I'd be more than willing to adopt you. A few things I do want to know so I can get a sense of where we're both at:
As a first question, could you point me towards the exact requirements for an A level article?
Welcome aboard. My apologies for the lack of notices of adopter status. It's mostly a page clutter thing. If you have questions, feel free to drop by my talk page. Cam (Chat) 05:34, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
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 any of the project coordinators or any other experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome, and we are looking forward to seeing you around! Woody (talk) 00:55, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Hope this helps. Cam (Chat) 20:52, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Ah. What you watchlist is this page right here. As for the infobox question, it depends. Since you're dealing with stuff related to ships, I'll use that as my example. Basically, anything in the infobox that isn't referenced elsewhere (usually displacements, speed, range, crew #, armour thicknesses, aircraft count (if applicable), gun calibers. Look at the pages for Iowa class battleship, Yamato class battleship, or Kongo class battlecruiser as a reference point. I know for a fact that the latter two are correct as far as standards for referencing in infobox go, given that one is FA and the other is GA. Cam (Chat) 22:46, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
I've noticed that you've done some fairly extensive work on this article. I wonder if you'd be interested in collaborating on it to get it to GA-class? I should be able to devote some time to it in a few days, but see what you can do to clean it up in the meantime and I'll nominate it sometime next month after we've whipped it into shape.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:26, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your frank and constructive criticism. I will address the issue of the unsourced statements directly. Though I would like to raise one point about your suggestion concerning including more information about the the Regiment's activities in Spain during the French intervention in Spain. I have been looking for days for reliable information about that campaign that is more detailed, but at the moment it is not forthcoming. However my suspicion is that it is burried somewhere is in some obscure primary source material that will take some considerable effort to get a hold of. I just wanted you to know that, in case you do review the article again at some point. Regardless, thank you sincerely for you forthright and constructive feedback. LeonidasSpartan (talk) 13:23, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
Copy edits are being completed by myself, as you are probably aware. This is an interesting article, in excellent shape. I have a question: In the section about armour, you mention something called the "Walker Board." This board is unexplained in the article and I could find no info on it. Do you want to elaborate about what this board was, or edit it out, or leave it stand?
I have completed the first round of copy edits and will start formatting the references. A fresh look at the copy editing will take place after that to see if anything got missed. Diannaa TALK 16:13, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up about the TFA of Mary Rose. It's very nice to see that it could be featured so soon, but since I believe it's more beneficial to the article and the project, I've made a request to postpone it to the original request date at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article.

Didn't realize the issue was back up for discussion. If they rule against it then bya ll means do remove the site from the resources section. TomStar81 (Talk) 19:18, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
I have not created the entry "Frank Juhas" on Wiki. I did play in several movies shot in Southeast Asia but I was very surprised to find my own name on Wiki. So what I did, I just tried to correct the information somebody has created about me. As far as I'm concerned, it is better if the whole thing is removed. However, I couldn't do it. Yours, Frank Juhas Frugivore (talk) 11:36, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 15:59, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
It's not a big deal, and I'm probably being overly careful, but I edited "nitpicks" out of your reply (silently) because I thought it might come across as disrespectful. Feel free to revert. - Dank (push to talk) 13:51, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi,
I have seen that you have removed the quotefarm tag from section 3 of the article. The introduction to that section seems o.k., the problem is with the subsections. I have tagged the section rather than each subsection separately. What do you think of the quantity and length of the quotes used in these subsections. In my view, it is excessive. Cs32en Talk to me 18:30, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Dear Yoenit, I am from BBC Blast and am an official BBC employee. Therefore I have the right to change it. If you edit it again then I will be contacting my boss in order to keep the page like that.
Thanks

HI, have you read the thread regarding your of wiki impersonation of Curry ? Is there any update, have you attempted to contact her and explain? Off2riorob (talk) 16:48, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Your impersonation of the living subject of one of our articles like that was a mistake and there was some support for a block, I hope you realize why you were wrong to do it and that if you are to continue as a wikipedia editor such off wiki foolishness should cease. Off2riorob (talk) 18:13, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Well, Jimbo has dropped his ban hammer and time is passing and you at least appear to understand the error of your ways and wouldn't go there again, your honest comments are appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 19:06, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Would you like me to assist with the message you posted there? If you aren't sure of your way around you might not be too comfortable moving it to WP:AN3. In the mean time, I protected the page about the Causican peoples, and gave a 3RR warning to the IP.

The link that I provided wasn't advertising anything. The link that I provided was to a magazine article. It explained and backed up everything that was in the Wikipedia article that was written. There was truly no reason for it to be removed as a reference.--64.22.204.94 (talk) 13:30, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
I'd actually forgotten about that. I will try to set aside some time this weekend to mess with the template and categories, and put in the request with the bot group. Thanks for pinging me on it!

