Hi Ricky, welcome to Wikipedia. Please provide a brief edit summary when you edit articles - especially when (e.g. recent edit to RAOC article) you remove a lot of text.

A couple of the articles you've written may be of questionable notability so to give your contributions a good chance to last I'd recommend ensuring there are sufficient 3rd-party references. Another thing to think about is what categories to put the new articles in. DexDor (talk) 18:59, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to join MILHIST

[edit]

Welcome to MILHIST

my error

[edit]

I apologize for my series of very confusing errors this morning with your article Controllers/Directors/Directors General Ordnance Services 1942-1983) When I realized that I had idiotically missed seeing the main page, I was forced by a technical limitation that even as an admin I could not over-ride to move it to its current name General Ordnance Services heads 1942-1983. I think I fixed the redirects. My apologies. Please don't think of this as a bad omen. I, and the other people here too, are not usually so foolish. DGG ( talk ) 17:09, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

no problems

[edit]

Thanks for getting in touch and absoloutely no need to apologise. In due course might change title a little when I have constructed the complete list from 1892-1993. I am a neophyte at all this and left the article unfinished because I could not get the tabulation right. Your layout most helpful.
