Proof?
On the Landover Baptist Discussion page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Landover_Baptist_Church), you requested evidence for Christianity. I suggest you read the book "Evidence for Christianity" by Josh McDowell. Stcochran16 (talk) 15:35, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Battle of Fulford
While early English history is not my speciality, I'd recommend wikifying, expanding and adding references, then asking for help at the WikiProject Military history and the Peer Review. Keep up the good job!--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 01:02, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi Rick
Regarding your recent edit on the Battle of Grunwald, "Grunwaldu", is the genetive case of Grunwald in the Polish Language. They actually refer to it as "Bitwa pod Grunwaldem", to be even more grammatically correct. So for consistency in English, I will correct it by removing it (Grunwaldu), altogether. Best Wishes, p.s., the different names of the battle in different languages, is pretty well covered in the beginning of the article. Dr. Dan 19:10, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * No problemo! BTW, never got a chance to correct it. It was jumped on immediately by some hungry sharks. They unfortunately, never bother to explain their RVs and other actions to people. I thought as a courtesy to a new and young contributor to Wikipedia, that I should do so. Good Luck! Dr. Dan 19:55, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

You are right, three and a half months, is not "new". Sorry. Just for the record, I'm on your side. That's why I explained my correction, rather than just edited it. I appreciate your imput. Hope we can become friends. Dr. Dan 20:15, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

New stubs
Heh, these guys are going to be after you when they find out how many new small stub categories you've created ;-) Kirill Lok s hin 02:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Technically, new stub types are only supposed to be made when there's a certain minimum number of stubs (~50?) that need them. I doubt there will be any big problem, but keep in mind that things like Finland-battle-stub aren't going to be very useful, since there's only a handful of articles that would ever use them; clumping them into somewhat bigger categories (Scandinavian-battle-stub, maybe?) might make them easier to find. Kirill Lok s hin 02:34, 18 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. You may also want to ask Alai about this; I think he's gone through Category:Battle stubs recently, so he might have a better idea of which countries have enough to warrant their own categories. Kirill Lok s hin 02:39, 18 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I've seen problems like that too. You've been doing some great work with the stubs; I just wanted to make sure we didn't wind up with a lot of almost-empty categories that we'd need to maintain ;-) Kirill Lok s hin 02:44, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I have counts of how these are "double-stubbed" at present; there's a few that were borderline, in the 40-60 range. (I can give you the blow-by-blow if you wish.) But these all look undersized to me. Can I suggest perhaps you keep these templates, to facilitate current sorting and possible future splitting, but merge the categories back into their various parents (by recategorising the templates). Alai 02:56, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Note in particular that there's a (recently created) UK-battle-stub already; that'd be the obvious place to merge the Scottish and English ones. Alai 03:03, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Grand. When they creep back up to closer to 60, then you can propose them, then 'snap back' the category on the template. BTW, I've already proposed, but not created, Russia-battle-stub, for which there were exactly 60 double-stubbed candidates, last time I checked... Alai 03:14, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Why not do the Russians now, and the Polish ones when they hit 60? It's no longer especially that urgent to split the category, as it's comfortably less thn 800 stubs now -- or was, last time I checked, at least! Alai 17:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, I created the Russia-battle stub-type. I've a list of the articles I found that'd fit, here. Alai 07:30, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I just used the same icon as with the "battle-stub" template. Obviously something suggestive of both "Russia" and "battle" would be ideal. Alai 19:50, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Do I have "anything on the Scandanavian battle stub idea" in what sense? You mean a count of whether they'd be over 60? Alai 01:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, you reverted my edit concerning the capitalization of headings. Actually, WP:MS, says the following:
 * Capitalize the first letter only of the first word and of any proper nouns in a heading, and leave all of the other letters in lowercase.

So I'll revert it back to "my" version, if you don't mind :) --- Sandius 17:12, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I hope you will visit "Trooping the Colour", a page I have done a lot of editing on. I'm hoping to bring that up to feature article standard.

Unspecified source for Image:Alphonse Mucha.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Alphonse Mucha.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Thuresson 21:15, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Military history of the peoples of the British Islands
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Military history of the peoples of the British Islands.

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Military history of the peoples of the British Islands.
