[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 quite regularly. 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 a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you'd 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!
- Want to help with specific requests for assistance? Our requests page has extensive lists of requested articles, images, maps, and translations.
- Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, 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 09:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 04:31, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chesty Puller
You recently made an edit to the Chesty Puller article, with the edit summary "Adding a setence back in." However, you actually deleted that chant and retained an older version of the salute story — with the {{fact}} tag on it. Your edit summary did not indicate the reason for removing the chant. The previous version had a reference for that item. Is there a reason that you returned the fact tag? — ERcheck (talk) 01:31, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Sorry if I screwed up the edit, I was reverting a an edit someone made that took out a rather large chunk. I didn't add the chant back in because I thought it looked odd in an article, didn't notice a {{fact}} tag on there, my bad! Put it all back if you want though. It matters not.

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kicks Hawaii

[edit] Barry Ley
Hi! Of course its socketpuppet... Those two accounts are certainly DrParkes speaking for himself. But I will let the administrators deal with that. Regards Loudenvier 15:31, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
For goodness sakes. Its sockpuppet. SOCKPUPPET. not socket puppet. You really ought to know. You are part of one. And hopefully the administrators will deal with you! So, are they like the agents in MATRIX...? Kbenton 22:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Did I ever spell it socket puppet? No. That would be Loudenvier. You obviously don't care to follow the policies of Wikipedia, so I think this needs to be taken to the next level. Gelston 09:39, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- I spelled socket because I was thinking about TCP/IP terms. A socket is a conduit of data, and so I thought the term was about people sharing the same sockets (in TCP/IP jargon). Now I'll have to thanx the sockpuppet DrParkes for clarifying my error! Thank you. Regards. Loudenvier 13:58, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, I wasn't bothered about how you spelled it. I didn't really care. Its funny seeing how much KBenton and gang were such hypocrits though. Masalama. Gelston 18:04, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion discussion
Dear Gelston, there is English translation of main source for the article Internet troll squads here: [1] (I have also copied it to talk page). I would appreciate if you could take a look, and give me a piece of advice about it. 20:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
-
- I couldn't find the name Internet Troll Squads anywhere in the translation. So that name would be original research. Making a section on it under trolls would make sense or maybe under FSB, because face it, we have ONE article, and it required a translation from Russian. If it was truely notable, it wouldn't have needed that. Regardless of what happens, though, the name of the article has got to go. Gelston 05:52, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you! I included more sources and made many changes in the article. Right now, the existence of these "squads" is supported by at least four (maybe more) good sources, one of them a Polish newspaper. You may take a look. I have created an additional article about writer Grigory Svirsky who is a notable person and who also wrote about these squads He was a military pilot during WWII; than tried to fight censorship in the Soviet Union. I would appreciate if you could suggest a better title for the "troll" article.Biophys 21:52, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
