List of Badges

Hi @Hillarin:, Thanks for your edit on the List of badges of the South African Army. I have fixed the spelling of Ordnance. It was in the template {{Badge Display/ZAR|EOD}} BoonDock (talk) 06:51, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Blaze Wolf. An edit you recently made to Firing pin seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 22:07, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Blaze Wolf, thank you for your response. I am curious why my edit is incorrect. Thank you. Hillarin (talk) 22:15, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are removing the i from "ordinance" for no reason which is incorrect. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 22:15, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Blaze Wolf Thank you again. Per merriam webster (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ordinance) ordinance (with an "i") is defined as authoritative order or degree. While ordnance (without an "i") is defined as military supplies including weapons, ammunition, combat vehicles, and maintenance tools and equipment (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ordnance). Please let me know if that is sufficient. Thank you. Hillarin (talk) 22:18, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A few years ago (about 7) I went through Wikipedia to make the same changes to others pages. As far as I can tell those changes are still there and as you can see I was thanked for one of the updates by @BoonDock on my talk page in 2015. Please let me know if I am missing something. Thank you again for your help. Hillarin (talk) 22:20, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Hillarin, I see your change is live on that page. Good to see. Hope you're well. BoonDock (talk) 23:45, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
