[edit] Thanks for verifying..
The spelling of Yangtse for me. I was making several spelling corrections at once and Yangtze happened to be one that came up as a correct spelling. Bobo. 22:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- no problemo, I had a sneaky suspicion it was spelled this way when I originally edited the article and had checked it out. Emoscopes Talk

[edit] Largs Bay, Mounts Bay & Cardigan Bay
Hey, will sort these out for you tomorrow. Will add them to their relevant individual pages, was there anywhere else you wanted them? PS, cheers for your help with deciding on licensing. JonEastham 22:24, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ship class - italicise or not?
I italicised the class name for the Hunts, following guidance at (Wikipedia:Manual of Style (titles)). It doesn't exclude class names that aren't also ship names. Checked one of the M J Whitley volumes: Capitani Romani class is italicised; whereas a Janes handbook is inconsistent. Where did you obtain the rule you quoted? Folks at 137 14:24, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help. The rule doesn't seem right to me, especially given the authors that we've both quoted. On the other hand, it's not something to waste time on. Infuriating! Folks at 137 17:28, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Canna - I think it's fine now. I understand what 'waisted by a tarbert' means, but I fear many people wouldn't! (Are you a poet in your spare time, I wonder?). Dhmellor 16:54, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Flower class sloop
Thanks for tidying up and adding to Flower class sloop and associated pages. Welsh 12:04, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hunt Class photos
Have upload photos of Atherstone, Quorn and Brecon. Brecon and Quorn have been added to their respective pages along with a blank info box as is standard on most other ship pages ready to be filled in. Atherstone has then been placed on the main Hunt class page in the box. Hope this is ok JonEastham 14:25, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] White Ensign
The use of galleries doesn't work for me. For some reason, they don't work in my browser (Opera 9.1) - advice welcome, and I'm iffy about the concept. I like illustrations to be close to the relevant text and it also breaks up the grey text wodges. Anyway at present, the pictures are blanks (hope others can see them), but I don't want to offend with a bald revert. I should be more ruthless!! Folks at 137 20:32, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- You're a gent!! Sorry to be a nuisance. BTW, there's trouble brewing on Battle of the River Plate, if you have an opinion. Peruse the talk page and history for the background. Folks at 137 22:17, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Changes to the pre-1801 white ensign
Hey. I've just seen you've made a change to the shade of blue on the pre-1801 White Ensign. The shade of blue was actually made darker for the 1801 revision of the flag at the request of the Admiralty. I wasn't able to find any definitive value for the shade of blue used prior to then, but it was certainly lighter than the shade used on the present day flag.

[edit] Destroyer funnel bands
I just wanted to say thank you for your work on the pennant numbers article. I've been trying to find a complete list of the RN's funnel bands for several years. What was your original source? JimmyTheOne 21:00, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
