Hi Euryalus, Happy New Year. Note: I still remember that when I was taught to spell in Australia (it never really took all that well), in the mid to late 1950s, it was "i-ZED-e-d". Times change. Regards, Acad Ronin ( talk) 22:48, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
That IP is a longtime troll and nothing they do should be taken seriously. I am actually also working on the article at the moment as well. — DangerousJXD ( talk) 11:39, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
On 4 January 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article HMS Stork (1756), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 10-gun sloop-of-war HMS Stork was originally designed to resemble King George II's yacht Royal Caroline? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/HMS Stork (1756). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, HMS Stork (1756)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hey there, quick question, Per Motion, the Arbitration committee has specifically said:
–Administrators are not permitted to remove the extendedconfirmed user group as a discretionary sanction. −Administrators must not remove the extendedconfirmed user group as means of bypassing defined arbitration enforcement procedures (for example, removing the user group as a normal administrative action to avoid banning an editor from the Gamergate controversy article.
Your removal seems to be counter to that motion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.40.144.21 ( talk) 13:04, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi there
You deleted the article Emporium Melbourne last August. Could you please restore it to Draft:Emporium Melbourne so I can see whether the article can be brought up to scratch? There is clearly some interest in it with several previous attempts and numerous articles linking there.
Many thanks. — sroc 💬 15:15, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you! Marlo Jonesa ( talk) 22:30, 11 January 2017 (UTC) |
First of all, thanks for intervening in my argument with Beyond My Ken. I agree that letting it continue the way it had been going wasn't likely to be productive.
That said, I'm concerned about what the eventual outcome will be if we just cut if off. As I mentioned in that thread, I have past experience with other editors following me from one discussion to another, assuming bad faith about all of my edits. When that happens and nothing is done to address the root issue, it can go on for years.
In this case my concern is that the same argument, about whether the circumstances of my 2010 topic ban excuse other editors from having to assume good faith about any of my edits, will just resume on some future talk page where I decide to participate. (And that's something else I've experienced in the past.) Short of requesting an interaction ban, can you think of any way to avert that outcome? -- Captain Occam ( talk) 07:49, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi there. I am lead writer for the Signpost's "Arbitration Report" and am wondering if you would be interested in answering some interviews questions as a newly elected Arbitrator.

Questions
|
---|
1. What was the single most important reason you wanted to join ArbCom? 2. What are your thoughts on the outcomes to cases from the previous year? Did you think they were handled the best that they could have? Why? 3. Personally I felt that last year there was barely anything the committee did, with 2016 only having five cases that went through. Compared to 2015’s eighteen cases and 2014’s eleven, is it to be expected that the committee is more strict on choosing which cases get accepted? 4. What would you say would be the challenges while holding this position? GamerPro64 03:30, 31 January 2017 (UTC) |
Ports removal noted - what makes transport any better? maritime issues on wp have never seemed to survive various very weird shifts and changes - whats next? JarrahTree 10:16, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Ports was in fact a useful separation, and what with ships and its imperial drift 5 to 7 years ago, it was going and swallowing heaps of things that didnt relate to it - and now maritime task force ? - smells what ships was trying to do then - grab bag scope well beyond its means - at least some bright spark hasnt swallowed up shipwrecks (yet) - (sorry to sound so disparaging) - imho maritime history (never left the blocks unfortunately), shipwrecks and maritime trades should have been kept well clear of transport and ships - monsters with little subtlety and unable to to accommodate the nuances and issues relating to the scope and subject areas. Just thoughts as you have removed the ports... no hard personal feelings, just ruminating on the weirdness of some of the quirks of wp en... JarrahTree 10:29, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for such a positive response to a blithering old idiot like me - having started the Australan Maritime History project (still active and working) I was keen to have an umbrella for that and the Irish - I had put up a proposal at the council for a maritime history project - but realise that it died on the proposal (I think I had real life issues at the time that didnt allow me the chance to develop it or proseltyse for it) from this long distance view (I had forgotten you and Haus had been the sole props so to speak...for the earlier two, my sincerest apology for my casting aspersions) this all feels like my attempt after the Hong Kong wikimania to argue for the resurrection of either the espionage and intelligence projects (both were moribund at the time) - I think the whole thing went the wrong way (imho) - big problem, an idea, even if it is a potentially good one, doesnt necessarily get traction... With the loss of ports and the maritime task force and current situation, I'd need to get back to you - still thinking, but once again - thank you for your tolerance of my opinionated judgement - it is appreciated JarrahTree 11:18, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Happy New Year, Euryalus! In regard to this edit, if you have your prefs set to see hidden categories, you will note that your edit landed the redirect back into Category:Unsynchronized talk page redirects. I've been emptying that category because, as you know, talk page redirect targets should be in sync with their subject pages' targets. In this case the subject page targets a ship index, and Talk:Scarborough (East Indiaman), the synchronized target, does not exist. I try to get to these to get them deleted, so wouldn't the correct procedure be to CSD (G8) the redirect at Talk:Scarborough (ship)? Paine Ellsworth u/ c 17:21, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

