Welcome and have a look
Caught some of you edits and think you may be interested in the USMC portal. Have a look and help us out if you have the time. If you have any questions let me know and I'll be glad to help you with anything.--Looper5920 19:24, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks like you came out of the box swinging. Love the 2/24 page.  I made some edits to it to remove some of the fluff and to bring it in line with the other USMC articles. Make sure you remember the opening paragraph.  Imagine someone knows nothing about the Marine Corps and start from there.  You just can't rock into the heavy stuff.  It would be great if you could help us fill out the rest of the USMC material that needs to be created.  Again, if you ever need help with anything let me know.--Looper5920 10:01, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Medal of Honor image
Hi there. I noticed that you have just changed out a number of the USMC Medal of Honor pages &mdash; replacing the Medal of Honor image in the infobox. Would you please tell me why you made the changes? (I'm curious as I spent a long time finding just the right image with the shade of blue that was worked well with the infobox blue color.) &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 02:55, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not taking issue. Just curious ... as I created over 100 of the USMC Medal of Honor pages.  (BTW.  Pretty short discussion period.) &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 03:00, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * BTW. It would be much easier to convert such an image from gif to jpg and then just upload it over the old one.  &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 03:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No offense at editing "my articles" as I don't take ownership. After all, it is a community effort and we are all interested in making the best articles possible.  However, I think such a change of all the articles did deserve more than a couple of hours sitting on the portal discussion page.  I would have appreciated an opportunity to give my two cents. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 03:09, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that that particular image was used only in USMC MOH recipient articles, as I uploaded it specifically for that reason. (Though it might be on a few Navy pages ... I didn't check.)  Possibley the reason it wouldn't upload over the older image was that the first is a jpg format and the newer one is a gif format.  Did you convert the gif to jpg?  It is a quick conversion if you have the software.  I believe jpg is the preferred format for this type of image; at least over gif. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 03:13, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I looked at the image history and viewed the version from November 14 that you uploaded. It seemed to work fine.  I saw the same image that you have a gif of.  Perhaps it was a server lag that made it seem like the upload didn't work? &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 03:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Hagee
Sorry about the Hagee edit. A lot of times there's a couple months between when an officer steps down and when he actually retires. In fact, Hagee is still listed on the Marine Corps website as an active duty general "awaiting retirement". But you're right, your reference does say the retirement ceremony was held before the change of command. My bad. Morinao 20:03, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Alphabetizing ACW biography categories
I noted that you alphabetized the categories for Mahlon Manson recently. We have been debating whether or not all Civil War bios should have their cats in chronological order (preferred so far) or alphabetical. I would assume you prefer the latter. Any thoughts? WP:ACW Scott Mingus 23:46, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

General Michael Hagee, USMC - retirement
Hi. I noticed that you reverted an edit to Michael Hagee which indicated he was not yet retired. See my comment on the talk page. The Marine Corps reference shows that he is not yet retired, thus the "ceremony" was ceremonial only. He is still "active", though has no command assignment. I've change the article and provided a footnote reference. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 04:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

British Isles
I know the reasoning used by those who choose to find the term offensive but this reasoning is rooted in subjective political POV. British Isles is a politically and ethnically (unless you consider the ancient Britons/Welsh for whom they were nameD) neutral term which is far, far older than any of the political entities located within these isles. The fact that some people choose to find the term offensive has no bearing on its validity anymore than the fact that a sizable portion of the northern Irish population find being classed as British ( despite the fact that they are undeniably so ) offensive has any bearing on the reality. Ireland is,always has been and always will be an island of the British isles. This is not a political issue. siarach 19:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your comment on my user page. Although I couldn't disagree with you more, I appreciate the civility in your answer. However, I will, of course, continue to debate the use of the term wherever it appears.
 * I notice on your user page that you take issue with those who mistakenly refer to Britain or the UK as "England." I find the the parallel between this and our discussion of "British Isles" striking.
 * I am firmly convinced that neither you nor I shall be able to change the other's opinion on this matter, so I instead wish you good luck and a happy Christmas. Windyjarhead 21:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The difference is however that the UK/Britain is neither England or a part of England whereas Ireland is a part of the British Isles. Merry Christmas to you too. siarach 12:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Irish History
You seem like you have a lot a knowledge with respect Irish history so maybe you would like to comment on the historic basis of this term here Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-12-02 IRA 'Volunteer' usage —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DownDaRoad (talk • contribs) 23:52, 7 December 2006 (UTC).

Thanks for my welcome!
I'd be more than happy to answer any questions about Welsh, although I'm not yet fluent in the language. Any help with my Spanish would be great, I've just done the subjunctive which was a little tricky, so if I have any questions I shall ask. Thanks, Eagle Owl

MoH image and your todo list
I had uploaded a new Army medal of honor image about a month ago. It is at. I think it is a clearer picture and wanted to see if you object to replacing the one you uploaded. Separately, I know I saw a better Air Force moh image that was uploaded, but I can't find it right now. Also, just by coincidence, I had edited the page of Bruce McCandless today and after I did it I noticed that he was on your todo list. I hope I didn't screw up what you were planning to do.

