Notability of incomplete ships

Do note that ships do not have to be completed to be notable: see Grom class destroyer (1939). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 18:52, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good point; thanks for this. However, for the two ships in question we have good information at the target so I don't think that we should delete the redirect unless some clear evidence of notability is presented. Best, Bridgeplayer (talk) 23:42, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar and an enquiry

		The Redirect Barnstar
		For your continuing good work at WP:RFD, with tireless contributions and willingness to do the tough jobs in this important but unregarded area. Also awarded for your good judgement evidenced on many occasions, in particular your closing statement at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2011 October 23#Wikipedia:DGUIDE Thryduulf (talk) 21:17, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's the barnstar, and now the enquiry - would you be interested in being nominated for adminship? I've seen you in action often enough at RFD to know that you have the judgement it takes to become an admin, and the willingness to wield the mop when required. The awards on your userpage and the discussions here on your user talk also indicate that I'm not the only one who thinks you're capable and I highly doubt I'm the only one who thinks you are deserving. So, are you interested? Thryduulf (talk) 21:17, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sorry for the delay in replying but I've been away for a few days. Many thanks for the barnstar, it is much appreciated. Certainly the buttons that come with being an admin would greatly enhance my RFD work; both in closing more discussions and being able to action obvious speedy deletions. So, yes, I would certainly be interested. Best, Bridgeplayer (talk) 01:12, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad to hear that. I'll work on a nomination statement when I get time over the next couple of days (probably wont be much tomorrow) at user:Thryduulf/BPRFA. Probably aim for making the actual nomination this weekend. Thryduulf (talk) 02:15, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'm not going to be able to react much until Saturday evening anyway because I will be chasing around sorting out some real life tasks (isn't it really annoying how real life gets in the way of our more important Wikipedia work :-) ). Bridgeplayer (talk) 02:24, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Later than I planned to do it but the first draft of my nomination statement is at User:Thryduulf/BPRFA. Make all the comments on it you want, particularly if there is anything I haven't covered that you'd like me to mention. Thryduulf (talk) 00:34, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sorry for the delay but my wife's parents are not too well so I have been distracted by the necessary running around. I have just made a few grammatical tweaks. Best, Bridgeplayer (talk) 00:18, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, and your edits are just fine. Let me know when it's a good time for you to run, RFA is a much more stressful (and more complicated) place nowadays than it was back in 2005. It's probably going to be best to wait until your real life will let you spend the time on it, but it;s entirely your choice. Thryduulf (talk) 01:50, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

July 2012 Study of authors of health-related Wikipedia pages

Dear Author/Bridgeplayer

My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address edited an article on 2007 Bernard Matthews H5N1 outbreak. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance.

-:Gosh darn it BP, you beat me to it there, while I was "otherwise engaged". I had a whole page mocked-up and everything back in August! I commend you for so studiously avoiding his own '''Bessone, R. (1976), ''Raymond – The outrageous autobiography of Teasie-Weasie'', London, Wyndham Publications, ISBN 0-352-39757-8''' - which was my only source. In fact, I thought the picture of him on the cover might be usable under-fair use as an image for the article. I still have it if required. The book is gloriously candid and quite amusing. But well done on a super job. [[User:Martinevans123|Martinevans123]] ([[User talk:Martinevans123|talk]]) 22:04, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