This seems odd - you should either capitalize both of equestrian and statue, or neither. Personally, I'd treat it as a proper name. Equestrian statue of Genghis Khan is actually the route many articles take (try the WP search), but maybe not so easy to find. Johnbod ( talk) 11:54, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

@ Euryalus: I initially made my first edit to their talk page back in December 2016 asking them to stop - at that time they weren't blocked. They never replied to my message when they were unblocked, it was only after they were blocked that they started to reply. So I decided to reply and I tried to tell them that there are sources there to support the information so you can't remove blocked information. Their latest message showed me that they didn't really do much, instead they started to cuss at me. That's why I brought it to the Wikipedia Admin noticeboard. ( 110.148.124.58 ( talk) 11:29, 9 February 2017 (UTC))
Just wanted to give you an FYI, the section you closed Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Bad faith user just had a response 2 days later from the subject: [4]. RickinBaltimore ( talk) 14:52, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
Since there appears to be a common - somewhat offhanded-manner - tendency not to follow my complaints, I will again make my point here: you will see no more contributions from my side exactly because User:Alexbrn and the others have successfully purged any trace of the edits that I made to Big Pharma, Big Pharma (disambiguation) (deleted) and Big Pharma conspiracy theory. There is not a trace left. Not on the pages, nor on the talk pages (where I had given the reasons with references for my edits shortly after Alexbrn left me his first blunt message on my talk page. He calls himself a "dragon" who will boldly edit anything on his user page. I grant him that he does not bear this signature for nothing. I repeat here: My edits were irretrievably deleted, all that remains are traces of my page moves. This is what I call silencing. And I cannot but feel sneered at when he says that I have no right to WP:OWNERSHIP which is exactly the right that he has exercised for the good of his own article. Far from expecting (or believing) that my own contributions are treated as sacred I have a good mind to officially doubt the neutrality of WP here, especially since the topic we have been touching on appears to be one of particular subtlety. Please take a few minutes to ponder that. -- Kku ( talk) 11:03, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi again. I have made a new proposal at the talk page and I would appreciate it if you could now offer your opinion. Thank you. Linguist talk| contribs 18:26, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
I think the CSD A7 proposal at https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Raleigh_Black&type=revision&diff=766089858&oldid=766088561 really needed something more than an edit summary - it is a clear misuse of the CSD A7 rules, and I have been pulled up on CSD misapplication at new pages a few times myself: one of the things at speedy and new pages [5] - when in doubt dont do it is the message - and I suspect talkpage and edit history suggests leniency is being too kind JarrahTree 01:47, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi there Euryalus, I'm unsure why you reverted this edit of the NSW Department of Planning and Environment. I have today made further edits to the page including additional references.

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.
For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert ( talk) & MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

In this speedy decline, you say "Unfortunately speedy declined as has previously been nominated and tag removed. Please feel free to send to Prod or afd." It appears that the sole basis for declining the deletion was that it had been previously nominated. I'm not familiar with any limitations on speedy deletions being a one-shot process (unlike WP:PROD which is a one-shot process). Can you point me to that guideline?

Just a quick "well done" for your recent edit over at the dog meat and lychee festival article. I actually emailed the functionaries about this just minutes after the posting, but for whatever reasons, they did not take action or reply. I considered taking it to AN/I but I felt that would attract way too much attention. Anyway, it is sorted now. The editor may need a word from someone about possibly using their real name and how risky this can be. DrChrissy (talk) 16:52, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

