[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:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
- Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, peer review, and project-wide collaboration.
- We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
- Our requests page has extensive lists of requested articles, images, maps, and translations.
- We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.
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 18:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I know and I'm really sorry, I lost it I guess. It just tics me off to see people who THINK they understand the situation make such idiotic claims. It won't happen again.

I also think my userbox effed up your userpage :( lol. Ps: I friggen love Split. Went there in '05, fell in love with the place, went again in '06 (would go again this yr, but can't due to a lack of funds) :(
pps: can I recommend Vancouver as a destination once you leave hr? Awesome place, good enough to become a featured city on wiki :D (And UBC rocks) Stop The Lies 20:56, 8 February 2007 (UTC)Stop_The_Lies
all that work on your user page, yet so few contributions... tsk tsk... and DAMN STRAIGHT I say "eh" after every sentence! (eh) And proudly! (eh) (in all seriousness, I actually do say it sometimes, but only when I'm bugging people hehe). It's quite ironic that we almost NEVER GET SNOW HERE! I MISS SNOW! lol.
My parents went to LA, said it was one big smog-filled orgy of crappy souvenirs (not literally, but that's what I derived from their descriptions lol). Jay Leno waved to my dad though, which is kinda cool. heh. Stop The Lies 08:16, 13 February 2007 (UTC)Stop_The_Lies
[edit] I am a wiki-nerd :( lol
I'm pretty much always on wiki cuz I take my laptop wherever I go. I'm in class right now actually :) About the barnstar, that's exactly what I thought, that I hope my views aren't unique, or if they are that they don't remain unique. On wikipedia though, they definitely are unique, sadly. I've only seen a few editors who didn't display an outright bias based on their nationality, including myself, you, God of Justice, and a few others.... pretty sad... Why wouldn't I be interested in the Balkans?? It's where I come from! Despite all the bullcrap that goes on down there, I love it. The people are so full of passion, (although it's usually used in the wrong way, but oh well... lol). Canada is so damn BLAND compared to the Balkans, which is good in a way, but not in others... And please DO keep thinking that most of the people here are blissfully ignorant when it comes to that part of the world. Here's an EXAMPLE: Just today in class, I told a guy I was from Yugo, and he asks me "So, you speak Russian then?" HAHHAA OMG WOW HOW BRILLIANTLY IGNORANT OF HIM! Anyway, that's what most people here are like... the majority of people have NO IDEA where Yugo is! But they can still tell you that Serbs are bloodsucking savages because they learned that on trustworthy CNN lol... *sigh.. yay for ignorant American Hollywood culture :D (PS: I like how you termed our war the "World's Stupidest War" because that's exactly what it was lol).

[edit] No you silly boy! :P
I actually don't think Kosovo should stay in Serbia, but only for practical reasons. Yes, given different circumstances (if people weren't suffering so much and if Kosovo wasn't such a financial burden for Serbia) Kosovo should stay in Serbia. However, those circumstances are not present, and despite all the history and culture contained in Kosovo, it simply would benefit both Serbs and Kosovar Albanians if Kosovo became independent (but definitely not if it joined w/ Albania, that should NEVER happen!). If Kosovo split w/ Serbia, the culture and history of Kosovo would actually be better contained since Albanians would stop burning historical artifacts and buildings because they got what they wanted (at least some of them would stop anyway). Here's more on my opinion on Kosovo, and Yugo in general: en:User_talk:Bože_pravde#Thank_you_very_much.21 Maîtresse 22:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Well I certainly like how you actually provided an argument rather than just saying IT'S SERBIA'S RIGHT or some crap like that. And yes, you're completely right that another failure statelet is the last thing the region needs. (I change my mind about once a month on the issue btw hehe when I hear convincing arguments from either side.) However, Kosovo is pretty much run/funded by the UN, much more than they would get from Serbia (who's giving $ to the Serbs, which pisses off the Albanians). You may think you're taking the 'nationalists' side but you're not. They're being idiots who simply want to keep the province out of selfish reasons (pride etc.) while you're looking at it from an economic perspective (DON'T EVER THINK YOU'RE LIKE THEM! lol :P). However, when you said that sooner or later they'll forget their differences, that's a VERY optimistic and idealistic side of you speaking... I think it will take many many many many generations for the tension to get even slightly decreased! Most people down there live in ignorance, and they will for many many many further generations, not allowing any reason to enter their heads, only being filled with nationalistic pride and hatred (for either those savage Serbs, or those slimy Albanians, if you get my point). *Sigh... I WISH it could be different, but I think it won't happen for a really long time, if EVER... In addition, considering how much crime (drug trafficking, kidnapping/prostitution trafficking, terrorism establishment etc.) is going on in Kosovo, Serbia needs to separate itself from that and try to gain a clean slate, and re-establish strong connections with the west (as much as they've fucked us over, they can also put us back on our feet again... those bastards lol). OK I'm gonna STOP ranting now hahah. (Ps: yea seriously, talk about bunnies...lol) Maîtresse 21:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
