Images[edit]

ComRsch, NORAD/SAC, MilSpec ... here I am evidently incompetent.
Years on WikiPedia; decades on WWW ... which count for nothing. I went Army to interdict Soviets. For years I've felt the need to interdict yuppies ... along with cracKKKers, who are noisier but easier to deal with.

Here's my point: I had 2 images that I think are slight improvements on those that are already on the page. But I got slammed by a totally yuppie / ridiculously legalistic release for the images. (Why I live to support officers? cuz they're really good at some things that are important. Why I rejected commission / sing the praises of Snr NCO? cuz heh ... that's where sanity is!)

Regimental march[edit]

What is the source for "The Hundred Pipers" being a regimental march? The DHH lineage document shows only "Bonnie Dundee". Indefatigable (talk) 16:55, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The following is all #lateral:
The best recording of the traditional version we'd recognize I found: http://bentrem.net/75thr/music/BonnieDundee.mp3
Here? This one is older, "old timie" style and with lyrics!: http://bentrem.net/75thr/music/BonnieDundee-JBStuart_Traditional.mp3

May I? an anecdote? Remembrance Day (Must have been 1971 cuz I was Cornwallis 1972.)
Now fact is I'm born/bred N'n Alberta. So "cold"? We'd ice-fish at -20. (Which is not to diminish our heroes of wars past, I, II, Korea and etc.) But that November day?! When "Order Arms" came heh most of us could not straighten elbows! BUT: as we marched towards the reviewing stand, E along Jasper Ave ... God bless the man, our piper must have sprinted ahead of us through back alleys. As we approach ... Och Aye! Fear no Foe! There it was! (Oh my, I just teared up. Such good memories.)

Loyal Edmonton Regiment (4th Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry) → Loyal Edmonton Regiment – At WP:CFDS, User:Armbrust suggested to rename Category:The Loyal Edmonton Regiment in order to align the category name with the much longer article name. While that is normally standard procedure, we may instead shorten the article name in order to align it with the category name. Afaics there is no ambiguity in using just "Loyal Edmonton Regiment".

Support Makes sense. Regards, Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 15:41, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The article covers not only its 1970-present incarnation as 4 Bn, but also the history of the regiment dating back to 1908. 162 etc. (talk) 18:16, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support The intention had been to address the category title as per Talk:Fort_Garry_Horse#Requested_move_9_October_2022 and WP:THE but this is also a very reasonable approach.--Labattblueboy (talk) 18:50, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The current article title is a lot longer and more complex than is actually necessary — the basic rule is to always give pages the simplest title that they can be given without colliding with other topics located at their simplest possible titles, not that we always have to jump to the most technically officialese form — and it would be unnecessarily prolix as the category name as well.
