[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:

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 16:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Canute the Great

Here are a couple of useful Wikipedia-hints:

  • Add your comments to the bottom, rather than the top, of discussion pages.
  • Sign your comments with ~~~~.

I've tried to explain at Talk:Canute the Great why I think your addition is unsuitable. I agree that the previous version is not good but I think your changes haven't improved it. Haukur 22:33, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Canute again

I appreciate your enthusiasm but to get anywhere with Wikipedia articles you'll have to follow Wikipedia policies and guidelines, some of which are counterintuitive. Take this, for example:

"He was a Viking prince, with some connections to legengendary pirates of Jomsborg, known as Jomsvikings, and the Bretwalda of the Anglo-Saxons, maybe, England's only true one."

This seems to me like it is original research. I've never seen Canute called Bretwalda elsewhere, let alone the only true one. On Wikipedia we have a policy that we should not do original research. Read WP:NOR. Haukur 10:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] God's angels

"...Harald Bluetooth, his father, being the first Viking to accept the validity of the Chritian faith, and the belief in God's angels."

Try to avoid long literary sentences like that. Something more in Wikipedia-style would be "...Harald Bluetooth, his father, being the first Danish king to convert to Christianity". Haukur 15:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Sigrid the Haughty

Hi there! Well, I must say that I, being not the native speaker at all, had large difficulties in understanding some of your changes. Could you please break them into single sentences, without digressions et al? Szopen 06:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

WikiWiki, PLEASE revise your edits. The sentences are too large and I can't understand them. Are you native speaker? Szopen 10:01, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I have ade some improvement which I hope are enough.

WikieWikieWikie 12:13, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This article may interest you

[1]

It is interesting. I think it is untrustworthy though, as the interpretations of the evdince precariously hinge on the assumption of Cnut as a teenage Viking interloper on English shores. I really want to get a full list of original sources together so I might comprehenively analyse their compilations, for a book, Cnutr and the Vikings. It is driving me over the edge with all these poor analysis. If anyone wants to comment on the era of Cnut the Great, it should be with entirely solid evidence, or simply not at all. It is the Ottar the Black poem Knutsdrapa which is the cause of so much mistakeness. It is the key.

[edit] Image licencing

Please be careful when you upload images to Wikipedia. If the image is not in the public domain or licenced under a free licence (mostly GFDL or CC-BY-SA-2.X) then we most often shouldn't use it. And you can't assume that an image is in the public domain, you've got to be sure. The vast majority of websites out there do not have public domain images. A random Norwegian website is almost certainly not in the public domain. Images on the BBC website are not in the public domain. That a site doesn't explicitly specify its copyright terms or show the copyright sign is not an indication that it is in the public domain.

I know this can be tough and counterintuitive but to be effective at this you've got to read up on how things are done on Wikipedia. Otherwise you'll keep getting frustrated as you see your images deleted. Haukur 10:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I forgot to mention one thing. Artwork is in the public domain if more than 70 years have passed since the author's death. Photographs of such artwork which aim at accurately reproducing it are also in the public domain in the United States if the artwork is two-dimensional. So the picture Image:E&C-WinchesterCross.jpg, which you uploaded, actually is in the public domain since the artist is long dead and the photograph only aims at showing his two-dimensional artwork. It's a nice image too and it belongs in the article on Cut, so kudos for that. Haukur 10:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lithosphere

You remarked on my user page that "the lithosphere is in fact a part of the mantle", rather than the other way around. Where are you getting your definitions from? --Bejnar 05:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

You got it almost right. The crust is not part of the mantle, the mantle is not part of the crust, but both are part of the lithosphere. The lithosphere is the larger unit. Check it out. The boundary between the crust and the mantle is called the Mohorovičić discontinuity. --Bejnar 23:12, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I am sorry, well defined scientific terms are not a matter of debate. You are still not using terms in a standard geological way. You seem to understand the process, but not the jargon. Please read some standard geological textbooks, memories of lectures are not a sufficient substitute. If your lecturers at University have published, please refer expressly, directly, and specifically to their published works. Otherwise, please keep their ideas (if indeed it is not just your misinterpretation of what they said) off of the Wikipedia. Lithos does in fact refer to rock coming from Greek Λιθικός meaning stone. --Bejnar 23:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
This same source,[[2]], goes on to say in a later paragraph "The lithosphere includes the crust". Check it out. --Bejnar 00:43, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
(1) Land is not flat. (2) The earth includes the atmosphere which is quite different from the lithosphere, but they are both part of the earth. Now take that understanding and apply it to the mantle and the crust. They are different, however they are both part of the lithosphere. Now if you drop an ice cube in water it will sink and then rise because its density is (mostly) lighter than that of the water, but the initial force (in this case of gravity) drives it down lower than pure isostasy would suggest. In a similar manner, the convection currents drag material down; however, that material resurfaces due to its lighter density. (3) The crust does not "lay" on the mantle. Yes, it is above (in a gravity based definition) the mantle, but it doesn't lay there like a piece of paper. It floats more like an ice cube on water. (4) One does not refer to the oceanic lithosphere any more than one would refer to the grain of a tree. It is the grain of the wood and it is the oceanic crust. Question for you. Is there oceanic crust under the continental crust of a craton? --Bejnar 01:42, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Canute the Great

