Spain Monarchy

edit

Thank you for the wonderfull edit of the Spanish Monarchy article it is a 100% improvment over the old one!!--Marked4life (talk) 05:14, 22 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! It still needs more work. I also want to add a section called "The Monarchy and the Media", and also flesh out the "Royal Family" more. I've decided to work on this page after waiting a year myself for improvements and guidence from the Spanish contributors before wanting my own questions answered. I'm basicially writting the page as my own questions on the Spanish monarchy and how it operates are generated. Though most recently I have had to take some time off as I am currently working 80 hours a week, mind is mush at the moment. hehe. I think it facinating that there is a vibrant and well respected royal family which owes its popularity to liberal democratic principles! It is interesting contrasting the Spanish monarchy and how it operates with the English or other monarchies.
Thanks for your encouragemement! Feel free to add as you wish as well!♦Drachenfyre♦·Talk 17:22, 22 August 2009 (UTC)Reply


"I planing to flesh out this section as I dig more info from my files."

Sounds great! Be sure to continue to use in text citations too, especially anything contraversal. Additionally, we have to steer clear of origional research statements or assertions, unless it is provided for in a very respected publication somewhere. Even the most benign and self-evident statement I have seen challenged to the point of the statement being removed as "origional research". Its something to be aware of at least. I look forward to seeing your contrabutions! ♦Drachenfyre♦·Talk 06:07, 27 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Commander-in-chief of the British Armed Forces

edit

Hi - You have cited various senior appointments made by the Queen as Commander-in-Chief to "The Queens Regulations for the Army". I have checked and the Army Regulations do not mention the First Sea Lord, or the Commander Operations (Navy) or the Fleet Commander or the Chief of the Air Staff. In fact the Army Regulations do not even mention some of the Army Commanders: please can you remove this section as it seems to me to be very misleading. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 21:57, 18 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

The regulations for the army state that all appointments held by officers of the rank of two stars or above must be approved by Queen. As such there is no need to remove the section on appointments because it is accurate. The section makes clear that the Her Majesty’s secretary of state for defense nominates a candidate to the queen for her approval of the appointment. Therefore, the section reflects the fact as stated by the regulations for the army and is not misleading. Thank you for your comments. Best wishes.--Marked4life (talk) 23:03, 21 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Firstly I do not agree with your implication that Army Regulations must automatically be replicated by regulations for the Royal Navy and the RAF: this may or may not be true but it is synthesis (see WP:SYNTH). Secondly, while I agree that all appointments held by officers of the rank of two stars or above must be approved by Queen, this would be a very long list of officers and not just the selected few roles that you have listed. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 00:21, 22 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

All appointments listed in the queen and military appointment section are regularly announced on the Ministry of Defense website as being made by the approval of the queen. This includes the appointments too those "two-star an above" posts in the Navy and the Air Force. Therefore, the information on appointments in this section is factual. It is in no way "misleading", as such there is no reason to remove the section in question as it is both relitive to the subject of the artical and informitive.

No they are not. BlueD954 (talk) 01:47, 9 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

The list is, of course, not exhaustive. I will expand it, as time permits. You are yourself welcome to list additional officer posts at your leisure. Best wishes.--Marked4life (talk) 23:18, 22 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

The Army alone has nearly 90 officers of the rank of two stars or above. You have been highly selective in which ones you have chosen and the list is unsourced. Your list implies that the 11 officers listed are the only ones appointed by the Queen. The sensible position would be to revert to the previous drafting which simply stated that officers of the rank of two stars or above are appointed by the Queen and then add a citation. Best wishes.

Your plea for help elsewhere

edit

I answered you on another editor's page. I dug deeper and found Talk:Head of the British Armed Forces#Senior appointments made by Her Majesty as Commander-in-Chief which seems to have triggered the entire thing. I have no ability to make any judgement on this matter at all, and offer no opinion on it, save for the advcie I gave on the other editor's page. I'm having a senior moment and have forgotten where that was.

Please relax about it. The admin I spoke of may not be online right now, may even be asleep. Fiddle Faddle 21:30, 24 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

I am not sure what has happened here myself: I can see you have been editing for many years and are a valued wikipedia editor and can assure you that your reputation is not affected in any way from my perspective. I wish you many years of continued happy editing. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 11:19, 25 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your kind words. They are much appreciated.--Marked4life (talk) 19:49, 25 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
And if you haven't realised, appointments appear on the London Gazette every Tuesday morning, 99% the army Maj-Gen appointments are named.
