[edit] Knight Bachelor Insignia

Good job. Please would you colour it? - Kittybrewster 09:51, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revert

Wiki does have a policy about using revert Please try to follow the rules like the rest of us. Alci12 23:26, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Posting a comment on the talk would have done the job

As to the issue it is that in articles with long lists of office holders people may read to the bottom or go straight to the bottom (as I did) then decide to click on the incumbent. Yet what you find is you have to go all the way back to the top. It seemed a fair exception to the general rule of not repeating links to have the present holder linked at the bottom as well. Failing that the bottom seems the most obvious place and the other articles seem to follow that pattern so removing the top link would have been more consistent Alci12 23:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] St John Orders

Thanks for your discussion on other pages about restructuring the St John Order articles. I'm not sure if you saw my suggestions there. How about something with an article for each of these. This would cover the St John Orders, and similar structure could be given to the Lazarite Orders.

• Alliance of Orders of St John

• Order of Malta

The Four Main Protestant Orders

• Balley Brandenburg ("Johanniterorden")
• Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem
• Johanniterorden I Sverige
• Johanniter Orde in Nederland

The Four non-German Commanderies of the Bailiwick of Brandenburg

• Swiss Commandery of the Order of St John
• French Commandery of the Order of St John
• Hungarian Commandery of the Order of St John
• Finnish Commandery of the Order of St John

If we had an article for each of the starred items, that should cover the topic pretty well. The origins of the Hospitaller Orders in general could either be covered under the SMOM or possibly under the alliance. Thanks! --dave-- 14:55, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Donald Bradman

I'm surprised by your cite request. I don't think you'll find a single cricket source published since World War Two that would say anything different. --Dweller 09:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

After some brief chat on the talk page there, I came up with the idea of finding a source that said that Bradman is universally acclaimed. The source is now included in the article. Thanks! --Dweller 13:38, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

You might also be interested to see why such an apparently POV tag is appropriate. Bradman's dominance of cricket far exceeds Michael Jordan's in basketball - there's a statistical comparison at Donald Bradman#Context. --Dweller 13:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heraldry re Lyon etc

Using both college and court or Kings is certainly better than using one of each which just looked indecisive. I've wikified so we have easy access to the sources Alci12 17:31, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ralph Bigland

On 20 December 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ralph Bigland, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Gremlins

I must apologize for the unintentional slight. I was not speaking of you as an archive gremlin, but rather the force you intended to release... Glad to meet you, either way. v/r, Hammon27 16:42, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Request for Adminship

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Sir Colin Cole and John Brooke-Little.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sir Colin Cole and John Brooke-Little.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then you need to specify who owns the copyright, please. If you got it from a website, then a link to the website where it was taken from with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:48, 14 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 81.193.153.237 19:48, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adam Bruce on DYK

On 21 January 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Adam Bruce, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

You did good work on the Adam Bruce article as well. House of Scandal 22:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I've just posted on House of Scandal's user page but if you could keep an eye out for people re-adding 'the hon' to the main intro it would be helpful Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(biographies)#Honorific_prefixes Alci12 16:38, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Heraldists

I don't think "heraldist" is a word. Do you mean "heralds"? Or do you mean "people interested in heraldry"? —Ashley Y 22:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Damn good work

Just congratulating you on your work on Bart King. I'm a fan of King's and it is good to see him get such a comprehensive write up. I plan on getting articles up on all first-class cricketers from Philadelphia's cricketing golden age by the end of the year and any help you can provide would be much appreciated! I created the Philadelphian cricket team and Christie Morris articles, so any help you can give on them would also be appreciated. Keep up the good work! Andrew nixon 15:47, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Johnson Lyndon CoatofArms.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Johnson Lyndon CoatofArms.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Bart King

Added my review to the peer review page. Sorry, I didn't check the article talk page before doing so, so there may be repetition (particularly about the POV stuff). Regards. Trebor 17:26, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your nomination

Bart King: Interesting and a well sourced article! But unfortunately - I'm afraid - too old for WP:DYK... according to these rules. And there doesn't seem to be much room for derogation right now. Please, keep ut the good work anyway! --Camptown 23:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blazon

You might like to express an opinion on my talk about a French Blazon. Depending on the time period of the original arms I can quite see it being blazoned several ways in English.Alci12 11:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Hey Evadb,

Naturally, I am still becoming accustomed to using the new tools, so if you have suggestions or feedback, or need anything please let me know. - Gilliam 20:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] West Indian cricket team in England in 1988

Thanks - nice tweak. --Dweller 15:22, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sausenburg

Hi, I finished the translation of your Sausenburg article. Cheers, AxelBoldt 04:23, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. Would've been glad to help, but someone beat me to it :-) Maybe next time! BjKa 16:19, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
