Thanks for the shout out on the Project page and the review. I am going to try to be more active this year, both on improving articles and reviwing articles that others have worked on. I never really quit editting. Most of my work the last 4 years was WikiGnome stuff. Cheers...Cuprum17 (talk) 14:32, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

While reviewing the article Dantzig Alley British Cemetery I came across a possible misspelling in the paragraph "Foundation". In the last sentence is the word "Areoplane" possibly a misspelling of the word "Aeroplane"? I am not familiar enough with French geography to determine an accurate understanding. I will go ahead with an assessment and leave the question of possible misspelling for you to answer. Cuprum17 (talk) 13:41, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Per this, are you interested in adding the Croix de Guerre (1939-1945) and the DFC (US) to his gongs? Moriori (talk) 01:42, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks - I mention both of those awards in the article body but didn't include the text of the citation since they were not published in the London Gazette. I could put the text of the recommendations for the US/French awards in but I intend to take this article for A-Class review at Milhist and the sourcing is looked at pretty closely there. I'm not sure that this website would be considered a reliable source for the recommendations. I'll have look to see if I can find a more reliable source. Libraries are opening up tomorrow for level 2 lockdown and I can think of a couple of books there that I could use for citing the recommendations. I will scope them out next time I'm in town.

Hi,

Thanks for your message. I am new to Wiki editing as you will have seen and note your comments re his auto-biography as the main source and tone used. I wanted to add more detail to his page which was thread-bare when I first saw it. I do have his auto-biography but I also have several other sources, including several military history books, scans of his flight log book as well as 4.5hrs of audio interview from the late 90's. These recordings have been passed to me by the interviewer with permission to use for any non-profit positive use, such as Wiki. I am still in the process of transcribing them and working out the best use of them. I have other books on order which will also help.

My goal is to provide a detailed account of Alan Peart's WW2 experiences from his training, active service and some post-war information. Hopefully you will see a wider range of references over the next few weeks. I work full time but intend to spend some time over the Christmas holidays editing the page.

Hi DrewBrown37, regarding sources, I suggest reviewing [Wikipedia:Reliable sources]. That explains what is acceptable and what isn't. It is important that all information in an article is verifiable by others. This may mean that you aren't able to use log books (unless they have been placed online).

G'day all, the nominations for the 2020 Military history WikiProject newcomer and Historian of the Year are open, all editors are encouraged to nominate candidates for the awards before until 23:59 (GMT) on 15 December 2020, after which voting will occur for 14 days. There is not much time left to nominate worthy recipients, so get to it! Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:46, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

The article Austen Deans you nominated as a good article has passed  ; see Talk:Austen Deans for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Hello, Zawed,

Looks like a ton of useful suggestions on the review. I anticipate dealing with these items as quickly as possible, but I now have three GANs being reviewed simultaneously, so I may need more time.Georgejdorner (talk) 16:24, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

No problem. I am the reviewer for the other two of your articles, and will get to those shortly. Zawed (talk) 20:55, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

You don't have to be in that much of a rush. I doubt I can finish any single nomination in a week.Georgejdorner (talk)

Just a nudge here. I am awaiting your further review.Georgejdorner (talk) 17:21, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the nudge - I've been slammed at work for the past few days before the Xmas holiday kicks in. Down here, we normally take close to two weeks off over the Xmas/New Year period, and I'm taking an extra couple of weeks this year so had to majorly clear the decks. From a quick glance, this article is looking in good shape but I will have a closer look after Xmas Day, while I digest my food. Zawed (talk) 10:42, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Actually, I didn't anticipate any answers from you until next year. Enjoy!

Though I did answer your latest suggestions on Kurt Wolff (aviator).Georgejdorner (talk) 02:24, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
