While looking for some photos of war memorials, I came across a batch that had been uploaded on Commons from the Imperial War Museum archives, do an "exact term" search (using quote marks) for "War Memorials of the First World War" in the image namespace on Commons, and you get all 56 of them. All taken by Horace Nicholls (1867-1941) and the license looks OK for all of them. I don't have time to do much more than dump most of them in commons:Category:World War I memorials in the United Kingdom (some were already in subcategories of that category, so not all of them are there), and to create a gallery of all 56 in a subpage in my userspace on Commons: see here. Maybe you might find some useful images there? Carcharoth ( talk) 19:53, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for reminding me that the Machine Gun Corps Memorial was moved too. Just far enough to get it out of way of the wider carriageway, I think. But now I recall that the Royal Naval Division Memorial was moved too, before being put back where it started. I wonder if we can find an image of it while it was in Greenwich.
Most of the change in the background of the Royal Fusiliers War Memorial is accounted for by three things: the demolition of the buildings around and past Holborn Circus which had suffered bomb damage in the war, revealing the view of St Andrew Holborn; the replacement of the Gamages buildings (which were on the left, with the sun blinds, past the red Prudential Assurance Building aka Holborn Bars; and the replacement of the buildings to the right on either side of New Fetter Lane - the nearer stone one just past the entrance to Barnard's Inn and the next one which is now the Sainsbury's HQ, which was built for Andersen on the former site of the Daily Mirror's print works. Some of the post-war buildings have already been replaced. Theramin ( talk) 00:44, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
Dropping a note here to point out this edit I made regarding the new online CWGC archive, as I thought it might be of interest, particularly the digitised minutes and older annual reports. You can search for all the cemeteries Lutyens worked on, for example, though the actual records are mostly not digitised yet. @ Theramin: as well, as might be of interest to them.

Hello- Dear oversight User:HJ Mitchell, thank you for you email. I know some about this situation. If possible, I'd like to hide my personal information (edits) from others. Life in Iran is so complicated, as you said "it is not a problem living in Iran", I should have said that it is a huge problem for some people. That's just because of its Islamic Republic government's harsh policy against atheists and some non-Muslims, Bahá'ís, LGBTs, irreligious people and etc. As you well know, the safety of editors and their personal life and independence is so important to the foundation. Editions I'd like to hide:

Hi Harry @ HJ Mitchell:,
I'm writing to ask whether you would consider having a look at the article. I'm aware that you've been involved with a few PRs before. I've given it a major rewrite and complete overhaul. I began working on the article late October when it looked like this and somehow ended up rewriting the whole thing and aiming for potentially FA. This isn't a process I've been through before, but I have been reading the reviews here in preparation, and am familiar with FAC demands. I would very much appreciate a fresh set of eyes and happily address any concerns you may have.
Thanks! Pseud 14 ( talk) 13:09, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time. For the co-ordinators, MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 08:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Harry, would you consider reducing the protection level on WP:Introduction? You put it straight up to full protection from pending changes in January 2011, but in fact all the unwanted edits in the month prior to that would have been stopped by semi-. Meanwhile the full protection is obstructing uncontroversial updates like the change from Save to Publish which has just been implemented, and chilling a few improvements proposed on the talk page over the years : Noyster (talk), 14:02, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi there! Maybe you still know me from the FAC of the article above some time ago. I would love to see that article reach FA status sometime in the future; would you have time to work with me on Unlocked a bit? Maybe you can list some issues you found on its talk page? Best regards, Cartoon network freak ( talk) 17:46, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
Hey, if you've got any time would you be able to look over Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine? I've started a PR for it in an attempt to get it to FA class. Cheers, Anarchyte ( work | talk) 04:55, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi HJ Mitchell , I reduced the protection on this page from 25 to 10 days, I expect once the work/school year is back in normal rotation activity will return to normal levels there. Feel free to renew/extend at the end of the period as needed. Best regards, — xaosflux Talk 19:42, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
"I have no objection to my actions being reversed, as long you leave me a polite note explaining what you did and why"statement above, which is why I didn't start a conversation first. While we obviously disagree on the appropriate length, I reverted my change to your protection duration and do not wish to debate it further. Happy editing, — xaosflux Talk 23:17, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

One that might interest you, there is a Crimean War peace memorial in Attleborough, Norfolk. One of a few in the UK. It is a listed building. Mjroots ( talk) 12:34, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
At Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 11, 2018, I added "on the recommendation of Historic England"... I'm thinking we should mention whichever organization was most influential in the decision, and I'm not positive who that would be. I took a guess. - Dank ( push to talk) 18:54, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
