Thanks for the invite/article integrity

Hey thanks for the invite to WikiProject Military history! Most definitely interested in helping out where and when I can. I saw how badly the USS Simpson article was mangled, and decided to be bold. Looks like the person making the edits is unwilling or unable to play well with others.

Anyway, let me know if I can be of service in a particular area... I'm not the most experienced Wikipedian, but I will try!

BTW I'm a huge MSTie as well...

Put the article back to where I had it. Spent days working on it, only to it destroyed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.204.215.147 (talk • contribs) 23:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Helpme

Hi, how can we help you? You can ask your question here and place to the {{helpme}} template at the end so we know to check back.--Commander Keane 21:51, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm having trouble figuring out a infobox I'm trying to make for one of my articles. I want to include an overall title (bold) on top of the subcategories (also bold), but my title keeps sticking to the left side and creating two extra empty boxes on its right that I don't want. Plus, why is it attaching to the end of the article when I want it within a particular category?

Also, how do I keep border=4 while also making the title and/or subtitles grey? I tried looking for the answers in help, but it's a tad overwhelming. Thanks much for your help. ScreaminEagle 21:57, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Mmm, it would really help if you can give us the example you are working on. In an infobox, heading (eg = = ='s) are not used. Instead you just make the text bold and larger, as done in Template:Infobox Film.--Commander Keane 22:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Then maybe it's not an infobox if that's what it has to look like. I'm working with the something-box pictured at the bottom here.

Commanding Officers of the JFHQ-NCR

Commander	Deputy Commander	Dates
Maj. Gen. Guy C. Swan III	Rear Adm. Terence E. McKnight	2005 - Present
Maj. Gen. Galen B. Jackman	Rear Adm. Jan Cody Gaudio	2004 - 2005

I want it in the middle of the article under "Organization (of the Agency)," not at the end of the article (where it's migrated for some reason) because it will appear somewhat random. Also, I'm trying to specify the box as "Commanding Officers of the JFHQ-NCR" since I will be going into detail about different aspects of the organization of the agency in relation to other agencies, etc., as well. Also, can I make the title and subtitles grey or should I just leave them be? ScreaminEagle 22:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Ok, that's just a table (Help:Table). It has been migrating to the bottom of the page because it needs to have |} at the end. I have added that on your example above. Also, which article is this for? When I know the article I will take another look. I'm still a little unclear on what the grey heading questions was about.--Commander Keane 22:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I have edited the above example above, to simplify it a bit. There are lots of different ways to do tables, so use whatever way you like.--Commander Keane 22:43, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

A-ha, that makes more sense. The article in question is Joint Force Headquarters National Capital Region. It's still in its infancy obviously, and I'm trying to finish one section at a time.

As for grey heading, I wanted the boxes that say "Commander," "Deputy Commander," and "Dates" to be a different color (preferrably grey) than the entries below them (or is that overkill with the bold, too?).

(new edit) Also, I like that everything was centered before--looks a little odd to me now, or at least the dates do. Thanks for the new example, though. ScreaminEagle 22:49, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Ok I've made some changes. You can choose any color from List of colors, and adjust the table in lots of different ways.--Commander Keane 23:02, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

This is what I'll stick with I think. Thank you for all your assistance! ScreaminEagle 23:30, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Categories' sorting

Hi there, You've been changing the category sorting of several articles, but you don't consider that some people have 2 last names. For instance, Sergio Galván Rey and Guillermo Barros Schelotto were correctly sorted as Galvan Rey, Sergio and Barros Schelotto, Guillermo, but you changed that sorting to their second last name (Rey and Schelotto). Since they make use of both last names, and the first one is the father's lastname (that's the costum in Spanish speaking countries), everyone would go to search them at the letter of their first last name. I'm reverting your changes in this two articles, and any other in my whatchlist. Good wiking, Mariano(t/c) 10:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Army Combat Uniform

I don't know what happened-- the change I made certainly doesn't match my edit summary. I have put it back the way it was. Sorry about that! -- Mwanner | Talk 22:17, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

You wrote: "That's strange that it would do that." I've seen other weird stuff happen once in a while, but it's also completely possible that I screwed up somehow. I had spent a lot of time reverting vandalism and spam using multiple sessions, and it can get you crazy when it comes in too fast. Either way, alls well that ends... -- Mwanner | Talk 02:27, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

OK, I figured it out-- it was me. I was reverting spam by User:24.185.9.190, checking all his edits, and I hit an edit he'd made to Army Combat Uniform where he added a wikilink to Galaxy Army Navy Store, which I knew had been deleted. What I should have done at that point is go to the current version of the article and edit out the Galaxy link. Instead, I just called up the edit before his and reverted to it, thus blowing away all later edits, including yours-- case closed, my bad. So, sorry, I guess I need to be more careful. Anyway, at least it makes sense. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Cheers! -- Mwanner | Talk 02:38, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: JFHQ-NCR

It's got a "History" section in the article, doesn't it? ;-)

More generally, we tend to wind up dealing with anything that's even vaguely military-related, since there's really nobody else working in this area. Kirill Lokshin 20:31, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

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 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 20:41, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Pershing Rifles edits

Per the Pershing Rifles page, I am wondering why you delinked the years. I was under the impression that we were to link years just as we link to other articles. This, because the year in which something happened, put in the context of other events that happened the same year or date in history, gives the reader a better idea of what was going on in the world at the same time of the event in question.

Also, you changed "the Ohio State group" to "the Ohio group." The group spoken of is not just from the State of Ohio, but rather Ohio State University (mentioned at the beginning of the paragraph). To avoid confusion, I'm going to change that back with clarification added. Thanks. ScreaminEagle 20:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I delinked standalone years as (as best I can tell) there's been a quasi-consensus that years only should be linked if there's a day and month to go along with it. For a MUCH more in-depth discussion of that particular debate, wander over to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers).

