composer's project review - Louis Spohr
LOUIS SPOHR article - Life section There is only one footnote among many paragraphs. Looking thru the history, it seems that many Anons have added here and there but Editors MDCollins, Kanx1976, HIS33407district61, FeanorStar7, and Beannaithe are at least (hopefully) still around to add footnotes to this section where they contributed? I don't have access to the biographical books - I've been to the library today and have the latest edition of the New Grove entry on Spohr, and the article in the International Encyclopedia of Music and Musicians 11th edition - but can't correlate every line from these, nor would I want to edit what is most probably verifiable information from the references noted if they could simply be properly attributed. Any hope on you guys coming back and "finishing the job"? I'll note this on the user pages of the above. HammerFilmFan (talk) 23:10, 1 July 2011 (UTC) HammerFilmFan
1st Rhode Island Regiment
Thank you for fixing the 1st Rhode Island Regiment article. I've been bitten by the ARW bug and recently noticed that it was virtually identical to the 2nd Rhode Island Regiment article. I just bought a copy of Robert K. Wright, Jr.'s Continental Army and was about to go to work. Djmaschek (talk) 03:59, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- I noticed that too (been working on Battle of Rhode Island). Darn vandals... Magic♪piano 13:14, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
1740 Batavia massacre
You may be interested in looking at 1740 Batavia massacre again; it's been expanded about half over since you did the peer review. No luck in finding who led the troops though! Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:08, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
American Revolution
"Revert per comment you didn't read" is what you said for this . However please refrain from restoring flase information and know that I reccommend you look at Lafayette's wiipedia page and it says that he was from the Kingdom of France. First of all, I remember going to school and hearing my Social Studiesteacher say "George Washington also was helped by a person from the Kingdom of France, Marquis de Lafayette, and seond of all, I also recall taking a test in 4th grade about the revolutionary war when I came across the question that asked "Was Lafayette from France, Spain, Britain, or Portugal?". I answered "France" and I got it right (I still have the test). I don't get how Lafayette could be an American when he was born in Chavaniac, France. ImhotepBallZ (talk) 23:08, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- The comment you didn't read is in the American Revolutionary War article, before Lafayette's flag. It says:
- Lafayette, although he was French, was commissioned into the Continental Army. Edits changing this flag to the French flag will be reverted.
- The flags represent the commander's allegiance, not nationality. Since Lafayette's held an American commission, he gets an American flag. If you disagree, feel free to open a discussion on the subject at WT:MILHIST. Magic♪piano 04:07, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
My friend, I've read your response, but let's see what happens. But I saw the comment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ImhotepBallZ (talk • contribs) 17:48, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
I've begin a review of your nomination at Talk:Battle of Lake Pontchartrain/GA1. I think it's a very interesting, well written article (very well illustrated) but I do have some comments - mostly about making the article more accessible to a general reader. Thanks, MathewTownsend (talk) 19:06, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- You made excellents changes and it passed. Congratulations! MathewTownsend (talk) 01:35, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Loyalist (American Revolution), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Regulators (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi MagicPiano. I have just noticed that around twelve months ago you made some major amendments to the above article. I have to point out that you have added a great deal that, I expect, is good -
but you have wiped out the rest of the topic after around 1776 and instead introduced from Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online a whole lot of people who did not hold that post. Shouldn't they be in their own article?
Not today but I will replace the people you have accidentally omitted and if its OK with you delete all the interlopers. Regards, Eddaido (talk) 00:16, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- My understanding, from reading not just the DCB entries but also reprints of some of the relevant commissions, is that the title "Commander-in-Chief, North America" ended with General Gage. If you have evidence to the contrary (i.e. sources), I'd like to see it.
- If you want to split off the other posts into separate articles, feel free to do so; just ensure that the successor and predecessor titles are mentioned. I resisted doing so because I think there is casual confusion (as evidenced by the state of the page before I picked it up) calling the CinC Canadas as the CinC NA when that's not technically so. Magic♪piano 02:10, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- I think the central point is that you were working from Canadian records about Canada when you should have been working from British records about the British Empire and that is how the confusion has arisen. Eddaido (talk) 10:38, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- Umm, the commissions are "British records". (I can't presently find the link where I read them -- I believe they were from Canadian archive reprints on Google Books, but my Google-fu is failing me.) What other "British records" are you proposing need to be consulted? Magic♪piano 15:35, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I expect the commissions are British records but they will be those relating just to Canada in the same way as perhaps records in the Philippines when USA ran the Philippines may differ from those of the USA about the Philippines over the same period (with the Philippines I'm onto a subject I know nothing about). I'm not suggesting your reporting in the article is of itself wrong. I am suggesting (erm . . . , telling you) it does not match with the topic of the article because your reporting is limited to Canada. Should I expand further on this? The website supplied as a reference for the article before your amendments no longer seems to be able to give any information. I plan to show you the correct answers as soon as I can. In the meantime it is easy to find enough to show you are wrong (in the way I have described) but for both you and me as well as WP I'd like to find complete and conclusive evidence. Can you not see that a Canadian source is not a British source? Eddaido (talk) 19:19, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- It's certainly true that British sources (like say the Army Lists) are not Canadian. Given that I spent not much more than 3 days on expanding the article, it's hardly surprising there might be holes in my research. Feel free to add properly sourced content -- it's not like the article is (or ever really was) a big priority to me. Magic♪piano 20:56, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- Three days, Ouch. So far as I know your information is perfect, it just doesn't exactly fit with the article's title. OK I will try to get a righter answer with apt references and will draw your attention to the matter when I'm done. Thanks, Eddaido (talk) 21:06, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
IP edit warrior
IPs of edit-warring editor forcing commanders in infobox:
Possibly him:
Do you know of any others? I see it going back to November now -- does it go back further?
If he doesn't engage in discussions then we may have his IPs blocked. I'm beginning to think this is a long time sock but not sure who. Any ideas?
I just left him a note here and he is currently editing.

- November sounds about right for when this started. I don't think I've encountered someone like this before -- he may have moved his activities from a different subject area... Magic♪piano 18:55, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Simele Massacre revisited
Hi there, as promised the article went a major editing the last few months, and I think it does meet the GA criteria now. Could you take a look at it before I re-nominate it once more. Do you have any recommendations for a future FA nomination? Thanks.--Rafy talk 14:28, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- If you are too busy to review the article I will go ahead and nominate it again. I thought it would be more fitting if someone with previous knowledge, like yourself, re-evaluates it again. Regards.--Rafy talk 12:01, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello,
I've reviewed another very nice nomination of yours and left one question at Talk:Battle of Cobleskill/GA1
Best wishes, MathewTownsend (talk) 22:34, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your edits to this article - are you able to add some references? At present, there are only two references for the entire article. Cheers. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 17:38, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- Sources and some citations will be coming in due course. Magic♪piano 17:52, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
