RAF Fighter Command Order of Battle
Hi Nthep; the only mention of The Hardest Day is footnote 6, which is related to a potted description of Sector Stations; these were relevant to the command structure of Fighter Command throughout the battle. The Battle of Britain Then and Now Volume 5 is the primary reference for the unit code letters, squadron names (eg:152 "Hyderabad" Sqn), radio call signs, etc, and confirms which units were officially accredited to Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain; the list of 71 units is on page 255. Again, this was relevant to the entire B of B period. This does not give the locations of the units on 15 September and supplements the information given in Woods and Dempster, which is not listed in the bibliography, nor is there any citation to the book. A note to this effect had been added. Minorhistorian (talk) 22:20, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

North Staffordshire Regt
Hi you may be inerested in this its from - REGIMENTAL NICKNAMES AND TRADITIONS OF THE BRITISH ARMY - the link is here --Jim Sweeney (talk) 17:26, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

THE PRINCE OF WALES'S (North Staffordshire Regiment).

THE 1 st Battalion (64th Foot) was raised in 1 756, the facings being black. It took part in the hardest fighting in the West Indies and America, being engaged there off and on till 1815, reaching home just too late to take part in the battle of Waterloo. The regiment was on board the " Alert," when she was wrecked near Halifax, N.S., all ranks remaining below silent and under perfect discipline, while the vessel was run ashore. Had the men attempted to reach the deck the vessel would have foundered. By their discipline everyone aboard was saved, and the Duke of Wellington ordered that the details should be published throughout the Army as an example of discipline. The 2nd Battalion (98th Foot) was raised in 1 824 and served in the Crimean War. The 98th was honoured with the title of " Prince of Wales's " in recognition of the duties performed by the Corps during the Prince of Wales's visit to Malta.

Nicknamed : " The Black Knots " as distinct from ' The Staffordshire Knots" of the South Staffordshire Regiment.

Re:North Staffordshire Regiment
No problem. It's not going to be the best copy-edit, but it'll be an improvement. Expect it in a day or two. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 01:01, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

North Staffordshire Railway
Hi Nthep, I suggest you have a look at Category:Templates for railway lines of Scotland: try and find a route diagram somewhat similar to what is needed, copy it into a sandbox and play with it. Once you have a route map open, clicking on the legend at the top will give you the individual symbols.

Remember that you are not trying to recreate the line as it actually exists, merely to mimic in straight lines and small curves, such as a "ladder" in two, three, four, five or six "legs", with bits cut out. If you want to play, I'm happy to look at anything that you make between now and Sunday, but not after Sunday.Pyrotec (talk) 19:50, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I've tweaked your diagram to fix the broken lines. Did you see my comments at WT:UKRail? Mjroots (talk) 08:17, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I couldn't see any broken lines beforehand which is why I hadn't chnaged anything. I did see your comments, thnaks.  I just haven't got round to starting on all the links to stations. NtheP (talk) 09:35, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Skipton
Because it isn't normal to use categories as "see also" items. Anyone listed in the category who isn't in the article should be added, it is then redundant to point to a category which simply lists the people. --JD554 (talk) 13:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be a valid argument if Skipton had dozens of notable people in the category. But as a small town it there are only a few which wouldn't be too difficult to add to the article as it stands. --JD554 (talk) 14:11, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I really don't think that's going to be a problem any time soon given that Skipton has a population of about 15,000 compared to Bradford's of nearer 500,0000 ;) --JD554 (talk) 14:22, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jersey child abuse investigation 2008
A tag has been placed on Jersey child abuse investigation 2008 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. 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 page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ttonyb1 (talk) 15:30, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

North Staffordshire Regiment GA review
Hi there,

The info you added was just about right, I'd say, though it does need a citation (sorry!). As you can hopefully see, I've carried on reviewing the article, adding hidden comments in the text where I think something needs changing/clarifying. This isn't an ideal way to do it, but it helps me keep track of what I have reviewed.

Overall (based on a quick read) I don't think there will be any problems passing the review, just a few details in need of clarification, and some style issues. I will detail these when I finish giving it a thorough read-through.

History of Weapons
Dear sir, thanks a bunch for the help. I am really glad that someone took out some time for helping me and appreciating the article. I am reading all your instructions and will soon get back to you after reading the whole stuff. I would definitely need some help from you. Please be in touch. Nefirious (talk) 05:49, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

It's actually “Procopius, Agathias and the Frankish Military,” and the author is Bachrach. Sorry for the confusion. And thanks for helping me out with the footnotes and references arrangement. I'll keep in mind the next time I am quoting notes or the references. Nefirious (talk) 13:38, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
