Hello, I'm Excirial. I noticed that you recently removed all content from Texas Military Forces Museum, with this edit without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, I restored the page's content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 18:49, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Excirial, thank you for your message. Either you must be wrong or I did something I hadn't meant to do. I deleted all content of my personal sandbox. The content of Texas Military Forces Museum, which I just created, is available still. Can you confirm please. Thank you, best regards --Chris.w.braun (talk) 18:53, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Excirial, I just noticed something went terribly wrong – my fault – and not my intention. This has never happened to me before and I apologize for any inconvenience. Can you "undo" my last "delete" of the article "Texas Military Forces Museum"? --Chris.w.braun (talk) 18:59, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Photos of Japanese tanks and AFV's
I see you do quite a bit of uploading of Japan government war-time photos for Wikipedia articles. They being public domain according to article 23 of old copyright law of Japan (English translation) and article 2 of supplemental provision of copyright law of Japan. One you uploaded was for the Type 98 20 mm AAG Tank article. I was hoping you might add a photo for that article as to the prior single gun prototype which was designated the Type 98 Ta-Se. I found a photo of it on Taki's Imperial Japanese Army Page, which is also cited in the Wikipedia article. Others that need photos are: Type 5 To-Ku, Type 95 So-Ki, F B, Type 1 Ho-Ki, Type 98 20 mm AA Half-Track Vehicle, Ho-Ri II, variant under the Type 5 Chi-Ri article. I know Taki's has photos he has used on these tanks and vehicles. If you don't want to do it, let me know. I would do it myself but at this time don't have experience in the upload process. Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 14:08, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Kierzek, indeed I try to find images for all weapons, equipment and units of IJA and IJN, but it's not easy. I will keep looking for the vehicles you mentioned and hopefully find some images soon. Cheers, --Chris.w.braun (talk) 14:13, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that will really help those articles for readers. Taki's should be a good source. Kierzek (talk) 15:20, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Kierzek, I covered Type 95 So-Ki, F B, Type 1 Ho-Ki, but can't find any images of the others. If you have a link please post it here. Thanks, --Chris.w.braun (talk) 15:15, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, good work so far. I have to leave for the afternoon, but try: Taki’s Imperial Japanese Army Page; here is one more I found without a photo: Chiyoda armored car. Kierzek (talk) 15:53, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for showing me how its done; its nice to learn something new and adding photos always helps an article. Kierzek (talk) 04:26, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

You are very welcome. Cheers, --Chris.w.braun (talk) 15:05, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

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)