Thank you for a good work on Canute the Great :o) I was wondering what happened to England and Canute's army after he died? --Arigato1 15:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I must say I gather from the above you have made comments on the Jews and the gays as especially malfactory to the national wellbeing. I will not judge you, as I can see where you might be comeing from, and the interest in Cnut lets me think you are a person with honour and loyalty in your heart. All the same, if you want to think our troubles are all down to these people, who, as a whole, are scapegoats, understand this...Jews may be international money launderers, gays may wish to be blind to the pains of mankind, yet really, capitalism itself is international deceit, which drowns in people blind to the degradations which plague their existence. If it is capitalism of complete arse holes, content to shit all over their own people, it is especially the case. It don't matter if Hitler was a unifier of nations, and commander of armies, he was a shit head... and the Nazi followers were, and are, mugs. Cnut was no fascist, the only shame on him is that people like that use such heroes as loudspeakers which magicly turn their lies into beautiful and romantic truths...I hope you understand, and the necessity to say this to you unecessary anyway. I just wish people wise up, smell the crispy bacon. I am British by the way and proud of my nation, and prouder still to know we stood against the black tide of ignorance. Even if it was not a unanimous vote. I bet many Germans were happy the British did this too. Alot of their liberal economics comes from the British who put Germany back together. A shame we could not do the same for ourselves.

I see you are a fan of the Japanese, if not one yourself. Maybe you know that one of the foremost Samurai philosophies is that a Samurai does not deal in the ways of politicians, as there is no glory in their deeds. That says alot to me. Just look at the world today... politics in its present form is the only real blight we face on the Earth.

Now for Cnut! It is a good question... I am glad you ask. I will not pretend to know anything exact, although I will tell you what I imagine is likely to be a true answer. Cnut's conquest of England meant that he was the rightful leader of the English army, and the fleet, in battle. He was of course king of the Danes also, although I believe the Danish army went home with Harald his brother after the conquest (I will get to the 1016 thing. It is probably wrong. If Harald died after he left England, it was in 1017, 1018 is the most likely anyway, for various reasons which I must check on). This means that Cnut found a way to keep his hold on the country, without a particularly significant Danish military presence. After all, he was not the King of Denmark at the time of his coronation as King of Engand.

It was the Huscarls who meant he could do this. His own essentially private, army, which he was the founder of. These were the House-men, probably of considerably mixed nationality. His mixing of English and Danish Earls is testament to this. Anyway, the Danelaw meant half the country was loyal to him anyway, and the English in persistent opposition dealt with over the couple of years after his enthronment, most were already dead.

So, with the Huscarls in consideration, Cnut's army was mainly English, in England, along with Danes in Denmark, and the glue which held it all together were the king's own elite troops, on the royal payroll. After his death, these men went to his sons, although as the succession was in dispute, they probably divided, although maybe not along the lines of nationality.

England was then, basically the same after Cnut died, with most Danes and English in support of his sons as the best options presented themselves. With basic unsureity, as well as much conflicts of propagandas by the magnates, who were behind one or the other of the women who bore the childer. It gets complicated here though.

So I'll just leave it at the fact that in 1066, Harald II Godwineson, died on the grasses of Hastings with his Huscarls there to die with him, and the last remant of Cnut's stamp on the English military. The Normans kept many of his laws, as well as his four Earldoms, although theirs was an entirely different way of life than that of the Vikings.

[edit] Descreimont

Please do not move articles without having reached consensus! You can't go around moving articles just because you personally think they should be called something else - and the fact remains, Canute is the most "popular" form. Use any search engine to see for yourself. If you still want to officially propose a move, do so and let people discuss it.
And do not disguise a major change such as a move as a minor edit! That is definitely not good Wiki-behaviour. --dllu 10:50, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of 100 Days (Rwanda)

A tag has been placed on 100 Days (Rwanda) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Actually it looks like it's working fine right now.--Cúchullain t/c 20:33, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
That's the way it looks on the other pages (Queen Elizabeth II, etc.)--Cúchullain t/c 00:52, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
I don't know much about it. The template hasn't been altered significantly in several months, though, and it's obviously not a glitch. If you don't like how it looks you can discuss it at Template talk:Infobox British Royalty.--Cúchullain t/c 05:26, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dubious Reference

If there were Joms on the coast, with links in Scandinavia through the Baltic Sea, and the Danes held interests in their commercial as well as military activities, this, alongside Canute's conflicts with the Wends, as well as assistance from the Poles, suggest a strong Danish presence in Pomerania.[1]

You have today stated that you do not have access to this book and yet you have added it as a reference. I ask you to self revert until such time as you do have access to the book in question.

