Timeline of the Adriatic campaign, 1807–1814
[edit]Hi Jackyd101! First I would like to congratulate you on many good and good articles in which you vastly contributed. Regarding to the Battle of Lissa (1811), the most common name for that battle that I have found was Battle of Lissa (modern Vis). Not counting Croatian sources, of course. So, I really don't have any problems with that. Anyway here are some sources with the name Battle of Vis:
- http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3AwYlA4wjdDokJ%3Ahrcak.srce.hr%2Ffile%2F74545+Battle+of+Vis+1811&hl=hr&gl=hr
- http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3ALnccUobS--IJ%3Ahrcak.srce.hr%2Ffile%2F53104+Battle+of+Vis+1811&hl=hr&gl=hr
The problem that I see is in the names of geographic places within these two articles, especially in the Timeline of the Adriatic campaign, 1807–1814. You said: "The links should be the names used at the time, otherwise it is anachronistic", whit I completely agree. But, this article is not a report from the battle from that period of history. What I am trying to say is that readers are not familiar what these places are. So, I think that thear "modern" English names should be included, especially because they are not new names. If you didn't like Dubrovnik (Ragusa), Mljet (Melida), Rovinj (Rovigno)...what about Ragusa (Dubrovnik), Melida (Mljet), Rovigno (Rovinj)...In this way your sentence finished with the name from that period, and gives a information on the today's name. What do you think? Regards, Kebeta (talk) 16:37, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, Thanks for your interest in the article, it is much appreciated. In answer to your points, 1) when determining the name of the battle, we aren't looking for what the island was/is called (it is indisputable that it is now called Vis). Instead, we want to know what the battle was/is called, and the way to do that is to look for "Battle of Lissa" or "Battle of Vis". Your first source is therefore not useful in this process, but the second may be. 2) You mention what the battle is known as in Croatian, but actually this could be relevant to the article and I will find a way to incorporate it in the same manner as I did with Egyptian in Battle of the Nile. 3) I think your counter suggestion of having the modern name in brackets after the linked contemporary name is the best way to present this, although I will leave it up to you to implement it. I hope this helps, and once again, thankyou for all of your work. Regards--Jackyd101 (talk) 16:46, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- Just to add, what is the battle known as in Croatian?
- Thanks for your positive cooperation. The battle is known in Croatian as Viška bitka or Viška bitka 1811. Regards, Kebeta (talk) 18:11, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your participation in the April 2010 GAN backlog elimination drive
[edit]
On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, I'd like to especially thank you for your efforts over this past month's GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive.
For those who have accomplished certain objectives in the drive, awards will be coming shortly. Again, thank you for your help in the drive, and I hope you continue to help review GA nominations and overall improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia. |

Orders of battle
[edit]I know you pretty much only do naval things, but you also seem to be the only person who has promoted orders of battle to feature list status. I would like to get Order of battle of the Battle of Trenton (and eventually also Order of battle of the Battle of Long Island) promoted; I believe there is sufficient meat in terms of background and detail to do this. I'd welcome any suggestion in terms of suitable content and formatting that you could provide, probably best on the article talk page. Thanks for your input! Magic♪piano 22:02, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
A favour
[edit]Hello, Jackyd101. How are you? I have a favour to ask of you. For reasons unknown to me, some reviewers on my latest FA-bid, Mary of Modena, are wont to elaborate on their initial comments. Time quickly running out, I was wondering if you could take a look at the last remaining issue, the prose, for me. Thank you in advance! -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:26, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! I implemented all of your recommendation. Thanks again. -- Jack1755 (talk) 18:45, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Sinking Tudor Lord Admiral
[edit]Hi! Since you are undoubtedly WP's Lord Admiral, and have been a very helpful and encouraging GA reviewer with John Dudley, 2nd Earl of Warwick back in December, I thought you might be interested that his notorious daddy is in a serious deadlock because of prose problems. Unable to perceive of what these consist, and requested to find "someone else", I would very much appreciate your 3rd opinion or suggestions at Talk:John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland/GA1; even a superficial look could perhaps help a lot. Anyway, thank you! Buchraeumer (talk) 07:25, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
- There is good hope that the issue is resolved now. I found an editor who was interested and happy to give the article a copy edit. I was not aware of this possibility before, so please pardon. I hope everything is o.k. in RL. Have a good time. Buchraeumer (talk) 21:20, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jackyd101
Per MOS:HONORIFIC, in Wikipedia, "Honorary knights and dames are not entitled to "Sir" or "Dame", only the post-nominal letters."
Regards, Bongomatic 00:21, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, that is correct. However Cyril Smith was not an "Honorary knight" but an actual one: honorary knights are non-Commonwealth citizens awarded knighthoods (i.e. Dwight Eisenhower, Bob Geldof or Bono) Cyril Smith was a British Knight Bachelor and therefore his knighthood should be included - indeed in British English it is incorrect not to use the pre-nominal when the full name is given. The section you link to does actual say this, although it is badly written and far from clear.--Jackyd101 (talk) 11:47, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Ambassador Program is looking for new Online Ambassadors
[edit]Hi! Since you've been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, I wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.
If that sounds like you and you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!
You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).
I hope to hear from you soon.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 01:52, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

