Anne, I'm hoping I didnt lose your nights work by renaming an article. If so then I do apologise. However you should always be able to save your edits if it is only an edit conflict. If you press cnth A, cntl c and then paste into a text editor then you can paste it all back once the situation has calmed.

Hello Anne. Let me first congratulate you on all the wonderful work you've been doing on Gibraltar. I have also appreciated your very sensible comments in discussions, last but not least in connection with the witch hunt on Flat Bastion Road. May I simply suggest that you implement your proposal to improve the article by deleting irrelevant information, perhaps also expanding on the basis of the authorative sources you seem to have identified. Maybe a tie up with the article you have written on Flat Bastion would also be in order. In so doing, you will probably take the wind out of the sails of those who would like to see the article deleted. Keep up the good work! -- Ipigott ( talk) 08:44, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Was checking up on a few things after returning to Wikipedia after a fairly long break, and I was wondering if you had seen the comments I left here?
Also, I was intrigued to see the article on a single Cross of Sacrifice that you did at Gibraltar Cross of Sacrifice. This may not be the best time for me to say it (judging from some other comments I see on this page about some other articles and notability), but I'm not entirely convinced that having a separate article for a single Cross of Sacrifice (of which there were many) is the right approach. Large chunks of the text would apply to any Cross of Sacrifice and the article could be shortened quite considerably if the reader is left to get that information from the Cross of Sacrifice article (which needs work done on it). I see that the Gibraltar Memorial has a section in North Front Cemetery, as does the Gibraltar Cross of Sacrifice. I'm left wondering why it needs to be a separate article. There were a couple of other things I noticed as well while looking through the article - would you mind if I pointed those out?

Lovely work on Gibraltar, thanks for your efforts!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:11, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello Anne. Let me first congratulate you on all the wonderful work you've been doing on Gibraltar. I have also appreciated your very sensible comments in discussions, last but not least in connection with the witch hunt on Flat Bastion Road. May I simply suggest that you implement your proposal to improve the article by deleting irrelevant information, perhaps also expanding on the basis of the authorative sources you seem to have identified. Maybe a tie up with the article you have written on Flat Bastion would also be in order. In so doing, you will probably take the wind out of the sails of those who would like to see the article deleted. Keep up the good work! -- Ipigott ( talk) 08:44, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
After a deletion review, a recently closed AFD has been relisted. I am contacting everyone who participated the first time who hasn't found their way there already. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flat Bastion Road (2nd nomination) Dream Focus 08:13, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Please be aware that some editors who did not participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Did you know/GibraltarPediA Options are suggesting that a moratorium on Gibraltar-related DYKs should be imposed, overturning the earlier agreement. This would impact some of your nominated DYK articles. If you have any views on this, please feel free to comment at Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Time-sensitive DYK nomination.

Was checking up on a few things after returning to Wikipedia after a fairly long break, and I was wondering if you had seen the comments I left here?
Also, I was intrigued to see the article on a single Cross of Sacrifice that you did at Gibraltar Cross of Sacrifice. This may not be the best time for me to say it (judging from some other comments I see on this page about some other articles and notability), but I'm not entirely convinced that having a separate article for a single Cross of Sacrifice (of which there were many) is the right approach. Large chunks of the text would apply to any Cross of Sacrifice and the article could be shortened quite considerably if the reader is left to get that information from the Cross of Sacrifice article (which needs work done on it). I see that the Gibraltar Memorial has a section in North Front Cemetery, as does the Gibraltar Cross of Sacrifice. I'm left wondering why it needs to be a separate article. There were a couple of other things I noticed as well while looking through the article - would you mind if I pointed those out?
On a lighter note, I was pleased to see the Kipling quote. Have a read of The King's Pilgrimage for more on that. Carcharoth ( talk) 23:18, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
