Ahoy Parseboy. I was editing on my mobile and didn't notice you had reverted my Battlecruiser edits. The WP Manual of Style allows us to use accepted style guides such as the Chicago Manual of Style. The CMS allows for two (or more) digits for page ranges. E.g., "pp. 123–125" or "pp. 123–25". So my battlecruiser edits were in compliance and served to give consistency. Thanks. – S. Rich ( talk) 21:29, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
Looking at S138-class torpedo boat and Ottoman destroyer Muavenet-i Milliye... Conway's calls them "torpedo boat destroyers," just to make things complicated. cc Sturmvogel 66 Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 02:17, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
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:
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.
For the Milhist co-ordinators, AustralianRupert and MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 10:53, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
The above comment was not surprising to me given our past interactions. But it's not the best practice to follow other editors to areas one has never edited before to comment, negatively, on their contributions: [2]. It can come across as wiki-hounding.
Who is "badly misunderstands policies and guidelines" is up for debate, as our last content-related interaction was at AfD:List of Stuka aces. You then removed my PRODs from a number of Ritterkreuz list articles (with the edit summary "not what PROD is for"), which were also then deleted at AfD. So it looked to me like someone needed to brush up on WP:N and WP:PROD :-).
Separately, it may be a good idea to leave sneers out of edit summaries: [3]. Instead, if you have a problem with my editing, please discuss with me directly on my Talk page or at an appropriate noticeboard. Thank you. K.e.coffman ( talk) 23:35, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello to you Parsecboy. I have a question about using Wikipedia articles as foot notes in my book. I have linked the Wikipedia articles and web site pages like German Navy.de in my Warships of Plan Z E book as foot notes so that 1, I didn't have to write out the foot notes, and an end section in the chapters for them to reside. 2, by using the links it provides the reader the option to look more in depth on sub-subjects and descriptions like the Wikipedia articles themselves. Example I mention Admiral Scheer while talking about the ship that was named after him. If someone wishes to see his Biography they can go to that link and as deep as all the links in the article will take them, however it eliminates the need for me to summarize it and or write a 3000 page book with that many sub subjects.
So my question is this. If I format my book, and or books for a hardback edition is it allowable to use the Wikipedia articles for foot note purposes? Can I reproduce parts, or an entire article in a print book, and cite it as a Wikipedia article used for foot note expansion, or would it be viewed as copyright infringement?
My concern here is that I do not wish to plagerize, or violate Wikipedia policy, and or have it seem like the Wikipedia articles are my work. The other course that I can follow is to print the links in the Hard bound book/s and that would allow the reader to look up the links if they wished, but I think in a physical volume that it would be more interesting to have physical information. I consider the reader who might not have access to the internet. I do think that with the articles changing though that this could make a small upgrade issue though. Perhaps I could leave in the link, and summarize with a foot note.
Tell me what you think please. I look forward to hearing from you. Haratio — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haratio Fales ( talk • contribs) 16:49, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Hey Parsec! It’s good to be back!
I saw that you’ve been working on several articles related to the Austro-Hungarian navy. I know it’s been close to 6 years since I was last on but I just wanted to reach out and see if we could perhaps work together on some articles in that area. You probably remember that the two topics I focused the most on during my time on Wikipedia was A-H and U-boats. I’ve got some sources that may be handy for us, like Sokol’s excellent book on the Austrian navy.
If there’s anything in particular you’re interested in working on feel free to let me know! I’m just in the process of trying to get back into editing after a very long hiatus.
Sincerely, — White Shadows One eye watching you

Hi. Do you by any chance have any sources that can fix the two uncited sentences in the "Aftermath" section of Imperial German plans for the invasion of the United Kingdom? They basically state that German naval action against the UK mainland consisted only of three raids, and that the operations were designed to force the Royal Navy to dissipate its strength in coastal defence, thereby creating the conditions to allow the smaller German fleet to engage it on more favourable terms. I believe that Castles of Steel: Britain, Germany and the Winning of the Great War at Sea by Robert K. Massie may have this covered, but all I have is a Gbooks preview, which does not provide any page numbers. Maybe you have this book, or perhaps another that supports these statements? Cheers.

I've got more information I'll be adding in the next few days. Vego, Sondhaus, and even Sokol have info on the ships, their specifications, and the background behind them (especially budget negotiations over them). I'm confident by the time I'm done, we can submit this article for an A-class review, get that sorted out, and then potentially move on to an FA together.
Cheers!-- White Shadows New and improved!
I've just finished my work in this list. Reworked the citations to link to references (boy, that took a long time), added several more categories and the Austria-Hungary portal to the article, and did some minor copy-editing while also adding in info I picked up from Sokol. I think we're good to go to take this list to the next level but since you're the primary contributor I'll wait for your call on that one. The only outstanding issue I can find is that the Lambert citation doesn't have a corresponding reference. If that can be added, I think this is an easy A-class.-- White Shadows New and improved!
So as you've noticed, I decided to take that article over to my Sandbox2 page to work on it. Unfortunately, there's no way I'm going to be able to expand it to a DKY, which is why I did this whole thing in the first place. Good news is that it's ready to go live. I know you're an admin, could you move the article for me or otherwise point me to the right direction where I can go and request that my sandbox article (with edit history) take the place of the live article?-- White Shadows New and improved!

