This is Bahamut0013's talk page, where you can send messages and comments to Bahamut0013.

  • Please sign and date your posts by typing four tildes (~~~~).
  • New to Wikipedia? Welcome! Ask questions, get answers.
  • Put new text under old text, but please don't create a new section if a relevant one already exists, even if there is older discussion below. Click here to start a new section. Please do not archive my talk pages, even if there seems to be an excessive number. I will manually archive them when I feel I no longer need them. Similarly, please do not refactor this page, I am very meticulous about my arrangement and will do my own refactoring (shifting discussion and headers as necessary).
  • I will attempt to respond to your talk page whenever possible. If you prefer to respond to me on your own talk page, please leave me a note telling to to refer there, such as Template:Talkback. Otherwise, I might not check your talk page for a while. If a third party gets involved, it will go to hell quickly and get confusing, so we might want to try a centralized discussion page.
  • If you're here to be uncivil or a dick, you may as well not bother. I won't be able to respect a message that insults me, so don't waste your time. If you are unhappy with something I've done, then address your concerns to me in a manner that begets mutual respect; you're more likely to get what you want if you don't treat me like your enemy.
  • I do not remove personal attacks directed at me from this page. If you spot any, please do not remove them, as they speak more against the attacker than against me.

Warning

Ouch! You've used a template to send a message to an experienced editor. Please review Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars or maybe listen to a little advice. Doesn't this feel cold, impersonal, and canned? It's meant in good humor. Best wishes. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 15:58, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Battleships

Sweet. I, too, am surprised that the delivery guys would bother to show up so late, but those are awesome models. If you get the other models you're going to have an interesting battle on your hands. I'd give the Yamato and Bismark team a slight edge over the Missouri and New Jersey team with regards to firepower, but I'd bet the Missouri and New Jersey team for the total victory since the New Jersey version has missiles :) USN all the way! TomStar81 (Talk) 02:50, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you know what they say: anything worth having is worth working for :) Good luck on the model making, I'm looking forward to hearing about the completed versions. TomStar81 (Talk) 08:25, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My memory is a little hazy on this point, but i seem to recall that they signed the surrender near the #2 turret on the starboard side. The aft deck would've made more sense, but the photos of the surrender ceremony seem to center on the area just below and a little behind the bridge aboard Missouri.

3rd Civil Affairs Group

Would you mind chiming in here on the Talk Page? I asked for this page to be protected because of an edit war & your honest comment one way or the other would be appreciated. It starts at the Combined Joint Task Force - Consequence Management section. Thanks! FieldMarine (talk) 18:32, 10 March 2011 (UTC) [reply]

Hi Sgt!

Thanks for the note. I've rarely been on Wikipedia. Was checking USMC pages/news today in light of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Marines in Japan will be providing aid. Noticed that the "picture" and the "quote" were blank on the Portal. Just redirected to older ones. Hope all is well with you and you are safe. — ERcheck (talk) 00:24, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you have time, here is a link to a picture that could be posted with the top news item on the Portal.... Marines loading relief supplies. [1] — ERcheck (talk) 00:46, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AUSC

Hey, I referred to you in a post on WT:ACN. Granted, it was in abstract terms rather than by name, but it seems courteous just to let you know. Best of luck, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 04:43, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mk43 pages vs Mk48

Hi again...I was just browsing other articles that are still up on Wikipedia and seem to have everyone's blessing. There is a Mk48 page up that doesn't seem to have any more references that I do on the Mk43 so I"m wondering if I should just model a new Mk43 page on that since it seems to be acceptable? The Mk48 doesn't really have any more need for it's own page than the Mk43 does, so what's the difference? I'd like to go back and resubmit the Mk43 soon.

