[edit] World War II

It would be nice if Osprey would include works about lesser known combatant countries of World War II, such as Brazil, Mexico, and Thailand. It would also be nice if colonial armies of World War II such as the French Armee d'Afrique, the British Indian Army, the Dutch East Indies Army, America's Philippine Army, Philippine Constabulary, and Philippine Scouts were also featured. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.177.218.22 (talk) 09:36, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spain

There are some very interesting Spanish military units which should be featured among the titles of Osprey such as the 1st King's Immemorial Regiment, which is said to be the oldest military unit in the world, and the Spanish Marines, which are said to be the oldest Marine unit in the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.4.38.253 (talk) 03:26, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright

I recently made in inquiry to Osprey, as I know a lot of Wikipedia articles use either text or artwork from them. Here is the response I got. Palm_Dogg 19:28, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the vast majority of the text of the page since it was a copyright violation of the Osprey Publishing website's own history page. We now just have a link to the Osprey website, and a short statement that the company is a British publishing company along with various stub notices on the page. David Newton 11:04, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
