RE:Battle of the Hook

edit

Hey George the source i have says that the battle took place in late July just before the armistice. It is defiantly a different battle but a later one, I wonder how many times this location was the site of a battle. This battle does deserve its own article probable as the Fourth battle of the Hook.

I would create 4 separate articles with the first three named as (First, Second and Third) Battle of the Hook. Although the battle honours are Samichon the article calls it the battle of the hook. I do believe the army calls it the Battle of Samichon though so it should be named that. Hossen27 05:02, 24 January 2007 (UTC)Reply



Hi Hossen.
Different armies labelled it differently. there had been several confrontations on that strongpoint, that's why the British Army used the term 3rd Battle of the Hook. I'm vaguely aware that the Australians might use the Samichong label, as is their right.
The British Army relieved a USMC division in the Spring of '53, and they in turn were relieved by others, possibly an Australian contingent.
My own advice, for what it's worth, is to leave well alone. The soldiers who defended the Hook position in May '53 know it as the 3rd Battle of the Hook, and that's how it's recorded on their Battle Honours. See the Wiki page for the 1DWR battle honours here:

I'd regard a move to change names around as disrespectful to those soldiers of all the armies that contributed, as I'm certain they would.

I notice you left a note on this user's talk page. I just wanted to let you know he is on a Wikibreak seemingly due to health issues, so you may not hear back from him for some time, if at all. - Ahunt (talk) 14:29, 8 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Yeah I heard about this but we can't predict what will happen, the Brunei arbitration took 3 years. BAE Systems won that one, but I think I read that Trinidad & Tobago are going to claim breach of contract. I would say they have a strong case but then it would depend on the wording of the contract.. and I'm no lawyer! :) Mark83 (talk) 19:31, 14 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

MS Queen Elizabeth

edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on MS Queen Elizabeth. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Apologies for not replying earlier, only just noticed your post on my talk page. As explained above, 3RR is not a right. That said, it appears that the warning to both editors had the desired effect, and the warring stopped. Therefore there isn't any need to take any further action.

Hi, I'll enter the attribution as requested, but the link you have for Brian Burnell's site is broken in several waysL

1. it has a space in it

2. the domain nuclear-weapons.info returns 'this page has just been registered' (that may simply mean that you or Brian haven't put anything there)

Hi Peter. Just checked Brian's site at http://nuclear-weapons.info/index.htm and it worked for me. Perhaps the link itself was corrupted or misspelt. George.Hutchinson (talk) 00:45, 28 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