I Just logged in today after my last edit on 24 January only to find out that I have been banned from editing Horn of African pages. For the last 4 months I stayed away from Wikipedia because some of the editors treated me like I have nothing to say. All I did was to discuss with them politely and try to convince them so that we reach consensus by providing them multiple convincing points supported by reliable sources (almost all sources I use are neutral sources) written by well known scholars. However, I was bullied by some of these editors. They push for my indefinite block but none of them explained to me clearly by giving example diffs and clarify on how it violates Wikipedia rules, if indeed there is one I violated. llywrch in AN/I, regarding to the politics of Ethiopia said "....in that land tend to be settled not thru words or appeals to reason, but with fists, bullets, & extralegal measures.) In short, there be monsters & landmines here, & many people who might be attracted to improving articles on Ethiopia -- which is understandable, since it is a fascinating country rich in culture & history -- will find themselves getting their fingers burned not only by falling into an example of (2), but knowing little or nothing about it due to (1).". [9]. I agree with him and is the reason why I make long arguments with some of the editors, some even created multiple accounts to push for their agenda. Anyways, I have not checked Ethiopia related articles for 4 months and I will begin reviewing recent edits and for any issues I observe I will report to you or to other editors who specializes in Ethiopian articles and may be they will do the correction. However, one issue is that, as Llywrch said, there are very few Wikipedia editors monitoring Ethiopia (a nation with 100 million people with over 80 ethnic-groups) related pages, and those very few are not interested to tell history from all sides. I will appreciate it if you can give me a second chance and review my contributions. In the future may be I will make proposals to you or any other editors before I make any edits. As I used to do before I will support the proposals with quotes from Google books and will only add or make correction after editors seen the quotes themselves and when consensus is achieved.

Hi Euryalus, while working on Orpheus (1794 ship) I discovered that she had in 1826 transported the troops and their families of the (Royal?) "New South Wales Veterans" Companies/Corps to Sydney. This was a military unit of about 150 men. It was made up of veterans who agreed to join what would be a garrison unit in New South Wales. After the unit arrived in Sydney in 1826 it performed guard and other light duties until it was disbanded in 1833. WP does not have an article on this unit. Do you have any more/other info on it? Regards, Acad Ronin ( talk) 14:26, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative (led by the Safety and Support and Anti-Harassment Tools team) is conducting a survey for en.wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with the Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works - which problems it deals with well, and which problems it struggles with.
The survey should take 10-20 minutes to answer, and your individual responses will not be made public. The survey is delivered through Google Forms. The privacy policy for the survey describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants and can be found here:

Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2017 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
In his failed recent unban request, Delta admitted [17] to currently using a no-edit account to "use the watchlist feature, do some exports and occasionally view the source of a page to copy or for technical reasons." Is he permitted to do that, especially because he didn't disclose the account's identity? Hill Crest's WikiLaser! ( BOOM!) 21:09, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
An editor who is site-banned is forbidden from making any , anywhere on Wikipedia, via any account or as an unregistered user, under any and all circumstances." (emphasis added). This section also references banned editors being expected to "
leave Wikipedia."
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)

Greetings,
"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

On 4 January 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article HMS Stork (1756), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 10-gun sloop-of-war HMS Stork was originally designed to resemble King George II's yacht Royal Caroline? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/HMS Stork (1756). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, HMS Stork (1756)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hey there, quick question, Per Motion, the Arbitration committee has specifically said:
–Administrators are not permitted to remove the extendedconfirmed user group as a discretionary sanction. −Administrators must not remove the extendedconfirmed user group as means of bypassing defined arbitration enforcement procedures (for example, removing the user group as a normal administrative action to avoid banning an editor from the Gamergate controversy article.
Your removal seems to be counter to that motion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.40.144.21 ( talk) 13:04, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

You deleted the article Emporium Melbourne last August. Could you please restore it to Draft:Emporium Melbourne so I can see whether the article can be brought up to scratch? There is clearly some interest in it with several previous attempts and numerous articles linking there.