The Second Ostend Raid was the latter of two failed attempts by the Royal Navy to block the channels accessing the Belgian port of Ostend in 1918. The strategic advantages conferred by the Belgian ports in the conflict were very important; a successful blockade of these bases would have forced German submarines to operate out of more distant ports, such as Wilhelmshaven, on the German coast. The ports of Ostend and Zeebrugge provided sea access via canals for the major inland port of Bruges, which was used as a base for small warships and submarines. The Ostend Raid was largely a failure as a result of heavy German resistance and British navigational difficulties in poor weather. In anticipation of a raid, the Germans had removed the navigation buoys and without them the British had difficulty finding the narrow channel into the harbour in poor weather. When they did discover the entrance, German resistance proved too strong for the operation to be completed as originally planned. British casualties in the raid were heavy, compared to minimal German losses. Despite its failure, the raid was presented in Britain as a courageous and daring gamble which came very close to success. (more...)

Naval Actions 1793-1815
[edit]I saw your sandbox list, and just wanted to say that I recall seeing in a book a distinction made between an action, and engagement, a battle and an operation. I don't think these were contemporary definitions, but this author (and I can't recall which), suggested that an action is a ship-to-ship combat, while an engagement is a multi-ship combat while not being part of a squadron command. A battle would have been a combat where at least one side was operating as part of a unified squadron command, and an operation was a combat where a fleet engaged in combat that allowed multiple squadrons to play their individual parts. A campaign required multiple fleets to operate in unison at least over two distinct operational areas or over a period of at least two seasons. Sadly I can not recall where I saw this, and I'm sure it was not intended to deal with the Napoleonic period, but the author was trying to bring clarity to naval history in general. This may however allow your list to be divided into five. I would also suggest that actions between ships of the line should be in a separate list to those between frigates to offer a better base of comparison. Koakhtzvigad (talk) 19:30, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
- Firstly, I should note that I'm not a regular contributor here any more, so I won't be taking any significant action on this issue whatever the outcome. I haven't read the history you mention and so I can't comment on the source or the era, but it all sounds too complicated to be a practical system of organising naval engagements on Wikipedia (or are you just talking about the list on my user page? If so, that list is divided by campaign and by sequence in which I worked on each article - it isn't intended to be a useful catalogue for anyone but myself).
- I think the system we have now works well. In summary, anything known formally or colloquially as a battle is given the title of "battle" (from Battle of Trafalgar to Battle of Pulo Aura any many others). Secondly, the land-battle system is used, whereby any engagement with no recognised name which was fought close in-shore is named after the nearest feature or settlement (i.e. Battle of Vizagapatam or Battle of Tellicherry). Finally, if the battle was fought far from land and has no recognised name, a simple "Action of [Date]" signifier is used, no matter how many ships were involved or what the outcome was. This is useful because it avoids any accusation of bias, bypasses a potentially complicated set of rules that seperate actions based on the number of vessels involved (such as the one you give above) and allows for simple sorting and cataloguing. I also note that if followed to its logical conclusion, your system would mean that Trafalgar wasn't a battle but an operation (as more than one British squadron was engaged), which doesn't seem practical. Interesting idea though.--Jackyd101 (talk) 22:49, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Most of those who took part in last year's cfd "Former pupils by school in the United Kingdom" seem unaware of them, so I am notifying all those who took part in that discussion, to improve the quality of the discussion by broadening participation to more fully achieve consensus. Please consider contributing here and here. Moonraker (talk) 13:45, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
Order of battle at the Battle of Camperdown
[edit]Hi Jacky,
Great job with getting Order of battle at the Battle of Camperdown up to featured list status! I have nominated the article to go up on the main page in the Today's Featured List section. Some concerns about the article have been raised here. If you are willing to help address these concerns, it would be greatly appreciated.
