[edit] Question on your comment at WP:AN

Why did you remove your comment here? The discussion is ongoing, and the dispute is unresolved as of now. Timmeh! 21:44, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I thought he has been topic banned. Anyway it wasn't very polite, and thus was innapropriate. I've been a bit of a dick as of late.--Patton^t/c

That move was reversed, as the closing admin didn't really let enough time for editors to weigh in on the issue. I urge you to make your opinion known on the issue, and you can certainly do that without insulting anyone. We need the input of as many editors as possible so we can gain an accurate consensus. Timmeh! 23:35, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Alright will do lol.--Patton^t/c 10:38, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Unverifiable?

Yeah, ignore what I said about verifiability on that source. I think I just looked at it very quickly and noticed it required a paid subscription but not that it was a newspaper, or something. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 17:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

No problem lol :-).--Patton^t/c 18:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

It was described as a falconet on the website.

That's your opinion, which you are entitled to. It fits the description: a small-bore cannon resembling an oversized musket on a two-wheeled carriage. Whether it's muzzle-loading or breech-loading is irrelevant.

[edit] Thank you

		Military history reviewers' award
		By order of the coordinators, for your good work helping with the WikiProject's Peer and A-Class reviews, I hereby award you this Military history WikiProject Reviewers' award.  Roger Davies talk 13:59, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!--Patton^t/c 14:01, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Barnstar

Thanks :) I'm aware it won't pass, but I'm happy to have pretty much 2:1 support. I'll get as much feedback as possible and let it pan out whichever way it goes, I suppose :) Thanks again for the barnstar. —Cyclonenim | Chat  14:23, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Tank

Hi Patton. Congrats on FA for SAW! We have a long running discussion on what should be the lead image, with editors regularly swinging by to swap in a tank of their preferred nationality. When I saw the image had changed again I nearly popped a blood vessel :) Please join the discussion if you would like to contribute to a consensus on a more 'typical' tank image. Thanks Dhatfield (talk) 21:29, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh right lol, mine was just a drive-by edit as the M3 Lee isn't exactly a typical tank. Will check :-)--Patton^t/c 22:04, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Our image selection is a bit dire. Thanks for your contrib. Dhatfield (talk) 01:57, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Oklahoma City bombing conspiracy theories

Thanks for not deleting the article. The article in its prior state definitely deserved deletion, but before recreating the article I have ensured that the sources were reliable and looked at the issues raised in the AfD. The article obviously has room for expansion, and although I won't be taking part in the article, I'll still be watching it for vandalism and unreliable sources. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 02:29, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey no problem, it definitely wasn't recreation of deleted material, the previous version was awful, but your work is really good. Happy editing to you too!--Patton^t/c 13:16, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] RfA Thankspam

Thanks to everyone who took the time and trouble to take part in my RfA whether support, oppose or neutral. All comments are valued and will be considered carefully in the coming weeks. Feel free to add more advice on my talk page if you think I need it.

[edit] Macedonia

FYI, the Macedonia issue on which you commented yesterday is now at arbitration - see WP:RFAR#Macedonia naming dispute. -- ChrisO (talk) 07:10, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Take Ichi convoy

Hi, I think that I've now addressed your comments on this article's A-class review. Do you think that any further changes are needed for the article to reach A-class? thanks, Nick-D (talk) 12:47, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Accensi

Firstly, I wanted to congratulate you on writing the hastati, principes, triarii, and velites articles. That is a lot of work, and they are important articles to have, as they outline Roman legion structure in the pre-Marian Republic. I was reading the triarii article and followed links to the roarii and accensi articles. I saw that on the accensi article the singular of "accensi" was listed as triarius, which is the singular of triarii. I changed it to accensus and then looked through the edit history to see who made that particular edit and it turned out to be you. Since it was in September, you probably don't remember, but I was curious whether that was an accident or if you intended to have that information in the article. Neil Clancy 22:24, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I have no idea why I made that edit. I must have copy and pasted something wrong. Anyway thanks for fixing it lol.--Patton^t/c 22:46, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Macedonia 2

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above.

• All editors on Macedonia-related articles are directed to get the advice of neutral parties via means such as outside opinions and Geopolitical ethnic and religious conflicts noticeboard (WP:ECCN), especially since there are significant problems in reaching consensus.
• All articles related to Macedonia (defined as any article that could be reasonably construed as being related to Macedonia, Macedonia nationalism, Greece related articles that mention Macedonia, and other articles in which how Macedonia will be referred to is an issue) fall under 1RR whenever the dispute over naming is concerned. Editors enforcing a case where a binding Stalemate resolution has been found are exempt from 1RR.
• The following users have been banned from Wikipedia : Avg (talk · contribs)^{one year}, ΚΕΚΡΩΨ (talk · contribs)^{one year}, and Reaper7 (talk · contribs)^{six months} .
• The following users have been topic-banned from Macedonia-related articles and their talk pages, as defined in All related articles under 1RR: Avg (talk · contribs)^indefinitely, ΚΕΚΡΩΨ (talk · contribs)^indefinitely, Reaper7 (talk · contribs)^{one year} and, SQRT5P1D2 (talk · contribs)^{one year}.
• The Committee takes note that ChrisO (talk · contribs) has resigned his administrator status while this case was pending, but also notes that he is desysopped as a result of the above case. ChrisO may obtain the tools back via the usual means or by request to the Arbitration Committee.
• Future Perfect at Sunrise (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · moves · rights) is strongly admonished for displaying a long pattern of incivil, rude, offensive, and insulting behavior towards other editors and failure to address the community's concerns in this regard. Because of this Future Perfect at Sunrise is subject to an editing restriction for one year, and is desysopped for three months as a consequence of poor user conduct and misuse of administrative tools. After three months, his administrator access will be automatically restored.
• Single-purpose accounts are strongly advised to edit in accordance with WP:SPA and other Wikipedia policies. Diversifying one's topics of interest is also encouraged.
• Abuse filter 119, as currently configured, logs all changes involving the word "Macedonia" but does not block any edits. The community is strongly advised to consider adding a new abuse filter criterion; any instances of changing the word "Macedonia" to "FYROM" (the five-letter acronym, not the full phrase) shall be prevented.
• Within seven days of the closure of this case, a discussion is to be opened to consider the preferred current and historical names for the four entities known as Macedonia. The discussion will end one month after it is opened.

[edit] Matilda tank

Kindly consult some references on British tank nomenclature before changing article names; you may find after reading the discussion page that you are mistaken about the name of this tank. Thanks very much. DMorpheus (talk) 14:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for moving the page DMorpheus (talk) 18:13, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Is there some reason you re-named the page without waiting for consensus? The name you used was suggested by one editor, but other suggestions were out there. Regards, DMorpheus (talk) 19:22, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