Thank you! Marlo Jonesa ( talk) 22:30, 11 January 2017 (UTC) |
First of all, thanks for intervening in my argument with Beyond My Ken. I agree that letting it continue the way it had been going wasn't likely to be productive.
That said, I'm concerned about what the eventual outcome will be if we just cut if off. As I mentioned in that thread, I have past experience with other editors following me from one discussion to another, assuming bad faith about all of my edits. When that happens and nothing is done to address the root issue, it can go on for years.
In this case my concern is that the same argument, about whether the circumstances of my 2010 topic ban excuse other editors from having to assume good faith about any of my edits, will just resume on some future talk page where I decide to participate. (And that's something else I've experienced in the past.) Short of requesting an interaction ban, can you think of any way to avert that outcome? -- Captain Occam ( talk) 07:49, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Questions
|
---|
1. What was the single most important reason you wanted to join ArbCom? 2. What are your thoughts on the outcomes to cases from the previous year? Did you think they were handled the best that they could have? Why? 3. Personally I felt that last year there was barely anything the committee did, with 2016 only having five cases that went through. Compared to 2015’s eighteen cases and 2014’s eleven, is it to be expected that the committee is more strict on choosing which cases get accepted? 4. What would you say would be the challenges while holding this position? GamerPro64 03:30, 31 January 2017 (UTC) |
Ports removal noted - what makes transport any better? maritime issues on wp have never seemed to survive various very weird shifts and changes - whats next? JarrahTree 10:16, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Ports was in fact a useful separation, and what with ships and its imperial drift 5 to 7 years ago, it was going and swallowing heaps of things that didnt relate to it - and now maritime task force ? - smells what ships was trying to do then - grab bag scope well beyond its means - at least some bright spark hasnt swallowed up shipwrecks (yet) - (sorry to sound so disparaging) - imho maritime history (never left the blocks unfortunately), shipwrecks and maritime trades should have been kept well clear of transport and ships - monsters with little subtlety and unable to to accommodate the nuances and issues relating to the scope and subject areas. Just thoughts as you have removed the ports... no hard personal feelings, just ruminating on the weirdness of some of the quirks of wp en... JarrahTree 10:29, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for such a positive response to a blithering old idiot like me - having started the Australan Maritime History project (still active and working) I was keen to have an umbrella for that and the Irish - I had put up a proposal at the council for a maritime history project - but realise that it died on the proposal (I think I had real life issues at the time that didnt allow me the chance to develop it or proseltyse for it) from this long distance view (I had forgotten you and Haus had been the sole props so to speak...for the earlier two, my sincerest apology for my casting aspersions) this all feels like my attempt after the Hong Kong wikimania to argue for the resurrection of either the espionage and intelligence projects (both were moribund at the time) - I think the whole thing went the wrong way (imho) - big problem, an idea, even if it is a potentially good one, doesnt necessarily get traction... With the loss of ports and the maritime task force and current situation, I'd need to get back to you - still thinking, but once again - thank you for your tolerance of my opinionated judgement - it is appreciated JarrahTree 11:18, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Happy New Year, Euryalus! In regard to this edit, if you have your prefs set to see hidden categories, you will note that your edit landed the redirect back into Category:Unsynchronized talk page redirects. I've been emptying that category because, as you know, talk page redirect targets should be in sync with their subject pages' targets. In this case the subject page targets a ship index, and Talk:Scarborough (East Indiaman), the synchronized target, does not exist. I try to get to these to get them deleted, so wouldn't the correct procedure be to CSD (G8) the redirect at Talk:Scarborough (ship)? Paine Ellsworth u/ c 17:21, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

@ Euryalus: I initially made my first edit to their talk page back in December 2016 asking them to stop - at that time they weren't blocked. They never replied to my message when they were unblocked, it was only after they were blocked that they started to reply. So I decided to reply and I tried to tell them that there are sources there to support the information so you can't remove blocked information. Their latest message showed me that they didn't really do much, instead they started to cuss at me. That's why I brought it to the Wikipedia Admin noticeboard. ( 110.148.124.58 ( talk) 11:29, 9 February 2017 (UTC))

Since there appears to be a common - somewhat offhanded-manner - tendency not to follow my complaints, I will again make my point here: you will see no more contributions from my side exactly because User:Alexbrn and the others have successfully purged any trace of the edits that I made to Big Pharma, Big Pharma (disambiguation) (deleted) and Big Pharma conspiracy theory. There is not a trace left. Not on the pages, nor on the talk pages (where I had given the reasons with references for my edits shortly after Alexbrn left me his first blunt message on my talk page. He calls himself a "dragon" who will boldly edit anything on his user page. I grant him that he does not bear this signature for nothing. I repeat here: My edits were irretrievably deleted, all that remains are traces of my page moves. This is what I call silencing. And I cannot but feel sneered at when he says that I have no right to WP:OWNERSHIP which is exactly the right that he has exercised for the good of his own article. Far from expecting (or believing) that my own contributions are treated as sacred I have a good mind to officially doubt the neutrality of WP here, especially since the topic we have been touching on appears to be one of particular subtlety. Please take a few minutes to ponder that. -- Kku ( talk) 11:03, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

I think the CSD A7 proposal at https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Raleigh_Black&type=revision&diff=766089858&oldid=766088561 really needed something more than an edit summary - it is a clear misuse of the CSD A7 rules, and I have been pulled up on CSD misapplication at new pages a few times myself: one of the things at speedy and new pages [5] - when in doubt dont do it is the message - and I suspect talkpage and edit history suggests leniency is being too kind JarrahTree 01:47, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

In this speedy decline, you say "Unfortunately speedy declined as has previously been nominated and tag removed. Please feel free to send to Prod or afd." It appears that the sole basis for declining the deletion was that it had been previously nominated.

