Question: Fees

If it is ok for the Wikipedia Foundation to extract 10% of a book's gross costs (no issues with that) what percentage does the Author get if there are a number of books purchased by others around the world? Geoff. 112SU Stornoway (talk) 15:20, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GeoffH 1125SU (formerly 112SU Stornoway): I don't understand the question. By the way, thanks for changing your username, it's much less likely to confuse. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 02:12, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your username

Based on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/112 Signals Unit, Stornoway, your username appears to be that of an organization, or it is confusing enough that others may think you are representing that organization.

Wikipedia does not allow shared accounts, and it strongly discourages editing "on behalf of" organizations. If more than one person is using this account, please abandon this account and create new accounts for each user. If only one person is using this account, please rename it. Names implying that the person using the account may change over time are not allowed either, so a name like "Accountant, 112SU Stornoway" would not work. However, "John Doe, Accountant, 112SU Stornoway" would. I would strongly recommend NOT using a name associated with this organization. See Wikipedia:Username policy for more information on Wikipedia's username policy and instructions to request a change of username.

If you are just a fan of this organization and chose the name in the same way that a Star Trek fan might choose "Tribble," please realize that your name is confusing and it would be best to change it even if it does not violate the username policy. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 22:26, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We noticed though that when you edited RAF Limavady, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Hudson, Blenheim and Defiant (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

RAF St Davids

Good Afternoon

I have been looking through the RAF St Davids article and noticed you seem to be only including specific information regarding Squadron aircraft in the Squadron table, for example for 517 Sqn you completely missed out the fact that the Squadron also operated the Halifax V during the same timespan. Also you have missed out information regarding changing of different marks of aircraft such as for 53 Sqn you missed out the fact they also operated the VI version as well. Information on Wikipedia is used by people for research and such errors could be damaging for Wikipedia. I have fixed these errors for you this time but I will not again in the future.

Please be more careful.

Thanks. Gavbadger (talk) 18:05, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments. Although I respect your experience, given your mild rebuke I do have to take issue with you. The article submitted was about St Davids, an airfield whose overall detail was totally missing even though it was used by a number of squadrons whose articles refered to it (red ink). My initial priority was to emphasise the airfield and to indicate which squadrons used it when rather than specific aircraft makes and marks detail until specific detail could be verified. As it was there was some additional squadron detail that even you missed. For instance, when I look to my personal references, it could be said that Hampden aircraft of 517 also went to St Davids but, in my eyes that needed verification prior to publication. I have to agree however that the Halifax reference should have been included. With 53 Squadron I purposely left out the later Liberator IV reference until I could get that detail verified particularly as I had already included the earlier VIII reference.

With Wiki it is always the case that more could be written than has been written. My rationale has been to initially write what is verifiable on a broad front then submit later detail updates following further researches. Better to leave out verifiable information for a later time than include unverifiable information early. 'Publish and be damned' is not a philosophy I subscribe to although I'm not infallible either. There was an unfortunate timing issue too as your comment came in 90 minutes following publication and before I had the opportunity apply any necessary updates. I thank you for showing such active interest and passing back your comments though (and maybe you could confirm that the 517' Hampdens should be included?).GeoffH 112SU (talk) 06:56, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you recently removed all content from 112 Signals Unit Stornoway, with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, I restored the page's content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 08:07, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason, there was just a rash of page blankings. If you want to create a sandbox in your user account, I would suggest putting a link to it in your User:GeoffH 112SU page such as [[User:GeoffH 112SU/Life of GeoffH]] That way you don't loose track of it. Then just click on the link and start editing. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:24, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, place a new {{help me}} request on this page followed by your questions, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I noticed in another public Wiki page there was an external reference to one of my User/subpages. How can I make these subpages semi-private until I'm ready to release them please?GeoffH 112SU (talk) 11:33, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford meetup

Thank you for attending the tenth Oxford Meetup, and it was a pleasure meeting you. We have this as a regular monthly event, on the third Sunday of the month (in order not to clash with London [second Sunday]). I have created a page about the eleventh Oxford Meetup; please sign up if you think that you are able to attend - if the date or venue are unsuitable, please comment at its discussion page.

Please spread the word to anybody else who you think might be interested. The next UK meetup is Belfast, 23 November 2013. To keep up to date with other meetups, check the top of your watchlist for messages beginning "Interested in having a chat with fellow Wikipedians? There are forthcoming meetups in...", or put one or more of these three pages on your watchlist: Template:UK Wikipedia meetups; Template:Meetup-UK; Wikipedia:Meetup/UK.

Regarding your login problem on meta: - judging by WP:CHU, you probably need to make a request at meta:WM:CHU but that will fix it for Meta only. To fix for Commons etc. each separate project will need an individual request on that project. --Redrose64 (talk) 13:41, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - the meetup was interesting, thanks for the information. I found out that I didn't have a unified address so I applied that fix so we'll see how that works out. As for the next meetup I've pencilled it in but as my wife hits a significant birthday on Christmas Day my spare-time might get reprioritised! I'll know nearer the time and will update the message accordingly. But thanks for last Sunday. G.

Looking forward to tomorrow's meeting, Sunday 19th January at Oxford.GeoffH 112SU (talk) 12:30, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, good. I didn't understand whether this edit meant that you would be coming or not. --Redrose64 (talk) 13:26, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, haven't got my head round how to add my name and message etc to the list of attendees without copying someone else's message and modifying it. Maybe you can show me this afternoon. G.GeoffH 112SU (talk) 09:59, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, since the edit (the one that I linked above) was recorded under the name GeoffH 112SU in the page history, this means that Meta: recognises the same username that you have here. In which case, all you should need to do would be to add a line like this:

#Yes, I can come. ~~~~

The four tildes would then expand to your signature, just as it does on English Wikipedia. The # symbol at the start creates an entry in an enumerated list, whose number is one greater than that of the previous entry. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:12, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks Redrose64... GeoffH 112SU (talk) 11:46, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