As for the Ohio edit, I just made an arbitary decision as to which way to go with that. Therefore, I assure you that my feelings aren't horribly hurt if you've changed and clarified it. :-) – Swid ^{(talk | edits)} 20:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Galen B. Jackman

The infobox should be for the more prominent/notable awards - you don't need to relist everything in the article. As far as the list of awards, there is really no set policy. Common sense should prevail. My personal opinion is that marksmanship badges should be left off (everyone in the army and marines has one), as well as AAMs and ARCOMS. MSMs are debatable - it's still a fairly low level awards, at least in terms of what most notable military people will have. I think all valor awards are worthy of inclusion. Unit citations I think are pointless for listing for individuals, but for ships and units are fine. And badges in general are all fairly important enough to list (except for Air Force occupation badges - like marksmanship badges in the army, in the air force pretty much everyone has one, if I'm not mistaken). Once again, though, this is my own opinion, and what guides me when listing awards. Others on the military history task force might feel differently.--Nobunaga24 02:04, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Vandalproof edits

Hi ScreamingEagle, I always try to assume good faith. The majority of the time, when I see a redlink on a date page, I revert it using Vandalproof if and only if it appears to be nonsense (i.e. 1989 - Ashley, the queen of the world and that type of stuff). These are the only cases when I leave any sort of warning (t1, unless they have recently vandalized or repeatedly vandalized that page or another Wikicalendar page) on the user's talk page. If the user keeps adding the same entry, I clarify on their talk page that all entries must have Wikipages, and that to have a Wikipage a person must be notable by Wikipedia's definition, etc. If the edit is a no-link, I search for that name or simple variations it, and I revert it, usually manually, if I cannot find it. If the edit is a redlink but does not seem like a vanity/silly edit, I manually remove it and may note on the user's talk page (if it was the most recent edit to the page) that he or she might want to create a page for that person if the person meets notability requirements and then add the person's name to the page. Over the last few months, I have reverted hundreds, if not thousands, of additions to date pages, as I am actively involved in the Wikicalendar project, so it's inevitable that sometimes I mess up. I will look at the edit you noted and see if further action on my part needs to be taken. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Fabricationary 21:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Commas

Ah, don't worry about it; I'm not the least bit offended. You're probably right as far as the placement is concerned. (The reason I wasn't sure is because words-as-words can also be italicized, in which case there wouldn't be any quote marks to deal with; I was wondering if there might be some exception to the general rule related to that.) In any case, I've usually found that it's easier to simply reword the offending text rather than worrying about these things. ;-) Kirill Lokshin 05:37, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes

Do you mean to move the code directly onto your user page? All you have to do is write "subst" at the beginning of the userboxes you want to save. So, for instance, for {{User USA}}, go in and write {{subst:User USA}}. When you save the page, it will put the code directly onto your user page. If you have a lot of userboxes, the easiest way to do it is to copy the contents of your user page into a textpad, do a search for "{{" and replace it with "{{subst:". Hope that helps, JDoorjam Talk 22:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

The USS Simpson - the greatest, most important warship ever

I see you are taking on David Jason Silver, amateur wrestler extrordinaire, super-duper Balkan War veteran (who never left his ship while monitoring a peace treaty, so how he is a veteran of a land war I have no idea). Be prepared for tons of frustration - he is absolutely oblivious to any suggestion you make to him. He is living in a fantasy world where his naval service (2 years apparently) was the most important thing that ever happened in the history of the United States Navy. He has made a mess of articles by not ever using the preview button - he literally (I counted) had over 100 edits in a row on the USS Simpson article. Every time he changes the location of a comma, he hits "save page." He has made a mess of every article he has touched. For a good laugh, visit his "blog" [1]. I honestly (and this is not a personal attack) think he has mental issues.--Nobunaga24 23:53, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Commander Lists

Hmm, not sure what the best thing would be. For major positions, using succession boxes directly on the articles might be worthwhile. There's nothing wrong with long lists, though, provided the topic warrants them; see, for example, List of Doges of Venice. Kirill Lokshin 17:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Doing both might work. The only drawback would be that if it turned out the list wasn't useful after the fact, you'll have wasted the time it took to create it, so whether you want to do that is a choice you're in a better position to make. Kirill Lokshin 18:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

199 LIB

The reference was to the 3rd Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard). Today the battalion would be referred to as "2-3 Infantry Battalion", but during the CARS era it was referred to as the "2nd of the 3rd Inf" or just plain "two-three". It's only a presumption, but the Army possibly wanted a campaign streamer for the regiment for that conflict--as you can tell, there was no rhyme, reason, or tradition in assigning manuever battalions to the separate brigades constituted for Vietnam. I know it's popular nowadays to call an infantry division "the 3rd Infantry" but the word "infantry" has always referred to regiment and never division. (I'm old-fashioned in that regard, I guess, because to me an infantry division does not need that adjective--it's the "3rd Division"). Anyway, it was the regiment. Thanx for asking. --Buckboard 07:11, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Schloesser

Go to the Fort Campbell webpage, click on the Division tab towards the top, then look around on the left side of the screen for the "Commanding General" link. Click on that and the website will first take you the Thomas R. Turner II page, but then suddenly redirects to a new one with Schloesser's biography and such, stating him as CG. The URL is still listed for Turner, but it's Schloesser. Besides, I know the Schloessers.--SOCL 02:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

• Here's the CG webpage. It still says Thomas R. Turner II, but the material is on General Schloesser: Commanding General, 101st Airborne Division

I am in total agreement with keeping the picture and Ryan, General Schloesser, and Colonel Schloesser in the article--indeed, it serves its importance in historical terms. I also agree with making an infobox with General Schloesser's picture for his biographical article. Sadly, I'm not very good at Wikipedia editing and such...well, at least, I normally take guesses at what I'm doing based on other articles until I get it to look right, or someone else comes along and fixes it. And thanks for the Change of Command newspaper article! I had been looking for it, but couldn't find it anywhere!--SOCL 19:46, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

No worries about the rant. The same thing with the picture happened to me, but I managed to crop the picture out and fix it up so that now it's good--check the article: I added the infobox with picture. Let me know what you think. I also updated the 101st article. Do you think it would be pertinent to place the Change of Command photo in the 101st article? Perhaps in the subsection of the commanders, just as one example of the numerous changes of command at Fort Campbell. In any event, I couldn't tell you about most of his combat and other experiences, mostly due to the nature of the matters. That's not to say I don't know, but I'm really not at liberty to talk about much of it since...well, it's the nature of working with the SOAR...--SOCL 20:11, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I went ahead and added the 2006 Change of Command image from The Leaf Chronicle to the 101st article. Thanks for the help!--SOCL 21:37, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Commas and periods

