LCA

You're putting in some good effort, there. I've skimmed rather than gone through your work in detail, but a couple of points to watch out for 1) overlinking eg thornycroft is linked several times 2) checking your wikilinks eg Thornycroft goes to the lorry business side and not the ships, but Combined operation could go to Combined Operations Headquarters I'll have a run through later as I've spotted a couple of formatting issues. GraemeLeggett (talk) 18:28, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As with Graeme I notice some wikilinking issues. Multiple redlinks do not look good (in my opinion) so unless there is a reasonable chance that those pages will be created they should probably be delinked. Also only the first occurence should be linked. Some parts of the article, particularly the overview, are not written in an encyclopedic style and could be tidied up. Also the referencing needs to be consolidated (see Wikipedia:References#Shortened footnotes). All in all the article is much improved, good work!

Hey, no problem. Do you have a link to the wikicommons image? Just the url will be fine. Skinny87 (talk) 22:13, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Added two pictures to the page! Skinny87 (talk) 08:10, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reference and 2nd Canadian Division question

If I've understood your questions, you should be able to see in the article history the changes I made for those two issues. Is that what you were after? GraemeLeggett (talk) 17:24, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LCA Image

No problem, didn't want to step on your toes, but thought I might help out. You can adjust the size by increasing/decreasing the number next to "px", and substitute "right" for "left" if you want the image on the other side of the article. Caption is all yours, and can be wikilinked by added an extra set of brackets within the set of brackets for the image. Jaydec (talk) 22:33, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RAN/RNZN LCA info

Hello. Following Jim Sweeney (talk · contribs)'s request on your behalf regarding the Royal Australian Navy and Royal New Zealand Navy in regards to the Landing Craft Assault, I did a bit of digging. I'm personally doubtful that either navy operated these vessels... individual personnel (such as Cook during Operation Biting) may have commanded or worked on individual vessels, but these personnel would have been on exchange to the Royal Navy, and operated the craft under that jurisdiction.

There is no mention of the vessels in the RAN centennary history, or the Oxford Companion to Australian Military History. There are a few books at the library I want to check before definitely stating that the RAN as a navy never used the LCAs, and they will probably answer the New Zealand question as well. I should have an answer for you within 24 hours. -- saberwyn 21:40, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've checked Ross Gillet's three books (Warships of Australia, Australian & New Zealand warships, 1914-1945, and Australian & New Zealand warships since 1946). There is no mention of the LCA for either navy, although the RAN did operate LCM6s, LCM8s, and LCVPs. Based on this, I'd be fairly confident in removing the two navies from the "Operators" list in the article...if sources come to light showing that the RAN or RNZN did in fact use these landing craft, it can easily be re-added. -- saberwyn 06:48, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Australian Army had a large fleet of small assault craft, and the Australian War Memorial's online collection database has some photos of what are labeled Australian Army LCAs in Bougainville (for instance this photo). I think that most of the Australian Army craft were local designs though. Royal Marine-manned LCAs also appear to have reached Australia in 1945 (see this and this photo) of Australian infantry training with a British LCA in Queensland.

LCA at Narvik

Thank you for your compliments, AmesJussellR, although I have not been alone at writing the Battles of Narvik wikipage, nor am I finished with it yet.

WikiProject Military History introduction

Hello and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you are interested, or you can add it directly to your user page by copying the following: {{WPMILHIST Announcements}}.
Important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, writing contests, and article logistics.
We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
We've developed a set of guidelines that cover article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention, as well as a number of review alerts.
If you have an idea for improving the project, we have a strategy think tank that provides a dedicated forum for discussing it.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any of the project coordinators or any other experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome, and we are looking forward to seeing you around! --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 07:03, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RE: from RekonDog....

