[edit] Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
  • Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
  • Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific nations or periods.
  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 03:35, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] JV 44

Hello, if you don't mind would you have a look at the JV 44 article and give me some improvement comments? I drew the squadron symbol myself by looking at old phtographs. I also have a list of known members, etc. in EXCEL. If you could give me a tip on where to put it within the article and how to structure the table I would get to work on it. The 61 names I have come from a book about JV 44, and the columns in the table would include name, rank, decorations (e.g. Knight's Cross), role within JV44, last known previous unit, victories and total sorties flown. Maybe a column for comments too. I worry the table is too big so any advice on formatting, etc. would be greatly appreciated. I want to get it looking good before seeking a peer review. Thanks. Mfields1 22:24, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Sure thing - I'll make a post on the JV 44 talk page. Abel29a 17:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yak-15?

I've seen diagrams of a (F-W?) project with chin-mounted jets that resembles the Yak-15/17/23. Do you know if the Soviets captured project data? And what manufacturer/project number it was? TrekphilerFlag of Canada17:10, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 15:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Upload of images

Hi,

I've seen you have uploaded quite a lot of photos from uboat.net. I'm working a lot with the same subject (u-boat, commanders etc.) but isn't sure how to use uboat.net's pictures as fair use and put them on Commons and simply follow the proper way. Could you give me a short introduction to what you do? Thanks in advance! Keallu 01:04, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding the Rommel article

You have taken it upon yourself to introduce what you consider to be grammatical and stylistic improvements (there benefit has eluded my grasp), as well as to completely rewrite the whole part concerning operation "Crusader". The result of your industry strike me as a much glossier and sanitised version of Rommel's actions, ommiting all reference to his disputes with, and abuse of subordinate commanders who disagreed with his rash and overambitious decisions and were invariably proven correct, and a strange and even more prettifying misrepresentation of British decision making during Crusader. You even went so far as to claim that it was concern to relieve the overburdened Italian, rather than arrogance, that led Rommel to attempt to develop the counterattack against the British in Crusader into an all out effort to roll them from their forifications along the Libyan-Egyption border. Where did that come from? There was no pressure against the Italians at that point or against the Germans either, for that matter, since the British were in full headlong retreat. We have crossed pathes before, I am Soz from the Manstein article, and while I did not treasure your input there, I could at least recognise that you had an arguable position, but your editing here is quite frankly horrifying. Tragically I cannot simply revert to a previous version not elevated by your relentless improving since contributions to entirely unrelated sections had since been inserted and it would be unfair of me to undo them in an effort to dispose of your, well, not to mince words, mischief. At some point I shall have to correct the distortion and rewrite the section, bringing it closer to its original form, whereupon I beg you most humbly not to engage in any kind of improvement. Soz

Oh hi again Soz :) Another German general you despise.... The information about Crusader came form the Crusader article here on Wikipedia. Rewriting the article to get it more neutral and remove all that bad language and unsourced accustaions is not mischief. That being said I shall go over the edits I made and reinstate if I left something vital out. The grammatical and stylistic improvements were very much needed as the text was ranting on for ever and had very much bad language. Abel29a 16:36, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