I thought that in Commonwealth English the periods go outside of the quotation marks? Not relevant to this particular article (Military Brat), which should be and is written in American English, but it may not be a hard and fast rule for other than American English--and it can be problematic when editors partially correct an article that has been written in one dialect. This article does need some good copyedit work, though. KP Botany 21:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

If it is part Commonwealth/part American English, please take the time to make certain the article conforms entirely to American English--I'd like this article to be really good. I did not notice that, but am also doing a major comment/edit on the Sei Whale article which is written in Commonwealth English. KP Botany 21:44, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I thought you were saying it was a mix of both with this comment, "and given that this article had a mixture of both," on my talk page. I was horrified that I didn't catch that. Yeah, yeah, the major author missed quite a few grammatical niceties, but put together a much better article, in spite of that, than a lot of the FAC I've read lately. Any day give me someone who put the effort into the content, readability, and logical flow, and missed some grammar points that others can clean up. KP Botany 21:58, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Military brat (U.S. subculture)

Hey There Screamin, I just finished my major revisions on the article... significantly more coverage of the Post-Cold War Brat... and I think a little better organized. I was hoping that you could take a look at it and let me know what you think? I know the intro needs to be expanded, but that was going to be my last thing...Balloonman 08:57, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I found a couple of things that you can adjust on your next edit (since you edit it frequently enough).

• "because truly random samples on adult brats is impossible." Perhaps explain why the logistics of a truly random sample are difficult to achieve?
• "Non-military personnel may find the term “brat” insulting, and not may understand...." Switch "not" and "may"
  • This is a comment that I don't follow, the others make sense... but I don't see what you are recommending here.

Balloonman 16:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

• • • I meant it should read "Non-military personnel may find the term “brat” insulting, and may not understand...."
      • It's times like these where I wish I could say I was dyslexic... I read that section numerous times in the article itself... I read it here as you wrote it... and I couldn't see what was wrong with it. I continually read it as "may not" despite it actually saying "not may." WowBalloonman 21:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
• "Military culture has its own norms and expectations, which are so different that military brats can find civilians very different and often incomprehensible." It seems like that's one too many "differents" in a sentence, and also kinda redundant, actually. First it says they're so different (different from whom? Civilians) and then it again says the brats find civilians different. You see what I'm getting at.
• "Yet, the one constant where they find comfort is the order and regiment of military life." I think it should be "the one constant in which they find...." Military life is a thing, not a location. Also, the statement suggests they find comfort in nothing else. Is this true?
• "Even though the faces and geography have changed, the "base" remained recognizable because the rituals are consistent." Everything in the sentences leading up to that have been in present tense, then it switches to past tense there. I would say, "Even though the faces and geography change, the "base" remains recognizable, etc."
• Either define "Retreat" (as part of lowering the flag) in the article or link to it within Wikipedia--non-military aren't going to know right off what that is.
• "The Pledge of Allegiance will be recited every morning and patriotic/militaristic songs may be sung at military schools. " Switching tenses again (present to future). I would say "the PofA is recited every morning and ... songs may be sung...etc." Either the PofA is currently recited each morning, or it isn't. Predicting the future and stating it as fact isn't always a good idea.
• "Prior to movies at the base theater's, everybody stands for the national anthem and often another patriotic songs such as "God Bless the USA"." A wording preference. I would think it would sound better if you replaced "everybody stands" with "patrons and staff stand." Also, Switch "another" with "other."
• "Disciplinary expectations, however, extends beyond the military family." Should be "extend" not "extends."
• "...authoritarian, democratic, and mixed, inconsistent way." "And a mixed, inconsistent way?" I'm wary of correcting direct quotes, but you should double-check that since it sounds wrong.
• "For example, on base housing for officers will be significantly nicer...." "Nicer" sounds less professional. Of a higher quality? Something like that. Also, is there supposed to be a hyphen between on and base?
• "Senior officers housing may be slightly larger and nicer than their lower ranking counterparts." Again with the "nicer." Also, either put an apostrophe after the 's' in officers, or say Senior officer housing.
• "On the largest bases, there might be a row of opulent houses referred to "Colonels' Row" or "Generals' Row."" Referred to as.
• "On the other end of the spectrum, are the enlisted quarters. Oftentimes enlisted personnel might be assigned apartments and only then if space was available." Take out the comma in the first sentence. Second sentence, "only then if space is available" to match to present tense.
• "The Officer Clubs are nicer than the Enlisted Clubs. Officers may even have nicer recreational facilities than their enlisted counterparts, such as a nicer swimming pool or recreation halls. Historically, base chapels and movie theaters would have designated seating for officers and their families." Nicer, nicer, nicer. Time to dig your thesaurus out!
• "Some bases even had two Boy Scout and two Girl Scout troops — one for officer children and one for enlisted children." When? It's in the past tense, so say, even something like "at one time" but I doubt people would go for that. Aim for a time period. Also, is there evidence stating brats are more likely to be involved in Scouting? Just curious.
  • I haven't seen any, I'll ask Rlevse because I personally believe that to be a true statement... might have something. As for timing, I know it happened as recently as the the 60's and perhaps 70's, but I don't really know.Balloonman 16:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
    • OK, then I would say "For at least the first half of the 20th Century and possibly as recently as the 1970s, some bases even had two Boy Scout and two Girl Scout troops...." And I asked about scouting because my brothers and my husband (all brats) were heavily into scouting, encouraged by our AD fathers (mine was Scout Master even). So I'm guessing it would make sense, too, given the order and such. --ScreaminEagle 16:13, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
• "Wertsch describes how children of enlisted personnel perceived their officer counterparts to receive specialized treatment." Worded a little awkwardly. I'll have to think more on how to make it simpler. Or you can.
• "The children of officers socialized with other officers' children. The children of enlisted personnel socialized with those of other enlisted personnel. Even if an officer brat and an enlisted brat became friends at school, this friendship rarely carried over to the home life. The physical separation and differences between available activities made it very difficult." This is all said in past tense as if it happened in the past, but it doesn't happen now. Is that the case?
• "This separation is by design. According to the U.S. Code of Military Justice, it can be illegal for an officer to become fraternize" Take out "become"
• "...it could be akward to have friends whose parent worked together." Awkward is misspelled. Also, the wording needs to be better. "It could be awkward to have two friends whose parents worked together..."
  • Yeah, this was a sentence that I struggled with...Balloonman 16:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
• "Military brats often develop a sense that allows them distinguish the rank of another child's father." I've often found this to be a little funny. They develop a sixth sense or something? I would think they would just have to ask or look at the uniform. I'm assuming you mean that they develop a sense of the necessity to distinguish the ranks or something like that rather than some supernatural power that tells them the ranks of people they've never met.
• "...rivalries don't just end at the end of the branch of service, each branch of the service has its own...." That comma should be a semicolon to avoid a run-on sentence.
• "where it was actually against military law to make a racist remark or not intervene when someone else does." Switching tenses, mid-sentence. "...when someone else did."
• "With strict guidelines based upon the rank in the military member" Rank of the military member.
• "smaller than the off base community" Again, should off and base have a hyphen?
• I copyedited a whole section because there was too much to put here. See if you agree with the changes.
• "Two of the common themes in Wertsch's book were abuse and alcholism." They still are those themes, so change were to are.
• 1980's and 1990's should be 1980s and 1990s.
• " The impact on the military's efforts remains inconclusive. Some studies report higher rates of abuse in military families others report lower rates." The impact of the military's efforts. And stick a dash or a comma + "while" between military families and others to avoid a run-on.
• "serving in the armed forces, this opens up the possibility of both parents being deployed at the same time...." Run-on. replace comma with semicolon, or add another connecting word after the comma such as "and" or "as"
• "Military members can be deployed for days, months, even years without their family." "Or even," or "and even."
• "With the increased demands on the U.S. military, many reservist..." reservist should be plural.
• Death in Combat "agressive" is misspelled. Two Gs.
• "Because they identify so strongly with other brats, they are curious about famous brats and the depiction of military brats in fiction." I know it sounds repetetive, but the second "they" should also be "brats" to make it clear that it is the brats who are curious and not, I don't know, researchers or something silly. English is funny that way.
• "Brats have more in common with each other than they do with non-brats." I would say they "often" do, not that they absolutely do.
• "Others join brat groups because they feel disconnected from civilian culture or want to be able to share their story with other brats who can appreciate their story" How about "want to be able to share their story with other brats who can identify with it."? "Their story" twice sounds funny.
• Also, I finally figured out what makes it sound so much like a research paper: all the direct quotes. A few quotes here and there are good to stress a point I think and to mix it up, but continually quoting these authors makes it look like the article can't speak for itself. Referencing them is one thing, but the quotes make it seem like the whole article may be just one big paraphrase. I might look for quotes that could be edited out or paraphrased. If the sentences around the quote basically say the same thing as the quote, then take it out--there's no real need for it (the citation to it will do just fine).

