Seeing that you are interested in Byzantine (military) projects, I thought you might be interested in one of the related wikiprojects. Check WP:MILHIST, WP:HOG.--Yannismarou 20:31, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Campaign box
Hi! And sorry for the delay in responding to your request. I haven't made any campaign box until now, and I do not fully understand how do you imagine it. Have you seen any similar box in Wikipedia? I'm willing to help, and if I understand exactly what you want and if I can do it, I'll make the box.--Yannismarou 13:25, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- I see another user was quicker than me and created the campaign box. I just corrected a typo there.--Yannismarou 18:18, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Aswan Dam
You noted the condition of the article on the Aswan Dam. What you saw was vandalism. I reverted the article to the version before it got messed with. Mike 03:23, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Regarding your edits to Seabird
I've looked more deeply in your arguments "exploits" vs "life in" and I think while some are somewhat valid I don't agree that "exploits" is the right wording either. Anyway, sorry for the warning template before, but your editsummary was somewhat suspicous, and the odd content change did not help either. I'd try further discussing this on the article's talk page, but I won't revert you again if you want to reinstate "exploits" instead of "life in" Best Wishes CharonX/talk 01:39, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
I have to concur with CharonX about your arguments, the suspiciousness of your edit summary, and the recommendation to hit the talk page. And don't take this too hard, but now I'm going to lecture you about wiki customs and manners just a little. Being bold (just jumping in and changing) is something we value around here. Being hardnosed (insisting on a change when consensus seems to be against it) is not. Raising the issue on the talk page is awesome. Raising it only in one place on the talk page, and doing all the discussion there, would have been awesomer. Voting is often done here, and it's a really bad idea. A little bit of net.history might clarify that statement—look for articles online about USENET's vote about creating alt.culture.tibet, for a start. Rather than propose a vote, lay out the debate and show that you understand the reasons on both sides. Then ask what other people think. We're looking for a consensus, a shared opinion, rather than just the numeric strength of a vote. Now, I hope I haven't been too preachy, but I hope this helps you help Wikipedia better. And seriously, have fun with that Byzantine history stuff; it's fascinating. eritain 09:48, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Not a warning, just a discussion. Some people believe in those, you know. eritain 07:51, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
And I apologize for the 'hardnosed' bit—I had you mixed up with the other bloke who edited to 'exploit' and also got reverted. eritain 08:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Games Workshop
Hey, thanks for the info - I see we share more than a few common interests. :-) --Grimhelm 19:30, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Byzantium1081ADlightpurple-1-+Antioch.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Byzantium1081ADlightpurple-1-+Antioch.png. 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. 20:05, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Tourskin. I've just noticed that you contribute to many military-related articles and thought you'd be interested in joining the project. This is the link: Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up ® 13:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome!
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, detailed article and content review, offline publication, and other tasks.
- We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
- 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! Carom 04:20, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
