Terminology
Please be prepared to justify with sources your terminological changes on F&I War-related articles. See Talk:Battle of Fort Necessity.  Magic ♪piano 21:46, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * When editors initiate discussions on article talk pages, that is the correct place to respond. I asked for a discussion of sources at Talk:Battle of Fort Necessity; please make the discussion there, where other editors watching the article will see it.  Thank you.

 * Now, I clearly explained that my edits to Jumonville Glen were tentative -- if you objected to them, you could have civilly raised your issues. I would even not have objected had you reverted them.  Magic ♪piano 02:36, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Honey or vinegar?
Forking a redirect to a feature article is somewhat provocative. You should have considered that there might be objections to such a move, and asked about it beforehand (e.g. at WT:MILHIST). When people are polite to me, I am generally polite to them -- this should tell you something of your own behavior. I will also remind you that you were the first to throw insults at me in the Fort Necessity discussion. Is it any surprise, under those conditions, that I am mistrustful and harsh with you?

That said, I repeat the offer made at Talk:Fort Carillon: if you want help translating fr:Drapeau du Carillon into Carillon flag, I am willing to help. (You will have to do the rough translation, my French ne pas tres bien.)  Magic ♪piano 13:57, 16 April 2011 (UTC)


 * A brief story from my youth. As a child, I was given a game by some of my German relatives.  It was a board game with a map of Germany, in which you moved from city to city, collecting money for each trip.  One of the places on it was called "Stettin".  When I tried to find this place in a modern atlas, I failed.  I did not find out until some years later that this place is now called Szczecin (you can understand why I had trouble finding it), and had come under Polish control at the end of WW2.  Should I (a) complain to the atlas-maker for using the "wrong" name, (b) complain to the game maker who (possibly for ethno-political reasons) put a now-Polish city on a map of Germany, or (c) recognize that place names change, and appreciate their multiethnic heritage?

Just a note that you shouldn't remove the notice from a portal that is being discussed at Miscellany for deletion. The notice has to stay in place until the discussion ends after a week. If you are planning to improve the portal, now would be a good time to start! -- John of Reading (talk) 06:07, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Fort Beauséjour
I believe you found an incorrect image of Fort Beauséjour or the image of a different fort. Check the brochure at the Parks Canada site here: Fort Beauséjour–Fort Cumberland: Une Histoire / A History It shows several layouts of the Forts (Beauséjour and Cumberland) that are all five pointed. The image you have submitted does not match. Please do not revert again unless you have proof the model is accurate. Dger (talk) 01:18, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I just explained myself in Talk. This picture of the model was taken inside the Fort Beauséjour museum. Even the drawing shows an uneven five star fort, and your link shows a building similar to the one inside the model. Prove me different or phone the museum.--Varing (talk) 01:23, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The model is clearly wrong. I trust the Parks Canada brochure which even uses a five-pointed star as the Fort's icon. I also looked at a current top view of the existing foundation using Google Earth and the layout does not match the model. Thus, the model is wrong. I can assure you that there is no one at the museum right now. It is only open in the summer. Cheers. Dger (talk) 01:36, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
