I was wondering if you or you know anybody who'd be interested in such a project. One of my chief loves is British country houses and I don't at present see a project set up to help coordinate it and to collaborate over. If interested let me know and I'll consider making a proposal.♦ Dr. Blofeld13:00, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

I have recently noted several occasions of you changing World War II mentions to Second World War. You may not be aware but about eighteen months ago a bot galloped through dozens of our RAF articles changing them to World War II; I got extremely frustrated and angry about it but eventually tracked down a lengthy discussion somewhere in wikipedia where it had been decided (mostly by a US based cadre and opposed mostly by Brits) that wikipedia would be standardised to the horrible World War II. Most articles have remained like that ever since, until your recent efforts.
I have no idea if the concensus 'policy' has changed but I only mention it because there may be a possibility that the bot will revisit your reversions. I am with you on this, I much prefer Second World War which is far more elegant. 21st CENTURY GREENSTUFF20:34, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

55,573 aircrew from Britain and across the Commonwealth of Nations -
Many pilots were Polish [1] and Polish veterans participated in the ceremony [2]. My English is poor so I would prefer that native speakers edit the article. Xx236 (talk) 09:41, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

history in military and mansions
Thank you for quality articles on military history, such as RAF Northolt, for interesting facts on English manor houses, such as Churchill's honeymoon house Highgrove House, and for regular GA reviews, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members).
So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with (at the time this message was sent out, 2 recruiters have volunteered), the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available".
Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497).
Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along.
A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk)
