Yes, we are most definitely though the actual structure is not yet fixed. The aim is to start it sometime late April. It will be extensively announced prior to starting. Thanks for the enquiry :) --ROGER DAVIES talk 10:09, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for adopting me!
I am so thrilled to be adopted! Thank you! I hope I will not be too much bother. Now, for my first question: Am I supposed to do anything else about the adoption process, and how does this work? Civilaffairs (talk) 15:39, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Civilaffairs
- I have replied on my talk page, asking for guidance on how to proceed. Civilaffairs (talk) 16:02, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Civilaffairs
-
- Thank you for your help. I wasn't sure from reading your guidelines whether you meant you wanted to carry the conversation over completely to the other member's talk page or do a back-and-forth, so I thought it best to ask.
-
- What I hope to achieve from Wikipedia: I would like to see Wikipedia become a more reliable resource. It is increasingly cited as such, despite its experimental nature. So, rather than complaining that it is unreliable and not to be trusted, I decided to try to do my small part in making it better.
-
- What I aim to dabble in, mostly: I have already begun trying to improve the entry on Operation Storm, and would like to work on related entries. As you can imagine, NPOV is difficult to achieve in any entry related to the former Yugoslavia. Perhaps, as an outsider who is knowledgeable about the former Yugoslavia and has studied its history, I can help out a bit on that score.
-
- I have recently, out of conscience, become involved in an entry about an artifact of the Holocaust in Croatia which has been nominated for deletion. Gruesome artifacts are not my favourite subject, so I hope I can clean this entry up and then be done with it, other than keeping an eye out for vandalism.
-
- I noted that help has been requested on the UNTAC entry and may work on that one a bit, as well as a few other entries about Cambodia.
-
- What is the proper way to go about deleting an image? I have already proposed deletion, or at least a caption rewrite, on the talk page of Operation Storm, but I am unsure how to proceed.
-
- If you see me formatting incorrectly or doint anything wrong, please let me know. I appreciate constructive criticism. It's how we learn. Civilaffairs (talk) 17:07, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Civilaffairs
-
-
- Thank you for your help with the image. I will rewrite the caption for now. The source is a messageboard for CroForce (hardly NPOV source), and anyone can post an image on a messageboard, so no authentication is possible. As the messageboard is for Croatian military who participated in Op Storm and their generals are now standing trial for war crimes in the Hague, it is obvious that they have every reason to post anything which they believe exonerates them. I think the image should probably be deleted. Some Croat editors object to images from the United States Museum of the Holocaust on the grounds that the photographs in question originally came from the former Yugoslavia and are therefore suspect(!), yet submit images from sites like CroForce. Some sort of reasonable consensus of what types of sites are acceptable needs to be reached, but I am not holding out much hope for that at the moment.Civilaffairs (talk) 17:56, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Civilaffairs

- I am sorry to be such a bother. Regarding the entry on the artifact that I became involved with because it was threatened with deletion, I have run into something I do not know how to handle. One editor has repeatedly edited this entry to include very inappropriate humour (such as making fun of the victims of one of the most notorious WWII death camps). This same editor has also deleted reputable sources from the entry and then immediately placed it on the RFChist claiming "external links are very serb ultranationalist POV – The issue is in fact whether the content of the article is not just a rumour spread by nationalists." I have patiently tried to participate in a constructive dialogue, but I see no point in continuing if such disruption is allowed to continue. Civilaffairs (talk) 16:21, 15 April 2008 (UTC)Civilaffairs
- I went ahead and asked the lead coordinator at MilHist about this, so perhaps you needn't be bothered after all. This entry needs to be indexed into the MilHist framework anyway. Many thanks for you kind help! Civilaffairs (talk) 17:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)Civilaffairs

- Again, sorry to bother you, but can you tell me what an SPA account is, or how I can find out what it is? I tried searching, but all I got was spa. Civilaffairs (talk) 17:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)Civilaffairs

- Thanks for the quick answer. I was most perplexed. I had no idea it was against the rules to contribute to just one range of topics. Am I missing something, or is it hard for beginners to find this rule? I had planned to work on the Balkans for awhile, and then move on to Cambodia. I would prefer to work on one on one article at a time, at least in the beginning, as it is rather hard to pull up research on very different projects at one time, but it looks like I will have to diversify. Many thanks again for being such a helpful adopter! 21:11, 18 April 2008 (UTC)Civilaffairs

Hello. I think I'm probably going to screw up your fancy user talk page by leaving this comment, but thank you for offering to take me under your wing. How then does this proceed? StivaTolstoy (talk) 18:34, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tag and Assess
Hi Jhfireboy, thanks for all the hard work you are putting into the milhist tag and assess drive. Just a little note to ask you to consider all of the possible task forces for an article. I know that with about 50 task forces this can be troublesome, but in some cases you have missed out a few possible ones. See Future Surface Combatant (talk) where I also added Maritime=yes and British=yes Thanks again for all your effort. Regards. Woody (talk) 20:08, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Don't worry about it, as long as we try and get as many as possible in future. I have missed them myself before; this article was on my watchlist which is why I saw it and it wasn't correctly tagged! Thanks again for your effort. Woody (talk) 20:34, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
