On 3 February 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Golden Retriever, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that all Golden Retrievers (example pictured) descend from a golden-coloured Flat-coated Retriever named Nous and a Tweed Water Spaniel named Belle? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Golden Retriever. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Golden Retriever), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

This is the Cavalryman I remember, and it is not the same person we're dealing with today. Unfortuantely, the behavior has gotten worse. I don't want this to escalate but I'm of the mind that it has become an issue for T&S. I hope you will step away, and do some serious introspection about your behavior after failing to get consensus for your proposed merge. I'm asking you as a teammate to please stop interrogating me, WIKIHOUNDING, casting aspersions that include outright character assassinations at the GAR, the tag bombing and TE. Your merge will likely not happen ever because too many articles depend on Bull and terrier for historic reference. GARs are for the purpose of fixing a GA, but they won't fix a GA that isn't broken. GAR is not there to settle a content dispute, and the criteria actually discourages tag bombing. Your best option is to take your issues to WP:NPOVN, or call a formal RfC on the respective article TP. Whatever you choose, I'm asking you to please stop the disruptive behavior, the aspersions, PAs, and bad faith interrogation; consider Hanlon's Razor because that is likely what caused the citations to be misplaced when I was pasting blocks of text into the article that I prepared offline in a TEXT program. All you had to do was bring it to my attention on the article TP, or simply fix it. Atsme 💬 📧 18:16, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Atsme: this is the editor I wish I was collaborating with, but sadly instead this, this and this is illustrative of your conduct lately. It is sad to see, particularly immediately after being released from a TBAN for displaying all of these same behaviours. Cavalryman (talk) 20:32, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello dear Cavalryman! Upps i did it again ... and wrote a new artcle in en:WP, see Unditching-Beam. The article is based on a far more extended text in de:Bergebalken which popped up last week in context with the war in ukraine. Would you like to give the article in en:WP some first aid? Sorrowly i had a special Follower earlier this year, who liked to kick[1] parts of my work. Thus the new article from my side was created as stub and could need some support. Best --Ｔｏｍ (talk) 06:21, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ｔｏｍ, when I get a chance I will try to find some sources. Kind regards, Cavalryman (talk) 22:19, 28 March 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Ｔｏｍ, I have added a few more sources, a little bit more information and have moved the article to comply with English Wikipedia's conventions on capitol letters (Unditching beam). I am sure there are many sources still out there with more information. Kind regards, Cavalryman (talk) 01:27, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Cavalryman! This is far better as I could have done it. BTW on Commons there are some new Categorys concerning this kind of material:

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unditching_equipment
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unditching_roller

Thank you so much! Best --Ｔｏｍ (talk) 03:08, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Cavalryman,

In 2015 you added a paragraph on the early 1900s ban on civilian usage of centerfire rifles in calibres in British military service. I recently covered that issue in Gun law in India#History with some more examples, and added some wikilinks to there, but while doing that I noticed a discrepancy in sources: a couple of them claim that the actual date was 1905, not 1907. I also found several old forum threads on the subject:

• One of them claims that only the possession of ammo was banned (1909 is mentioned, by the way), not the rifles themselves, even though the latter are useless without the former.
• Another one states that the 1907 is merely a "cut-off date for India", and the actual ban was implemented already in 1899-1901.
• Yet another one presents a counter-example of T. Roosevelt importing a .450 weapon in Sudan after 1907, and in response one of the users describes a story that looks more like a very restrictive licensing rather than an outright ban.

So, who is right? Are there any contemporary sources available? Ain92 (talk)

Hello Ain92, my understanding is the ban came into effect in 1907, this article by Terry Wieland and Cartridges of the World say as much. But it probably would be good to find a better source. I will have a better look when I have a chance. Regards, Cavalryman (talk) 21:39, 29 March 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Hello there, I was wondering whether you think the Irish Wolfhound page is better with an ‘extinct’ infobox or keep it as it is now, leaving the breed’s status out of the lead. Also I would apologise to you as well for earlier incivility… Wase134 (talk) 21:12, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Wase134, I believe the infobox should probably speak about the modern breed and the article's history section should discuss the historic breed of the same name, the lead should summarise both. Cavalryman (talk) 21:41, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've been chipping away at Poodle lately with an eye to bring it to GA once I've sourced everything I can, stripped out everything I can't, and covered the few remaining gaps. Just wanted to drop you a line as the most recent significant contributor and a much more experienced content editor than me, especially in this area -- happy to hear any thoughts on what it still needs! Rusalkii (talk) 02:05, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Rusalkii, I think there certainly are the sources available to bring the article to GA standard. When I get a chance I will have a look and give you my thoughts. Kind regards, Cavalryman (talk) 09:36, 8 April 2022 (UTC).[reply]
