Thanks for undoing my deletion; it made me reevaluate how to handle the telephone alphabets. I was going to consolidate them in the NATO phonetic alphabet article, but your action made me realize that was silly, and take a closer look at the IITS alphabet. When I finally realized the Western Union alphabet was used over the telephone, it suddenly became obvious the right path was to take all of the telephone spelling alphabets and put them in one place.
That, in turn, made me realize that the telephone spelling alphabets likely were the direct ancestor of the radiotelephony alphabets. This should have been obvious, but wasn't to me and cleared up a big mystery I had with why there was so much confusion over when the first radiotelephony alphabet was created. So double-thanks! :-) PetesGuide ( talk) ( K6WEB)
"a lot of bad formatting...." tell that to yourself "smarty" one!
a lot of bad "formatting" is you!
"revert to earlier good version" wasn't "good" version either
You just added a comment that is relevant to a Naomi Wu talk page conversation about 8 sources, but your comment may not be noticed since it appears in a different section of the talk page. HouseOfChange ( talk) 22:17, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
That's the bloody mobile version of Wikipedia talkpages for you. It's a liability. GraemeLeggett ( talk) 06:06, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
I see that you removed small tags from List of monastic houses in Suffolk after I had fixed the non-matching tags. Removing the tags is fine with me. JohnArmagh has reverted the previous removal of some small tags from articles (e.g. at List of monastic houses in Scotland and List of monastic houses on the Isle of Man), but it looks like they have subsequently been removed again, at least from some articles. At this point, there are a bunch of "List of monastic houses in ..." articles with non-matching tags, including those listed at User:Galobot/report/Articles by Lint Errors, and the group of articles is inconsistent.
If people really want to reduce the font size in those tables, it should be done at the table level, not with a million tags. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 13:52, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

this one as an example took me about 30 seconds. –

sorry, forgot to cite the source (The Tanks of TOG) but the standard frontal armor of the TOG 2 prototype is actually 114mm (more accurately 144.3mm), but the 76mm armor was fitted on the TOG 2 some time before it was sent to Bovington - yes currently the TOG 2 in Bovington has 76mm of frontal armor (the TOG 2 armor is modular - you could easily take pieces off and put thinner/thicker pieces back on, that's why those giant rivets are there and the armor looks like it's split into pieces) LuckyBlockYoshi ( talk) 21:09, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
Would you please tell me what you understand by a self reference to WP? A note which directs the reader to another article is not a self reference. Please explain. Also, how do you know that the Hansard lists are exclusive to the war ministry? Some of the ministers in 1945 were members of the caretaker ministry which is the subject of a different article.

You may want to check Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Tables#Appearance, it states "Consideration may be given to collapsing tables which consolidate information covered in the prose." I think the WPMILHIST guideline is therefore in line with MOS. Cheers MisterBee1966 ( talk) 09:04, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi - you just reformatted the Fleet list in United Airways Limited. Can you tell me whether your changes are following any WP guidelines? I've done several tables like this before with no problems. I don't like: 1 - gathering most of the refs into a heap at the top and away from the text they support, 2 - removing the column width parameter meaning that dates now split into two lines and three lines when viewed on a mobile device, 3 - italicising one registration - why that one? 4 - I had the two undelivered Rapides in with the rest of the Rapides to keep them together - moving them out of the table makes them easily missable. I really want to revert - please comment. Lestocq ( talk) 15:30, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi GraemeLeggett, thanks for the edits. However, several seem to be uncited... and this is a reviewed GA. Refs would be appreciated. All the best, Chiswick Chap ( talk) 13:23, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi, Your edit on Air transport of the British royal family and government had an important distinction of 9 vs 14 and I agree with your other changes. So just a quick thank you. Mark83 ( talk) 20:30, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi there, I saw you did some cleanup at List of monastic houses in Essex and I'm hoping you have some familiarity with the topic and might be able to help me with de-orphaning something? ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 03:34, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
I can but try and help if I can. What needs to get some links? GraemeLeggett ( talk) 07:47, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Graeme, I'm hoping to get some support from you at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ships#perpetual issue: ncships and the definite article. Broichmore ( talk) 16:54, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, GraemeLeggett. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Template:Air warfare in Europe during WWII".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 01:03, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
Dear fellow Wikipedian,
I tried to be more selective in undoing some of your edits, that I disagreed with — but you had already made so many subsequent edits, that it had become impossible to undo just a few offending items ...
Even looking at your last version version of the article, it was still not consistent in its use of fractions...
For instance, in the large models table, you used the ASCII symbol for ½-tons – but you kept the {{3/4}}-ton, and the {{frac|1|1|2}}-ton notation...
The Only way, that I can see, to keep the use of fractions consistent throughout this article, is to use the {{frac}} template, and shortcuts thereof. — There are just not enough ASCII codes for all the different fractions in this article.
Also: the use of Bold fractions in the first column is because the first and second columns serve as Row Headers in the table. --

Graeme just thought I would notify you I was just going through the list of aircraft on the list of British military equipment and discovered that a FAA Aircraft was in that list that was not on our FAA Aircraft list. It was the Hellcat I added it with citations feel free to edit what I did. Just informing you of the changes Anonymous contributor 1707 ( talk) 22:58, 16 December 2020 (UTC).
You've been around here a long time. What's "eating" you? You're making ill thought-through edits then making er, inconsequential ones. Why? Eddaido ( talk) 08:59, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for engaging. But is this largely uncited list of types the right way to go? If you check the history you will see that a revert war has been starting up. If you think it a good idea, please could you respond on the article talk page. — Cheers, Steelpillow ( Talk) 11:09, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
I'm confused- why? Cite work is not available on the wizard thing and I can't find any guidance of when to use it Lyndaship ( talk) 19:12, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