You have reversed some edits of mine because you say they are unsourced. May I therefore remove unsourced "facts" in this venomously unfair biog of the subject which you have not edited out, perhaps because you agree with them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.145.99.96 (talk) 23:02, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

"Anyone who does not float in this inundation is most condemned. Such a person cannot be delivered for millions of kalpas. PURPORT The kalpa is explained in the Bhagavad-gītā (8.17): sahasra-yuga-paryantam ahar yad brahmaṇo viduḥ. One day of Brahmā is called a kalpa. A yuga, or mahā-yuga, consists of 4,320,000 years, and one thousand such mahā-yugas constitute one kalpa. The author of Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta says that if one does not take advantage of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, he cannot be delivered for millions of such kalpas." http://vedabase.net/cc/antya/3/255/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.133.48.118 (talk) 14:08, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey Yoenit, remember that Scientific American article on Massachusetts I said I was going to copy for you? I don't remember if I told you, but I did look at it before I left last semester (just never had the time to scan it). It does have some pertinent information and photos I can scan (it's pre-1923). I go back up there on Sunday; I'll try to scan and email it to you asap. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 05:13, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

http://twitter.com/NorthernDragon 23:12, 30 September 2010 (UTC) Never called you evil, you added that. Sort of a cheap tactic, but it's cool, I was getting a bit pissy :)
Actually, the more I learn the rules (which I did not bother to read, as you may have guessed by now) the more I realize it'll likely get cut. Still, had to try to do the geek girls a solid. Plus Seth Green rocks, so there's that.
You know, I was about to jump to the conclusion that this was a bit of a hostile place, but really it's not. This is Web 2.0 in action. You're just preserving the integrity of the the resource, and that's important - especially considering how many people consider it "dubious". Really, still?!?!
Actually the back and forth has been a bit exciting. Forced me to focus my arguments and, for the record, I will continue to do so until they take it down :)
But no, not evil, not hostile. Just very focused, and I can relate to that :) Thanks for writing, that was pretty cool! —Preceding unsigned comment added by NorthernDragon (talk • contribs) 23:12, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Renaming an article that is currently before ((afd)) breaks all the links in the header at the top of the discussion. Other wikitags, like ((rescue)), are also broken by renaming you did. Your alternate name is not superior to the original name, as "warlord" is itself a term with an enormous amount of baggage. Geo Swan (talk) 20:48, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I fully realise you did this in GF, but only creators or significant major contributors can ask for G7.
As I mentioned earlier, an edit of this kind has the effect of removing a great deal of information unless included as subtopics of the merged entry. While I agree with it in a general sense, I think that the way you've performed the merger has had the effect of losing large amounts of information related to Moh's hardness, symbol etymology, and older symbolic versions such as Daltonian and Alchemical symbols, among others. Were you considering your merger to have been complete or is it just a work in progress at this point? -Thibbs (talk) 15:50, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

As you have recently edited one of the two articles mentioned, I am notifying you of the proposed merger. Please comment at Talk:Magical negro#Proposing a merger. Thank you, Bigger digger (talk) 16:59, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Of those 3 images except File:Jayalalitha Early Star.JPG, all are mine. Please trust me. The jayalalitha image alone was uploaded by Kumarrajendran (talk). This jayalalitha image is already there in wiki page Tamil cinema and Dravidian politics. But it is not there in wiki commons. Clearly note that I found this image was not uploaded in wikicommons. So I uploaded it there and later wanted to add this jayalalitha image in "jayalalitha article" in wiki.
I thought re-uploading a file to wikicommons from already available image in wiki, is allowed. Since it is stated in the original uploaded page Tamil cinema and Dravidian politics description by Kumarrajendran (talk) at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jjkumar.JPG -- "I grant any entity the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law."
The only problem it went is -- I uploaded it in wikicommon saying it is mine. Thats it. As explained above I thought I can do so. Please understand this. This image was already there in wiki main article ONLY. I uploaded it in wikicommons for other purposes, inorder to re-use it for jayalalitha article.
Other than this both other images are mine ONLY. Why are you guys make me go hanged again & again like this. I also do edit and upload after reviewing all the instruction. Seeing everything in doubt is not good and crushes users like me. I am totally got mad when again and again this is raised against me. Please please for God sake try to reach me. !!!

William Boyd Profile
Can I ask why you removed most of the information I wrote in the article as the profile of William Boyd? What is left now is simply basic information that reveals very little about this author. I am extremely disappointed that all this work - over which I spend a very long time researching - has simply been removed at your own individual, subjective whim. Also, why did you take off the youtube links - these are all specific to the author and are relevant to his life and the writing of his novels?Ivankinsman (talk) 09:40, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Jonathan Raban Article
Can I also ask why you have removed the information I wrote about Jonathan Raban? I SPENT A HUGE AMOUNT OF MY OWN TIME AND EFFORT WRITING THIS PROFILE. I am fucking sick of editors like you and MoonRiddenGirl simply deleting articles and/or stripping them down to their bare bones. Why was this article not put to a general forum of editors to review before you changed it? What give you the right to simply delete important and interesting biographical information relevant to an author and simply leave boring, bare facts? Who can I appeal to on this issue - I know that whatever I say to you or that bitch will simply be ignored.Ivankinsman (talk) 09:51, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Sebastian Faulks Article
Can I ask why you have removed all the information about Sebastian Faulks that I SPENT A HUGE AMOUNT OF TIME ON RESEARCHING. What you have left is a simple list of facts about this writer and IT IS A TOTAL DISGRACE, as you are as an editor. Who can I appeal to to have your work reviewed - I want this done by another Wikipedia editor who is totally independent and objective.Ivankinsman (talk) 10:06, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi. Related to the above, I have not put this in template space, but you may find User:Moonriddengirl/CCIr useful. If you do, feel free to change "today's cleanup" to include the username you're using. It's easier to paste it that way. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:10, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

You removed the ((db-context)) tag from Low Carb High Fat with the explanation "no context means you don't have enough information to understand what the article is about. It is quite clear this is about a swedish diet". Can you tell me which Swedish diet the article is about? Surely more than one diet has originated in Sweden. To my thinking, telling me a diet is "described in Swedish" tells me nothing, and does not provide sufficient context. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 22:12, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
