Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Williamsburg Union order of battle, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages III Corps and IV Corps (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.

Battle of Pea Ridge

edit

Hi FDRMRZUSA! Battle of Pea Ridge falls under the scope of WikiProject Military History and their content guide specifies that the section headings for battles refer to the background, the prelude, a description of the battle, and the aftermath. For consistency's sake, I think that the section heading should be simply ¨Background¨, especially considering that the belligerents are listed in the infobox already.

I have just reverted your edits to Battle of the Bulge order of battle. There is no need to remove redlinks from articles. They are there to encourage editors to write the missing articles. Hamish59 (talk) 19:14, 28 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

My first impulse was to revert but you seem to know about the Civil War. I know that Battle of Mobile Bay is listed in the Western Theater category but how is Alabama in the Western Theatre? SlightSmile 17:19, 2 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Deletion of your stuff in various Orders of Battle

edit

Hey, as you most likely already know lots of your stuff gets removed from various Orders of Battle by Kitt1987 as he is extremely strict regarding unsourced content. I´m seldomly posting anything in this domain without sources because of that anymore and mostly limit myself to wikification and corrections. Just a reminder for you to include sources, otherwise it doubles your work and can be rather frustrating. Please keep up your contributions, they´re appreciated at least by some of us. ....

  Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as First Battle of Bull Run. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:55, 30 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Your recent edits

edit

Hi, FDRMRZUSA. I saw your recent edits such as this one and I must say I don't get what you're trying to do here. Adding this general section doesn't really seem right for those battle articles, and the formatting is sort of nonstandard. Would you please explain what the intent of these edits is? Howicus (Did I mess up?) 17:29, 11 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

I'm equally confused by these edits. After more than a month of encountering these non-wiki sections, and no response here, I've moved the link they contain to the "See also" section in all such articles (example). You can comment here if needed. (Pinging Howicus, just in case.) --A D Monroe III (talk) 19:27, 30 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Image insertions

edit

Many of your recent image insertions have broken the article formatting. You should not insert an image in the middle of a paragraph, because images always produce a paragraph break. And you should certainly not insert an image between text and the citation that supports that text, as you did here [1] [2]. And please don't use fixed pixel sizes for images, as this disregards the reader's image size preference. Use the upright= parameter instead. Kendall-K1 (talk) 15:40, 21 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from United States presidential election, 1956 into Dwight D. Eisenhower. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:59, 21 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Flag of Ethiopia

edit

Hello, FDRMRZUSA. I have reverted your various edits to the files of the previous flag of Ethiopia. I have done so because the heraldic lion you used, while a valid option for the coat of arms, does not accurately reflect the lion as was most commonly depicted on the flag. While it'd be wrong for me to say that I have never seen the lion depicted in yellow, the most common color I have seen, by far, is brown. Furthermore, the sinewy, muscular lion as used on the SVG version does not match the more filled-out depiction again most commonly seen. Also, I have never seen the lion depicted roaring on the flag. If you can provide sources to support your choice of depiction, please do share, but otherwise I think it best that the existing depiction be allowed to remain.

Also, thanks for creating a file for the Imperial Standard-- although you've used the Swedish Order of the Seraphim instead of the Order of Solomon!--Varavour (talk) 23:10, 13 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
