Hi NealeFamily.
Sorry, I cannot provide a reference for the 'Snake' use on Tiger Force aircraft, I added it from memory as it was stated in an article in an old copy of Aeroplane Monthly from around 1975. The article showed various photos of FEAF Liberators in, IIRC, India, all with the word 'Snake' roughly painted on the fuselage. At the time it was planned to build up what was to become Tiger Force and so aircraft intended for the Force were marked 'Snake' to prevent them being appropriated by other units during their journey out to the Far East.
- OK, best of luck. IASTR the name 'Chakri' or 'Chakiri' in connection to the article, perhaps the name of the airfield, but I may be wrong. I think the article was about a post-war aircraft graveyard where aircraft, mainly SEAC Liberators, were stored before being scrapped.
- The brand-new bomber aircraft intended for SEAC were flown out from the UK via the Middle East and the 'Snake' marking was to prevent senior RAF commanders along the way, who's own aircraft were well used and worn, from commandeering the aircraft for their own Command's use and so slowing the build up of Tiger Force.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.53.138 (talk) 09:56, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Local assembly
Hi NealeFamily, greetings, you seem to have been quiet lately. I hope that this is somehow a Good Sign and no slacking of interest. Writing because I keep wondering why NZ had a Commons:Category:Automobile manufacturers of New Zealand when I would have thought there'd be or have been very few. Most of the vehicles were only assembled weren't they? Writing because I suspect this very subject has been discussed and I just have not been paying attention at the right time.

Occupation articles
I saw your comment on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#World War 2 - template for article on occupation of particular countries. I don't think any "template" would be helpful, especially given the differences in focus between European and Asian history-writing. However, I have written two occupation GAs (German occupation of Belgium during World War I is the better of the two) in which you might find something interesting. I think it is really important to include a section on "administration" as context and probably one on economic aspects. Looking at Japanese occupation of Malaya, I'd make a few suggestions:
- There certainly needs to be more on colonial-era Malaya as background;
- The "preparation" section is really too detailed for an occupation article and should be merged into one of the surrounding sections;
- There is probably too much of a military focus in the rest of the article at the expense of the political/social history;
- There needs to be more on collaboration and Malay nationalism.
Only suggestions, of course. I'm happy to help if I can. —Brigade Piron (talk) 09:55, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "NealeFamily", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it may imply the account is being used by more than one person, ie, a family.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Longhair\talk 23:37, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
- Happy to change the name if you like, but I have already explained this a number of years ago (2015) - single user only NealeFamily (talk) 23:44, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. I took a look back in your talk page archives and did in fact find where this has been discussed before here. I do believe you will be facing this question again from another editor sooner or later while your username refers to being a "family". The relevant section of the username policy is at Wikipedia:Username_policy#Usernames_implying_shared_use. I believe you are an individual editor but to avoid any issues and repeat questioning perhaps a username change is the appropriate course of action here? -- Longhair\talk 00:08, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Nixinova T C 01:02, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi NealeWellington! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Mel Young 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.

The deleted "article" basically said, "They exist. They're in NZ. They were founded by these three people. They make these three shows. Here's a link to their website." It was deleted because there were no sources, no references, and no assertion of any kind of notability on a global scale. There is nothing to salvage. --Orange Mike | Talk 03:22, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Just for reference, since you argued for "merge and delete" there: That can't actually be done. If material is merged from one article into another, the prior history must remain available to satisfy the "BY" requirement of the CC-BY-SA license. So, it is possible to merge and redirect, since that leaves history intact, but we can't merge and delete. Seraphimblade Talk to me 01:43, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- That's a pity as it would be useful at times to transfer information in a deleted article into another - I suppose redirect would overcome that issue as you suggest, but wonder if we would not end up with a clutter of fairly meaningless redirects. Thanks for letting me know NealeWellington (talk) 04:06, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.
Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.
