3 CBAS and 847 NAS

Have you seen the Photographs section here? Dreddmoto (talk) 14:30, 15 October 2014 (UTC) Yes, cheers, --Bye for now (PTT) 14:46, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the Formation section of the 3 CBAS article, it mentions that six TOW-equipped Westland Lynx replaced the Scouts. It does not mention which Lynx variant. Can you add that? --Dreddmoto (talk) 14:02, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that I am no longer editing aviation or military history articles on Wikipedia. Perhaps you should bring it up on the article's talk page HERE. --Bye for now (PTT) 20:34, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's a shame. You've made great contributions. I'll bring it up on the talk page. Thanks. --Dreddmoto (talk) 12:40, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited All Arms Commando Course, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Army Reserve. 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.

Archnet in Timeline of Granada

Archnet is a reliable source. It was developed at the MIT School of Architecture and Planning in co-operation with the Aga Khan Trust for Culture. The website recently redesigned its interface. I like the old design better since it gave clear access to architectural subject by city and country. -- M2545 (talk) 20:29, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources - if I don't change these citations somebody else will (or delete the statements). So I will swap the Archnet cites - there are more than enough other RSs to cover these lines - just be patient, please :o) Cheers, --Bye for now (PTT) 20:47, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This discussion has now moved to the article talk page, --Bye for now (PTT) 23:09, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions

The Commando Helicopter Force article mentions that type training for its Lynxes is conducted with the Army Air Corps. The 847 Naval Air Squadron article mentions that the unit has operated helicopters drawn from an Army Air Corps pool. What do you think of including these in the History section of the Army Air Corps (United Kingdom) article?

Can you help with the United Kingdom section here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Aérospatiale_Gazelle#United_Kingdom Dreddmoto (talk) 14:32, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Personally I'm not sure that ownership of these aircraft is significant/notable enough to be worth mentioning on the entire Army Army Corps article. You should bring it up on the talk page of article of that article HERE rather than with myself.
  • I have tidied up the Aérospatiale_Gazelle#United_Kingdom section a bit.

Cheers, --Bye for now (PTT) 15:53, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I might raise that at the ACC article Talk page.

I noticed. That section of the Gazelle article looks better, now. It just needs to be put in historical order, now. Thanks. Dreddmoto (talk) 14:46, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Granada/Timeline merging

Edit of 255 Squadron WWI timeline

Reference your edit 21:35, 13 November 2014: Do you by any chance have the original source references for these flight allocations and subsequent reallocations? Probably somewhere in AIR1. 255 Historian (talk) 22:02, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think that edit refers to a disbanding date which I've been chasing down. I believe you are probably referring to the edit made made HERE by GraemeLeggett, which appears to have been derived information in the references given in that edit. It's probably better to raise this on the article's talk page rather that with myself. Cheers, --Bye for now (PTT) 22:14, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
