[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 watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
- 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 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!
- 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 18:51, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poland contour map
Sure, why not. On the other hand I see no reason to do that as my license is much more free than the CC-by-SA and you are free to make any maps with that one anyway (in fact the set of my blue maps became some sort of a standard on English wiki so there's already a plethora of maps ready, just check what links to the license). But if you believe crediting me and adding CC-by-SA would be in any way better than crediting me and adding GFDL, then go for it. //Halibutt 22:05, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sure, it's fine with me. //Halibutt 05:03, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- Great. Thanks. -- Wikitravel Sapphire 05:08, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] help request
The question: How to I disambiguate Liz Carroll? Currently, the article is about a musician, but I'd like to start an article about one of two suspects in the murder of their foster child, Marcus Fiesel. Help would be appreciated. -- Wikitravel Sapphire 03:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Because the person currently at Liz Carroll is likely the predominant use of that name, it should remain at its current title. So, to create a new article of a person with the same name, you would create it at Liz Carroll (SOMETHING), where SOMETHING is usually something like "(author)" or "(politician)". Keep in mind that the new person should independently satisfy the criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (people). It is probably best to integrate the new material you wish to add into the main article on the murder, as this person may only be notable in regard to that murder as a suspect, not in general as a person per se. —Centrx→talk • 03:12, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. Would you happen to have an example of the latter (I.e. including the information within the article on Marcus Fiesel? Also, should I add a disambiguator after Marcus' name? -- Wikitravel Sapphire 03:14, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] My images and wikitravel
Hi there.. I wasn't aware that wikitravel required the CA-by-SA 1.0 licence. To be entirely honest, I'm not even sure of the differences between the two licences, but I assume the differences are relatively slight. I just had a look at the upload page with available licences and CA-by-SA 1.0, 2.0 and 2.5 are all available to use, but 1.0 is listed as the 'default'...

[edit] Infobox
Hi Sapphire, thanks for the message you left on my talk page. To answer your question, I suggest you have a good look at Wikipedia:Infobox templates. For the most part everything looks good. I've made some minor changes that utilize the suggested width of 300px, and I have removed the align="left" from all of the sections that don't really need them to cut down on the code involved. Now there are generally two means of implementing this sort of template. You can just post this infobox's code on a page, and then have to copy all of the table code each time you use it, or you can create a infobox in the template name space. Something like Template:Cathedral infobox in which case you would have to change a few things in order to make it work correctly. Have a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Ships/Tables#Table_of_statistics_for_a_ship for an example of each kind of table. Don't be afraid to change anything I have already changed, and if I can be of more help let me know. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 03:17, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Checkuser request
You recently compiled and listed a case at requests for checkuser. A checkuser or clerk has requested you supply one or more diffs to justify the use of the checkuser procedure in the case, in accordance with the procedures listed at the top of the requests for checkuser. For an outcome to be achieved, we require that you provide these diffs as soon as possible. This has been implemented to reduce difficulties for checkusers, and is essential for your case to be processed. A link to your recently-created case which has this information missing is here. Thanks for your co-operation. Daniel.Bryant 10:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC), checkuser clerk.

[edit] I need your help
Someone has nominated about 20 library articles that I've added for the Libraries in Ohio project to be deleted! I am sick about this. I have spent hours working on these becuase it appears on our project list! Please jump into the discussion here and let them know that this is a Wiki-Ohio project and they should not delete it!!!! delete discussion
I realize that many of these articles are not fully fleshed out. After I have added a few of them as stubs, other people have gone in and added more details. I did my best to make these articles sound from the start, they have references and external links. I don't care if someone wordsmiths what I've added at all, I just hate that all of the hours I've spent on this project is about to be deleted, because I was contributing to a project. If I had come up with the article ideas on my own, and then someone thought they were not notable, I would accept that as part of the community interaction. How can someone just delete articles that are part of a project? I don't understand this, and it has me a bit frustrated. I'm open to any feedback you have.
Thanks!!!!CRKingston 09:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Relicensing Image:Warszawa_podzial_administracyjny_2002.svg
HI! I would be more than happy to apply a new license to my image but I would very much like to use an up to date license and not a retired one [1] would cc-by-3.0 be acceptable? mfx Q&A 20:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, no. The copyleft for Wikitravel is stuck in the past with the CC-by-SA 1.0 license. It's been a pain for us since a lot of good materials, especially photos, are licensed under the CC-by-SA 2.0 or later. Would is be possible to do CC-by-SA 1.0 and any later?

The task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities is happy to announce that there are now (at least) stub articles for all municipalities of Germany. Now the task force is looking for help in fleshing these out a little bit. The current phase of activity for the task force is to copy in infoboxes from the articles in German Wikipedia. If you want to help, even just for a few articles, look at the instructions and links here
There are now way over 26.000 articles tagged as part of our Wikiproject and many still need either an importance or a quality assessment. Also there are many more out there that do need to be tagged like approx 8000 municipalities. If you would like to help take a browse through Articles needing Importance assessment or Articles needing a basic quality assessment. |
