[edit] February 2008
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Waffen-SS, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Thank you. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 18:19, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[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:
- 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, 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 style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
- If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention.
- The project has a stress hotline available for your use.
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 18:59, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 12:59, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Your comments to my talk page
First of all, I don't read long diatribes anywhere. A couple of bullet points would have worked. Second, there is no "truth", there is WP:VERIFY and WP:RS for sourcing. There's WP:WEIGHT to cover fringe theories. There's no original research to prohibits writing original research and adding it to the article. And finally, there's WP:NPOV, stating that we have to be neutral. Your edits and statements violate most of those rules. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 18:39, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] March 2008
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Omaha Beach, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please do not attack other editors, which you did here: User talk:Orangemarlin. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This edit constitutes a personal attack. Worse yet, I didn't make a single edit to Omaha Beach. You are becoming tendentious and you should stop. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 05:39, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
