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 very frequently. 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 several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, offline publication, article improvement contests, and other tasks.
• We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
• We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.

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 17:30, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

user warnings

Anyone someone drops the n-bomb in vandalism, don't be afraid to whip out the steeper warnings, even if it is their first no-no. Great work on reverting the Marshall University article, BTW. youngamerican (wtf?) 18:37, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

You're doing great. The best advice I can give when vandal whacking is wear a thick skin, don't let your emotions get to you, and use your gut. youngamerican (wtf?) 02:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar thanks

Thank you, I almost didn't notice since most people leave them on my talk page. Thanks anyway and keep up the good work! GDonato (talk) 16:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I didn't see any on your talk page, but did notice an awards section on your main page so I added it there. Sorry about that, I'll add them to your talk page next time mjwilson (^Talk/_Contrib) 16:46, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

No, no, I prefer them there. I move the ones on my talk page there. You done the better thing, it's just most people don't think of that. Thanks! GDonato (talk) 20:28, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Ticker

The ticker on wikinews relies on some JavaScript code from Wikinews. It wouldnt be possible to implement here without putting the code in this sites MediaWiki:Common.js. Knowing the rules and regulations here, that's not going to happen. And it definately wont get on the main page - it's too strict what does go on. Sorry! Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 21:19, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but it would only be visible for you. You can put the code in your personal JS, but other have to do the same to see the ticker. Sorry! Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 21:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Private foundation

Thanks for the globalization tag on Private foundation. It made me search to see if commonwealth countries have them as well as the USA. I made some changes to allow elaboration of Canadian and Australian law, but I don't know how forthcoming such contributions shall be in the next few months.EECavazos 02:42, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome.

United States Africa Command

Hi, wanted to ask about what exact improvements this article needs. It's already got a large number of wikilinks and is quite long, given that the command is new. Also, what do you think needs to be cleaned up? Thanks Buckshot06 14:17, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Kuc logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kuc logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use.

Maher Arar

You nominated Maher Arar as good article candidate. I initially gave it a review asking for second opinion. Second (and third) opinions have been provided, outlining several problems with the article. Please refer to Talk:Maher_Arar#GA_review and Talk:Maher_Arar#2nd_opinion_from_User:Canadian_Paul for what needs to be done.

If you think you can improve the article, I'm more than willing to wait and see how things turn out. If you'd like to improve the article at a much later time, I'll fail it for now, and you can put it up for nomination when you feel you have addressed the concerns. If you have any further question please leave a message behind on my talk. Thanks.Bless sins (talk) 18:48, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