Oh yeah, and an excellent job on all the new information! --ScreaminEagle 14:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Awesome... I'll take a closer look at these later and try to incorporate them... thanks Balloonman 15:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Made just about all of these edits... including getting rid of most quotes. I left a few in where I felt that it was important to cite the original speaker/document, but got rid of 2/3rds of them.

Military Biographies

I appreciate you squaring me away on some of the things that should have been brought to my attention ScreaminEagle, however, what authority or prescedence does the WikiProject Military history have over other users (if any)? It is more presentable in an easy format to list the decorations and badges versus paragraph format. Even the Army uses this format on Department of the Army General Officer Management Office (DA GOMO) http://dagomo.us.army.mil/ --Signaleer 20:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, if we’re going to go down that road, what authority does the Department of the Army have over Wikipedia? If this were the Army’s website, then I could see the logic of using their preferences--but it's not. (Incidentally, most of the US commander biographies I’ve seen have used the paragraph-style awards and decorations section rather than the list-style: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], just to show a few varied examples.)

The purpose of the Military History project is to make military articles the best they can possibly be, and one way it accomplishes that is by trying to create easy-to-follow guidelines to help all of us editors write articles so that not only are they full of every bit of information that someone could want, but also in similar formats to create a sense of consistency and order (it should be noted that consistency and order should never come at the cost of accuracy, as it did in one recent instance, but this does not apply here). No, the project isn’t the end-all-be-all of the universe, but it does serve a purpose. By working as a cohesive and cooperative group, we get a lot more accomplished than we would by bickering and fighting against one another’s personal preferences and opinions—it’s the reason this project is one of the most efficient—and respected—projects on the site. Remember that Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not just a dumping ground for random information. I don’t think I’ve ever come across an encyclopedia that relies on lists when it could write it out instead, and that’s what makes an article here truly good—being informative, accurate, and encyclopedic. Naturally, there are times when only a list will do because otherwise it would cause mass confusion. I don’t believe that to be the case here, especially when the Army has already demonstrated that writing out a person’s accomplishments is not only possible, but desirable in some circles.--ScreaminEagle 22:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Military naming convention (disambiguation)

ScreaminEagle, You modified the name of my page 517th Parachute Regimental Combat Team by adding "(United States)" as a disabiguator. You note that this is consistent with the new military naming conventions. But I looked at the conventions which you reference above and I do not see anything that specifies a country designation in this format. Many existing links use a "U.S." at the begining of the entry, especially with Armies and Divisions, where there may be multiples. But in this case, there is no disambiguation needed. There is one and only one 517th PRCT. I find the new format unneccesary. Furthermore, if you search for "parachute infantry regiment", you will find a dozen listings, none of which use this new naming convemtion, and it is necessary for none of them. Can I remove the change?

Rbarrett3776 00:54, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: New Unit Naming Conventions

Let's see:

Regarding the 517th: the guidelines don't require a disambiguator, even on numerical designations; indeed, disambiguators are unnecessary "where the name is clearly unique", and should only be preemptively disambiguated when the name "can reasonably be expected to be used by multiple armed forces". So if it's clear that the name of the 517th is unique (and I wouldn't be surprised, given how long it is and how high the number goes), there's no problem with removing the disambiguator.

Regarding the double parentheses: assuming that that is, in fact, the unit's real name (and hence we can't get away with using either "#th Infantry Regiment" or "#th Airborne Infantry Regiment"), there are two options:

• Consider whether this arrangement makes the name sufficiently unique that we can dispense with a disambiguator.
• Just use "(Airborne) (United States)"; it's admittedly clunky, but there's not much else that can be done.

Hope that helps! Kirill Lokshin 20:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

RE: Military naming convention (disambiguation)

Srceamin (and Krill), Thanks for the clarification, specifically with the 517th. I'm OK either way, but if the disambiguation is not necessary, then I vote to keep it simple. Note: I am not a fan of the "U.S." in front, since I have seen places with "U.S.", "US", or "United States". Let's hope that you guys thinking about the standards do get around to straightening out them all eventually, since it does make it a pain for those of us trying to keep our own links straight.