River Shannon
I am curious about your perception of controversy about the Shannon being the longest in the British Isles. It is a true and supported fact; it is the language used by the Irish Tourist Board; and also learned by every Irish kid in school in Ireland. I know that there has been controversy about including Ireland in "The British Isles" elsewhere in Wikipedia, but I see no reason to spread that to yet another page. I won't engage in serial reversions with you (there are plenty of others who will waste their time on that), but I would encourage you to consider the possibility (if indeed this is the issue) that in fact Ireland is part of the island group called The British Isles, and most folks who were born in, or grew up in Ireland don't give it a second thought. If I missed your point entirely, I apologize and wish you well. Dmccabe 16:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your position as expressed on my talk page. Good luck in your quest to modify usage of the term British Isles. I have not taken the time to visit the various sites where the controversy lives. Have any users come up with a good collective term for the isles commonly referred to as British?Dmccabe

Michael Corcoran
Thanks for the notice, Windyjarhead. I'll keep a close eye on it alright. --The.Q | Talk 11:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for doing such a good job on the Place of Birth reversions here. I'm not in a position to watch this regularly but it's good to see someone is.  --The.Q | Talk to me 17:11, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I like your reasoning process, and your conclusions. Looks good to me. It also appears that the users involved have been quiet for a few days, maybe... --The.Q | Talk to me 16:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll see if I can find out anything at Markievicz House tomorrow, but I don't expect that records there go back that far. I'll let you know what, if anything, I find out. --The.Q | Talk to me 21:34, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I've checked with the Registrar of Births in Sligo, at Markievicz House, but they only hold records dating back to 1864, so they wouldn't have records for Corcoran's birth. I'm going to try and trace some baptismal records for him, although I'm not sure where I'd go for this.  I'm assuming, given his background, that he was Protestant (probably Anglican, or Episcopalian if you're from USA) so I'll firstly try the Church of Ireland in Ballymote, and try and work back from there.  --The.Q | Talk to me 15:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I've done a little further research. When, in 1860, Corcoran refused to parade the Sixty-Ninth before the Prince of Wales in New York, one of the local Sligo newspapers at the time (the Sligo Independent), which was staunchly Conservative and loyalist to the crown, reported, It turns out that the Colonel is an Irish Roman Catholic, and we regret to add that he is a native of Ballymote, ... I'll still follow-up on aa baptismal certificate, but this time from the Roman Catholic church in Ballymote.  However, as it's St. Patrick's day here tomorrow, and our celebrations tend to last for a few days, I probably won't get any further on this until next week.  Happy St. Patrick's Day!! --The.Q | Talk to me 10:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Michael Corcoran
The sources you site for Gen Michael Corcoran's birth are inaccurate. The statue of Michael Corcoran in County Sligo was not errected because he was born there but because he spent his last years in Ireland there. I am a distant relative of Gen. Michael Corcoran. My family donated a portrait of him to the University of Pennsylvania. Included with the portrait is his birth certificate stating that he was born in County Donegal and departed from Ireland from County Sligo. It also list his ancestors from both England and Ireland. If you want a birth certificate for evidence please go to the Penn's Directory. Type in Corcoran and click enter. My name will appear, the same as Gen. Michael Corcoran but with a different middle name. Send me an email. Best. 63.3.20.129 16:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * This anonymous user's hypothesis that the statue at Ballymote, County Sligo was only erected there because Corcoran spent his last years in Ireland at Carrowkeel doesn't really hold water for me. It seems just too much of a coincidence that he was born in a tiny village called Carrowkeel in the very northern tip of Donegal (as this user proposes), and that he just happened to spend his last years in Ireland in a tiny village called Carrowkeel in southern County Sligo, a distance of over 100 miles.  --The.Q | Talk to me 16:38, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Michael Corcoran/Republic of Ireland/Ireland
Thanks for that. I had just seen the WP:IMOS which says that links to Ireland should be piped as Republic of Ireland, but showing Ireland on the article, and I was changing all those on my watchlist. I guess I got carried away a little bit!! Go raibh maith agat. ;) --The.Q | Talk to me 14:18, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I can see what you mean, alright, and using the RoI/Ireland thing for anything before partition would be pointless, and Ireland should be used. However, for current events, or current places I think it is useful to be able to highlight to those who maybe don't know that they are (regardless of one's political leanings) two different states/countries/jurisdictions/whatever. --The.Q | Talk to me 09:54, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Gunner (rank)
Hi. I've been on a Wikibreak and just saw your note on the USMC Portal talk page concerning the subject article. Could you write a short intro to the article that gives a brief lead-in to both UK and USMC? Then leave a note on the talk page.... While "Gunner" is not an official USMC rank, it might be the case that someone would think this would be the case, so including info on it on the page makes sense. &mdash; User: (talk) 04:20, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I have proposed that the articles “foreign relations of the Republic of Ireland; civil service of the Republic of Ireland and public service of the Republic of Ireland" be renamed in each case by deleting the words “the Republic of”.