Legends relate the rulers of the Danish kingdom to the mythical Jomsvikings, whose stronghold, Jomsborg, is thought to have been made at the delta of the Oder river, on the Island of Wolin. If there were Joms on the coast, with links in Scandinavia through the Baltic Sea, and the Danes held interests in their commercial as well as military activities, this, alongside Canute's conflicts with the Wends, as well as assistance from the Poles, suggest a strong Danish presence in Pomerania.[1] Its position put it on the map for merchants of Scandinavia to journey between the Baltic Sea, central Europe, and the Mediterranean Sea.

[edit] Discussion on Canute

Hi, please participate in the discussion on the talk page to reach consensus. It is being discussed that the claims you are making of his dominion are not verifiable and are conjecture. Bardcom (talk) 22:53, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, please observe the 3RR rule which states that you are not allowed to revert the same article more than 3 times in the past 24 hours. You also continue to revert the article to make the same claims, even though a discussion is ongoing in the talk pages. You may not be aware of these rules, but please discuss the claims, and your references, before changing the article. Be patient. This is not a race. If you have verifiable sources and references, then the changes will be made once consensus is reached. Otherwise there is a good chance that your behaviour will be seen to be edit-warring, and you may even be subject to a block (in fact, you can be blocked for a violation of a 3RR anyway, if reported). Your changes have been reverted for now. Don't be in a rush to put them back - think about what edits you want to make, and what sources you are using, and if the sources are reliable. Bardcom (talk) 15:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Below is the standard 3RR template that is to warn you about not engaging in discussion and constantly reverting the article. Bardcom (talk) 15:57, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Canute the Great. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution.

No problem - let's continue to discuss on the article's talk page. We'll keep it friendly - I know you are acting in good faith and are genuinely trying to make this a great article. Bardcom (talk) 15:59, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines

  • I should be grateful if you would read and follow WP:Talk; in particular please do not delete other peoples comments. Also it is very difficult to follow the thread of discussions when you amend your own comments after people have responded to them. Aatomic1 (talk) 13:10, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I was not aware of any deletions. I cant recall any non grammatical amendment either. (WikieWikieWikie (talk) 13:32, 22 April 2008 (UTC))
This is what I commented on.You then added maybe after I had commented. I would not have mentioned this but you have now unintentionally deleted the last comment made by Angus. I note from your talk page others have requested you to use ":::" and also add edit summaries - It makes it easier to follow the development of the article and the associated WP:Talk Aatomic1 (talk) 14:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries - again

Hi WikieWikieWikie, could I ask you to use useful edit summaries when you edit articles? A summary of "WikieWikieWikie" is not helpful. The edit summary is there for you to say why you have made a change. You can read all about them at: [[WP:ES]. Continuing to use "WikieWikieWikie" as your only edit summary could be seen as deliberately disruptive by some. Thanks, Gwernol 13:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:HaroldGodwinson.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:HaroldGodwinson.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Angus McLellan (Talk) 14:29, 1 June 2008 (UTC) --Angus McLellan (Talk) 14:29, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I can have a look through old coin books and see what we can get, but we do have the Tapestry images to show Harold, which is a lot more than we have for lots of medieval people. Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:25, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
This was the best I could do in a minute or two. Probably someone with better photoshopping skills could make it look rather better. This image is public domain. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:29, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] changing referenced text

Thanks for contributing to Rwandan Genocide. I did want to caution you about making extensive wording changes to text that has a reference. That text should be supported by the given reference, and if you change the text so that it is no longer supported by the reference, then all of the text can later be removed as being misleading and unsupported. Thanks, BanyanTree 22:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. I can assure you it is not my intention to alter the information under reference in any way that might be seen to mislead anyone. I try to improve syntax and phraseology, as well as elaborate, and equivocate, the article as far as may be appropriate. If this turns out not to be appropriate, I will not argue. Both elaboration and equivocation are potentially controversial, I admit. I say again though, my only intention is to improve any article's readability by the balance and harmoniseation of the arguments within. If you ask me this improves the encyplopedicness of a text. I ultimately do not alter tha facts. I am also - as far as the Rwandan Genocide is of concern, entirely objective; being from the U.K, with a critical, rather than cynical attitude.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:HaroldGodwinson.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:HaroldGodwinson.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. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:10, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Continued use of inappropriate edit summaries

Once again, I find I have to warn you for continuing to use "WikieWikieWikie" as your edit summary when editing pages. This practice is disruptive - since you ignored my last request I am now going to warn you that continuing to do this could be result in you being blocked from editing. Please read WP:ES to understand what the edit summary is for. Thanks, Gwernol 12:39, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Not really. If you are making a minor edit you should mark it as minor. No one understands that "WikieWikieWikie" means "minor" How could they? Even for minor edits you should leave an edit summary. For example this edit is: a) not minor and b) should be accompanied by an edit summary along the lines of "converting quotations to use blockquotes template". Just leaving the name of the section changed is also not useful as an edit summary. The purpose of the edit summary is to say why you made a change, not simply which section of the article you altered. Again I suggest you read through WP:ES and try to follow that guideline.
By the way, in looking through your edits to try to figure out what you were doing, I found this edit which looks a lot like vandalism. Please be careful with your editing. Thanks, Gwernol 13:04, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
