Hi, I've noticed you reducing several NEE articles from B-class to start: it seems that a user was enthusiastically adding B-class to several hundred articles just over five years ago. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 16:54, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Keith D
I hope you enjoyed your holiday
Thanks for the help request for RAF Bempton
On the RAF Warwick article there is a notice at the top saying something about prose, I have had a look at the help page but its a bit confusing. Do you know what it means?

Hello again
I am currently working on an article for RAF Thorney Island (which is in my sandbox " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gavbadger/sandbox") but it's the first time i have created a such large article from scratch and i cannot find a good way to format it.
Another editor said to have the major units within a table but what is a major unit because the squadron change quite rapidly.
Have you got any good ideas? (Thanks in advance)

Hi, I'm working on the quality scale for the WikiProject Warwickshire and currently on Willoughby, Warwickshire and i am not sure if it is worth B or C class because their is a section that has a section lacking citations template and there are five citation missing templates throughout the article.
I think it's worth between B or C class but closer to B.
What do you think?
Gavbadger ( talk) 20:51, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Keith, i placed a WikiProject Warwickshire articles by quality and importance graph on the WP:Warwickshire project page but it doesn't seem to update as i have changed two ratings in the last 30 minutess but the graph has not updated yet, the tool on a different website has updated
Any ideas what i did wrong?

Good Evening
I'm doing the quality review for Kineton and it passes B2-B5 but B1 has me a bit confused, the article has four references (2 websites, 2 books) and nine external links but B1 says about is it reference suitably, can four references be suitable? I'm thinking of giving it C class until more references can be found. What do you think?
Gavbadger ( talk) 23:08, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi, i got my recently created RAF Thorney Island article assessed and i failed on B1 but passed B2-B5. If there are "citation needed" tags on the article would that be a fail for B1?

Thanks Keith. I just added my name to the list. I had to email the paper lad. That woke him up!!-- Harkey ( talk) 17:58, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Keith,
Just started this page, unfortunately, after developing it I found I'd stupidly got the name wrong (Walkerith). Walkerith doesn't have its own page but is mentioned on East Stockwith, where I got the idea from. I couldn't move the page as it diverts back to East Stockwith. I think there is just enough for its own article, as it is a distinct settlement and 1.5 miles away from Stockwith - further away, and with more info than some with separate articles I've seen. If you think it's worth it, can you expedite a move. Many thanks.

Good Afternoon Keith
I want to move/merge Mepal Airfield to RAF Mepal but i'm not sure how to do it and also does the history page move with it?
Gavbadger ( talk) 11:33, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
You restored the word "Roman" to the article Carthusian, even though Wikipedia throughout uses the term "Catholic" in preference to "Roman Catholic" (and this has been heavily discussed before being agreed upon, as you can see in the talk page for Catholic Church). Moreover, the links you modified the article to point to are simply redirects to "Catholic Church" and Religious Institute (Catholic), both of which reflect this site's practice of preferring not to use the term "Roman Catholic". I can see an argument for making an exception in the context of ecumenical discussion, when the word "Catholic" may come across as obscure in certain contexts, however an article dedicated to a contemplative order of monks is most certainly not such an ambiguous case. (If you disagree with the consensus, I hope you will participate in the larger discussion rather than go about reverting less-followed articles in the hopes that most of the participating editors will not see them.) -- 194.98.58.121 ( talk) 14:34, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Keith D
I've been tinkering with the RAF Jurby article and wanted your opinion on the Timeline section. Do you think that particular section would pass B quality scale review?
If no would a table be better?
P.s and yes i know the citations are terrible throught the section and article.

I didn't know you can move your sandbox to a article. Are you even allowed to?

Dear Keith, apologies if you are the wrong person to ask but you're one of the few admins I "know". I have a silly dispute going on here where the other user may well be right, but does not seem to want to know about how we do references, and does not engage with my attempts to communicate. (So it's not really a dispute per se, more sort of shadow boxing.) I feel that I am trying in my feeble way to do the right thing but getting nowhere with it, and I'm having a terrible attack of Can't Really Be Bothered (please see username). Is there something else I can try; can you help; shall I just forget it; or what? I'm only really objecting on principle to the other editor's or editors' behaviour - which is literally ignorant but quite possibly not pejoratively so! - obviously I don't really give a monkey's about this chap's surname in the real world and Western civilization will not collapse if I just give up ... please advise ... with thanks and best wishes DBaK ( talk) 10:13, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Keith D
When you have a few minutes spare can you re-assess Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield please. I have had up for assessment on the aviation wikiproject for a while now and it still hasn't been assessed. The article should be a b-class. Thank you Gavbadger ( talk) 21:08, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your tags on this new article. I created it because it seemed necessary to complete the Morris Motors / Nuffield group article but I am hopelessly handicapped by lack of knowledge about what I guess is called Production Engineering. Anything I wrote would be shot down at once. Do you know of anyone with sufficient knowledge of the subject and if so I could draw their attnetion to it. Thanks if you can help, Eddaido ( talk) 22:45, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi I'm assessing HMS Howe for B class over at Mil-Hist and apparently the lead section does not need references as the information and references are already in the body
