User talk:Jezarnold/Archive 2008

My Intro
I have been reading Wikipedia (and related wikis) for some time, am going to start editing bits, little by little.. Jezarnold 13:18, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

1st Regiment Royal Horse Artillery
I've just noticed your recent contributions to the page - the bulk of the text seems to be taken from the MOD site and cleaned up a bit. I'm sorry to be a pain about this, but we can't just copy text - we can add the information, but not the verbatim wording of it, which is protected by copyright. (There's a discussion of this at Copyrights)

If you could rewrite the material rather than simply adding it and polishing it, that'd be great - the more content the better! - but otherwise I'm afraid we're going to need to go back and remove it... Shimgray | talk | 17:16, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Royal Artillery Batteries - Thanks for your comments at User_talk:Jezarnold Whilst I (sort of) understand Copyright law, I assumed that as this information is under the jurisdiction of andCrown Copyright, and is NOT copied word for word (but rather changed slightly) from an official record page then it would be ok.. Any advice gratefully received --Jezarnold (talk) 17:30, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Crown copyright's still copyright, unfortunately (it just expires a bit sooner); we've discussed the matter with HMSO in the past, and the conclusion was that their reasonably generous terms just isn't compatible with the "derive and redistribute" licensing we use. We don't have the convenient "no governmental copyrights" thing the Americans do, sadly, or that'd avoid this whole problem!
 * To avoid making a copy, what we basically need to do is to rewrite from scratch, rather than just changing bits here and there - "in your own words" as the teachers used to say ;-) - as it stands now, I can still easily pick out unchanged material. Ideally, what we're looking for is two completely different bits of text which convey the same information...
 * Thanks for your response.. I was getting lazy during the 1RHA Regiment Section, and have now rewritten and taken out a lot of "cut n paste". I will be more vigilant in future. --Jezarnold (talk) 17:54, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for putting up the battery articles, though! I've been mulling over doing this for a while, since it's quite hard to get a decent historical perspective by just dealing with the parent regiments/brigades. Shimgray | talk | 17:46, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Your Header bar...
Heya Jez. Sure, I'd be happy to help, but from looking at the current look of your pages and the history of User:Jezarnold/Header, I fear that someone else has probably rendered me obsolete! One thing I would point out is that your signature's user talk link currently points toUsertalk:Jezarnold and not User talk:Jezarnold, which you might want to fix. If you do still need a hand with anything, I'll be happy to lend it to you! haz (talk) 21:47, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Tags on talk pages
Good work on the British batteries. When you insert the tag thought, please insert instead of just WPMILHIST, because if you don't somebody has to add the class and task force later. Cheers Buckshot06(prof) 00:47, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Adopt offer
Do you want me to Adopt you if yes leave me a massage here or my talk page okOo7565 (talk) 22:17, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: Adoption Offer
Certainly. The only thing I don't have a ton of experience in is admin-related stuff, such as AfD, Vandalism-Reverting, or changes patrolling. However, should you need help with review, assessment, article logistics, copyediting, ref-finding, or general article-help, I can definitely be of assistance in all of those areas. Regards, Cam (Chat) 05:41, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Adopting
Yes I am still willing to adopt and I'm perfectly happy to adopt you. However you look like you've had a lot more experience in the MILHIST area than I have. So you might want to consider a more experienced article writer than myself, that said i am still willing to help in any way I can. Thanks, Harland1 (t/c) 08:11, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

ACF location list
Tbh I can't see the point in having a long list of places names, the best option is just a link to the location page on the ACF website, the same with the ATC although the there is location details for each Wing, this wouldn't be possible with ACF. I don't think adding the list back into the article will help, it will just make it messy and its not really that interesting. End of the day if it does go in it will just end up being deleted.--Pandaplodder (talk) 12:10, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
