about Robyn Ochs
Hi, I'd like to know what we could do to get the NPOV tags. I've just added the first three articles I came across. She really is very well know. CyntWorkStuff 19:00, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- See my comments on Talk:Robyn Ochs. Remove a few POV statements and add some references - OK? Rgds, --Trident13 21:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Good job on that one, are you some kind of article-writing dervish? Did you have some preexisting source you wikified to make the new version? —dgiestc 16:47, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- Its a bank holiday, it was raining (so no gardening or motorcycles), and some subjects you just get into. I had some material from previous articles, so it wasn't too hard. Rgds, - Trident13 19:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- It has been proposed that this article be renamed to Holocaust trains. Please comment on the matter at Talk:The trains of the Holocaust. —dgiestc 05:06, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
RAF West Freugh
Hi, I've nominated an article you worked on, RAF West Freugh, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the "hook" for the article at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created on May 5 where you can improve it if you see fit. Regards, howcheng {chat} 21:21, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Lucy Verasamy
Hi Trident, I noticed you have contributed to a number of artciles in relation to Sky News weather presenters. I was perhaps wondering if you might be willing to have a look at the Lucy Verasamy article, and perhaps provide your insight and comment in it's AfD? Thanks —Lonewolf 1183 16:58, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your message and highlighting this AfD! I have made due comment STRONG KEEP/IMMEDIATE CLOSE for not following due process WP:AFD. Best Regards, --Trident13 17:19, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- Appreciate you taking the time to have look at it and providing your input. Lonewolf 1183 17:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- Try that! Looks a bit better, and nine references can't be bad! If you need any help on any other articles, in terms of assistance or improvment, please just ask. Rgds, --Trident13 18:00, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks!
Thanks for the random act of kindness barnstar you gave me -- it was nice to find it when I got back from a recent (internet-less) business trip to the hinterlands of Greece! MeegsC | Talk 15:44, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Photos
Thanks, how did you know bout my stobart pics? Can you help me upload them to commons? eg tell me what to do and how to get my previous uploads there, and what it is all about. Cheers - Llamafish 16:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hi! To upload your photo's to WikiCommons, go over to the WikiCommons FP and create yourself an account much like you did here - ideally, use the same account name over there that you have over here. Uploading photos to WikiCommons is similar to Wikipedia, but there is a better choice of licenses. By creating an account rather than letting another editor move your files over means that you get a better choice of licenses. Personally, I like using the one that means the user has to credit you as the originator of the photo - its still a free license, but at least you get the credit (the plain license over here means - no credit). And I saw your Eddie Stobart pictures on the link to your fototopic page on your wiki FP. Look after yourself. Best Regards, --Trident13 17:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- I still need help, I don't have a clue what to do! - Llamafish 17:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- OK, no problems. Try this: Click Here To Create An Account at WikiCommons Make your UserName there the same as here (ie: Llamafish), enter a password and an eMail address and follow the instructions. Any problems, come back to me. Rgds, --Trident13 17:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- I have, bit unsure about the pictures aspect though, and how to get my old uploads up. Thanks for helping me, you are a great wikipedian Llamafish 17:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- OK, don't worry (yet) about your old photo's uploaded over here - we can sort that later! The nice thing about commons is twofold: better choice of licenses (you have a good eye and good enthusiasm for your subject); indexing of images meaning that your images are more likely to be used (much like Wikipedia indexes articles, WikiCommons indexes photo's - ie Cat - British Diesel Locomotives). Have a look around first, and then having found a photo in a similar category/s to one that you would like to upload, make a note and use the same settings for your upload. Like here the image will have a page reference(eg - Image:XYZ.jpg for instance) - that's now accessible over all Wiki projects not just Wikipedia. I wouldn't upload all your photo's (those on your phototopic page are your copyright), just some you are proud of and are happy for others to use. Let me know how you get on, and if you need any help, just ask! Best Regards, --Trident13 17:45, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- which is the best tag to use for a photo? Llamafish 17:51, 14 May 2007 (UTC) (one you suggested)
- You want an Attribution license - see this photo of mine which is on WikiCommons, with the license I suggest you use - free to use, some rights reserved, must be attributed. Rgds, --Trident13 18:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hi again, How to I transfer all of my existing images to commons?