Category:Military brat

Well, somebody beat me to the category of military brat, but I went through last night and updated all of the brats on the List of famous military brats to have the category on their page. Well, the category has already been nominated for deletion. The reasoning is because it is a "non-neutral" term and parental occupation is irrelevant. Thus, I'm letting people who have contributed to the Military brat article know so that they can support the category. Here is the link to the discussion [9] Balloonman 20:11, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Tomb of the Unknowns

Just curious, looking at the Tomb of the Unknowns page I notice a revert about the uniform and preparation time for the uniform. Being an officer I am not aware of the dress blues being made from wool, I have never owned a set that were and have never seen any that are, even on the Tomb Sentries. Also on the 8 hour prep time for uniform. I have led soldiers who were Tomb Sentries and work with personnel who were on cassions. They have debunked the 8 hour uniform prep as myth started by an email that has been forwarded more than a few time. Where exactly is this info coming from? I would like to see it for myself for future reference. I am just a little skeptical of some issues on this site sometimes due to the fact that I have done some cleanup on awards and entries on bios only to have it reverted as "origional research" even though the change I made came verbatim from Army manuals and pubs. --User:Bluecord

This is why I also provided a lengthy explanation for my revert on the talk page of the very same article, complete with references. I wouldn't think the home page of the tomb guards themselves would lie about such things, especially since the whole point of their FAQ is to debunk those many and various urban legends that have been circulating throughout the internet. If you care to write to the current webmaster who is guaranteed to be a former sentinel and ask him yourself about these two issues and why they have not yet proved them to be false, then please do so. I will do the same if you like. Until then, I'll believe what they have published. --ScreaminEagle 00:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

An update: the webmaster of the Tomb Sentinels website responded speedily to my request for clarification on these two matters. He responded as follows:

"Our website is correct. The dress blues are "winter weight" uniforms made for the Sentinels. They are 100% wool so they hold a press longer and look better. There is no such thing as a "summer" uniform at the Tomb. And the Sentinels spend 8-10 hours preparing those uniforms for their shift, PLUS most of their time between walking the mat to continue to work on their uniforms.

"If your "friend" has any issues with his apparent "mis-information" or if he simply refuses to admit that he is absolutely, positively WRONG on this subject, he is more than welcome to contact either myself or any other Sentinel. Unless he (or his friends who served "in the caissons") served as a Sentinel, he has no clue. Only those of us who have walked the mat and worn the Tomb Guard Badge understand. A caisson blues vs those of a Sentinel - please...

"Feel free to forward this to him or have him write to me himself. I will be more than happy to direct him the Commander of the Tomb, The Sergeant of the Guard, any of the current Sentinels, the Commander of the 3rd US Infantry Regiment (the parent unit of the Sentinels), the Commanding General of the Military District of Washington (the parent unit of the 3rd US Infantry) or the Department of the Army. All of these individuals/organizations have reviewed our website and have approved its content."

I hope this clears up the confusion about the veracity of the information on the website. Thanks for contacting me about this. --ScreaminEagle 02:55, 28 February

Page moves

I see you have recently been quite active in moving military pages to the "correct title". Unfortuantely, I think you have been "cutting and pasting" from one title to another, which has the effect of separating the text from the edit history showing who wrote it, which is a condition of the GFDL licence. It is possible to move one page over an old pages, but it requires admin assistance to preserve the edit histories (either to swap the pages around, or to delete and then undelete the target).

You can ask for assistance at WP:RM. It may be worth posting a list of the pages that need moving there, or to the WikiProject MILHIST talk page. -- ALoan (Talk) 19:26, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant the occasions where you did not use the "move" button. If you are not an admin, you can only use the "move" button to move articles to a redlinked title (i.e. one that has not been used before) or over an existing redirect (so long as the only edit history of the target article is the creation of the redirect). If you can't "move" an article to the new title, the article under the target title must have had a more substantial edit history. Those are the cases where you will need admin assistance.

My apologies if I painted the problem larger than it actually is, and thanks for straightening out the titles. -- ALoan (Talk) 23:16, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanx on Old Guard deployments

You've been very helpful. I think I found some other goodies at http://www.army.mil/usapa/epubs/G-1_(DCSPER)_1.html that appear to be all unclassified, at least the ones I am interested in. I'll be passing this on to the sarge as well. As army regs, these downloadable PDFs are authoritative and up to date from the most reliable source, Uncle Sam hisself. I may also make some correction to the JROTC article as well (the most opinionated people seem to wither away in the sight of reliable sources!) Hotfeba 03:45, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

• I have added the first of my cite book template style book citations as a new "Partial Bibliography" section at the end of the miltary side of the Standing Operating Procedure article. I may get flagged for the particular way I'm using that template, but at least I tried to offer a legitimate source. When I can look up from others' legal problems and return to my wikihobby, I will continue to download the unclassified AR PDFs and use them as book cites on other military articles as well.

Fort Belvoir and retreat

Hey, S.E. --

I'm opting out of the "discussion" about military brats because it seems to me one contributor isn't all that open to different interpretations of reality. I'm stopping here to mention my theory (sorry, no citations available) that traffic might stop for retreat in the general area of the "official" post flag (if there is such a thing), but that's not the same as the whole place coming to a halt. I like to think I got on well with the military folks connected to DAU (where I was working), and I'm sure at least one of them would have said something if I were out of line. With your broader experience, does a somewhere-near-the-actual-flag theory hold water / stand up to inspection / [insert analogy here] ? Just curious. — OtherDave 22:54, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the follow-up. Belvoir probably is an exception, and maybe the only one, though there are a hell of a lot of bases / posts / stations / what-have-you. I wasn't trying to get into a debate with you-know-who; the overall tone of the article (when I read and commented) just seemed awfully... orthodox. It happens everywhere, though. I've run into any number of people who insist that the only way to spell MacDonald is with that capital D -- and continue to insist that after being reminded how Macdonald of Macdonald spells his name. (That doesn't mean you shouldn't use the capital D, of course, just that it seems pointless to insist on it.)

