Untitled[edit]

I'm intending on migrating some of the 148 Battery material across, with regard to training.

If anyone has corresponding material on the REME workshop that would be useful.ALR 14:23, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions for improvement[edit]

I have just completed the B class checklist and believe that the article could be improved by addressing the following issues:

referencing: in line citations - at least one per paragraph for B class;
coverage: a history section could be included, current operations, COs, etc;
supporting materials: images and or an infobox.

Just some ideas. Hope this helps. AustralianRupert (talk) 01:48, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 30 December 2022[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. UtherSRG (talk) 19:39, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

29th Commando Regiment Royal Artillery → 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery – The title "29th" is not used - see the Royal Navy website here: [[1]]. "29 Commando" is the most commonly used name. I believe this is uncontroversial - we just have the redirect and the page the wrong way round. The naming of regiments etc between the Nth and the N is reasonably random, so there are no wider implications for other articles. Please see also the following: Google ngram [[2]] and compare google searches for the two potential titles: "29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery" 33k results; "29th Commando Regiment Royal Artillery" gets under 2k results.

Ah, perhaps I wasn't clear. I was suggesting making an RM for moving all of them at once. If you need help, I can assist in setting that up later tonight. UtherSRG (talk) 01:17, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just a comms fail - it happens! I'm not aware of problems with any other regiments' entries. Springnuts (talk) 13:08, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at Category:Royal_Artillery_regiments. The majority of the numbered articles use the ordinal form, vice the cardinal form. Like I said, I think you are right in making the move, but this moves away from WP:CONSISTENT, so the right thing to do is more than just moving this article. UtherSRG (talk) 14:15, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Regts are not consistent: most do use ordinal form, but we should not impose it on the minority who don’t 😀 Springnuts (talk) 23:16, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be sure, please check them. It will be easier to move a group all at once, than to have to go through this each time. UtherSRG (talk) 23:37, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not the best person to do this. Do we have Wikipedia Project Artillery or something? I suspect someone somewhere already knows! In the meantime might we not simply correct this one? Springnuts (talk) 20:38, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
