Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John Foster (Australian sailor), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gold Coast (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.

If I've got my chronology right, you would have completed your degree last year. What are you planning for this year and the future? (My daughter got presented with her degree certificate last year, and started a Masters, which she should complete this year.) Best wishes, Pdfpdf (talk) 12:34, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello,
Thank you for raising these concerns. You are right about Patton. However. as you may know, Maghakian won over two dozen medals and the medals featured on the infobox are in fact his notable ones. You should check out an article like John_Shalikashvili which shows all his medals with the small picture logos. I would like something similar. Proudbolsahye (talk) 02:28, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
I expect you have finished your first degree by now. Are you doing post-graduate studies?
(My daughter is doing the final year of a Masters degree.) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 05:01, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi - It would be really good if you could put your excellent article on Alan McNicoll into mainspace. The fact that there is currently no article on McNicoll (experienced editors all know that you have written a reall good one) is turning McNicoll into a mystery person! Best wishes.

Hello! Your submission of Alan McNicoll at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Montanabw(talk) 08:10, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
On 11 May 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Alan McNicoll, which you created or substantially expanded. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alan McNicoll. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

World Digital Library Wikipedia Partnership - We need you! | |

Hi Abraham, B.S.! I'm the Wikipedian In Residence at the World Digital Library, a project of the Library of Congress and UNESCO. I'm recruiting Wikipedians who are passionate about history & culture to participate in improving Wikipedia using the WDL's vast free online resources. Participants can earn our awesome WDL barnstar and help to disseminate free knowledge from over 100 libraries in 7 different languages. Please sign up to participate here. Thanks for editing Wikipedia and I look forward to working with you! SarahStierch (talk) 00:28, 23 May 2013 (UTC) |
It is great to see your name around again. :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:44, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members).
So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 14:55, 9 June 2013 (UTC) |

There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first. Please look at the second one, which I think is much better.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:08, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello, this is just a brief note to let you know that Otto Becher will be appearing as Wikipedia:Today's featured article/September 13, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask me. If the blurb needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. I hope that the TFA appearance goes smoothly. Sorry for the late notification - you may have already spotted this news through your watchlist; the bot that was meant to tell you seems to have broken. Regards, BencherliteTalk 19:48, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Gday Abraham, B.S. Have you considered putting your name forward for this? I certainly think you have a lot of experience in the project and would be more than capable of doing the job.

Hi Abraham, B.S.
In case you didn't know, there is an editathon coming up following a backstage pass in the State Library of New South Wales by some of the Library's curators on 23 November. This may or may not be a convenient time and place for you but it should be an interesting event. We hope it will be productive too.
This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.
If you could make it, I am sure the encyclopedia would benefit! As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! Whiteghost.ink (talk) 02:45, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Periodically I come across pages that would benefit from your expertise. Do you wish for them to be brought to your attention? If so, in what way? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:13, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
(Update) FYI, I haven't forgotten or lost interest - it's a case of discovering that things are not as I thought. Taking a lead from your VC page, I thought a good way to go might be to set up an OzGenerals page. (Once again I was quickly reminded what a big list they are.) When I started to get down to it (and I'm still only in the "C"s), I discovered that, on average, the quality of the existing pages is quite high. And also, I've yet to come across an existing page that DOESN'T have an infobox. My major-discovery-for-me is that there are a LOT more red links than I expected. Any advice, suggestions, opinions, whatever, will be read with interest. Thanks for your support. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:49, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Hey, thank you for fixing that up, the CDF didn't specify that it was not until May in his Facebook post. "I am very pleased to appoint Rear Admiral Johnston as the Chief of Joint Operations. He has extensive operational and command experience across the tri-service, coalition and whole-of-government environment which make him the standout choice for this role." - GEN D. Hurley.

These days, I'm no longer interested in edit warring. Sadly, that doesn't mean that something I do won't annoy someone.
If something I do annoys you, please tell me - preferably on a talk page, or via email if necessary - rather than in an edit comment. I'm sure we can sort it out without embarking on an edit war. I've come to the realization that, in general, we agree. It seems silly for us to start an edit-war over minor details when, in general, we agree on the big things. (And although I admit I've done this in the past (as have you), I'm not interested in doing it in the future.) In the meantime, have a good weekend. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 14:05, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
It appears to me you have broad interests in Military History, with a general focus on Australia, and a primary focus on the RAAF, very closely followed by the Australian Army. How would you summarise your WP interests? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 14:00, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Hey there. Interesting point that you brought up on the Matthew Mitcham page regarding medal ordering in the infobox. I was acting under the impression that there was no consensus reached at Template talk:Medal templates documentation#Order of medals, and based on personal preference (original consensus of ordering first by chronology with most recent first, and then ordering secondly by medal type within each event) I went ahead and made that the style of the article when I went to tidy up the medal information.
I acknowledge that the style on the pages you listed, for example Ian Thorpe and Michael Phelps, are of your preferred style. However, I do believe that the old style has more merit, because:
Keen to hear your thoughts and arguments. I am open to moving this discussion to the infobox talk page if you feel that would be better.

Hi - I just thought I would consult with you on the order in which we set out commands for UK senior officers in infoboxes. I think in the UK we normally put the most junior command first and then list them in increasing importance. I see that for Richard Dannatt, Baron Dannatt and a few others it is the opposite way round. Is there any guidance in the MoS on this or do you have strong views on this? Best wishes.

Hello. I noticed that you removed a lot of titles and postnominals like OBE from instances of ((infobox military person)), and I have to admit that I'm quite unhappy with that. Is there a consensus for this broad change? If so, you might also want to remove the template parameters just to avoid confusion. The focus in the infobox header should be on the person's name, which is why the prefix and postnominals have been set off. De728631 (talk) 18:01, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