Re:revert
I explained in the edit summary why I reverted it. Much of the content refers to islands in the British Isles other than Britain and Ireland. Fairly simple. Politically divisive it may be in some quarters of the world, but I and all the medieval historians who employ the term are far from this universe, as with the historian of Irish medieval history Robin Frame whose book The Political Development of the British Isles, 1100-1400  is one of the most read undergrad text on such matters. It's just the word in the English language for the archipelago, and there is no other word. Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a political campaigning zone. Truly, man, give us all a break. There's enough of this crap elsewhere. Deacon of Pndapetzim ( Talk ) 23:58, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Relax, dude. It's not your concerns that are crap, it's the politics. I can't stand politics, esp. when it is brought into medieval history. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate why British Isles might be an annoying term, but this is an encyclopedia meant to slavishly regurgitate mainstream views and information ... not change the English language. British Isles is beans compared to some of the terms and practices some other nationalists have to tolerate. As for alternates to "British Isles", there are no serious terms that I'm aware of. "British Isles" is by and large not a controversial term outside very limited demographic cricles (certainly, Irish medievalists don't seem to regard it as such). And ... trust me, it's best kept away. If you bring these politics into medieval history articles, besides distorting mainstream views and violating WP:UNDUE, you're also gonna bring the opposite ideologies into it, and so nothing will advance either way and the only net change will be additional conflict. This is the crap I referred to. Deacon of Pndapetzim ( Talk ) 01:25, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Capital M
OK, so capital M is correct. It appears not to be, so can you explain. Also, why just blindly revert my edit? If, as you say, capital M is correct (and S for sailors), then you could have just corrected it. 81.5.133.201 (talk) 21:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't "blindly" revert your edit. You made an incorrect revision and I removed it. That's how wikipedia works. By the way, you'll be much more credible if you sign in as a registered user, instead of an anonymous IP address.


 * As for your question regarding the use of a capital "M" when referring to United States Marines, please review the main article at United States Marine Corps. You'll see that Marine with a capital M is the standard.Windyjarhead (talk) 23:32, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Abbreviation for Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps
Regarding your reverted edit here: Template:US enlisted ranks;The correct abbreviation is SgtMajMC, according to many official sources including USMC.mil and defenselink, and also here on wikipedia, on the page itself. If you google SgtMajMarCor you won't find too many relevant sources. I think you should check with some of the other users on wikipedia that are in the Marine Corps first, as I do not even live in America, and can only quote from websites. But nonetheless, I'm sure that the official abbreviation now is SgtMajMC.--Officer781 (talk) 12:28, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Hitchens' Nationality - English NOT British
Just a message Windy... you stated.."of course he is English and British, that point has already been conceded". The Hitch stated in July 2007.."I always say i'm English, not British"... so while technically he carries dual British citizenship, its actually English that he refers to himself as being...not British. Its significant because its how most people (the non toffs) who have no affinity to the monarchy state themselves as being, from my own experience im an English catholic, i have nothing to do with any "British" label nor Monarchy.JoshHoward77 (talk) 19:51, 05 October 2009 (UTC)

Alanis Morrisette
You wrote in an edit comment: "Fixing her nationality, for the umpteenth time. This is properly cited. Removing this content is VANDALISM."

You are completely incorrect about this. Plus you have made a personal attack. Wikipedia uses the nationality held at the time the subject became notable in the lead sentence. We do not change it just because the subject acquires another citizenship. We simply note the acquisition of the additional citizenship in the article. "Canadian-American" is a phrase most commonly read as referring to a person born is the US but of Canadian heritage. It is completely misleading to use such a phrase in the lead sentence.

This is clearly detailed in WP:OPENPARA, which I was involved in crafting after discussion on the talk page. It's offensive to many living subjects to be called by a misleading hyphenated nationality. Morrisette is not a "Canadian-American" - she is a Canadian who has also acquired US citizenship. Only if she had renounced her Canadian citizenship or had it revoked would it be changed in the lead sentence, and even then it would be changed to "American", not "Canadian-American".

If anyone is engaging in vandalism here, it is you. However, I do not believe this to be the case, I think you simply were unaware of the guidelines pertaining to nationality in the lead sentence. Yworo (talk) 14:59, 19 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Have you even read the cited article? She calls herself "Canadian-American." Why on earth would you, or Wikipedia, presume to say that she is not? Spare me the wiki-lawyering. She is legitimately Canadian and legitimately American. She calls herself "Canadian-American." There is no compelling reason to not call her "Canadian-American" and to state, as you have, that she is not Canadian-American the stance that is actually completely incorrect.

Thank you for uploading File:BC, SgtMaj and Charles.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
