[edit] Operation Black Buck

I reverted it because it was unnecessary, the sentence implies they turned the radar off during Black Buck raids, which is true. Personally I assumed your edit was made in good faith to improve the article but the grammar and context were incorrect and it was unnecessary. I don't have room in edit summaries for prolonged apologies explaining why I reverted, I would suggest you do not infer anything from that - it certainly does not imply you were assuming my actions were made in good faith.

Hi, noticed this discussion on Justin's talk page, how much more "gentle" do you want it!? I don't see a problem with Justin's tone. Ryan4314 (talk) 17:00, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Who are you ? and what are you talking about ? --Jor70 (talk) 17:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Well my signature should tell you "who I am", and do u really need help working out what I am talking about??? Ryan4314 (talk) 17:53, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I would imagine Ryan is referring to your original post on my talk page. It was unnecessarily accusatory. Justin talk 19:49, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Falklands War

Do you have any comment on the Spanish phrase used in the Psywar leaflet? My limited grasp of the language indicates its somewhat scrambled. Justin talk 16:09, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry Justin I didnt follow you, could you pls show me a link? --Jor70 (talk) 16:32, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

used here on the article [1] and discussed here [2]. Justin talk 16:35, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

"Islas de LOS condenados": condenado (used for guilty and already with a punishment) convicto (just guilty). In this case perhaps they meant as punishment to fight in the islands ? --Jor70 (talk) 16:56, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

My guess is that they were printed in a rush and the author didn't speak Spanish properly, hence what we would call "broken Spanish". I can't remember the Spanish word but its a bit like "pidgin English", do you understand what I mean? There was a comment from an IP editor who pointed out it was incorrect, I wondered whether that should not have been removed. Justin talk 08:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Addendum. According to the original source, the title is supposed to be "Islands of the Condemned" but I think the author's Spanish was incorect. Justin talk 11:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, dont know what a pidgin English is. Anyway, for the pourpose of the article, I think "Islands of the Condemned" is clear enough --Jor70 (talk) 13:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cardiff

Ah ha ha, have you looked at the Cardiff's edit history recently or ever? Tell you what, I'll put a link up to save you the trouble and here's a link to the huge rewrite I did, I'm also guiding the article to FA class at the moment. Now if you'd asked me nicely I would've told you my edit summary was meant to say; "Woah, what's going on here? LOL every other ships "extra note" is about what damage it received", but I accidentally pressed "return" to early. I don't expect an apology for your tone, but it'd be nice if u reverted your change, as I'm gonna do it anyway. Ryan4314 (talk) 21:20, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

You haven't replied to me, I know you feel strongly about things like that [3]? Ryan4314 (talk) 14:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