DC trivia for you: where could you find a memorial to FDR before the FDR Memorial opened? — OtherDave 23:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Good work on the FDR thing, though I didn't mean to make you do original research. I used to work near Capitol Hill, and so often passed the old FDR memorial. As for the new one, if they weren't going to listen to one of the three greatest presidents, that was the right way not to listen to him. State capital will have to wait; the FDR bit was only because of your knowledge of DC (I've lived in the area for nearly 30 years). — OtherDave 22:41, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Hanns Scharff

The juxtaposition of AG and interrogation bothered me, not the thrust of the comment. In my mind AG is infamous for prisoner abuse, not interrogation abuse. I didn't mean to make a big issue out of it--if you feel comfortable with the linkage, go ahead and delete my cn. I admittedly am not conversant on the "torture issue", but it did seem a stretch as the appropriate example. I only came to the article for some background on Scharff, since he interrogated the subject of another article I was working on. Thanx for the discussion.--Buckboard 01:09, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

According to what I was taught at interrogator school (and what is in the wikipedia article for the Abu Ghraib incident) the offending soldiers were MPs. "The abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib was in part the reason that on April 12, 2006, the United States Army activated the 201st Military Intelligence Battalion, the first of four joint interrogation battalions.[6]" The absence of qualified interrogators was considered by the army to be a contributing cause. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bayonetblaha (talk • contribs) 19:01, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

The Old Guard

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia, TabooTikiGod! I have noted that you made a good-faith edit with regard to the 3rd United States Infantry Regiment article. You moved this article to the title of 3rd Infantry Regiment (United States) per the renaming guidelines of the MILHISTWP. In most cases, this would have been just fine. However, the 3rd US Infantry is uniquely named: it's official name is the 3rd United States Infantry Regiment. "United States" is not a country designator in this case, it is actually part of the unit's official name. This dates back to the Civil War when units in America had to be distinguished between United States units or Confederate units. This particular unit has maintained the "United States" designator as part of its official title and removing that or switching it around results in an innaccuraely named U.S. unit. An administrator will change it back, so no further action is required on your part. I just wanted you to be aware that there are a few exceptions to the naming conventions that have been hashed out and rehashed out; this is just one of them. I appreciate your willingness to help the project, regardless. Keep up the good work and be sure and sign up for the MILHISTWP and a few of its task forces, if you're interested. --ScreaminEagle 17:42, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

My response to this argument (TabooTikiGod)

Thank you for your observations ScreaminEagle, however I would point out to you and other Wikipedians who have particular concern in reference to the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment's name. The name of a Wikipedia article versus an official title of a person, place, thing, idea, etc. may vary and do not necessarily coincide with one another. If that were the case, then none of the U.S. military units listed would have (United States) following the name of the article. For example, 1st Infantry Division (United States), 7th Cavalry Regiment (United States), 173rd Airborne Brigade (United States), III Corps (United States) and so forth. This is merely done for organizational purposes and therefore does not reflect the official title of the unit. This particular Regiment should not be any different nor treated as a special case than the rest of the U.S. Army units and organizations on Wikipedia. -TabooTikiGod 18:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

To further support my reasoning of this issue, although The Old Guard's official website [10] has the title header as 3d United States Infantry Regiment, however, many of the articles within the official website describe the unit as 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) [11]. Furthermore, the official unit's association The Old Guard Association [12] refers the unit as 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment. Additionally, the United States Center of Military History (USACMH) Lineage and Honors Information of the unit describes it simply as 3d Infantry [13] which is dated 22 May 1997 which is, I might add, is the U.S. Army's official military history resource which supercedes the unit's history which reflects the organization's official lineage. In conclusion, there are many different reliable and official resources which one can draw from and list as a resource and argue what the "official name" of the unit is. Even in trying to accomplish this task, there are many contradictions and misnomers for the unit known as The Old Guard. Again, I would reinforce the effort to rename the article as 3rd Infantry Regiment (United States) to rectify this situation. -TabooTikiGod 18:49, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I changed the name of the article in good will and was not meant as a malicious act or meant to upset the Wikipedia community, particularly the members of the MILHISTWP. The act of changing the article was done with logic and reason which I have provided my thought process and showed concrete evidence to further explain and support my claim. -TabooTikiGod 19:12, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: Unwise Move

Oh no, not again! ;-)

But I think I'll let the discussion on WT:MILHIST play out for a bit before moving it back, so as not to risk devolving into a revert war on the thing. Kirill 20:16, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Although it seems that someone else has moved it back anyways, making the point rather moot. Kirill 20:25, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Tomb of the Unknowns

It's still there. The "clear" was just to add a break where the title of the "Dedication" section was hanging on the picture of the Changing of the Guard. I wasn't entirely sure where to place the new section so it's at the bottom. Feel free to tweak it. I imagine you're more acquainted with the subject than I am. I think I got the point across without being too wordy or going into unnecessary technical detail. →Wordbuilder 03:29, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Good catch. I fixed the typos and will be watching for the info on the preservation organizations. That'll help tie things together (what led to the amendment from the plan to replace). →Wordbuilder 21:03, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Request for mediation

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/3rd US Infantry, and indicate whether you agree or disagree to mediation. If you are unfamiliar with mediation on Wikipedia, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. Please note there is a seven-day time limit on all parties responding to the request with their agreement or disagreement to mediation. Thanks, Daniel 05:16, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

If you agree to mediation, I only ask that you demand my mandatory joinder as a party, as I see the caller's (1) failure to include me and (2) failure to include my talk page CMH citation showing the 19th century use/approval of 3rd United States Infantry Regiment by the general in command of the Army at the time as forming the basis of any allegation against you of NPOV violation. If you agree to mediation but cannot effect my inclusion, then feel free to look up and use the CMH source I cited on the article talk page. Hotfeba 23:54, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

UPDATE: I have put the shortest form of my position regarding the first point of mediation (the official name of the unit in question) at the end of my talk page, including related citations of Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Style guide#Military units and formations. It's fairly short, it adheres to current MILHIST style, and it does not require changes to that style for agreement. Unless I am mistaken, this in combination with the citations from AR 600-82, AR 220-1, AR 220-5, and The Army of the United States (1896) are persuasive. Hotfeba 06:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

No Resolution

Hello Tariqabjoyu. Could you please explain for me what the sticking point in our mediation was? You stated that it was a minor dispute at the most and you didn't appear to see what the hubbub was all about, leading us to believe that your decision would be quick and forthcoming. Yet this dragged on for weeks until finally one of the participants left in frustration, afterwhich you speedily closed the dispute (so it didn't appear as if you had simply forgotten us altogether, but simply were reluctant to act upon the dispute). Everyone had put forth their arguments and responses in a timely manner, so I doubt you were simply waiting for us instead. I see that you were out of town for a couple of days, but that should not have hindered a dispute that had been open for over a month. I admit that I'm extremely disappointed by this after the rest of us had been willing to put our time and research into this in order to see a viable outcome only to be put on the backburner, which is slightly insulting. Surely there was justification for this? What was it about our dispute that precluded a decision on your part, and a decision within a reasonable amount of time at that? --ScreaminEagle 00:08, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

You stated that it was a minor dispute at the most and you didn't appear to see what the hubbub was all about, leading us to believe that your decision would be quick and forthcoming.

