Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Saltmarsh! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Acetic'Acid 14:38, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] FRS

Happy to leave things as they are.--Runcorn 09:10, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm not aware of similar discussions. The thing to do is initiate one on WP:VPP, or on a separate page with a reference to it on WP:VPP. Happy to help you draft something.--Runcorn 16:46, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Please activate your e-mail; it will make discussions much easier.--Runcorn 19:26, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Astms.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Astms.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

That is ridiculous, it has sat happily in the entry for three years, why query it now? Anyway, this is a defunct logo for an organisation that ceased trading when Nelson was still a midshipman and has no members, no officials, no staff, no offices or anyone at all who could possibly complain about its use here...even poor old Clive Jenkins is dead 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 01:03, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Royal Observer Corps

I have reorganised the ROC entry with a few more sub headings to make it read easier. I have also added a couple of photographs and greatly expanded the Cold War and Post Cold War sections up to stand down. I was Personnel Services Officer (PSO) at HQROC during the stand down. Have a glance over the changes and see how it sits, I am always open to suggestions for changes.

PS. I wrote the update for Derek Woods "Attack Warning Red" that covered the period from 1975 - 1991. He asked me for rough notes, which I provided, then he ran out of time so it was printed exactly as I had written it in the notes (Doh) 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 16:19, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
