem, I intend to give it a once-over it when I get the chance. Thanks for your interest - Dumelow (talk) 18:18, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Let me know when it's ready for me again. auntieruth (talk) 20:19, 25 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry to keep you waiting Ruth, I have been unexpectedly busy recently and haven't been able to get on WP as much, I will try to keep chipping away at the copyediting as I can. I really appreciate you reviewing the article though, thanks for putting up with me! Will drop you a line when I am happy, cheers - Dumelow (talk) 18:48, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Richard Mohun
Hi, I was able to access the Genealogy Bank links you posted at WP:RX. Most of them are duplicates of Congo Cannibals Routed. There is an article from November 5, 1893 of the New York Herald titled "*Hunting down Slave Traders"  and another from the July 14, 1897 edition of Emporia Gazette titled "Attended by a leopard. The United States Consul to Zanzibar Creates a Sensation" that looks promising. Please email me for the Pdfs. Regards, - NQ (talk)  22:18, 13 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Great work on the article btw, and you started working on it in 2008! - NQ (talk)  22:24, 13 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks, email on the way. It's an article I started way back when I was improving Anglo-Zanzibar War to FA status and I have kept coming back to it since.  He's an interesting character with plenty of stories to delve into.  I would love to eventually improve the article to FA - Dumelow (talk) 22:32, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