Sure thing, my friend, also if you have any extra info to help expand it.RekonDog (talk) 20:39, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, nice improvement...great work! Yea...I'm working on a project, the "Definitive History of the United States Marine Corps"...check it out and tell me what you think..it's a farcry from being done...and I've been messing more with my other studies than USMC history...but I want to continue or have some help...let me know what you think so far on that page..I need a critic. RekonDog (talk) 01:08, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wow how nice

Wow how nice to get positive feedback! I'm working on GibraltarpediA and are creating a prize for military history as Gibraltar is just a very large (and quite slow moving) aircraft carrier / battleship for the last 200 years.

Ramped Cargo Lighter

I saw you created this as a new article and have nominated it as a DYK (to go on the main page). The nomination page is here, if you have any alternate hook suggestions feel free to mention them. :) --Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 17:40, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, I hadn't realised that was the exclusive use of the term. I have added a new hook.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 19:05, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the paragraphs in the article are without sources. If this is resolved soon (and I am working on it) then it will appear on the main page.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 13:08, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All the paragraphs in this article are sourced, except one credited to "Yugoslav sources". Could you add the actual source as a reference? Thanks--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 13:36, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ramped Cargo Lighter

Hello, Well congrats on you new wikkipage, I like it. I like the fact that you are highlighting a Canadian contribution to the WWII effort that would normally be forgotten. Looks like you and I have the same reference book, Leslie Roberts', Canada's War at Sea, I have a first edition 1944 in two volumes (first volume written by Stephen Leacock). As for photographs, I would suggest that you put your photo question to the copyright mavins who hang out in the Wikki help area. The photo in the ad on page 93 of Canada's War at Sea would be a prefect illustration to your page and you may be able to claim "fair use" but I'm not sure. I too have a bunch of shots that I'd like to use on my HMCS Prince David (F89) page but I'm not confident they'ed get passed the copyright bots. I did a quick search for RCL's in the British Columbia Photo Archives and the North Vancouver Archives to no avail. Next time over in NV I'll pop in and have a look in their archives for photos (they have a photo of HMCS PD during 1943 refit that I'd like to have). Good luck with your project, I'll put your page on my watch list.Alberg22 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:24, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello AmesJussellR, thank you for your compliment. My late father served on the PD from Jan 41 to I think April 43. You my have seen this model of a RCL on the Imperial War Museum page http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30018343 Pretty detailed, they might give you permission to use the image. I would suspect they may have some plans laying around too. Keep me posted on your search, if nothing turns up, I could probably render out a good 3D version of a RCL based on the images on that site.Alberg22 (talk) 22:33, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Ramped Cargo Lighter

On 21 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ramped Cargo Lighter, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that although the Ramped Cargo Lighter was used extensively in World War II, afterwards many were surplus to requirements and sunk by their own side? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ramped Cargo Lighter. 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.

Ramped Cargo Lighter Image

Hello AmesJussellR... With regards to your message of 8 November 2012, I see that your scan of the Ramped Cargo Lighter is in jeopardy of being deleted from Wiki Commons due to insufficient copyright info. I too am no expert on these matters, but I have had some luck with using Canadian Copyright tags from the Commons:Copyright_tags page. You might try PD-Canada-anon (for works where the author or authors are unknown, and 50 years have passed since their publication or 75 since their creation). Gray Marine does not exist anymore and according to Wikipedia, it was purchases by Continental Motors in 1944 and fazed out as a brand in 1967. It might be an interesting project to contact Continental's PR or media department too see if they have the original photo or are willing to give permission for it's use. http://www.genuinecontinental.aero/ Hope this helps. RegardsAlberg22 (talk —Preceding undated comment added 18:42, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is not eligible for Commons as Canada PD anon as the author is unknown, but I have uploaded it locally after cropping it as a fair use file so it does not matter whether the one on commons is deleted or not.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 23:38, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Correction to previous election announcement

Just a quick correction to the prior message about the 2022 MILHIST coordinator election! I (Hog Farm) didn't proofread the message well enough and left out a link to the election page itself in this message. The voting will occur here; sorry about the need for a second message and the inadvertent omission from the prior one. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:40, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
