Hoi Jakko, ik heb je verandering in Zealandic, een verandering van "impossible" naar "difficult", maar weer ongedaan gemaakt. Wat jij waarschijnlijk wilde zeggen, dat een Hollander een Zeeuw wel kan verstaan maar met moeite, wordt al in de zin uitgelegd, en "... makes easy comprehension difficult" is een litotes van jewelste.

O ja, en welkom op de Engelse Wikipedia trouwens. Caesarion 12:25, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jane's All the World's Aircraft, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mach (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

July 2014

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Cruiser Mk II may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

mm}} standard (the A9 was {{convert|14|mm|in|abbr=on}}); a speed of {{convert|10|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}) was acceptable.<ref>AFV Profile No. 6 p2</ref> The two sub-turrets present on the A9 were removed,

Deadman Switch

The extant article is about deadman switches, safety devices which prevent accidents from happening in the event of inattention or, literally, in case someone dies at the switch. It is nothing to do with your suggested firearm update. Please read the extant article. Thanks. Damotclese (talk) 01:41, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted it also and got a page collision on top of your revert. That article has nothing to do with firearms, and the firearm link had nothing to do with dead man switch. TrainsOnTime (talk) 03:13, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Humvee M996 edit

Hello JakkoWesterbeke; I reverted your M996 edit as the information provided in the section you deleted this from was all taken from the latest edition of Jane's Logistics, Support & Unmanned (2015-2016). I did not cite every line of this section, just the introductory text as I thought this would suffice, but it's entire contents save a couple of points are from this source, an internationally recognized source. If you cite from another source that the M996 was in fact produced, I see no reason why we could not add this conflicting information. Do you have a citable source? I used to have some contacts at AM General when I had a 'real job' so for completeness will see if I can get something more from the horses mouth on the subject...

I am quite new to Wiki but have learned quickly that a myriad of Talk options exist, and to me (at least...) it can be easy to get lost in them... I will paste these words into your talk page as well.--Wolpat (talk) 16:04, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I should add, I'll also Google a bit later and see what my own search turns up.Wolpat (talk) 16:07, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update... Found limited images on www. but no contractual confirmation, but AM Gen are on the case; they are going through the full list for me and will correct as required. --Wolpat (talk) 19:50, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have half a dozen or so photos of M996 mini-ambulances in service with the US Army in Germany in the 90s: this one, for example, or this one. Compare them to this M997 and you can easily spot that the first two are lower, and must therefore be M996s. Jakko Westerbeke (talk) 22:18, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They certainly do look like the M996. It is looking like Jane's have it wrong on this occasion, but let's wait and see what AM Gen say, if you don't mind. Could your images be pre-FRP; LRIP or similar? Just a random thought. Will let you know what AM Gen say as soon as I hear from them.Wolpat (talk) 10:05, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The photos are from the early ’90s — I didn’t take them (I bought them in a second-hand-bookstore), but they have printer’s stamps on the back in the range of about 1990–’94, off the top of my head, and some have definite dates written on them with a pen. If you check the photos on my Flickr page, the dates given with them there are either those written on the back, or my best guess based on the printer’s stamps. It pays to remember that Jane’s isn’t infallible either :) Jakko Westerbeke (talk) 11:11, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[1] Sammy D III (talk) 02:36, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Made contact with AM Gen, and they are on the case. They're going through the entire Type Classified lists I gave them for all variants and will annotate accordingly. So hopefully, we'll get something concrete in the not-too-distant future. Will be difficult to cite though, but that's another bridge to cross should it ever appear!Wolpat (talk) 10:35, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Quarter

Hi, re this - are we sure it's the unit of weight that is intended and not the unit of volume? DuncanHill (talk) 13:37, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, I'm sure it's volume, see for example Monthly grain prices in England, 1270-1955. DuncanHill (talk) 13:43, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
