Let's take a trip back to Spring 2005
Hi, so I was looking at the redirects to Mediterranean and Middle East theatre of World War II and found that Middle East Theatre of World War II existed. I had a look at it and noticed that a little earlier this month an IP user attempted to redirect it [1] to the former article because it was "an unsourced duplicate". I completed the redirect today by blanking the content, then noticed that you were present during the creation of both just about 18 years ago. Was creating the redirect the right move, or no? This is not a topic that I normally edit. Cheers, Dawnseeker2000 23:43, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
How about finishing article Anthing?
I put a useful source on the page Carl Heinrich Wilhelm Anthing which you started, but apparently abandoned. It is a reputable biography. It is in Dutch but you can easily translate that into English using Google Chrome. Highlight a section. Then right-click somewhere near that section and a dropdown menu with the option to translate to English will appear. Click that option and hey presto the page is suddenly legible. Hope this is useful. Cheers, Ereunetes (talk) 00:47, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Proposal to change article title "Brigade van Bylandt" to "Bylandt's brigade"
I have put a proposal to change the name of Brigade van Bylandt to "Bylandt's brigade" on the talk-page of that article. As you have contributed to that article in a significant way you may be interested. I'll make the move if you have not objected in a week's time. Ereunetes (talk) 22:43, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
