Hi Shoplifter -
The article, as it stood, was not about the book but about "why is the book" wrong.

Let me add a note to this: Shoplifter, you need to at least state your point of view on the talk page, rather than just reverting repeatedly without explanation. Otherwise, you are not going to accomplish anything. Looie496 (talk) 21:23, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
Hejsan! Håller med om att artikeln är för USAcentrisk, och tack för erbjudandet, det hade varit värt ett försök att ordna artiklarna tillsammans, men tyvär är jag bara här lite då och då numera pga mycket tung arbetsbelastning. Om jag får mer tid över för detta projekt framöver så hör jag av mig ifall artiklarna inte redan blivit fixade då och du fortfarande är intreserad av att jobba på dem. Mvh, --Stor stark7 Speak 19:14, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Octoberlowres.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the ((GFDL-self)) tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria atWikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as ((non-free fair use in|article name)) or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. SeeWikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described oncriteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (perWikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 14:00, 13 December 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at theMedia copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:00, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi, nowadays, most academic journals (including Journal of Cold War Studies) are thoroughly international. JoCWS has an editorial board spanning the whole globe, for instance. Most journals pride themselves on being "international", but that is by now so common, that we don't even include this in most journal articles any more. I don't think that JoCWS is an "American" journal, it's international in scope, contributors, and editorial board. I hope that the above convinces you or at least explains my edit :-) Happy editing!--Crusio (talk) 20:42, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, please have a look at that category. It's a top category and articles should not be categorized into it but into one of the appropriate subcategories. Apart from this detail, thanks for creating all those good journal articles! --Crusio (talk) 20:42, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
At Crusio's suggestion , I have given the "autoreviewer" user-rigbht (see WP:AUTOREVIEWER, which means that new articles you start will be automatically marked as already reviewed in the new pages list. DGG ( talk ) 18:21, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi again,
Just a few details. For "history", I have systematically used the format xxxx-yyyy instead of xxxx to yyyy. I have no real preference (I think this came about more or less coincidentally) and as far as I know there are no specific instructions for this in WP:MOS (but I may be wrong there). In any case, it would be good to keep things kind of similar, instead of changing each others changes :-)
Country: after discussion at WPJournals, it was decided to only put a country if everything is very clear about this: a national society with a publisher and editor in chief all in the same country. For other cases, we just leave it blank (for reasons I have touched upon before). Also, somewhere in WP:MOS (I am certain I have seen it, just don't remember exactly where), it is said that obvious terms should not be wikilinked unless there is a specific reason for that. Hence, we don't link terms like "English" or "United States". Concerning the latter, I think "United States" (again according to WP:MOS) is preferred over "USA" or "U.S.A."
Let me know If I am mistaken in any of these things. Happy editing! --Crusio (talk) 20:48, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I see that we have a different idea of capitalizing scientific fields :-) When somebody asks me in which field I work, I write: "I work in neuroscience", not "I work in Neuroscience"... So in infoboxes I always use capitals for the first word, but not for subsequent ones. Not a big deal, I can change my habits, but just so we do things similarly.--Crusio (talk) 18:52, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Internationalsecurity.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currentlyorphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 04:00, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
