Disambiguation link notification for August 28[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ranulph Crewe, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page James Ley. 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.

GPMG[edit]

Your are welcome to add any relevant information that you like to the article. The quote in question just reads well and was much better than the twisted Russian propaganda that it replaced. The references from other sources were added to reinforce the quote.

As for you idea of merging the machine-gun articles together...I can guarantee that will never happen. The other editors will never go for it. And, if by some miracle you get a consensus today, in a few weeks or months the separate articles would reappear. (Sorry...I forgot to add this paragraph earlier.)

As for the other articles, have at it. I think the key is to remove as much irrelevant and unreferenced info as possible. We are not writing books here and the readers do not need a history of the gun lesson in every article. Just get to the point of the article. don't stray off the beaten path and don't forget to highlight the mile markers--RAF910 (talk) 16:14, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Query[edit]

Hi there! Forgive me if it seems like I'm fishing for compliments, but, I was wondering if I could get your opinion of my mentioning the parasitic fossil fungus Palaeoophiocordyceps in Albicoccus? I think it would be worth mentioning there, but, the fungus' paper makes no attempt to describe or identify the host insect beyond saying it is a male albicoccid. And since Albicoccidae is a monotypic family, I opted to shoehorn mention of it as a pathogen.--Mr Fink (talk) 04:29, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