That appears to be the source of the confusion: you have been misled about the concept of mediation if you believe there was going to be a "decision" by me. Mediators are not judges; they will help people solve their disputes, but they don't make binding rulings like ArbCom. I am permitted to make recommendations that seem to point toward a resolution, but there was no reason for me to do that here as the mediation had ground to a halt (since, apparently, there was no major dispute). I don't need to (or even should) decide anything; the lack of participation from the disputants is a tacit agreement that either the issue isn't a big deal to the participants anymore and/or that the issue is resolved. So, in a way, I was waiting for you all. I was waiting for you all to proceed with something other than statements that corroborated the idea that there was no major dispute. That never happened. Had not Hotfeba (or anyone else) withdrew and the discussion proceeded to be dormant, I would have closed the case due to disinterest. I'm not going to goad you all to argue over something where no argument exists. -- tariqabjotu 03:31, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for responding. You are correct in what I expected being not the case in reality. The whole issue was that every one of us agreed on the issue but for one editor, the one who took this issue to mediation in the first place. We called our agreement a consensus; however, he was unwilling to accept that decision and brought it to mediation expecting to "win." What we were hoping would come from this process is some rational outside party agreeing that we indeed had a concensus on the issue, with one dissenting opinion (which is, what I understand from WP guidelines, can still constitute a consensus). Or, that same source would tell us we didn't have a consensus at all and we were expecting too much here.

We didn't say anymore in the mediation because there was nothing left to be said on our end--we'd made our case, the same case we've made to him repeatedly, and he was unwilling to bend. What else could we have said? Ryecatcher even proposed a title that could possibly have made him slightly happier, but nothing. After that, with no outside party like yourself commenting on which solution made more sense, what is the point? If we couldn't reach a decision before mediation, what hope is there afterwards when one party can't accept the consensus of every other party involved and the outside party isn't able to lead the discussion towards a resolution; no resolution was ever even suggested from what I could see. This is my point: if you never planned to give your own opinion on the matter and only ask the questions that have been asked several times before, there was no way this issue was ever going to move past the deadlock that it ended in. --ScreaminEagle 19:22, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I have amended the reason for the closure of the case to include the fact that there wasn't much to discuss, but that's the most I will do at this moment. -- tariqabjotu 20:50, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Post-mediation relief

I enclose the following links regarding the earlier mediation on the Old Guard (which I note appears to be named correctly for the moment), the first to a new article working against the backlog of missing mathematical articles at Wikipedia, and the second of which more or less describes my take on the whole escapade (especially since it was the party who called for the mediation who also got me involved on my talk page in the first place):

new article for impossible event

A potential WP essay...

I note with amusement that during the recent page-move debate, one editor had his mind blown that the Old Guard's name is exactly and officially as the Old Guard says it is. For mind blowing, if the official name is anything but 3d United States Infantry Regiment (Old Guard), then I must've been AWOL and damn close to desertion when I went to the NCO academy at Ft. Knox for a month on "official" orders! Hotfeba (talk) 20:15, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Henderson Hall

Well, first off, thanks for the note. I honestly think it's the first time I've ever had someone explain on my talk page about a change they've reverted. Second, I have to admit you kind of just caught me guessing. The article on Henderson Hall doesn't mention what's going on there now, and the official website reads HQBN, Marine Corps National Capital Region Command. It doesn't look like it's out of date (the CO's bio mentiones his previous assignment in 2005), so maybe the naming convention is a bit out of whack. Either way, you seem to be more knowledgable about the military in the capital region than myself, so I'll trust your judgement on the situation.

P.S. I'm a Cpl, not a Sgt. ;) bahamut0013♠♣ 18:36, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm getting the feeling that the headquarters in Quantico and the HQ in Henderson Hall are two different oganizations. The link you provided mentioned that "The Marine Corps Installations National Capital Region provides a regional coordinating authority for Marine Corps resources for anti-terrorism, force protection and incident response", which makes me think that it is a security organ, while the Marine Corps National Capital Region Command is the actual command organ. Despite the fact that the article says that one was renamed into teh other, I'm thinking it might have actually been a split (unless I can find something official contradicting that, that is my humble opinion). I think I will dig deeper on this issue and see what I can turn up (I can email a few guys who work at Quantico), because this is sufficiently muddled to me that I need it explained in words of one syllable or less. bahamut0013♠♣ 15:38, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm coming up with zip on this so far. Since it would be inappropriate to leave our best guess on Wikipedia, I suppose we will have to leave it as it is until we do get something more verifiable. bahamut0013♠♣ 16:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, the couple of folks I know from that area have no clue. I wouldn't have any contacts with the organizations themselves, either at HH or at JFHQ. If you have a phone number or email I could use, then you can email it to me (firstname.lastname@usmc.mil). bahamut0013♠♣ 16:15, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Kevin Rollins

The page on Kevin Rollins you added isn't copyrighted text, is it? As in, you wrote it from scratch yourself? It was deleted the last time because someone had just copied and pasted his bio from another site onto WP, and that's a no-no. I ask because "Mr. Rollins" showed up in the text and that's what other websites use in their bios--not Wikipedia (WP doesn't use titles throughout the bios). If it's all yours, good job on the writing! If not, you should probably rewrite it to avoid it being deleted again. Regardless, you'll need to take out the "Mr." in "Mr. Rollins" to conform with policy. Again, good job! --ScreaminEagle (talk) 15:03, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Army Green Force Wiki

