Large cruisersHi, Ed. I was looking at your Large Cruisers tab, and it occurred to me: wouldn't the Deutschland-class cruiser be part of it, since they were more or less the original "large cruiser"? If so, then D class cruiser (Germany) and P class cruiser (both planned successors to the Deutschlands) would probably fit in as well. I've got some technical data for the classes, so if you want to include them, I'll be able to help in that capacity. Parsecboy : Chat 19:43, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

GA nomination for USS Hawaii (CB-3)Hello. I've reviewed the article USS Hawaii (CB-3) for its nomination for Good Article status. I have really one minor prose issue, so I am placing the article on hold for seven days. During my review I also noted some items that I think will enhance the article if you wish to pursue higher assessments. My complete review may be found here. If you have any questions about the review or individual issues I have raised, please note them on the review page (which is on my watchlist) and I will answer them there. When you have addressed the issues I have mentioned, I will be happy to re-evaluate the nomination. Thanks, and good editing. — Bellhalla ( talk) 04:42, 3 April 2009 (UTC) ACR noticeHi Ed, are you going to deal with the "oppose" from the Amagi class battlecruiser A-class review in the next short period?

Request for feedbackHi Ed, if you have time I'd like to ask you a favor. One of my articles is at FAC ( Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Street newspaper) but has not really gotten any comments in a long time, and I'm worried it might get removed without having generated much constructive input for me. I know you have a lot of experience with content-building, and was wondering if you could take a quick look and offer comments/criticism if you have any—I'm asking you because I wanted to get input from some people who I know are talented editors in good standing but whom I'm not necessarily "friends" with, so it doesn't come off as canvassing. Anyway, if you're too busy or if this is not a topic that interests you, I totally understand; I just wanted to check! Best, rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 14:51, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Delivered for the WikiCup by ROBOTIC GARDEN at 17:08, 13 April 2009 (UTC). To report errors see the talk page. Just noticed...One of my posts on Talk:Independence Day (film) was brought to my attention and while looking at it I noticed that it contained a reference to a post that asked questions about what kinds of other planes does the military use. I said that the "plane question" was pointless and didn't refer to the film, and the post has since been removed. Just wanted to let you know that "plane question" was in no way a reference to a post where you ask about what kind of plane was used to film one of the movie's scenes. Anyway, I've deleted the comment since it no longer refers to anything that exists on the page, and just wanted to let you know that it has nothing to do with your question (which is a good one, by the way), in case you may have thought it did. - SoSaysChappy ( talk) 00:07, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

I didn't add unverified information, I tried to introduce some internal consistency with the numbering on the page. Typically pages should have internal consistency for ease of reading, and that page in particular is rife with inconsistencies. Someone should make a decision if the primary mode of measurement is metric or US standard, and then go through and properly organize the page so that it reads XX km/kg (YY mi/lb) or vice versa. It shouldn't switch back and forth every time a measurement is given (like this page does). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.190.134 ( talk) 18:30, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Alaska class cruiserSomeone has taken my drawing and changed various parts (Mk.37 directors and propellers come to mind) of it without contacting me for permission. It has also been converted to PNG and SVG format (something I could have done myself had you contacted me and asked). I don't appreciate the fact that my work has been taken and changed without someone at least asking for my input; I drew the Mk.37s and the propellers that way for a reason. I *do* know what I'm doing concerning drawing. I'm not exactly sure I want to leave my drawing on Wikipedia if people are just going to change it around. Colosseum ( talk) 17:58, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

— Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 00:59, 1 May 2009 (UTC) So you're trying to tell me that, legally, *my* drawing of a ship can't be copyrighted because the ship is real? I think that's a load of bullshit. Either way, I'm pulling the image from Wikipedia. Colosseum ( talk) 01:01, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
You'll have to tell me how to delete an image, cause I can't figure it out. Colosseum ( talk) 01:17, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
I thought about it while in the shower. The article benefits from it and there's really no reason to remove it. As long as my name stays on it it's fine. So never mind. :P I *would* like the Mk.37 directors reverted, though. Jappalang's representation is incorrect. |