Just a quick "well done" for your recent edit over at the dog meat and lychee festival article. I actually emailed the functionaries about this just minutes after the posting, but for whatever reasons, they did not take action or reply.

I Just logged in today after my last edit on 24 January only to find out that I have been banned from editing Horn of African pages. For the last 4 months I stayed away from Wikipedia because some of the editors treated me like I have nothing to say. All I did was to discuss with them politely and try to convince them so that we reach consensus by providing them multiple convincing points supported by reliable sources (almost all sources I use are neutral sources) written by well known scholars. However, I was bullied by some of these editors. They push for my indefinite block but none of them explained to me clearly by giving example diffs and clarify on how it violates Wikipedia rules, if indeed there is one I violated. llywrch in AN/I, regarding to the politics of Ethiopia said "....in that land tend to be settled not thru words or appeals to reason, but with fists, bullets, & extralegal measures.) In short, there be monsters & landmines here, & many people who might be attracted to improving articles on Ethiopia -- which is understandable, since it is a fascinating country rich in culture & history -- will find themselves getting their fingers burned not only by falling into an example of (2), but knowing little or nothing about it due to (1).". [9]. I agree with him and is the reason why I make long arguments with some of the editors, some even created multiple accounts to push for their agenda. Anyways, I have not checked Ethiopia related articles for 4 months and I will begin reviewing recent edits and for any issues I observe I will report to you or to other editors who specializes in Ethiopian articles and may be they will do the correction. However, one issue is that, as Llywrch said, there are very few Wikipedia editors monitoring Ethiopia (a nation with 100 million people with over 80 ethnic-groups) related pages, and those very few are not interested to tell history from all sides. I will appreciate it if you can give me a second chance and review my contributions. In the future may be I will make proposals to you or any other editors before I make any edits. As I used to do before I will support the proposals with quotes from Google books and will only add or make correction after editors seen the quotes themselves and when consensus is achieved.

Oh, wait, it's a one-way IBAN? So I don't even get a chance to defend myself from anything that might be said about me by the other party? It gets better and better.... The Rambling Man ( talk) 13:17, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited HMS Royal James (1671), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anthony Deane ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Euryalus, while working on Orpheus (1794 ship) I discovered that she had in 1826 transported the troops and their families of the (Royal?) "New South Wales Veterans" Companies/Corps to Sydney. This was a military unit of about 150 men. It was made up of veterans who agreed to join what would be a garrison unit in New South Wales. After the unit arrived in Sydney in 1826 it performed guard and other light duties until it was disbanded in 1833. WP does not have an article on this unit. Do you have any more/other info on it? Regards, Acad Ronin ( talk) 14:26, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
@
Acad Ronin: actually I think I do somewhere. Not much, but I recall reading a few pars at least while writing
William Baker (colonist). It's 1.30 am here so I'll have a look in the morning. Good luck with Orpheus in the mean time. --

'Little Cassiobury', where Bladen Capel resided was on the edge of the estate.[ [14]] I think the niece in question lived in the main house.[ [15]] Like you though, I find it all a bit off-topic and wonder whether that information wouldn't be more at home in either Cassiobury House or Cassiobury Park. No strong feelings either way though. Regards-- Ykraps ( talk) 12:06, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative (led by the Safety and Support and Anti-Harassment Tools team) is conducting a survey for en.wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with the Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works - which problems it deals with well, and which problems it struggles with.
The survey should take 10-20 minutes to answer, and your individual responses will not be made public. The survey is delivered through Google Forms. The privacy policy for the survey describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants and can be found here:
If you would like to take this survey, please sign up on this page, and a link for the survey will be mailed to you via Special:Emailuser.

This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2017 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
In his failed recent unban request, Delta admitted [17] to currently using a no-edit account to "use the watchlist feature, do some exports and occasionally view the source of a page to copy or for technical reasons." Is he permitted to do that, especially because he didn't disclose the account's identity? Hill Crest's WikiLaser! ( BOOM!) 21:09, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
An editor who is site-banned is forbidden from making any , anywhere on Wikipedia, via any account or as an unregistered user, under any and all circumstances." (emphasis added). This section also references banned editors being expected to "
leave Wikipedia."
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)
