[edit] Welcome!

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:

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 21:12, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] .mil

The refs are admissible, and perfectly reliable, of course; but they aren't independent of the subject of a military article. According to WP:N, we need two independent reliable sources. Hence we need a couple of non -.mil sources to demonstrate encyclopaedic notability, and then we're free to use all reliable sources.

This general rule is sometimes superceded in individual cases, when consensus has evolved; all geographical locations with a reasonable population, for example, are considered notable be default, regardless of reliable sources. So are all members of any major legislative body. If you're concerned about the effects on the Military History project, I think you needn't too much; well-organised projects can usually demonstrate the need for such exceptions.

Thanks for clarifying. --BizMgr (talk) 00:05, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

I have never had the pleasure of interacting with you before. I feel that the least that I can do is thank you for your valued participation in the Admiral Jay A. DeLoach issue. Cheers! Tony the Marine (talk) 01:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletions and AfD

Hey, I noticed your edits to Thriftbooks and need to clear up some stuff about the deletion process. First, if you have tagged an article for speedy deletion, then you do not need go through the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion process for it; all you need to do is wait for an admin to take action on the article. Secondly, if you do take an article to an AfD discussion and it already has been through the process once before, like Thriftbooks has, you need to create a separate deletion discussion page (such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thriftbooks (2nd nomination)) to avoid cluttering up previous discussion pages. That can be done easily by using the afdx template instead of the regular "afd" template on the article in question. Hope this helps, and happy editing. :) NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 07:10, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah! That is a huge help. I got turned around in all the different delete manners. Thanks! --BizMgr (talk) 07:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
I am completely confused as to why you left an AfD template on this article on my talk page. I've never even edited the article as far as I can tell? Shell babelfish 15:51, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
You voted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thriftbooks the last discussion about it. --BizMgr (talk) 04:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Citation on Dave Arneson

In this edit you removed a challenge the quality of a citation. You noted "rv 'questionable credibility' tag on ENWorld ref. It is one of the largest RPG sites on the net." While ENWorld may be large, it is fundamentally a forum and the citation is to a forum post. Size in such a situation is irrelevant. How do we know that the poster is correct? How do we know that the poster is who he claims to be? As such it really isn't quite up to Wikipedia's ideals. I've readded the challenge. — Alan De Smet | Talk 04:25, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Matthew McCauley

I've reverted your redirection of this redirect, not because I think that the mayor is necessarily more significant than the CEO, but because currently all of the links that point to that page mean the mayor. If you want to change the redirect, please correct those wikilinks as well in order to avoid disrupting the navigability of the project. 19:31, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