Ok for the problem of self-published source, I won't insist. I saw this website used on other pages so I thought it was "good enough". Enthusiast-made works are sometimes more precise than generalist ones, such as here where it seems probable that Iranian Mausers were named M-1310 rather than Model 1930 Carbine.-- Le Petit Chat ( talk) 13:18, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Hey Parsec, would you be able to move my sandbox page over to Tegetthoff? I was working in my sandbox to set the ship up for a DKY, but it appears it was already on the DKY page 8 years ago and I don't think an article can be on the DKY page twice.

"The country of origin of this photograph is Italy. It is in the public domain there because its copyright term has expired.

Hey Parsec, I was wondering if you could give me your thoughts on this draft I've got set up? It's probably the single longest article I've ever written (it's roughly the length of Byzantine Navy I think). I plan on following up on it with a second article covering the battleship-era once I've got this one squared away. It was an extremely time-consuming process to write this article, but I definitely learned a lot in the process, and acquired some new sources too while doing so.
To be clear, I'm not asking for you to review it like you're conducting a Peer Review or something like that. I just wanted your take on this from one editor to another, especially since you were instrumental in writing most of the related ship articles that appear in the context of this arms race.

Hey Parsec, I hate to bother you but there's a bit of a dispute over the name of the article Austro-Hungarian Navy. Another editor just changed the article title to Navy of Austria-Hungary and unfortunately I'm pretty much the only editor who regularly edits the article. Usually changing the name of an article is something that requires consensus among the article's editors if I recall, but as I'm pretty much the only editor I feel like I need some outside input to sort this out. The editor who made the change has been doing this elsewhere too, pretty much any Austro-Hungarian related article and [apparently other articles as well.
Plus, if its determined to keep the old name, I don't think there's a way for me to revert the changes and move the article back to the original page with the history intact as I'm not an admin. I don't meant to drag you into a dispute, but I would like to hear your thoughts about the name change and whether or not WP:CONSENSUS applies to the name of the article. I started a thread over at the talk page.
Thanks, -- White Shadows Let’s Talk 04:56, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Hey Parsec, could you give me your thoughts about whether this is an appropriate fair-use rational for a line drawing for the Ersatz Monarch-class battleship article? If it is, any chance the first upload can be deleted since it's resolution is too large?-- White Shadows Let’s Talk 03:56, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
Somebody's been monkeying around with French battleship Bretagne and there are even paragraphs without any cites. I'm gonna overhaul and update it with data from the recent book on French battleships of WWI which should allow us to get rid of a lot of the older, and probably outdated, references. Since we worked on it together I figure I'll take the first stab and then you can revise and we can co-nom it for ACR. Whaddya think?-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 02:03, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
Hey Parsec,
I went out and created a new collage for the Franco-Prussian War, but I'm having difficulty getting it to fix seamlessly with the conflict infobox, in a similar fashion to the WWII or WWI collages. Do you have any pointers you may be able to offer? Sorry to bother you but you're pretty much the only person I know on Wikipedia to ask these sort of questions!-- White Shadows Let’s Talk 02:51, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Hey Parsec, once I've got my article on the Austro-Italian ironclad arms race up to GA, I was thinking of working on the Anglo-German Naval Arms Race as my next big project. The article really needs some love and I think we can use the format of the article I wrote, as well as a few other ones like South American dreadnought race as a baseline for a massive expansion and near-total rewrite of the article. I've got several books in my library, as well as like a half-dozen issues of Warship International that can be used to help write it and it's been on my personal to-do list for a while now since I've amassed a pretty large pile of source material to write the article. I'm sure you've got just as many sources as well that will round it out.
Due to the importance of the subject matter, and the fact that it would be the most important "naval arms race" article that will likely be written on Wikipedia, I was wondering if you'd be interested in doing a collaboration together to work on the article with the end-goal of bringing it to FA-status. We can begin work once you've wrapped up whatever other major projects you've got going on at the moment. I should be free to begin work once I've finished one of my ACRs and got the SM U-1 class article up to FA status (both of which should happen within a week).-- White Shadows Let’s Talk 02:28, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi, yes it did break the link. Sadly I lack the skill to include the link in that format. I was thinking of a redirect of an article with the name/name to create the link, but thought somebody else might see a better solution. In the end it's a minimal benefit to the readers. Cheers! -- Kevin Murray ( talk) 16:32, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
BTW, are you involved in the Face Book page "Dreadnoughts" There are some interesting discussions there, and based on one I was reading the article here. -- Kevin Murray ( talk) 12:57, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello
Years ago I made a mistake and eagerly I moved quite a lot of images to commons from en.wiki. Now they are sometimes deleted (and in most cases they don't have sources - so its good that they are deleted). This time came to File:Linienschiff-Wörth.jpg. You were uploader of this file to en.wiki. Do you have any info about it, or its just case of "I don't remember"? commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Linienschiff-Wörth.jpg.

Hi! Reference your deleting a photo I added to the USS Missouri (BB-11) article. Instead of deleting another editors work, why not try and find a better or different way to leave the edit in place? That is the better way to be an editor and not unnecessary remove new material, and it's usually not that hard to do. Zcarstvnz ( talk) 14:37, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
Referring to your reversion of my edits to the article, and your reference to WP:CITEVAR. The article already uses short footnotes in a 'Footnotes' and 'References' format. This is not a change of style but an enhancement of the existing style, simply linking the footnote to the relevant reference. Why anybody would want to oppose this, which enhances user experience is beyond me. Previous experience with GA articles is that certain editors think they WP:OWN them and revert any edits by other editors. Do you want me to stop putting right the various cite errors you have introduced into the French Battleship series or is that verbooten too? -- John B123 ( talk) 18:19, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
