[edit] Young Indiana Jones

Great job in fleshing that section out! Where did you find out all of the historical characters that appear in the show? The Wookieepedian 19:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• I dumped the episode cast lists from IMDB and the official IJ site, and worked on the assumption that any character with two names was probably real, and googled those I didn't recognize. As a bit of a history nut (why I enjoyed the shows in the first place) I knew most of them anyway. dawkeye 19:44, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• • Cool. Would you be interested in helping me expand and flesh out the article then? The Wookieepedian 20:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Francisco Javier Mina

Good job on the article. I'd been meaning to get to it, but it was still some way in the future. I've been working on colonial Mexico, with a few articles from the War of Independence. Rbraunwa 19:58, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Zappa trivia section

I noticed your edit on this section. It clearly improves it a lot!!! I still think there is way too much trivia relative to the length of the article. However, it is difficult to cut out big chunks. I have suggested that the section could become an independent article in itself. See Talk:Frank Zappa. If you have an opinion on this, please let us know. Thanks! --HJ 10:18, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battleships

Please do not wikify, as you call it, the infoboxes on the battleship articles that I have created. Doing so not only destroys the date linkages, but it also totally erases the data on the armour carried, which is of fundamental importance. I hope you will not take it amiss if I revert your changes.--Anthony.bradbury 00:10, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Additional comment; the box which I create is neater, and more attractive-looking, than the wiki-box you inserted. And, as I say, mine contains more data. I have reverted your edits. While we all know that all articles are subject to merciless editing, it is not done to remove data, as you have done. (Data on armour protection)----Anthony.bradbury 00:21, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Also, when ships received a change in armament, sticking it all in the one box, as you have done, is scrappy and much less clear than the way I did it. Talk to me.--Anthony.bradbury 00:50, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Really, please talk to me.--Anthony.bradbury 00:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. Quite right - revert away. I am sorry for the delay in replying but its been some week. First I come down with the flu, which I suspect accounts for my lack of editing judgement on your pages, then my broadband internet connection decides to quit on me for two days. dawkeye 22:46, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Career Laid down: December 1859 Launched: April 11, 1861 Specification Displacement: 6,070 tons Length: 280 ft (85.3 m) pp, 302 ft (92 m) overall Anyways - what I was trying to do there was - I think - to make the tables look less like this ...

[edit] Counter Intelligence Corps

Thanks for expanding (= creating) the article on Counter Intelligence Corps. -- Petri Krohn 10:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
