Halo Graphic Novel

I'll be glad to help you. I'm taking a peek at GA and FA class book articles; I know what the articles needs as a game article, but I'll see what the formats for books in general are. Dåvid Fuchs (talk / frog blast the vent core!) 13:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'll see what I can do. Dåvid Fuchs (talk / frog blast the vent core!) 13:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Music on The Sopranos

I'm glad that you think highly of the article. I guess I'm not experienced enough to know if it could be a featured list. Would it even qualify as a list, since there's other non-list stuff in the article? Anyway, you're definitely right that this could use the help of some other editors; aside from filling in a lot of the song titles, I wrote most of the article myself. Do you know an easy way to bring the article to the attention of potentially interested editors? That would be really helpful in improving the article beyond what I've been able to do with it. I put a link in the Sopranos template, but aside from that I don't know how to give the article further exposure. Thanks for your help. Thebogusman 23:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of MArston Moor: rewrite

Pardon me, but why did you consider that the article required rewriting ? You have indeed added some valuable and useful information but there was no need to delete any of the previous content, in particular, quotes from primary sources. You have removed from the list of referenced works, some publications which deal exclusively with the battle and contain much primary source material, and replaced them with one printed work which deals generally with the Civil War as a whole, and a web resource which contains several factual inaccuracies. You have introduced several spelling mistakes and errors in punctuation. Please read also the Military History Wikiproject guidelines on the structure of articles on battles; an introduction which repeats much of the information in the main body of the article is superfluous and confusing. Finally, while I grant that the previous version could do with some more references, twenty footnoted citations of a mere ten pages of a single printed work is quite unnecessary.

In a few days I will try and incorporate the previous body of this article with your additions. HLGallon 00:28, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply to this, rather intemperate, message of mine. I have now come off the boil. Please accept my apologies for my implied accusation of sloppiness (with regard to spelling etc); re-reading the article, most of these are minor typos or slips. Royle's work (which I have read) is indeed an excellent resource on the Civil War and related conflicts as a whole. However, Young's book is vital, I believe, not necessarily for its own conclusions and descriptions, but for the body of primary source (contemporary accounts etc.) it quotes unedited at the end, and which I shall try and reintroduce in the article. Young's book was republished by Windrush as late as 1997; some copies must be available from libraries. As I say, some of the text you have added is important to the cohesion and overall picture. Please be assured, I will not simply revert. HLGallon 10:00, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have partially re-edited again. Feel free to improve further, but please leave the following intact:
  • The capture of Selby was an event which precipitated Newcastle's retreat and the start of the Siege of York, it is not merely an afterthought to the importance of York as a Royalist stronghold. (In any case, it is incorrect that York was the "last" Royalist bastion in the north; there were several dozen Royalist garrisons from Carlisle to Pontefract, some of which did not surrender until late 1645, although they had long since lost any military significance.)
  • The forces Rupert gathered to himself were separate Royalist armies with their own missions up to that point; they were not simply a collection of regiments gathered willy-nilly.
  • The Allies took up position on Marston Moor with the specific intention of blocking Rupert's march to York; not simply moving west of York to form a purposeless defensive huddle. Likewise, the bridge at Poppleton must be included in any discussion of Rupert's manoevre.
  • Page numbers are no use for references with Young's work. Because it has run through so many editions, there are many layouts and formats for it.
I have once or twice tried to produce maps showing both Rupert's flank march, and the deployment on the battlefield. It has been difficult to avoid the conflicting traps of NOR (No Original Research) and copyvio (Copyright Violation). I will make renewed efforts to add maps to the article. HLGallon 02:01, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have re-added the original primary quotes, and even another one (Sir T. Fairfax's), to the "Events" section. I have removed references to "Fairfax's cavalry" in Cromwell's later attacks. I think they ought not to be replaced unless some authenticated source (not Royle) can be found to substantiate it. Fairfax himself makes no mention of it. This is not to say that dedicated officers like Fairfax and Lambert would not have rallied any of their men they happened upon in the confusion, but any assertion of this in the text would be surmise. HLGallon 21:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay let me take a look at it and see what I want to do over the next day or so. Aaron Bowen 04:55, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
