[edit] Your edits to Military of the Republic of China

Hey there. I notice you've been adding information on arms purchases and visits to the US. Although that may be useful, I think you're copy-and-pasting information from news articles without sources. Really you're inserting too much information - you should add a brief summary of what's happening - one or two lines - with full citations as used elsewhere in the article. Otherwise it forces someone else to clean it up.

Please summarise the material you added to a much briefer format and add citations. Thanks, John Smith's 11:51, 16 August 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:

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 02:01, 21 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NATO Troops with game interface.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:NATO Troops with game interface.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Pricing in World in Conflict

Hi. It doesn't matter if the pricing is official, confirmed, or you have sources for it. The bottom line is, it's convention not to include them (other editors also think it's not relevant to the article). If people want to know what price a game is, they can check Amazon or their local shops. Just because information is useful doesn't mean it should be included in an article. Thanks! Fin©™ 07:54, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World in Conflict Tables

Hi. Wikipedia is for information, yes, but not all information is encyclopedic. Like I said above, just because information is useful doesn't mean it should be included. The table of the cost, deployment and recharge time of each tactical aid is one such piece of information. It's something you might find at GameFaqs, or in the game's manual itself, but it shouldn't be on Wikipedia. Hence, per WP:NOT, I removed it. Thanks! Fin©™ 10:13, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello again. I've removed the list of tactical aids again, as it read like a game guide/manual and was far too descriptive. Try to stay away from over describing minor elements of games, instead provide a short overview paragraph. Thanks! Fin©™ 13:25, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WiC Genre

I changed the genre to RTT after a discussion in the talk section in which 3 people (including myself) were in favor of the change and one against. I made the change and put in a citation to an interview in which the developers described it as an RTT. If you think it should be RTS and not RTT then you should continue the discussion in the WiC article, and not just change revert it without saying anything. 24.167.151.237 18:42, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FYI

I restored one of the wiki-links on the Taiwan military page to the Harpoon missile sale, as I don't think there was one previously on the page. But you were right to remove the other ones - they didn't all need to be linked. John Smith's 11:04, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User warnings.

Hi Kliu, nice to meet a fellow game addict. ;-) Anyway, to answer your questions, you can find the most common templates here: User:AndonicO/Vandalism Templates (the actual page where all the templates are is too long, so I keep it there in case someone wants to know). For example, if the person vandalizing hasn't been given a warning, and the edit appears to be a test (for example, someone added "hi" at the top of the page), use a {{subst:test1}}, or a {{subst:uw-vandalism1}}. If it's their first warning, and it's severe vandalism (cursing, or if on a biography adding nonsense about the person), use a "level 2 warning" ({{subst:test2}}, or {{subst:uw-vandalism2}}. If it's their second time, and it's not severe vandalism, use a level 2. If it's the second time, and it is severe, use a level 3. Third time, non severe, you could use a level 3, or a level 4 warning. If it's the third, and it's severe, use a level 4, straight away. If they keep vandalizing after a level 4 (check the time on the warner's signature, and the time of the last edit to make sure it's actually after), report them to WP:AIV, and an administrator will block them quite soon. Hope that's not too confusing: if I didn't make myself clear, just say so. · AndonicO Talk 23:42, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

P.S. You could try the warnings at the sandbox: just copy and paste them as you see them here. · AndonicO Talk 23:42, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome, it's my pleasure. · AndonicO Talk 13:03, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:World In Conflict Taiwan Metallic USA Design Boxart.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:World In Conflict Taiwan Metallic USA Design Boxart.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 06:34, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:WIC Taiwan Metallic USA Boxart.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:World In Conflict Taiwan Metallic USA Design Boxart.jpg. The copy called Image:World In Conflict Taiwan Metallic USA Design Boxart.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:WIC Taiwan Metallic USA Boxart.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:WIC Taiwan Metallic USA Boxart.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

[edit] Text copyright problem with Plot section on World In Conflict

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to World In Conflict. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

[edit] Plot Edits to World in Conflict

My plot edits were a neutral change to the article, no view other than what is available to players of the game has been represented. All of my edits to the article can be verified from the in-game materials. Grammar edits were needed for better clarity and certain details, such as the reasons for the Soviet attacks, were summarized or, where redundant, left out in an effort to keep the article from violating Wikipedia article policy. Personal information, such as Colonel Sawyer's "crisis of conscience" during the war or Bannon's reference of guilt can be placed in a characters section if anyone is willing to start one (did he really have 'pangs of conscience' for the rest of his life?). Other information such as the Spetsnaz occupation of Liberty Island or the real reason for the defense of Fort Teller were added in as important plot points. The naval base at Norfolk is an educated guess as to the actual target since it is referred to only as "Norfolk" in the cinematic describing the aftermath of the Murmansk operation in the game. The painted still showing Soviet subs launching an attack on what appear to be military ships in harbor lend some credence to this. I have reverted the article back to my previous edit for these reasons.Voracious Reader 15:47, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World in Conflict, Taiwan

Hi. No, I'm not racist, and please do not jump to such completely rash decisions in the future. I'm simply following guidelines from Template_talk:Infobox_CVG/Syntax_Guide. They state, as regards release dates, "Use the first public non-festival release in the game's country of origin, as well as any English-language release dates available.". Taiwan is not English-language, and therefore, is not relevant. I'm removed it again in line with this guideline. Again, please do not use person attacks in the future, when you question an author's motive. Thanks. Fin©™ 09:27, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sky Bow III

Hello, again. As you created the article and added most of the content for it, please can you insert some citations and webpages? John Smith's 19:17, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Furthermore, I have a suggestion. I've been looking at the "Sky Bow" articles. I thought it would make more sense if there was just one article for them, rather than three, given they're so short. Do I have your support to merge them at some point? John Smith's 19:24, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry about the merger - Jerrch has already taken care of it! Just help improve the new article at Sky Bow as much as you can. John Smith's 21:26, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture request

Kliu, this might sound really weird but when are you next in Taiwan? Only I was wondering if you or someone you know could take a few military Taiwanese pictures and then upload them on to the project. We're really missing pictures on the ROCN, specifically the Perry and Kang Ding frigates, as well as the Hai Lung submarines. There are some already here but they're fair use and likely to be deleted. Any chance you could help? John Smith's (talk) 20:34, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

If you could basically as many naval photos as you can up close and personal while on holiday that would really help the project. Hope you have a nice time there. :) John Smith's (talk) 22:03, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Could you please update your pictures with things like when you took it, what camera you took it with, etc. John Smith's (talk) 22:07, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Problems with some photographs you uploaded

I had a look on the MND website and some of the photos you uploaded and claimed as your own were on the website. I can only assume you downloaded them from there and accidentily thought they were your own.

Can you please go through the pictures you've uploaded and try to work out which are your own and which are copyrighted by the Taiwanese defence ministry. We can keep them, but we need to put the right tag on them (according to a picture already uploaded the gov says they're PD). John Smith's (talk) 12:39, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

If you list the ROCN/MND pictures that would help. But more importantly please try to find the URLs where you got them from - if you can't they'll eventually be deleted one way or another. Look on the MND website - there are lots of pictures there. Some are on the official gallery, others on other sub-pages. John Smith's (talk) 22:09, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

One more thing - please give the URL where you found the picture. You should be able to find them again on the MND website - just look hard on all the pages. John Smith's (talk) 10:30, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please note the following

You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
