Hi Beverly. I was going to add some links to [[Simla]] but when I look at the page in detail, I see that you have deleted every addition I have mage to this page since 1 April 2010. Could you please advise what is objectional about all the additions you have deleted.[[User:Maureene|Maureene]] 06:38, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Your edits of 8 February 2015. It appears as though you think the online ''Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps'' is the same as the ''British Medical Journal '', as you have moved the former from section 1.3.2. and amalgamated them with the latter, section 3 all under the heading ''British Medical Journal ''. They are in fact distinct Journals. [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] ([[User talk:Maureene|talk]])
==Naini Tal==
Your edit of 6 February. You made a deletion due to "duplication". I can't see any other link which is similar. Could you please advise. Thanks [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] ([[User talk:Maureene|talk]])
Thanks for advising. I had looked at the link you quoted, but no image appeared at the time, which confused me- slow download problems I suppose. [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] ([[User talk:Maureene|talk]]) 9 February 2015, my estimate of your time 8.15 am
==Life in India==
Hi Beverly. Regarding your last three edits, for [[Life in India]].
Firstly the reason given is (remove links breaking guidelines .) I assume this refers to the guidelines wording: Links '''normally''' to be avoided: One should '''generally''' avoid providing external links to:…
<br>11. Blogs, personal web pages and most fan sites, except those written by a recognized authority such as the British Library, The National Archives etc.
I have emphasized the words normally, and generally.
The two links deleted in terms of this edit were personal reminiscences by John Alton Price of his childhood and early adulthood in India. The second of these accounts was referred to in an academic paper, which indicates it was considered to have relevant information. These pages have now been archived as the originating website is no longer in existence, and the URL is for the archive.org link. I ask that you reconsider allowing these, firstly in view of the fact that personal reminiscences are an important means of appreciating what life was like for our ancestors, and secondly as the pages are now archived, it could be argued that they are not personal web pages anymore.
I also advise that I proved two corrections to links which you have now cancelled and reverted back to links which do not work.
I also ask that the 1913 photograph you deleted from the Dagshai page be reinstated, in view of the historical value, including the view of the cantonment Barracks in the background. [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] ([[User talk:Maureene|talk]])
===Additional comment===
I have noted your advice on my user page.
<br>I advised above that I provided (typo, proved) two corrections to links which you cancelled and reverted back to links which do not work. Is it your intention to alter these back to the correct links which I provided? [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] ([[User talk:Maureene|talk]])
==Two pages: Mesopotamia Campaign and North West Frontier Campaigns==
Beverly re page Mesopotamia Campaign.
All the references which you deleted were to publications held by the India Office Military Department Library, which contain lists of names in respect of rewards, promotions etc . I thought it was helpful to list these publications/records to point out possible sources a person could research further, as it seemed to me that it may not be known that the Military Department Library contains publications which contain such information.
You also deleted today from the page Mesopotamia Campaign, two links reason given “remove broken archived links”. The link for JSCSC Library Bibliography First World War Series: Mesopotamian Campaign 1914-1918 is not broken as II can access it. It is a pdf download, which my browser displays quite readily.
Re page North West Frontier Campaigns
What is objectionable about the book available on the Digital Library of India website ''Passing It On: Short Talks on Tribal fighting on the North-West Frontier of India'' which you have deleted? Or the pdf reprint available which you have also deleted ? I agree that the html link quoted does not work, but why must the whole item be deleted?

===Mesopotamia Campaign===

*Perhaps you could add to the Fibiwiki page the search terms you have been using, as a help for the researcher.
*The link in question, was as previously stated, a pdf download. Depending on your browser, it may display in your Downloads. [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] ([[User talk:Maureene|talk]])
==Girgaon==
Beverly, I am completely ignorant about location templates. I have never been asked to add one, so I have never added one, assuming that this was a task for the a moderator. Could you please advise the relevant instruction page so I can read about them. I will certainly add them now that I know one is required [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] ([[User talk:Maureene|talk]]) On reflection, I believe I was initially advised that I did not need to add a template, that this would be done by the moderator in charge of locations.
==British Army==
Beverly, re the external link I recently added.
[http://www.samrainc.org/Pdf/Whats%20In%20a%20Number.pdf "What’s In A Number? The Personal Numbering System of the Australian Army"] by 2151240 Graham Wilson. Scroll to the section titled "Background – The British Experience".
<br>I cannot work out what I am doing incorrectly, as the format is incorrect. Thanks [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] ([[User talk:Maureene|talk]])
*Problem now fixed. Very strange. I deleted and repasted exactly the same URL. I had tried this before, without success, but a further try was successful. [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] ([[User talk:Maureene|talk]])
==Second World War==
Beverly, re URL added under French Indo-China. Initially the problem was the formatting as in British Army, the post above. Then by deleting and repasting this problem resolved. However, when I checked the link, it would not open, even though when I copied the Fibiwiki URL and pasted it in my browser the link did open. Does it open for you? Is there anything that can be done? Thanks [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] ([[User talk:Maureene|talk]])
*Tried this link again just now, and it now opens. [[User:Maureene|Maureene]] ([[User talk:Maureene|talk]])
