Nice work on the Kings of Asturias. Would you consider creating a page List of monarchs of Asturias so that all of them could be listed on a common page? -- Zoe

Thanks! I have been thrashing a bit with crosslinks, a nice list page would indeed be handy! Stan Shebs

Thanks for the work on the early Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. This is something that has been on my plate, but I have been distracted with work on Roman Imperial History, filling in the gaps on Arthur-related topics, & now trying to flesh out materials in my native state of Oregon. Lots of work here in Wikipedia, too few hands to do it with. -- llywrch 00:51 Feb 9, 2003 (UTC)


Hi there. When you import articles from the 1911EB, could you convert units to SI please? You'll find links to online converters for different types around the Orders of magnitude pages --- Tarquin 16:43 Feb 12, 2003 (UTC)

<groan>  :-) OK. Stan Shebs 17:52 Feb 12, 2003 (UTC)

Sorry about that List of Battles deletion. No, I did not get any warning when I was saving. I think I may have at least edited some English Civil War entriest but that's about it. Skysmith 19:09 Feb 12, 2003 (UTC) Some of its fixed Skysmith 19:46 Feb 12, 2003 (UTC)


Two weeks later, it seems more like being an ADD-afflicted magpie in a bottle cap factory! -- ROTFL! Beware, Wikipedia is addictive! -- Tarquin 12:01 Feb 14, 2003 (UTC)

Ha! That one is going into my highly selective Wikipedia quote file. -- Stephen Gilbert 18:13 Feb 22, 2003 (UTC)

Wow, that was quick! Thank you. That's one of the things I like about Wikipedia, I get to learn something new practically every day. - Hephaestos 17:34 Feb 22, 2003 (UTC)

Just returning the favor! You do a lot to make the 'pedia useful to me! Stan Shebs 06:18 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)

Hey, Stan, when you import an DANFS article, would you mind expanding the highly-abbreviated stats? For example, "(CA-68: dp. 13,300; l. 673'5"; b. 70'10"; dr. 26'10"; s. 33 k.; cpl. 1142; a. 9 8", 12 5"; cl. Baltimore)" is slightly harder to puzzle out (especially for some of the lubbers around here) than

General Characteristics

  • Displacement: 13,300 tons
  • Length: 673.5 feet
  • Beam: 70.9 feet
  • Draft: 26.9 feet
  • Speed: 33 knots
  • Complement: 1142 officers and men
  • Armament: nine eight-inch guns, 12 five-inch guns

--the Epopt

I was going to go back and do those, I swear... (plus SI equivs per Tarquin request previously) Stan Shebs 11:49 Feb 25, 2003 (UTC)

We may want to divvy up the ships in some way. I spent some time formatting the two Alabama BBs, only to find that you'd already done them! You wanna take odd hull numbers and I'll take even? ;-> --the Epopt

Bummer - I hate when that happens! Perhaps even/odd first letters of names? I've been doing some Bs because hazegray.org has complete histories from Vol 1B, so I could continue with Ds, Fs, Hs, etc. Stan Shebs 17:52 Feb 25, 2003 (UTC)