I know you have a lot of experience with content-building, and was wondering if you could take a quick look and offer comments/criticism if you have any—I'm asking you because I wanted to get input from some people who I know are talented editors in good standing but whom I'm not necessarily "friends" with, so it doesn't come off as canvassing. Anyway, if you're too busy or if this is not a topic that interests you, I totally understand; I just wanted to check! Best, rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 14:51, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Delivered for the WikiCup by ROBOTIC GARDEN at 17:08, 13 April 2009 (UTC). To report errors see the talk page. Just noticed...One of my posts on Talk:Independence Day (film) was brought to my attention and while looking at it I noticed that it contained a reference to a post that asked questions about what kinds of other planes does the military use. I said that the "plane question" was pointless and didn't refer to the film, and the post has since been removed. Just wanted to let you know that "plane question" was in no way a reference to a post where you ask about what kind of plane was used to film one of the movie's scenes. Anyway, I've deleted the comment since it no longer refers to anything that exists on the page, and just wanted to let you know that it has nothing to do with your question (which is a good one, by the way), in case you may have thought it did. - SoSaysChappy ( talk) 00:07, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

hey EdHi Ed. I'm still working on Railways in Buckinghamshire and was wondering if you could have a quick look over the stuff I've done in the past few days (mainly The Big Four onwards). I'm up to 1948. Just another 60 years to write up! Oliver Fury, Esq. message • contributions 01:21, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Hey Ed. I've a new adoptee, User:Tim Tebow Rocks! who I though was new. When he went offering adoption after being here only a week, I stepped in. However he just told me that he is also the operator of User:Dcollins52. Is that allowed? He's not done any vandalism, as far as I can see. What would you do?

TalkbackTalk:Brazilian battleship Minas Gerais#? I'm resorting to sending you {{ tb}}s via Twinkle out of pure laziness. Forgive me. ;) — La Pianista ♫ ♪ 05:42, 19 April 2009 (UTC) Yamato Class Battleship revisionYou should take a closer look at the edit. I didn't add unverified information, I tried to introduce some internal consistency with the numbering on the page. Typically pages should have internal consistency for ease of reading, and that page in particular is rife with inconsistencies. Someone should make a decision if the primary mode of measurement is metric or US standard, and then go through and properly organize the page so that it reads XX km/kg (YY mi/lb) or vice versa. It shouldn't switch back and forth every time a measurement is given (like this page does). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.190.134 ( talk) 18:30, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

ChildofMidnight ( talk) 20:55, 26 April 2009 (UTC) Polish culture during World War IIIn the past you've copyedited this article once. It has however failed the recent FAC nomination due to objections that this article has not been sufficiently copyedited before and that there are some "prose issues". I'd like to ask you to consider copyediting it again (I am not an native speaker of English so I cannot spot those "prose issues" myself).

Alaska class cruiserSomeone has taken my drawing and changed various parts (Mk.37 directors and propellers come to mind) of it without contacting me for permission. It has also been converted to PNG and SVG format (something I could have done myself had you contacted me and asked). I don't appreciate the fact that my work has been taken and changed without someone at least asking for my input; I drew the Mk.37s and the propellers that way for a reason. I *do* know what I'm doing concerning drawing. I'm not exactly sure I want to leave my drawing on Wikipedia if people are just going to change it around. Colosseum ( talk) 17:58, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
I'll reupload the image in .PNG format in its original scale. I will then change the copyright so that no one may modify it except myself. I'd rather avoid this situation again. Colosseum ( talk) 00:42, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
— Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 00:59, 1 May 2009 (UTC) So you're trying to tell me that, legally, *my* drawing of a ship can't be copyrighted because the ship is real? I think that's a load of bullshit. Either way, I'm pulling the image from Wikipedia. Colosseum ( talk) 01:01, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
You'll have to tell me how to delete an image, cause I can't figure it out. Colosseum ( talk) 01:17, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
I thought about it while in the shower. The article benefits from it and there's really no reason to remove it. As long as my name stays on it it's fine. So never mind. :P I *would* like the Mk.37 directors reverted, though. Jappalang's representation is incorrect. |
