Work hard on that dissertation! I've been taking a bit of an all round break, but starting next week I'll be back to work on mine! I very much look forward to "touching base" with you when we're both back at Wiki firing on all cylinders. With that mixed metaphor I should probably make my way to sleep, it's a crazy hour of the morning here in Sydney. All the best. Alastair Haines (talk) 17:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Jrandolph.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Jrandolph.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:37, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Well done! I bet you're delighted now that it's finally promoted :) -- R OGER D AVIES  talk 02:37, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Roger, I was delighted--and a bit relieved. This was my first brush with a "walkabout" reviewer, and I was concerned about the outcome. Thanks, again, for your feedback and support, and congratulations on the well-deserved promotion of Hamlet! At this point, I need to focus on some real-world responsibilities, but I look forward to being back in the saddle some time in the early spring. Cheers, -- twelsht (talk) 05:42, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Peer review swap?
I notice your request for a peer review on Jack Warner's article on User:4u1e's talk page. Would you be willing to barter and do a peer review the Alan Kulwicki article in exchange for my peer review of Wagner's article? Royal broil 17:31, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Deal. I won't be doing the peer review for at least one day. Royal broil  19:24, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Greetings
Nice to see you back and thanks for the offer. What does the T stand for, by the way, or is it a secret? Have you thought about Military history copy-editing? We're always short of copy-editors there. That would be a great help. -- R OGER D AVIES  talk 19:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the message, Tom. They're always cropping up. I'll come back to you when a specific article crops up. You might think about joining Milhist. It gets quite buzzy! -- R OGER D AVIES  talk 05:10, 23 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I've been meaning to post something on Milhist copy-editing for ages and have actually done it here. -- R OGER D AVIES  talk 05:49, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Review request
Alas, I'm pretty full-up with real-life work at the moment. If you still need my eyes on it, check back in a week or so? Good luck. – Scartol  •  Tok  19:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome!
 Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:


 * Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
 * The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can [ watchlist it] if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including WPMILHIST Announcements there.
 * Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you [ watchlist it].
 * The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, article improvement contests, and other tasks.
 * We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
 * We've developed a style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
 * If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention.
 * The project has a stress hotline available for your use.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill 06:35, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Jack Warner
No problem - those were just tweaks. I'll get on with peer review comments this morning, hopefully. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 07:26, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, I've finished. I'll check back at the page, but feel free to contact me if I've been unclear, or you feel the need to abuse me verbally ;-) 4u1e (talk) 18:59, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I've reviewed the article. 4u1e is so thorough - he's a tough act to follow! He helped show me the ropes on our first combined GA article Mario Andretti. Alan Kulwicki is the first article that I'm attempting GA alone. I thought you should know that before you review. BTW, I haven't uploaded a fair use image of Kulwicki since I avoid them. I think eventually they'll be banned/deleted, and I hate to waste effort. I've made attempts to get a free use image of Kulwicki since I've made some inroads into Wisconsin's stock car racing scene, which was Kulwicki's scene. I talked with Kulwicki's friend Father Dale Grubba, a Roman Catholic priest who's putting the finishing touches on a Kulwicki book to be released later this year. He said that he's putting together his images for the book. I asked if he might allow licensing of a lower value photograph (not high enough quality to be sold), so he's supposedly watching for one. Royal broil  15:16, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I found a quote from Kulwicki's publicity about his "hard to know" personality and followed it up that he remained a bachelor (which I didn't cite because it should not be controversial even though I found a source). I added it to the lead paragraphs. Does the placement make sense?


 * It looks like you shouldn't have any more questions for me on Jack Warner. Buzz me if you do. Royal broil  14:45, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much, Tom. Appreciated. -- R OGER D AVIES  talk 13:37, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Ta very much. Obviously I wasn't too harsh with my comments! Phew. 4u1e (talk) 21:38, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Milhist: Logistics dept
This is now up and running. I've signed you up for copy-editing :) You may wish to pop over there and add whatever qualifiers you consider necessary. Don't you have JSTOR access too? All the best, and thanks, -- R OGER D AVIES ' talk 12:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Can't you do graphics as well (hint, hint)? :) -- R OGER D AVIES  talk 05:42, 5 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Now that is useful to know. -- R OGER D AVIES  talk 07:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think the edits were necessarily vandalism: assuming good faith, the editor may simply have been unaware of why they were removed. This is a revert and talk one, I think. -- R OGER D AVIES  talk 22:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I found a claim about Harry chasing Jack with a lead pipe in the book Hollywood Be Thy Name; Schochet must have been mistaken.Kevin j (talk) 01:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)


 * What I suggest is that you two find forms of words that are acceptable to you both. This will mean compromise on both sides, and working together, as opposed to working against each other. Providing stuff is reliably sourced it can be included, though it might need a bit of cooperative editing to make sure that any additions fit in with the flow and tone of the article. I am not interested in arbitrating on content but I can certainly provide a second opinion on wording. So can we stop this add, revert, add cycle, please? -- R OGER D AVIES  talk 07:05, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the Barnstar, Twelsht, and Roger Davies, we did manage to find a compromise through a reliable printed source. Kevin j (talk) 15:08, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Congrats on the article achiving FA! It was helpful watching the article go through the FA process. Royal broil  03:45, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well done on achieving FA - that was pretty quick, which is usually a good sign! If you're in the mood for it, could I ask you to cast a critical eye over Max Mosley, which is on FAC at the moment. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 04:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ta. It's 4 in the morning here, but I've just got up to watch the first race of the F1 season. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 04:22, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the kind words. I am sorry I was so swamped with other things, so I didn't have a chance to review it, but what I saw looked pretty good. Congrats! Ealdgyth - Talk 05:19, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the barnstar, and congratulations on your new FA! I really appreciate your being so gracious during the FAC process. Just showing up with an article that's close to ready is rare enough, so it really was a pleasant surprise to get both :) Maralia (talk) 19:20, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

You're a rollbacker!
I've made you a rollbacker. This'll make fighting genuine vandalism and maintenance on your featured articles easier. As you know, it reverts all the edits by the last editor to the last edit by the previous one in one go. And, as you also know, it must never be used in content or editing disputes. Anyhow, if you want the rollbacker icon top right on your user page just add rollback to it. Good luck, -- R OGER D AVIES  talk 06:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the barnstar. I'm please it all worked out well. -- R OGER D AVIES  talk 06:09, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Many thanks for the work on and support for Max Mosley. (I wouldn't have minded if you had opposed, btw!). I've fiddled around with (I think) three of your changes, because of the way I wanted ideas to join up, but your edits are definitely an improvement. Thanks again. 4u1e (talk) 10:16, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