Japanese AFV photos
Chris: I see you added a photo to Type 5 To-Ku, not sure that is actually one (look at the chassis, number of road wheels and return rollers); even though I know the caption of the original photo states it is one. But, I am really writing because, I see when you add photos here, you tend to also add them to other Wikipedia articles for other countries that are missing a main photo. If you see some other country Wikipedia articles missing any of the photos I have uploaded on Wikimedia Commons over the last 8 months for IJA and IJN, please feel free to add them to those other articles, as well. As always, keep up the good work, cheers, Kierzek (talk) 16:42, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Dear Kierzek, thank you very much for your feedback. And though you seem to be right, and I seem to be wrong – I'm glad that there is someone out there helping me to identify those old vehicles. After some extended research I have to confirm that the image I uploaded today seems not to be the Type 5 To-Ku. I will delete it asap. Unfortunately I am not able to find any Type 5 image at the moment. If you find a link please send it to me – I will take care of it. Also, whenever I see that articles of our Wiki-brothers and sisters are missing the image, I always try to care of it. Your help and your comments are much appreciated. Best, --Chris.w.braun (talk) 00:38, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Maybe there is a fair use drawing we could use for the Type 5 To-Ku; I have seen some. Looking into it further, as for the photo you had uploaded it is a Type 2 Ka-Mi. Kierzek (talk) 01:00, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * You are absolutely right. I went to a bookshop the other day and found a book about tanks. In the book there was an article about the Type 5 showing exactly the image I had uploaded. When I found the image on the internet, with a caption saying it's the Type 5, I was sure I'm doing the right thing. Good work Kierzek! Took the images off the articles. Best, --Chris.w.braun (talk) 01:03, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey, no worries. Unfortunately, that image has been used in other sources, misstating the same information; including on the "Tank Encyclopedia" website. It is on my list of to-dos to write them as to same. Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 15:42, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi Kierzek, which pages do you mean? Best, --Chris.w.braun (talk) 18:40, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I mean other websites and other sources, not Wikipedia article pages. Kierzek (talk) 18:49, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Gotcha. Thanks Kierzek. --Chris.w.braun (talk) 19:02, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Japanese AFV on Wikipedia.de
Chris: I know you are fluent in German and also post on German Wikipedia. I recall last time I was on there, it has some gaps as far as articles on Japanese AFV and tanks, in particular. I was thinking if you have the time you could translate over some of the English articles with photos to there, even if in abbreviated form; for example, I wrote on one Type 87 Chi-I medium tank, which that Wiki should have. I know it would take time and be work, so it is just a suggestion. Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 12:57, 13 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Kierzek, yes – I am fluent in German. I would love to take care of ALL IJA related articles on German Wikipedia, but time is rare these days. When I find an hour I promise you the Type 87 Chi-I medium tank will be my first article. Thanks for reaching out to me. Cheers, --Chris.w.braun (talk) 22:15, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I know how it is not to have time...just whatever you get a chance to do, would be good for the readers therein. Kierzek (talk) 16:47, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Kierzek, I sent you an email, pls check. Thanks, --Chris.w.braun (talk) 18:17, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Done and sent reply. Thanks, Kierzek (talk) 18:25, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi Kierzek. I just created the German article of de:Experimentalpanzer Nr. 1 (Experimental tank number 1). In my sources I couldn't find anywhere the naming "Type 87 Chi-I". I also uploaded two new images regarding the tank. Best, --Chris.w.braun (talk) 03:24, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Good job on the German version of the article. Type 87 equals the year of the Emperors rule; Type 87 is for the 2587 Imperial year (1927 or 2nd year of the Showa Era). The matter is discussed some by Hara and on Japanese Wikipedia. BTW-the photos you up loaded are NOT of the Chi-I, but according to Hara's AFV 49 publication are of the subsequent Type 91 experimental heavy tank (page 4). There are some other Type-87 Chi-I photos and as you know the pages are not numbered, but if you count the pages, they are on page 2. Check it and see. Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 07:21, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Dear Kierzek. Thank you so so so much for your comment about the images! You are absolutely right (again)! Dude, I feel bad about this. I immediately deleted the images from all Type 87 related pages. I will also re-link/re-comment the images on WikiCommons. I guess I got to too distracted by my kiddos and wasn't reading properly. I appreciate your way of letting me know of my mistake. Best, --Chris.w.braun (talk) 20:21, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * No problem, Chris; we all make mistakes, as we try to improve the articles for readers. Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 21:31, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks again! --Chris.w.braun (talk) 23:52, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Great; don't forget to fix the Wikipedia.de article as to these photos, as well. Kierzek (talk) 14:53, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Kierzek, I already did, see here: de:Experimentalpanzer Nr. 1. Or do you see something else? --Chris.w.braun (talk) 14:55, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I see what I was looking at was your draft article page on Wikipedia.de. Kierzek (talk) 14:56, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Kierzek, gotcha. I deleted the content on my draft article. Thanks Kierzek. --Chris.w.braun (talk) 15:02, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I hope you will consider translating the IJA O-I to add to Wikipedia.de, next. Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 21:13, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
 * updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various 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 scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Correction to previous election announcement
Just a quick correction to the prior message about the 2022 MILHIST coordinator election! I didn't proofread the message well enough and left out a link to the election page itself in this message. The voting will occur here; sorry about the need for a second message and the inadvertent omission from the prior one. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:40, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
