[edit] Have a great trip!

I had a question and figured I'd pop in, but I see that you're away, so I'll just {{helpme}} instead. Where are you traveling? Hope you have a great time wherever it is! PaladinWhite 18:12, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Task force banners

I'm just wondering something.

Should the Military History task forces [such as WWII and WWI] have their own banners. if you go to wikiproject Canada, each of their task forces has their own banner. You can check on my user page if you need further info. Would it be possible for the military history task forces [those that aren't also part of a nation wikiproject, such as periods of conflict] to have their own banners?

[edit] Richard O'Connor

Can you pls double-check the assessments at Talk:Richard O'Connor? {{ArticleHistory}} was done manually rather than waiting for GimmeBot; the bot routinely assigns B class to demoted FAs. I've changed them; pls feel free to re-do if incorrect. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:02, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, just wanted to double-check since it was a non-standard closing; will you change it back, or should I? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:26, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
OK, thanks again; sorry for causing you extra work :-) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:32, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Coordinator work

The centralized bookkeeeping-type tasks tend not to be very time-intensive, overall; I don't mind letting someone else do them if someone wants to, but they're not necessarily something I'm being buried under, for the most part.

What would be extremely helpful—although, admittedly, probably a lot of work for anyone who wants to take this on, so I'm hesitant to try and foist it off on anyone—is if someone could start up a system of going through the member list and notifying (selected) members with an interest in the topic when new peer review, A-Class review, and FAC requests show up. Right now, one of the major weak points in our review structure is that we generally have trouble with getting enough people to participate when we need them (which causes all of these "X review needs attention" messages I'm always leaving around); I suspect that a more personalized system of notifications would be more effective in getting multiple reviewers quickly.

Quite honestly, I'm not entirely sure how much effort it would take to do something like this. Assuming that we average almost one request per day, and that we want to ask at least a dozen people to participate... how much time would that consume? Probably too much for a single person to be doing it all; but if we could set up some way for coordinators to take turns doing this for individual requests, it may be something we could try. Your thoughts would be very appreciated; is this something that might be feasible, or am I getting too grandiose with my plans here? Kirill Lokshin 00:57, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Or a subpage of the coordinator page, perhaps (e.g. Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators/Toolbox/Member interests)? But that does seem like an excellent way of making this easier. Kirill Lokshin 01:10, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Yep, we could create a subst:able boilerplate like the ones used for the project-space notifications; that shouldn't be a problem. Please feel free to start compiling this if you have the time and inclination; you should probably also drop a note on the coordinator talk page so that everyone else can pitch in. I think we'll probably need breakdowns of editors interested in topic areas, countries, and (large) conflicts? Kirill Lokshin 01:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Great. Thanks a lot! Kirill Lokshin 01:40, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Just thinking a bit: is it going to be enough to list just the names, or do we want to copy the (relevant bits of) their statement of interest as well? Some people might have fairly specific interests within a broader area, and we probably don't want to be sending them requests that are related only by having a country in common. Or am I overanalyzing this? Kirill Lokshin 04:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Italics v. Quotations for a Short Story

What's the deal with italics v. quotation marks, concerning short stories? I'm looking through a series of them, and most are italicized, but some are quotation-marked - is there a coherent guideline for this somewhere on Wikipedia? I've checked Wikipedia:Manual of Style and more specifically Wikipedia:Manual of Style (titles), and I can't find anything.

Thanks! PaladinWhite 04:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