Thank you Littlemslawandorder (talk) 18:54, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hyphenating ship class names

Re: the October discussion you participated in on hyphenating ship names, User:SW is willing to make a mass move with a bot if there is a consensus here. — kwami (talk) 21:48, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Marine Corps Forces Reserve

Bahamut, seems this page United States Marine Corps Reserve is lacking the full proper name. The insignia says "U.S. Marine Corps Forces Reserve", but that term is not used in the article. (Except in the official EL, which I corrected.) ALSO, the 3rd paragraph says "MARFORRES comprises two groups of Marines and Sailors." I know that Navy medics get assigned to USMC units, but are these Navy medics part of MARFORRES? Thanks. --S. Rich (talk) 23:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Bahamut. I thinking you had a quick and easy answer. I think I'll simply change the naming sentence to reflect what the insignia says. Rather than researching the sailor question, I'll tag to clarify. The idea of including the Navy medics in the units is most sensible, but explaining to the readers is needed too.--S. Rich (talk) 14:15, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for notifying me about the debates going on about some of my articles. I think I'll probably stay out of it, and if enough of my Wikipedia piers feel certain articles aren't notable, I'll accept it. Though I just want to point out with humor, I notice you referred to me as 'he'. I'm actually a 'she', but I can see where someone can make the assumption from my name and the subjects I tend to focus on. Packerfansam (talk) 18:13, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, I'm a tomboy, it happens. Packerfansam (talk) 06:08, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations

... on your appointment to arbitration audit sub-committee. Regards Peter S Strempel | Talk 17:02, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious ... any idea why they didn't +sysop you, or do AUSC members usually not need to work with seeing deleted page histories? (Or, does oversight give you access to viewing regular-deleted pages?) /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 16:36, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The Arbitration committee does not have the authority to +sysop in the English Wikipedia, it is solely up to the bureaucratic discretion. That aside, having the +oversight flag enables a user to see all deletion related logs, as it is an extension of the deletion tool. Think of the the log part as grandfathered in. With that in mind, bahamut0013 can technically perform deletion related admin actions but will not do so with the tools just being an AUSC member. Should he run for adminship and be granted, he can use the deletion tools as a run-of-the-mill administrator. bahamut0013 does not have technical access to block or protect. Keegan (talk) 07:23, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Goodness, this is a bigger buzz than I expected. There was some discussion about this at Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard#Audit Subcommittee appointments (2011) if you feel the need to opine there. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 19:29, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Can I not just nominate you for the tools? :) AGK [•] 22:33, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is, of course, your perrogative to nominate anyone you like. I will not turn down such an honor (you're not the first to suggest it, just the first to do so publicly). bahamut0013wordsdeeds 19:29, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MCRD San Diego

I see that you removed a photo that shows what the MCRD buildings looked like during a ceremony with a military band in the 1980's. None of the photos on that page shows what the MCRD actually looked like. There's a map, a detail of an emblem above a doorway, and a Marine walking through an archway. Speaking as a video editor for the last 20-some years, it's traditional to present what we call an "establishing" or wide shot that shows the topic, and then zoom in to the details.

Instead of summarily rejecting the photo, why not instead add a Gallery section? Although I am a newbie, I have seen this done to great effect with articles that seem to have more than a few photographs. People who are interested in learning about the MCRD would naturally want to see all that is available on the topic. That particular shot is unique in that not many civilians had the opportunity to photograph events on base, and soldiers on the base were too busy soldiering to take any photographs.

LST AfD

Hey, I just wanted to say, for the record, I have no sense of dislike for the ship in question. My stance comes from having seen in one AfD (I can't remember what the article was, or else I would have brought it up in the AfD) where a MILHIST convention was used to support a number of keep !votes, which were then discounted on the grounds that the convention they cited was contrary to policy/guidelines. My main reservation with giving the level of credence to WikiProject conventions as is happening in the AfD is this: Suppose WikiProject:Pokémon had sole control over standards of inclusion for pokemon related articles. Given the nature of pokemon fans, we would likely see a return of articles on individual pokemon, written like fan magazine entries. The forgoing would then give the general public the impression that we accept low quality articles on things that, in the grand scheme of things, aren't that important. Thats how I look at the LST in question. LSTs as a type of ship are important. An individual LST, unless it has some remarkable distinction (Like being repurposed as a research vessel, museum ship, or a static display) isn't. There are so many of them, they are not terribly exotic as far as ships go, and their function is rather mundane. I appologise if any of arguments have offended you, and please no that I did not enter into this to make a WP:POINT. Given how this AfD has gone, I will take my arguments elsewhere.
