Talk:Asian Five Nations Rugby.change (talk) 19:21, 5 January 2015 (UTC) Disruptive editorHi Hamish. I have found it necessary to repeat my warning to User:109.153.100.122 for replacing duplicate wikilinks, on the 49 Div article. I also noted that he has reverted some of your corrective edits on that and several other articles, despite your Not broken advice. Having looked at some of the other prolific unsourced edits he/she is doing to other articles, there are so many in such short periods of time, I am starting to wonder if they are copyvio's from history books !

Moves of Mounted BrigadesG'day, the "technical" moves you requested do not conform with WP:MILMOS#UNITNAMES, because they should either be at their last name, or remain disambiguated because there are other XXth Mounted Brigades.

 This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of 52nd Indian Infantry Brigade, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: 51st Indian Infantry Brigade. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history. It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 15:59, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Talk page redirectsWhy did you create this talk page redirect, because this is not usually done (as it can complicate future page moves). -- PBS (talk) 20:57, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
It depends if a page moves twice then the talk page will have a history and it has to be manually deleted, it has to be deleted manually and then the talk page and its archives have to be moved across in a separate move to that of the article. Why did you create the redirect? -- PBS (talk) 12:51, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

RWCHi Hamish I am new to all this so please forgive me if I am doing this wrong. I recently amended one of your pages Rugby World Cup 1987 as you had one of the try scorers listed incorrectly in the Group Stage match between Japan and the United States. The try scorer is incorrectly listed as Gary Lambert, and not Blane Warhurst. This is also the case on the ESPN Scrum website which I am assuming you got your information from. I am a TV Archiver for IMG Productions in Stockley Park, London and I am currently working on the Rugby World Cup 1987 footage for our website www.imgsva.com and have been using your page, and ESPN Scrum as reference guides. My emendation was not meant to offend, and I can assure you, I was only trying to correct your information so that it is accurate.

We noticed though that when you edited T Battery (Shah Sujah's Troop) Royal Artillery, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Thorney Island. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

2nd Independent Parachute BrigaidHi, I am Dennis, Geigamedia - RE: The picture of the 3 Paras in Athens 1944. The one with the Bren gun is my Father JJ(MJ) Coughlin, Private( Fusilier ) 6th Battalion Royal Welch, I have lots of photos of him, and he remembers the photo being taken, it was staged for the photographer. He also used the same Bren gun for sniping from the Prison in Athens. So not the 5th Scots. My Father was also on HMS Abdiel when it sunk in Taranto Harbour. He had a very interesting war and only died 2 years ago age 90, I have a lot of first hand stories and documents and photos from his time in the 2nd Independent. From his training at Ringway, North Africa, Italy, Operation Dragoon, he and 5 others liberated the French town of Le Motte(the first to be liberated), I still have the wallet he removed from a German prisoner taken at the post office in Le Motte. He was injured at Casino, had a very hairy time fighting very close hand on the Gustav line(Sangro, Italy) and after Greece, he eventual left Italy in the bomb aimers nose cone of a Lancaster, in August 1945(still have the raffle ticket they gave him to indicate were to sit) he ended up late 1946 clearing unexploded ordinance at Gosport Portsmouth. I am working on a page on his time in WW11, from 1938 The Tower Hamlets rifles through to The Durham light Infantry and the the Paras 1942/46. I am new to editing on Wikipedia, but can assure you any edits I make in Reference to the 2nd Independent will be thoroughly researched.
2nd Independent Parachute BrigaidThanks for the reply and useful information. Its reassuring to know how much work goes into making sure Wikipedia is accurate. I will contact the Imperial war museum and try and get this error put right. That particular photo also appears on quite a few web sites with the incorrect caption.
