re various matters
==Page names==
I ''think'' it's probably proper (so to speak) to have the page titles be the full regiment name, which I assume then is 2nd Regiment of Foot (and maybe something in brackets where it is appropriate). If in the ''first'' sentence/paragraph of the article it states 'May be referred to as '''2nd Foot''' or the '''Queen's Own'''' (or whatever is correct in this instance) then I think that should still work fine for google searches. You've already been doing that for some of the native regiments. I think it only need be done for the most common names or shorthands because all those other name changes come up in the chronologies. I don't think there can be a perfect solution to this as regiment names are a bit of a minefield, but that is my suggestion. What do you think? An alternative/additional solution would be redirects for those other common names. [[User:Sarahb|Sarahb]] 11:57, 25 March 2009 (PDT)

*'''[[19th Regiment of Foot]]'''
Sorry, didn't have time to reply yesterday but did fix the issue you mentioned - I just made the first sentence not a heading but bold instead. I'm sure you knew how to do that already but just couldn't see the wood for the trees for a minute. I think making the Cathy Day website article into a subarticle was fine, but I am just checking with Valmay about this in case there is a solution she would prefer. I think your chronology should probably go above the old article though, just to keep it is the same place on all articles.
*'''[[Skinner's Horse]]'''
Did you have a think about rewriting the copyright section? I can do it if you like as I don't think we should leave it up there too long in its present state.
*'''Church article'''
Thats got good information. Obviously we can't copy the text, but can include the info somewhere. For now I just made the [[Thalassery]] location article and put the link in there. Can be linked up with churches category somehow later, but for now its there for anyone looking up Thalassery.