Kevin Costner
Hi! Just a short note to say - thanks for your input on the Kevin Costner article. I had a look at the talkpage, looking for the reasons behind the anon's adding the link with Time magazine reference to his ancestory, and the reverts by various editors including yourself. Could you give me some background so I can help you out? Thanks! Best Rgds, --Trident13 17:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, it's simply that the anon is adding that his father was German American and his mother was Irish American. But the source - Time - doesn't say that specifically - just mentions that his family had Irish, German and Cherokee ancestry as a whole. Mad Jack 23:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thank You! Rgds, --Trident13 23:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- HELP - I've almost given up with this Anon! The Anon from ip address 84.140.XXX.XXX is orginating from a Deutsche Telekom owned IP address. My guess is that the address rotates as the Anon is subscriber to DT's Broadband ISP service - so it works much like AOL's rotating IP address for thei subscribers. What do you suggest? I added a load of details to the article with references, and all the Anon does is revert back to the version that states his father is German American, normally having also adjusted the German American article before that. Suggestions? Rgds, --Trident13 17:31, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Looks good to me, good work adding sources. I think the only thing we can do is just keep reverting. His IP changes daily. Mad Jack 18:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Take a look at this edit record from the German Wikipedia. Note the last edit of 13 Mai, by IP 84.140.106.9 - not long before, the same IP address turns up on the English Wiki Kevin Costner article editing. The IP address would be the same if the Anon kept logged in. Rgds, --Trident13 22:16, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

The Krays
Hey, I left a message on Talk:Kray twins regarding tha fact that you can't have categories on redirect pages; however, I just thought of an easy solution. You should make each twin's page a short stub, with all the approprate categories, guiding readers to the main article. Like:
Ronald Kray (24 October 1933 – 17 March 1995) was one of the Kray twins, the foremost organised crime leaders in London's Eastend during the 1950s and 60s. Ronald — commonly referred to as Ron or Ronnie — was bisexual, suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and had the more dominant personality of the two.
I can help you out or clean them up if you wish; also, there needs to be a source referenced regarding Ron's sexuality, or somebody from my WikiProject may remove the category! LOL. TAnthony 14:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I have removed in good faith the Royal Navy ships that you have added to the above category on 2 grounds;
- Firstly, Military, in the strict British use of the word, pertains to "land" matters. Naval ships are not part of the military organisation.
- Secondly, none of these ships are Welsh or part of a Welsh Navy. These ships are all British ships of the Royal Navy.
Your selection criterion for using this category appears to have been a Welsh connection in the name. However, I would strongly advise against this, or else we could put every ship with a Scottish or Irish or English connection in the name into such categories of convenience as "Military of..." and down to such ships as HMS Gambia in a category "Military of Gambia". It is my opinion that the Military of Wales category should be used solely for such items as Welsh regiments, forts and other uniquely Welsh items of militaria. I have canvassed some opinion here. Please do join in if you feel I have overstepped the mark. Emoscopes Talk 11:13, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
- As you started the discussion on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history, see answer there. Rgds, - Trident13 11:36, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Vespa Share program
I am new to this whole thing and I was reading all the warnings about external links. My wife (who suffers from Lupus) and I run a Vespa rental business in Miami and we also have a Vespa-Share program and our members are called "Greenie's." I think we are the only Vespa-Share program in the country identical to the Car-share programs that exist in NY, Chicago, and Boston. I wanted you to take a look and let me know what section (if not a section of it's own) this info should go in based on this articles large scope of info. Again I am new to this and yes this would be a way for us to drive people to our web site and yes we would benefit from it if people became members but I think our service is the only service in North America and we all have to do our share to reduce our carbo-emmissions. Let me know what you think of the link and if or when I can add it to the article? Q Fortune
- Hi! Thanks for your message re the Vespa article. I have had a look at your website, which perhaps at present looks a little bit under developed. I looked around it, but can't find out the scale of your present operation - how many bikes do you have? I would say at present most of the main contributors would see your addition of a link as "spam" or failing WP:EXT - perhaps if it included some information about and why vespas? To start a debate on whether to/to not add a link, I have posted your piece on my talk page to the articles talk page. However, if you want a quicker and more likely positive outcome, and you like Vespa's and think you could add information to the present Wikipedia article before you add your link, then most of our best contributors are also commercial operations owners, some of whom have links at the bottom as a concession. Add some information on Vespa's, build up a consistent edit record, and go from there. If you have any questions, come back to me. Best Regards, --Trident13 13:06, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
