A-Class Medal Question

Hello. Last month you awarded me an A-class medal for promoting three articles: 7th Infantry Division (United States), 24th Infantry Division (United States) and 45th Infantry Division (United States). However, the ACR for the 45th Infantry Division was reopened shortly afterwards and has recently been closed with no consensus, effectively undoing the third successful ACR. However, I recently promoted a fourth article, I Corps (United States). Just wanted to know if my A-class medal should be ammended to say that it is for the 7th, 24th, and I Corps, instead of the 45th. It's also messed up my Eligibility tracking because now I have 4 A-class articles to my name when I really only have three. Sorry to make such an annoying situation! —Ed!^(talk) 13:19, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Given your holiday I butted in and amended everything. Also see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history/Coordinators#A-Class_Medal_Problem. Should all be sorted now, sorry for the kerfuffle Ed!, it was not your fault. Hope Provence is still sunny! Regards, Woody (talk) 21:40, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for sorting it out, Woody! I'm glad it's fixed. Yes, Provence was indeed sunny and lovely though I got home yesterday to find we'd been the victims of an attempted break-in. What with a 1000-mile drive, an internet breakdown, and a complete electricity blackout for three hours last night, it's been an interesting weekend :)  Roger Davies ^talk 04:50, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Nation of Ownership

In some of the articles it is not made clear to which nation the subject belongs. I would expect that to be indicated in the title. This point applies to pages in other topics, too. John C Kay (talk) 20:34, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Seems rather daft to tag this, Roger. I tried to add some kind of 'free' copyright license tag, but frankly after five minutes searching through them, I'm not even sure which area of copyright tags is the correct once, let alone the correct tag. Skinny87 (talk) 08:40, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Skinny. It does seem daft, don't it. I'll ask Drilnoth for advice.  Roger Davies ^talk 04:52, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

I've added {{PD-self}} but Iridescent seems to agree with you :)  Roger Davies ^talk 05:23, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