I am involved with a MediaWiki implementation for the Army called Green Force Wiki. We are just getting started but have attracted some good sized communities pretty quickly. The site is not a public site and uses Army Knowledge Online authentication. It is also restricted to certain account types. The scope of the wiki is a little different in terms of current information versus history, but I wanted to alert your community if some of you are active Army. We are not looking to duplicate what is on Wikipedia but provide more information relevant to the Army community behind Army firewalls. For instance we are starting to have Unit pages built but we need a great deal of help here. If you are or anyone in your community is active Army and wants to lend a new wiki a hand please let me know. I would rather not put up the link here but I would be glad to share it with you. My AKO name is todd.miller11 so please contact me through AKO email. I hope that one day our wiki grows to be as nice as some of the ones I have seen built here. --Tfmiller65 (talk) 21:39, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, sir sorry for the misunderstanding. I don't have a citation or reference for my statement and I didn't understand what you said at first, but now I do. Sorry for the inconvience, You and I wasted valuable time that we could have used working on other projects and articles. Thank you for the explanation and happy editing.

HairyPerry (talk) 13:40, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Also...

Burns' departure caused a resurface of the rumors that had circulated about him since 1998. As Burns said, "The rumor mill surrounding me has always been really strange." These "specious claims" included dying from a heroin overdose, being run over by a car, and being replaced, like Paul McCartney of The Beatles, by a look-alike. Some viewers claimed that "clues" regarding Burns' demise were even placed within the show. Burns even made an appearance on The Rosie O'Donnell Show to dispute these rumors, and both he and co-creator Angela Santomero appeared on Today to help parents assuage the fears of children who might have heard the rumors.

Look at the paragraph above and tell me that thats not about rumors because it is not about facts. Thanks and happy editing.

Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16

The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.

US National Archives collaboration

United States National Archives WikiProject

Would you like to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the National Archives and its incredible collection? This summer, the National Archives—which houses some of America's most important historical documents—is hosting me as its Wikipedian in Residence, and I have created WP:NARA to launch these efforts. There are all sorts of tasks available for any type of editor, whether you're a writer, organizer, gnome, coder, or image guru. The National Archives is making its resources available to Wikipedia, so help us forge this important relationship! Please sign up and introduce yourself. Dominic·t 15:22, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter

The first ever WikiProject National Archives newsletter has been published. Please read on to find out what we're up to and how to help out! There are many opportunities for getting more involved. Dominic·t 21:40, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter July 2011 News Featured article contest This week, our first multilingual featured article contest was announced. We are aiming to improve the articles on the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or Bill of Rights to featured or good status in English and other languages. Prizes for winners will be a gift package from the National Archives including a book of your choice or a tote bag, and other swag, plus, of course, a special barnstar. August 6 backstage pass Plans are in the works for a meetup and backstage pass event at the National Archives II facility in College Park, MD. There will be a regular social meetup, a discussion with Dominic about WP:NARA, a tour of the building by NARA staff, and then time for a scanathon and editathon in the research rooms and library until the building closes at 5 pm. Keep your schedules open! From our recent uploads: ...see more. Special requests: This section includes special requests from the NARA staff: Archival Recovery Team The National Archives' Archival Recovery Team (ART) is a team of law enforcement agents and archivists who investigate NARA's lost and stolen documents. They have received media attention ([14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21]) and would like to request an article be written for the team, if Wikipedians deem it notable. It is hoped that making more information about the group available on Wikipedia will increase public awareness of the documents they are seeking to recover. Ongoing Today's Document challenge The Today's Document challenge is an opportunity for Wikipedians to get their work related to National Archives holdings spotlighted on Archives.gov and the National Archives' tumblr. Each day the National Archives selects a document related to the day's date to showcase. The goal is to get articles related to the selected documents on the main page in ""Did You Know...?" the same day that the National Archives features the document. Alternatively, other appropriate articles related to National Archives holdings not already selected will be used for new documents of the day by NARA staff and posted to their tumblr. Wikisource WP:NARA has a sister WikiProject on Wikisource, WS:NARA. On Wikisource, editors transcribe, proofread, and arrange documents. This helps to make little-known documents more discoverable, or well-known documents more searchable, and improves accessibility. See the files being worked on. If you are new to Wikisource and would like to participate, there are experienced Wikisourcerors willing to be mentors. New contributions A list of some recent contributions to the project: Wikipedia District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act (Fetchcomms) Court of the Patriarchs (CutOffTies) Opposition to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom (Fetchcomms) Wikisource1 Memorial of Queen Liliuokalani in relation to the Crown lands of Hawaii Petition from women of Brookline Resolutions of the Joint Committee on the Washington Monument H. R. 4982 A Petition For Universal Suffrage Susan B. Anthony petition for remission of fine Alexander Hamilton's commission to take rank as Colonel 1Credit goes to Prosody, Theornamentalist, Inductiveload, Digipoke, George Orwell III, Kathleen.wright5, BirgitteSB, and Zhaladshar Tools Archives.gov grabber (Slakr) Future plans Major image contribution The National Archives has hundreds of thousands of digitized documents in its holdings. We are working on a bulk upload to Commons of one particular cache of about 123,000 TIFF master files in the next few days! Once uploaded, these will require a massive community effort to help categorize the files on Commons and add them to articles on Wikipedia or transcribe them on Wikisource. Inclusion in the online catalog We are currently working on a system for including links to pages on Wikimedia projects in the National Archives online catalog. The Wikimedia projects are hosting an increasing number of transcriptions of National Archives documents and high-quality image and video files that are not available through NARA's own site. Links to these Wikimedia pages in the documents' actual catalog records will benefit the end user by providing them access to further resources about the documents, and they will also demonstrate the National Archives commitment to supporting Wikimedians' efforts.

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject Colorado

It was recently suggested that WikiProject Colorado, to which you are a member, may be inactive or semi-active and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. After reviewing the project it appears that there haven't been much active discussion on the talk page in some time and the only content updates appear to be simple maintenance so being supported by a larger project might be beneficial. I have begun a discussion on the projects talk page to see how the members of the project feel about this suggestion. Another user has added the project to the WPUS template and I added it to the list of supported projects in the WPUS main project page but before I take any further action I wanted to contact each of the active members for their input. --Kumioko (talk) 23:44, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Survey

Hi ScreaminEagle!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

An exciting month of wiki events!

Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,
James Hare

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
