3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery
Thanks for the extensive history you've added but as each of the constituent batteries already has it's own article you might want to add the information to those articles rather than the article on the regiment as a whole. NtheP (talk) 18:45, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Copyright violation
If your copyright has been violated you can remove the text yourself but leave a note in the edit summary and in most cases the talk page explaining what copyright has been breached. NtheP (talk) 19:41, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page M Battery Royal Horse Artillery has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you.  Calum H93 &#124; talk 22:52, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Donating copyrighted materials
Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history where we are discussing your contributions. Please read also Donating copyrighted materials.

The solution to you adding your own copyrighted material is to use the method used on the Richard Lindon article and an OTRS supplied by the Volunteer response team.

We had a similar problem with an article called James Temple where text had been copied from british-civil-wars website (James Temple), but the copyleft licence is not the same as Wikipedia's, because british-civil-wars prohibits commercial redistribution. The article James Temple had been developed a long way from the original, but as a derived work it was not permissible to keep it so unlike many similar breaches I did not want to have to delete the derived work. David Plant the author of british-civil-wars has a USER ID on Wikipedia called User:Digweed, but we were faced with the same problem as we are with your USER ID, how do we know that the USER ID is an account operated by David Plant and not someone else pretending to be David Plant? Initially I solved it informally by emailing the web site and asking David to confirm he had the user account (this delayed the need to delete the article), then we went through the OTRS system which solved the problem.

The use of OTRS would solve this issue as well, but until an OTRS is supplied copyrighted material should be deleted. -- PBS (talk) 21:53, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

You mentioned two books that you have written.
