Landing at Nadzab[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your addition to Landing at Nadzab. Can you please add a page number to the reference used in this edit though [1]? As it is a Featured Article please also use the referencing format adopted in the rest of the article. As such the format should be <ref>{{harvnb|Hoehn|2011|p=}}</ref> If you have any questions about this please let me know. Cheers. Anotherclown (talk) 12:39, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. Anotherclown (talk) 13:17, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Anotherclown. Thanks for your message. It appears that the page number (46) has now been added at the end of the relevant line, quote "with 8 folboats the day before". If this was corrected / added by you, many thanks. Cheers, Ozistry (talk) 11:29, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Timor and the use of inline citations[edit]

Hello again. Thanks for taking the time to help expand this article; however, the information that you added [2] on the evacuations aboard the Tjerk Hiddes and USS Gudgeon is already included in the article (please see Battle of Timor#Australian withdrawal, December 1942 – February 1943). Also the background section of an article is meant to provide the details leading up to the event (i.e. before it) so information on the withdrawals is also chorological out of place here at any rate. For these reasons I have undone your edit. This said the use of folboats during the operations on Timor does seem to be an interesting fact so it could be worked into the relevant sections. If you do decide to do this pls ensure any information you add is accompanied by an inline citation and a page number so that it to readers where the information came from. For instructions on how to do this please see Wikipedia:Inline citation. All the best. Anotherclown (talk) 21:33, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To follow on from Anotherclown's comment above, unfortunately I've had to undo your edits on the Donald Stott article as they were largely unsourced - an inline citation and page number is required. Also, one of your edits removed important material from the lead (which is supposed to summarise the main text of the article) and you should only add references when they are actually cited in the text. Hope that helps with your future edits. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 09:16, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Anotherclown. Re chronolical order about 'withdrawals'. Thanks for pointing this out. I have re-positioned some of the text to what I can best figure is a better place and cited with No. 10, however in 'Notes'- 10, even though I've read the guidelines, it doesn't seem to be worded properly. Sorry, I'm fairly new to Wiki editing. regards, Ozistry (talk) 14:24, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect use of urls in citation templates[edit]

Hello again Ozistry. Please do not place urls in fields such as "authorlink" or "publisher" like you have been doing in the citation templates on Landing at Nadzab and elsewhere (for instance your edit here [3], with similar edits having had to be reverted by a couple of different editors, including here [4], [5], and [6]. Please see the following documentation for an explanation of what goes where Template:Citation and Template:Cite book. Specifically complete urls for a copy of the book (e.g. "http://www.example.com/example.html") can be added using the "url" field, whilst the "authorlink" field is for the internal link to the author's Wikipedia entry (if they have one), while the "publisher" field is for the name of the publisher (not its website). Thanks. Anotherclown (talk) 04:51, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Snake-class junk[edit]

Hello there! You may want to take a look at my recent edit of Snake-class junk. I commented out a reference, because it was not defined and was thus creating an error. I thought I should let you know, as you've done recent work on the article, and you added the Hoehn work, which this reference referred to. If you could clarify the reference, that would be great. Thanks! Jessicapierce (talk) 05:40, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
