UK
Hey I would like to point out user:keizuko who has been making some anti-British edits to UK related articles so watch out for them trying to revert the edit you made on the UK page. It's true that the MOD state the UK's defence spending is 2nd in the world so how it used to say it was only 3rd was original research. Signsolid (talk) 18:09, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

WPMILHIST
By your edits i can see you are interested in the military and in particular the RAF. I would advise that you join WikiProject Military history, as this gives you the opportunity to meet like minded people. Thanks, Gaia Octavia Agrippa T | C 21:35, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Junior cadets ??
Where did you get the information that probationer are now called junior cadets?? Where is your proof? Please send a reply to my talk page. Gaia Octavia Agrippa T | C 21:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply, though you could of just posted it on my talk page :). I take it you have something to do with the ATC? And if you ever need any help come and ask me. Gaia Octavia Agrippa T | C 09:11, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Specialist Firearms Command
The MP5s used by British ARVs are not capable of fully-automatic fire and are therefore not "sub machine guns". Nick Cooper (talk) 15:16, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Edit summary
Please make use of the edit summary section. It is there to help other editors know what you have done. You don't have to write an essay for each edit just a couple of words. Thanks, Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk | Sign 11:35, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Missile, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. I would also like you to use an edit summary. Marcus Aurelius (talk) 16:00, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Special Air Service
Hi this article is a GA therefore any changes have to be examined. That said what you are trying to input is already covered in the note. The extra wording is not needed - just read teh article. Jim Sweeney (talk) 15:24, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

3RR SAS
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Special Air Service. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording, and content that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Canterbury Tail   talk  19:00, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Editors violating the rule will usually be blocked for 24 hours for a first incident.
 * 3) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Union Flag
I'm sorry but I must disagree with your recent edit. The links you deleted were all high quality links, The College of Heralds, HMG and the Royal Family. The first three exclusively refer to the "Union Flag", never mentioning the "Union Jack" anywhere. The Royal Family website does mention the the jack as an alternative term, right at the bottom. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 12:00, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Whilst they may use the term "Union Flag" and are indeed high-quality links, there is nothing in any of those pages saying that Union Flag is more correct than Union Jack. It would appear that there is a style choice amongst official websites to use the term Union Flag but that doesn't make it any more correct, any more than the government's style preference for using "organization" makes it any more correct than "organisation". I have reverted the edit, until someone can add a quality source that specifically states that one is more correct than the other, rather than someone's having reached that conclusion by the lack of use of the other term (as that would be original research - "This includes any analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to reach or imply a conclusion not stated by the sources.")

Speedy deletion nomination of Halo (safety device)
Hello Jellyfish dave,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Halo (safety device) for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, [].

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Your cut and paste page move has been reversed
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Alfa Romeo TZ. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:02, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Alfa Romeo Type 937


The article Alfa Romeo Type 937 has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "copy and paste page, doubles with mistakes what already exists on their respective pages"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
