Cheddar Gorge update

Thanks for your edit to Cheddar Gorge requesting an update, however it would be useful to let other editors know what information needs updating, perhaps with links to sources - maybe on the talk page, or even better edit the article yourself to reflect the new information. I would do it but I'm unsure what you are referring to which makes some of these tags less than helpful.— Rod ^talk 14:54, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Sorry Rodw (talk · contribs), this was a very quick update in a chance passing and it has been added to my 'to-do' list. I was really thinking of the information regarding the chairlift/cable-car etc. Either it has, is or is-not happening and this can be updated to reflect that. It currently just reads a bit like a chronological description of things (slightly out of date) that is not very encyclopedic in nature. Stingray Trainer (talk) 21:58, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

I was wondering if you had found any time to look at this again? I'm working on the WikiProject Somerset cleanup list and this is still showing as update needed. The most recent thing I can find is this article in the local Mercury suggesting the viability is "still being explored".— Rod ^talk 20:05, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Nero/1

Stingray Trainer, since you nominated this article for a community GAR, it is your responsibility, as noted in the instructions, to notify the relevant WikiProjects and major editors in the hopes that someone among them will undertake the updating/editing that is needed. Thank you very much for doing this. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:17, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

60mm mortar for British Army?

Hello, I thought the 60mm mortar is still in limited use by the Parachute Regiment/16 Air Assault Brigade?

BlueD954 (talk) 06:06, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

blueD954 I had not heard that, but it is of course possible. I keep coming up against the problem of what a reliable source says versus the truth. All the sources I have say it has been withdrawn. Technically personal knowledge doesn't met the Wiki requirement for a source (even if the person saying it can touch the damn mortar in their armoury!). If you can track down a reliable source I am more than happy to have it back in. The danger with keeping in limited use weapons/limited role weapons is that you end up with the section like the assault rifles - it implies everyone is cutting around with Colts, or M-16s or MP-5s, when the reality is that 99% of people just use the basic 3-4 weapons.

Ok, maybe I'll see to a public FOIA. BlueD954 (talk) 07:44, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

January 2023

Hi Stingray Trainer! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Ack. Incorrectly used. Stingray Trainer (talk) 23:00, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
