I've just protected the article for three days to stop the edit war which is currently underway. I'd strongly suggest that you attempt to resolve this issue - either here or elsewhere - through discussion rather than reverting one another. Nick-D (talk) 11:37, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi - sorry but is this legit? Or vandalism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.167.244.130 (talk) 19:42, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
The "El Kantara" link goes to the city in Algeria. Isn't it supposed to be Al Qantarah El Sharqiyya in Egypt? I don't know much about this aspect of the war or anything about Tom Derrick, but it would seem to make more geographical sense to me. 68.1.172.2 (talk) 02:12, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
I found that Tom Derrick featured on the one of the 1995 Australia Remembers Stamps. I have found using google images searching:'1995 Australia Remembers 45c stamps'. A block of stamps which clearly shows Tom and his name printed on the stamp. Can this block of stamps or a cropped version be added to his wikipedia page?

@Peacemaker67 and Ian Rose: given you haven't discussed on the talk page... if his nickname is commonly used (ie more so than his given name, a la Whitey Bulger or Bunny Berigan) then move the article accordingly, to Diver Derrick or Diver Tom Derrick or whatever the hell it is. If it is not then, like every other person in the world with a nickname, it should not be in the opening name in the lede. GiantSnowman 13:25, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
