Thanks! :-) I'm not sure, though. I just did lots of editing, but there might be a quicker way to do it — unfortunately, I'm not much of an expert on wiki syntax, and tend just to work things out as I go along (I found out what to do at Meta:Help:Sorting). Sorry about that. Proteus (Talk) 13:16, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ash Power

I saw the under-construction, but they are not always genuine, and since the article was largely copyright, I ploughed on, sorry. There's nothing to stop you recreating, but why not write in a WP program first - easier, and less chance of problems - you can always tidy up the formatting with Wiki Ed when you paste in jimfbleak (talk) 16:22, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey mate, thanks for the invite, I'll see what I can do. As for my user page, that wording has bugged me since I created the page, I just have been to slack to go and fix it up, but I will do now. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 01:55, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

There we go mate, I've completed some work on Power's page, and I was able to find a bio but unfortunately it was a little outdate; it was on Power as a Brigadier and commander of the 1st Brigade. It did, naturally, come in handy though. The page is now just waiting for your approval and additional touches. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 03:03, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

The eight medals include:

• Member of the Order of Australia
• Conspicuous Service Cross
• Australian Active Service Medal (with 3 clasps, all are obscured, but I'm guessing they would be INTERFET, IRAQ 2003 & ICAT)
• INTERFET medal
• Australian Service Medal (1 clasp, I assume for Bougainville)
• Defence Force Service Medal (3 clasps)
• Australian Defence Medal
• Legion of Merit (United States)

The Afghanistan and Iraq Medals are not included, but I presume he would be entitled to them, but at the stage this photo was taken he had yet to receive them. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 05:57, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Australian military history articles

Hi Pdfpdf, you might be interested in adding new articles you create on senior figures in the ADF to the listing at Portal:Military of Australia/New articles relating to the Military of Australia‎. I scan the new articles list most days, but some slip through - like Richard Gary Wilson which I only spotted today! regards, Nick Dowling (talk) 09:58, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ADC

ADC usually refers to the person being an aide-de-camp to a vice-regal position - but I have only ever seen it used in situations where the person is acting in the ADC capacity. I also thought that you lost the post-nominal when you left the job.... and as CN I am pretty sure he wouldn't be a lowly ADC (except to the Queen perhaps????). Just guessing though...
